Who is saying that the analogously named models are equivalent the analogs themselves? Analogous terminology and metaphors exist so that people can ease themselves into a deeper understanding of a subject. I agree that some people can incorrectly draw grand conclusions from a simple name, but that doesn't mean the people who use these "things" with these "names" only understand their mechanisms on a superficial level. Seriously, good luck explaining any model without introducing an analog that we, as humans, can relate with.

Sony MDRV6 (or MDR7506; both have equivalent parts). You can find a pair in nearly every studio.

I've never seen emergence "used as an explanation in its own right." I also don't understand why you would feel foolish after reading this.

Probably around the time Microsoft proposed this deal.

The examples in that blog post are discriminatory, and if I were her, I'd be very pissed off. However, the coworkers' comments were directed at her specifically.

In this case, it's some men saying they like to stare at boobs. It's not saying women are bad programmers, and it certainly doesn't seem like they're trying to say "men are better than women." If anything, it's saying, "We're dumb males. We like to look at boobs. We made a stupid app to look at more boobs."

What bothers me is that, as I read some of these comments, I don't see outraged women but rather a bunch of white knights. This is not a big deal; in this particular case, "lighten up."

I didn't have an HN identity. I felt like this might be an interesting discussion, so I created an account.

Is it a big secret that men like to look at boobs? I'd like to meet the women who were so offended by such an obvious joke. In the entire circle of women I know, I really can't think of one who wouldn't recognize the playfulness of the idea (and not take it seriously).

If a female made an app that included men's butts, would people have the same reaction?

Are people actually outraged? Since when did hacker culture take such a large turn toward political correctness?
