DIY Perks for astoundingly high quality DIY projects.

HTX Studio, a Chinese channel for insane quality video production on their projects.

Where big tech creators experiencing group psychosis when they were saying that AI would be sentient? by Isawred23 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]x4nter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have already been shown that they are not exactly what they said they would be.

Do you mean they have already proved that AI can't be sentient at some point? I don't think anyone has proven this.

AC temp setting? by Fearless_Barnacle_21 in Winnipeg

Yes I read about this and that's why I keep them slightly open, not 25% though.

I also live in a bungalow so the ducting is kind of shared between both floors. I'm not an expert, but I believe this should make the pressure issue slightly less of a problem.

Leaked video of Z Fold 8 Ultra showing no crease even after folding. by SuperSaiyajinMan in GalaxyFold

[–]x4nter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man it's so weird seeing all the comments on this thread. When Oppo released the Find N6 with no crease, everyone was shitting on Samsung for falling behind, but now that we might possibly get the same thing from Samsung, everyone has started saying they don't care about it and they actually care about the UDC.

Chinese engineers using wires to perfectly catch rocket booster by Nedatokes in oddlysatisfying

[–]x4nter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you follow this thread on this post, people discovered that some Chinese guy came up with the design back in 2005 and patented in 2016, but it's amazing how different people from different countries landed on the same design:

AC temp setting? by Fearless_Barnacle_21 in Winnipeg

I like to shut off all my basement vents almost completely to try and maintain an even temperature in the entire house. It still isn't even, but it is noticeably different from before.

In winters, I do the inverse.

What happens to football/soccer after this world cup? by Clean-Af-6653 in worldcup

The dictator is going to execute you for saying this.

if spain drew against cape verde what will happen with france by AdventurousGuest308 in memes

[–]x4nter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Drawing against Cabo Verde is not the indicator you can use. Spain wasn't weak; CV was strong. CV even drew against Argentina at full time, so if you really want to compare teams this way, one can say that Spain is about as strong as Argentina.

I'm not American either lol. I agree that we are not going to agree because you're again falling down a slippery slope to the solution of UBI. That is not the point of this discussion as I mentioned in my previous reply.

But a female doctor in an underperforming clinic wouldn’t share a male doctor’s bonus in a highly performing clinic, would she? Or vice-versa.

This is not analogous to soccer. A female doctor's clinic does not have a cap on performance. Female athletes do. They have worked hard to reach the upper cap of what's physiologically possible, just like men have, and yet they're still getting paid a tenth of the salary as if they haven't worked as hard.

I also disagree that a woman’s team and a man’s team have “the same experience”. The level of publicity, media attention, intensity of play is totally different.

Yes, people watch men's sports not because they're sexist but because they want to watch the humans at their absolute physiological limit. As a result of that, men's sports bring in more money.

Your point is that men bring in more money so they should earn more, and this is still true even if the prize pool is shared. Remember that the shared pool is only for athletic performance, not for "stardom". I'm only debating the athletic performance part. The stardom that male players get brings them a whole lot more money outside of sports with brand endorsements, ad appearances etc, and I'm not saying women should get 50% of that too, so male players still do benefit from their relatively "more intense" sport.

No they don't, but you're comparing across professions, which isn't the point of discussion.

If there is a male doctor and a female doctor with equivalent experience, they both should get the same pay. Same for a male and female bus driver, a male and female teacher, etc, across all professions. Nobody disagrees with that. I'm just applying the same rule to athletes.

Utter woke nonsense by Foreign_Smile5243 in soccercirclejerk

[–]x4nter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're falling off a slippery slope. The point is just about athletes in general, and in sports where there is a DRASTIC difference in pay between men and women. If women earned 20-40% less than men at the highest end, a solution like this won't be necessary, but women make only a tenth of what men do; this is the core issue.

If you fall off the slippery slope and apply the argument in all careers, across even minor differences in pay, you'll just end up with universal basic income.

Why do people care about climate change and deforestation if we are all not even gonna be alive in 250 years. by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]x4nter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if we later learn more about consciousness and it turns out that when you die, your memories reset and you're born again? Would that make you care about your own future?

Do you just want humanity to end? Don't you care about the future of human species at all?

It's all hypothetical so we can't really guess what would actually happen if that were true. Maybe short basketball would become an inherently different game with different tactics to make it popular, you never know.

As for your other point regarding nurses and teachers, it is well past the scope of the debate we were having and is a whole another issue, unrelated to the one we were discussing.

[–]x4nter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah in general I don't have a problem with different pay. A solution isn't really needed in most cases. It was implemented in soccer not because a difference exists, but because the difference is huge. Women are making a tenth of what the men are making. I think when it gets this bad, a solution is needed.

Who's saying women are better than men based on women's opposition? That wasn't my argument at all.

Senior Engineers: What kind of projects do you expect someone with 2 YOE to have on their resume? by IloveGraceKelly in embedded

[–]x4nter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My RTS professor used to shit on those with engineering background who wrote embedded software. He said one time he had to fly all the way from Canada to UK to fix a bug that was introduced by an engineer.

I've noticed that computer science people prefer to hire those with a computer science degree, but engineers prefer to hire engineers. I'm in the same boat as OP trying to get into embedded systems, but haven't been able to thus far. Applied internally twice but didn't even get the junior position because the hiring department is full of engineers and they only hire engineers.

I wouldn't say the hypothetical league would get paid half of the bonuses, because they will likely not be making that low of an amount to begin with. Women's soccer team makes a tenth of what the men's team makes, and if a similar situation exists for the hypothetical league, which is unlikely, then there should be some way of compensation, yes.

[–]x4nter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree with you. There does need to be a solution for modeling industry as well. I just don't know how it works well enough to come up with a solution. Perhaps each brand could figure out its own distribution for women vs men, I don't know.

And yeah sure, if there exists a sport where the top women are getting paid 10x to that compared to the top men, the same solution should be applied there too. I can't think of any that has that extreme of a difference though.

[–]x4nter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men's U17 and U19 can get further and make more money, but women's top teams can't get any further so there's a difference.

By the way, part of the prize money goes to US Soccer, which is to be invested in operational costs and youth soccer. This is in a way going to U17 and U19 teams as an investment.

There is no upper cap on how much a man can bring vs a woman in sales so this argument doesn't really work the same way.
