I have seen it happen many times. A lot of developers I've worked with do not understand the basics of a HashMap/HashSet. They just use the IDE to automatically create hashCode functions with mutable attributes or use classes created by other people and do not check if the hashCode implementation is correct.

> Judging by the stats for how many men you find in early childhood education versus women, it's clear that society as a whole still shuttles women in that direction by some mechanism and men in another direction.

Or perhaps, women, in average, have a higher natural predisposition to take care of young children than men.

That would not be a surprise, since women get pregnant and, as far as I know, generally took care of children while men went out to hunt and fight.

Of course, nobody should be pressured to choose a profession based on a stereotype.

This is wrong. All stock prices are supply and demand. Dividends are simply taking money from one pocket, the company you own shares, and putting into another, your bank account.

What matters is that the company is capable of making cash and, ideally, of increasing that amount of cash with time. Dividends are just a capital allocation decision.

> Apple's products don't break down by themselves but Beats do.

Except the cables, which are terrible. I have two broken charger cables for a MacBook and a MacBook Pro, a thunderbolt cable from an Apple Thunderbolt Display, a Mac Pro power cord, an iPad charger cable and a couple of old wired earphones. All broken where the cables bend.

It is not disingenuous to think long term because of how growth compounds over time. Imagine average growth is 2% a year and we cap it to 1%. In 20 years the difference would be 48% vs 22% total growth, which may not sound bad. But in 200 years, it would be 5150% vs 632%, and it would only get larger.

You probably live a comfortable life and is mostly satisfied with what you have so you see no need for more growth. Now imagine someone had the means to implement this same idea 200 years ago. We probably wouldn't have water and sewage treatment, fast transportation, modern medicine, electric light and all the appliances that come with it, internet, etc. I find it disingenuous to dismiss all these as trinkets.

This would be basically limiting the possibilities of all future humans in the name of some "greater good". That is textbook evil for me.

I think the main problem with this kind of thinking is that it is always based on what you know now, and not on what is possible. The world we live today, our technology, and the way we use resources would be unimaginable 200 years ago. The same is true about our knowledge of what will be possible 200 years from now.

I'm not sure about ants, but with bees the males generally come from other colonies. A princess mating with males from the same colony may cause problems in the offspring.

In Brazil I got Fargo, Twin Peaks, and Legion on Netflix and Preacher on Amazon Prime Video.

Honest question, as I'm not familiar with swedish law. If a man consents to have sex with a woman that claims to be taking birth control pills and later he finds out she really wasn't, can she be accused of rape?

In Brazil, you can enable the same card you use to manage your bank account and withdraw cash as a Visa/Mastercard credit card. So every time you make a purchase you get a prompt like this

1. CREDITO

2. DEBITO

where you choose if you want to pay with credit or debit.

Last year I went to the UK on vacation. While paying my bills I noticed most people wouldn't know what to do when prompted. They would look confused and just hand me the card machine and let me handle it.
