Yes. I suppose because of chauvinism, but I would like to understand it at a deeper level - why do men become like that? I suppose society is geared to push them in that direction?
Fascinating graph! Keeping in mind that this is probably way, way flawed methodology, I still wonder why men seem to lean so much more conservative or right-wing than women.
I’m thinking real hard about engaging in electoralism again because of this. I live near some cities that would be perfect for these kinds of campaigns.
I've been thinking for a while now about how the greatest return for my investment of any political energy I have left (after donating time and money to Bernie's presidential campaigns) would be to try to get my city to adopt ranked-choice voting (or even allow it as a first step). The way I look at it, a socialist (or any less-than-mainstream) candidate has a major uphill battle in any city or state with traditional first past the post voting, because that system practically forces people to vote for the dreaded "lesser of two evils".

I'm inclined to think that your IP provides powerful cross-reference potential. Imagine someone either buys the data off of all data brokers out there or a law enforcement agency obtains similar kind of data through warrants, etc. They can cross-reference IPs and time-stamps and determine, that you, Joe Blow, age 35, who works at X, volunteers at Y, and lives at 123 main street, browse for some kind of very embarrassing porn every night. It's a drastic example to illustrate the idea, but I don't think it's far-fetched.
This could be taken further by imagining a wider net: say, a large portion of people who have donated to this political candidate or who work for this company browse for that same embarrassing porn every night.
I'm thinking birds-eye view of potential privacy violations here.
Cool to see a Linux smartphone, but holy moly, what a terrible name!
In general, it seems like there's a major trend in design of form beating the heck out of function. It looks pretty! Who cares if you can actually use it or not?
Heads up, Microsoft has stated that they do not support machines that don't meet requirements and that those machines may stop receiving security updates at any time.
