All languages covey information at a similar rate when spoken (39bits/s). Languages that are spoken faster have less information density per syllable! One of the coolest results in linguistics.

Self-doubt stops too many women from applying for jobs. After clearing the bar for expert-level work, 92% of men applied—but only 50% of women did. It shouldn't matter whether you feel qualified. That's for the employer to judge. If you're interested, put your hat in the ring.
