Agreed. I'm not a chess player, but I view it as an intellectual sport or challenge. There's no reason not to eliminate all gender specific separation IMO.

I think it's fun to see people in competition and achievements where we don't have to care about the person's physical attributes.

When I first read it, the thought that came to mind was how stupid it is in this age to do anything that is restricted by gender when the rest of the world is trying to eliminate that.

Once I read the part about the feelings, emotion, and experience the restriction brought was the actual art and not just the paintings, that's when I thought it was clever. The definition of art seems to be ambiguous now, but I understand what she's trying to to do and it's still a clever in that it illicits an effect whether you wanted to visit the museum or not.

I think people say they understand or empathize, but don't really know what it means in a specific context until they experience it IMO.

Since someone else brought up superapps, do they seem like an initial attempt to get around the manufacturer's app store lock-in?

Super apps allow adding mini apps. Seems like an app store.

The goog/apple app stores are already saturated by malware, I can't imagine some mini app store would do better. Even if the big two did do a better job, how would they go about vetting all the code these super apps might have access to?

I guess I'm too jaded, but it seems like just another malware loader you intentionally install.

Am I being too hard on the concept? Are there any really good ones you've used?

they can't be used

Right, by anyone except the US.

Just that one time. And then that one other time. But that's it...

I find it understandable, but a bit ironic that we lead anti proliferation efforts.

Thanks for sharing this.

@jerry thanks for all you do and the FAQ. Enjoyed them.

That's because high schools have been teaching that trades are for losers and college is for successful people for about 20+ years.

Mike Rowe comes to mind.

Holy shit, I can make that kind of money for driving like a maniac while wearing brown daisy dukes? I picked wrong...

Edit, I also think any task that can be automated with sensors, robotics, and programming is a risk.

Probably will be lots of robot repair and automation engineers though...

So well said, up vote wasn't enough.

I attended three different institutions at various points of my life and still didn't see some of the soft skills and basic business etiquette taught. I see young career people come into business with no idea how to attend meetings, answer phones, deal with expectations, etc. I'm not saying those can't be learned on the job and added on top of an education that was meant to empower people to learn things on their own, but when they're also tens of thousands in dept and can't do basic professional tasks, makes me question what right looks like.

how to make computer people care about everything else as much as they care about computers

For me, you can't. 😆
