Gender bias in open source: Pull request acceptance of women versus men (www.researchgate.net)

Our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's [when their gender is hidden]. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless.

Thanks for grabbing the chart.

My Stats 101 alarm bells go off whenever I see a graph that does not start with 0 on the Y axis. It makes the differences look bigger than they are.

The 'outsiders, gendered' which is the headline stat, shows a 1% difference between women and men. When their gender is unknown there is a 3% difference in the other direction (I'm just eyeballing the graph here as they did not provide their underlying data, lol wtf ). So, overall, the sexism effect seems to be about 4%.

That's a bit crap but does not blow my hair back. I was expecting more, considering what we know about gender pay gaps, etc.

Zelensky: 'Our partners fear that Russia will lose this war' (kyivindependent.com)

President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Ukraine’s partners “are afraid of Russia losing the war” and would like Kyiv “to win in such a way that Russia does not lose,” Zelensky said in a meeting with journalists attended by the Kyiv Independent....

Yeah although if Russia wins it'd involve "unstable geopolitics" too.

This could be a long war.

Spoiler:

I think the answer is community. We have to be responsible to more than ourselves. We have to feel an obligation to more than our children. It can’t just be a selfish desire to hold on to what we currently have. You can maybe grip tightly onto your comfort in the short term, but the more we resist being part of the collective solution, the less likely that collective solution is to happen. In a sense, you’re echoing a bit of this bunker mentality where we have these megawealthy people who are buying up land in New Zealand and wherever else trying to save themselves. That seems like such a sad way to see the world. Like, do you want to live in a bunker for a year eating canned rations? Is that the life we want to build? Or do we all try to make sure we have a world where there’s enough for everybody, where no one takes too much and we share what we have. I’d rather share.

Durian.

Texture of banana but with a huge seed. Tastes like a strange combination of rotten eggs, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, diced garlic, onions, cheese, and... caramel?

It's fucked. Never again.

To fascists, hypocrisy is a virtue:

https://hac.bard.edu/amor-mundi/hypocrisy-and-fascism-2018-08-12

They NEED to demonstrate their hypocrisy in order to signal to their supporters that the nasty shit they promise to do to The Other (immigrants, gays, whatever) won't be done to their supporters.

National will never do anything like this. Even weed. A total non-starter.

It is very rare to only get one term. So we're looking at another 6 years, minimum.

It's going to feel like forever 😉

New Star Wars Plan: Pentagon Rushes to Counter Threats in Orbit (www.nytimes.com)

The Pentagon is rushing to expand its capacity to wage war in space, convinced that rapid advances by China and Russia in space-based operations pose a growing threat to U.S. troops and other military assets on the ground and American satellites in orbit....

Remember, recently Russia vetoed a UN vote on stopping arms race in outer space.

A 3C temperature increase will cause “precipitous declines in output, capital and consumption that exceed 50% by 2100”

Remember this is a global average. There will be places with a 100% decline.

It might cost more overall but it will be different people paying that cost (taxpayers and poor, mostly) whereas if we took action now it would be the capitalists paying for it.

Tokelau - the first nation to be completely solar powered (youtu.be)

This documentary tells the story of 3 small atolls in the Pacific that overcame their isolation and dependence on diesel generators to become the first 100% solar powered nation in the world. It also gives a unique insight into their sharing-based way of life - their fishing and cooking traditions, education, religion and...

It is being worked on in a separate service - crowdin.com. I'll copy the data from there into PieFed when it's ready. 66% done so far.
