Why There Are No Girls In San Francisco: #31 The 6s/7s Who Think They're 9s - http://whytherearenogirls.blogspot.com/2009...

"Just Missing******* is not right or wrong in any moral sense but it is impossibly awkward. The paradigmatic example is the guy who is handsome, clever, and well-built but, at the same time, 5 foot 7. Every grad school class or large corporate office has one of these dudes. He is secretly obsessed with his looks and all the cute girls platonically flirt with (but never date) him and even though he is vaguely cool and caddish he somehow doesn't seem to have any close friends and deep down you suspect he is miserable."

This is funny, but does this describe (even in colorfully exaggerated form) the world anyone lives in? The stereotyped barstool dating scene always seems like a foreign country to me, possibly because I'm in a local evaporation pool of hypernerddom. I'm never sure just how mainstream the mainstream is -- nobody I know lives like that, but you see crowds of dudes and dolls spilling out of bars who are clearly unlike anyone I know.

Oy. That made my head hurt and yet there's a little bit of truth in it...and I'm saying this as an LA girl. I have too many female friends who have fled SD or LA for SF because, as they say, "Real women" are appreciated in SF. Apparently, San Diego women are all athletic blonds and Los Angeles women are all waifish brunettes and in San Francisco they have a fighting chance. One woman...

- Admiral Anika
Also, I think that a lot of SF-based women are a little too eager to beat you over the head with their education. We get it. You're smart. But what's unattractive in ANYONE is someone who talks like a freshman philosophy major. Broaden your horizons. On the flip, too many women in LA tend to play dumb. Why? Because a lot of the dudes here *are* dumb. The smart ones tend to move to SF. LOL
- Admiral Anika
There was no appreciable difference in dating success for me when I was in LA vs. in SF. It sucked in both places.
- Spidra Webster
You know...it also saddens me when women who lived in SF move to LA and you watch them become airheads over time. It's like they lose all their interestingness. I wonder why that happens.

#fact The male to female ratio is so unfair (female advantage) there is an influx of big headed females with crappy attitudes for no other reason other than they get hit on. I repeatedly tell my gfs to get out of the Bay Area bubble for reality checks. Perhaps then, those crappy girls will learn to appreciate the Bay Arean single males. Frankly, I feel bad for them. :\
- Mona Nomura
Huh. I've heard that the ratio skews heavy towards males in Silicon Valley but the other way in SF itself.

... I guess not. http://www.creativeclass.com/creativ...

I was just in SF in Sept., and it was still 10 dudes to one female. Put it this way: if you are female in an establishment with alcohol and males, you will be hit on at least once. At least.

@Mona, It sounds like you were in The Castro?
- j1m
Mona, I never had that experience, even when I was younger and svelte. :( Guys often say women have all the power...just wanna say that it never felt that way to me. Mona, I think you have this experience because you are a beautiful woman. (You have other great qualities as well, but beauty is what guys in bars focus on.)
- Spidra Webster
The Bay Area is the biggest ego boosting area to be in, if you are female and single because of the male to female imbalance - that's my rationale and I'm sticking to that!

Frank Rich - Tiger Woods, Person of the Year - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
"This much we can agree upon: The person of the year is not Ben Bernanke, no matter how insistently Time magazine tries to hype him into its pantheon. The Fed chairman was just as big a schnook as every other magical thinker in Washington and on Wall Street who believed that housing prices would go up in perpetuity to support an economy leveraged past the hilt. Unlike most of the others, it was Bernanke’s job to be ahead of the curve. Yet as recently as June of last year he could be found minimizing the possibility of a substantial economic downturn."

France to Digitize Its Own Literary Works - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
Joel Webber liked this
I fail to understand how anyone digitizing French works *undermines* French culture. If anything it seems like the opposite to me. I for one would love to have access to such works through Google or any other digital service -- it's a pain in the ass to find them in the US, and you end up ordering them from Europe and having them shipped to the US.
- Joel Webber
Yes, it's all very puzzling. Apparently this is from people who've never tried to find reading material when they're out of the country? btw, how is Google Books on French stuff?
- j1m
" the French Ministry of Culture wrote that the plan did not conform either to “intellectual property law or to competition law and constitutes a threat to cultural diversity.” -- Umm, what? How is digitization a threat to cultural diversity? if anything, giving anyone in the world instant access to cultural works at their fingertips *preserves* culture vs locking it up in some hidden archives or museum basement
- Ray Cromwell
@jim: The French coverage isn't terrible, but kind of spotty. I'm guessing it's whatever Google found in US libraries (though I could be wrong). For me the irony in all this is that I bet Google would be quite happy to digitize any books the French gov't wants digitized -- except that continental European copyright law is a monstrosity that makes English/American copyright look laissez faire by comparison :(

State of the Art - Barnes and Noble’s Nook Reader Fails to Live Up to Promises - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
Aaron D'Souza, Joel Webber and Ryan Moulton liked this
"Even though it’s exactly the same E Ink technology that the Kindle and Sony Readers use, the Nook’s screen is achingly slower than the Kindle’s. It takes nearly three seconds to turn a page — three times longer than the Kindle — which is really disruptive if you’re in midsentence. Often, you tap some button on the color strip — and nothing happens. You wait for the Nook to respond, but there’s no progress bar, no hourglass, no indication that the Nook “heard” you. So you tap again — but now you’ve just triggered a second command that you didn’t want."

Wow, harsh. Pogue systematically extinguishes every last bit of anticipation you might feel about using this thing. Then he goes on to slam it for being slow and buggy. Then, for balance, he concludes with additional reasons why Kindle is better.
- Doug Beeferman
How incredibly disappointing. The worst is this: "Furthermore, the book is gone from your own Nook during the loan period (a maximum of two weeks). And each book can be lent only once, ever." Do publishers seriously think that book lending among friends is such a great threat that they feel they must hamstring such an important feature? My wife and I read a lot of the same books, and the requirement to buy a book twice to do this is completely absurd.
- Joel Webber
I was actually quite excited about the lending feature, until I found out how badly crippled it really was. Another example of marketing getting ahead of engineering?
- Aaron D'Souza

Glad I read this.
- Ryan Moulton
I was disturbed by reading this review, but have been enjoying my nook since it arrived yesterday. I've been interacting with it and have also read a book chapter, and am not bothered by sluggishness. There might be two reasons: 1) Never having owned a Kindle, I don't have any expectations that are violated, or 2) There was some software problem with the version Pogue tested that has since been fixed.
- Ruchira S. Datta
About the lending feature, I was well aware of this before I made the decision to buy, it was quite clearly stated by B&N. I give credit to B&N for getting even this much from the publishers, that must have been quite difficult to negotiate.
- Ruchira S. Datta
If it were anywhere close to what Pogue describes I think it would have started bothering me in the time I've spent with it, so I'm leaning toward explanation 2. Pogue must have gotten a bum version to review, which is very unfortunate.

The Science Credibility Bubble - http://science.slashdot.org/story...
Tristan Hambling, Meryn Stol, Ruchira S. Datta and Eric Logan liked this
Scientists have pretended for years that science isn't political, when Kuhn showed how political the big issues are. Just recently on FF there was someone dissing The Postmodern Condition too. Now the chickens are coming home to roost. And folks like Dawkins are urging them to roost more quickly. Strange world.
- Daniel Dulitz
People should be evaluating evidence, not authority. Scientists are political and venal and corrupt and fallible in all the other ways people are -- but reproducible data is how we can pursue knowledge regardless. The media never gets this, though -- it's always a battle of authority.
- ⓞnor

++ nor... There are a couple of scientists that I work with who are always signaling authority back and forth to each other. It took me the longest time to figure out what they were doing. Turns out, at least one of them does not produce that much data
- Clare Dibble
I think Kuhn showed convincingly that what counts as data depends on the theory/paradigm in use. So which one to use is not simply a matter of what fits the data best. Case in point: are ice cores data? Well you have to adjust them. Some are different than others. It's Ptolemy vs. Copernicus all over again.
- Daniel Dulitz
from Android
Unfortunately, the "authority" component is embedded in every aspect of science, whether in academia (What? You don't even have tenure?) or the private sector. Ironically, those with the greatest authority vis-a-vis such arenas tend also to be the ones doing the least actual research themselves.
- Mark "DerBingle" J
The so-called "climategate" didn't really do anything to damage the credibility of science - not in the sense that science is somehow less credible/trustworthy now. It has caused many in the general public to be less credible of science though, yes. There is a sustained attack on science from industries to avoid regulation and maintain profits despite the harm they do. There's an excellent book that demonstrates this called Doubt is Their Product.
- Tanath
One thing scientists learn is that authority is unreliable. Everything needs checking (hence peer review, verifying results, etc.). Many people cite the opinions of scientists as authoritative, but it's the science that matters. It's all about the evidence, and that's what science is about.
- Tanath
The most pressing issues don't afford the opportunity to wait for certainty before making recommendations, yet that is what the political process holds up as a standard. Risk-taking in politics is a rarity indeed, and becoming more so. Anti-science/anti-intellectual factions find their certainty in sources that can't be challenged by a rational argument.

- Mark "DerBingle" J
The current state of academic publishing does have some quirks. Most journals want you to provide not just data, but also some sort of theory, and you are supposed to act pretty convinced of your theory. However, in the big picture, we gradually begin to see a picture emerge, and scientists have to be willing to change the theories based on new evidence. To quote Clare Dibble: "Most of what we believe is wrong, but only in the details"

Melanie: Wherever you agree that some ostensibly religion-motivated sentiment or deed is egregious, you're never willing to attribute it to religion. It's always "but that's not *real* Christianity." This is a very common dodge among apologists, and all too convenient.
- Christopher A Carr
Christopher, It's no dodge. Jesus made it quite clear scripturally that He would not "recognize" anyone who did not live as He taught them to. It actually comes down to a choice of celebrity with Him or celebrity with the world. The question of who you belong to really is quite basic with Him. Indulgence is the dissonance of real mercy. One of them leads to where few would admit going and the other the only path to where one would hope to go.

Just because some text is ambiguous or vague, doesn't mean that the information it conveys (if any) is profound. I was unable to unpack your last two sentences. Does Jesus have something against clarity?
