That's the point. Women tend to study the things that everybody wants to do, and because everybody wants to do them, they don't pay well.

I'm tired of this debate. Women aren't doing the same jobs. Wherever I work, there are well-paid employees, and few are women. Just go to a campus and peek into an engineering lecture and tell me who you see. It's not a mystery.

It wasn't snark. It was vitriol, which isn't funny.

That was good times.

It was OK. The straight A&E adaptation is still the gold standard.

Could you please do this for Stephen King, Stieg Larsson, Ayn Rand, and every biography I've read?

Yes! No, I just wish that the author had called it magic instead of writing badly about math and physics.

Yes, but I was thinking if you removed the entropy first, then no symbols will be any more common than other ones, so you can't do the thing where you find the most common letter and assign it to 'e'. So then you could use a repeating pad. I'm sure there is some big flaw in this concept.

That's bad, but the thing as a whole isn't horrible.

I already wrote gritty E. Brown fan fiction as a kid. Sally is kind of slutty.

NASA just released a paper which describes the positive experimental results propulsionless engine that doesn't quite seem possible. It probably isn't, but maybe you can use it in your next plot.

That doesn't hold up well, but it seemed cool when I was a kid. Don't look at the penny, Superman!

It's been decades so I don't recall that well, but from my recollection the tesseract was some sort of space-warper. Here's a Wikipedia summary of the book's use of the term:

I was somewhat disappointed when I learned later in life that a tesseract is just a cube in 4-space.

To da carriage!

I was wondering if you could still have a strong code by entropy encoding first, compressing and removing entropy, and then using a short key. I suppose this might still be crackable, and the compression would be difficult to do by hand.

"C" was written by Kernighan and Ritchie, I though.

I was very dubious at first but I think it's great. I've had primarily good experiences. I am also using it most for subjects like "The Binary Golay Code", which do not engender controversy.

Yeah, Barceloa was great.

His name wasn't ethnic (well, maybe ethnically British), but still definitely not Hollywood.
