I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

Could you elaborate on

>Usually if it takes work to distinguish it's not worth it within a work environment.
Thanks for incorrectly assuming I didn't - it really shows your commitment to honest discussion, as does ignoring the fact that those were asides while the core of the post demonstrates the conflation I mentioned in every major section.

As to that one link, one study is not conclusive – animal studies are notoriously prone to unintended experimenter influences – and that's especially suspect when e.g. it claims innate color preferences for the pink/blue divide which has been biologically predetermined for about a century.

Again, I'm not saying there aren't differences or that they can't be significant, only that the research thus far doesn't support the sweeping claims being made.
> ...who lacks tact...

It's worth pointing out that "tact" is a cultural construct and highly subjective.

It's also worth pointing out that emotional arguments are generally better received than dispassionate ones. People tend to think emotionally at least as much as they reason, so sanitizing thoughts in the wrong way would neuter the position.
Thank you for sharing your story. Happened to me several times too. Once I received a rejection letter with 200 other candidates in CC list. We had a good conversation with each others.

I hope you're not just multiplying those percentages, because that would imply that 0% of the non-voters would have voted for trump if that had voted.

Point is, he got millions of people. One has to consider why. I think that the whole spectacle around political correctness and telling white people in lower social strata that they're inherently privileged resonated negatively with them and is one of the things that drove them into trump's arms. It's not a great sales pitch for diversity.
+1 for this question. Is it a day, a week, a month... Or longer?
Millennials returning to Puerto Rico, launching startups
Every point of knowledge has a degree of certainty or uncertainty around it. It certainly isn't a point that is taught well enough in education.

"The science is settled that the universe is about 13.8 billion years old" is a perfectly fair statement, for instance.
I agree that those who participate in a process like this shouldn't circumvent its rules -- that just makes the whole problem much more difficult to manage. However, I think you could just as easily argue that the process itself is scummy for requiring the job posting when a well-qualified candidate has already been identified.

Why is a candidate's country of citizenship the test for whether a role must be posted publicly before it can be filled? Wouldn't it be best for both the economy and the company if this rule were followed (without circumvention) for 100% of job openings? If your answer to that is "no," then why require it in any circumstance?
It is a good guess - because they are conscious (each species in their own way, of course). But many animals - if not all - do have a language! They are even capable of lying to one another - the art that, incidentally, humans have brought to perfection (and it is indeed in creating explanations where this art finds it biggest use).

That's only a part of it - I've plenty of US Citizen/GC only job postings with very similar jackassery.

Rude awakening -- you rarely get honest feedback about rejection.

Consider breakups. The Seinfeld classic "It's not you, it's me" is hilarious because it touches this truism.

Move on.
Block out ambient sensors and your antenna w/ foam to keep out the potting compound. You can also use a gore-vent on the ambient sensors to prolong lifespan. I would also suggest spending some time choosing your battery chemistry. It sounds like you will be freezing and thawing which can reduce the lifespan of lithium cells.
"On this planet, we don’t know what to do with people who don’t belong."

1. I think this is the real issue. I don't think this guy truly wanted to live alone.

2. I think there are a handful of people who want to live the life of a hermit, and that's fine. Today---it's practically illegial?

If Jesus reappeared, he would probally break a bunch of municipal laws the first day: 1. Loitering. 2. Not getting the right permit for the event(sermon). 3. "He isn't wearing underware!" Indecent exposure ticket. 4. Fishing in the wrong stream 5. Fishing without a license. 6. And another ticket for sleeping in the park. 7. "His crushed grapes must be hooch?" another ticket--maybe a visit by ATF?

My point is it's basically illegial to be without house, and money.

It's not right.

I knew some people who were between jobs, and they were harassed to no end. One guy committed suicide because of the harassment, actually just cops doing their jobs. We have way too many laws, and not enough help.
Without instant loss of identity, I would add. It is widely known how semipathological states are cause of character, mood, life style, etc. There is no strict line between 'you' and your body (and internal-external environment); cutting or hacking non-utility parts of it will change you in short period of time, compared to original, as it happens with less radical change of climate, country, job, gender, food.
I recall a character from a Neal Stephenson novel who killed themselves after their retina implant got hacked and they were shown non-stop advertisements even when sleeping.
> If men & women tend to be psychologically different, Google should be aware of that and change work practices to better accommodate women

I'd rephrase that more like:

"If we want diversity of thought and disposition, we should make room for diversity of work styles (pair programming, remote work, etc.). If the women-work-differently hypothesis has merit, it will help address the gender imbalance while making room for other kinds of excluded people."
The drive was that I don't believe the original question, "Can a living creature be as big as a galaxy" is reasonable for organisms we are familiar with. If we hope to answer such big hypothetical questions, we may need to find ourselves in foreign lands as well.
Trouble is at the end of the day we need food and shelter. Reading some really fascinating papers or code is great, and so are painting and playing guitar. Do all those things. But most everyone will have to work to live, and working a good job is easier with schooling, and you might meet this girl...

It seems like an artificial treadmill from afar, but IMO the underpinnings are fairly sound. You just have to find the flavor that suits you. Buying farmland and working in your fields 12 hours a day, is still an option :)
> the article did not mention that any unfair advantage was being given to women yet I've seen so many claim this

It does mention promotion preferences and special groups.

This will be amazing when we have some kind of tech that's fixed to the wall and can project all of it without having to hold an ipad in an awkward mix of crouching and standing up.
I'm accurately citing the popular vote win count, the percentages and the turnout, none of which you did.

Now if you think you somehow won a great victory, you didn't. And since from your writing it appears that you voted for Trump, yes, I and people like me think much less of you and people like you. If from the FA, this classifies as alienating conservatives then so be it.

I should add that as each day goes by it looks more and more like you and people like you won your great victory with the help of Putin. Y'all have a nice day.
>So there needs to be legislative and/or executive action for that approach, sure. But the underlying point is that the argument for evidence exclusion is a procedural one, which means that innovation on the incentives side of things (carrots or sticks) is entirely possible.

In the UK, these rights are merely statutory and exist at the discretion of Parliament (the doctrine of Parliamentary Sovereignty). If Parliament does not create an adequate enforcement mechanism, then that is its will and the legally legitimate outcome.

The rights guaranteed by the US Constitution, however, do not exist at the discretion of Congress. The courts will not allow the Fourth Amendment to become inoperative because Congress and the President fail to enforce it. On the other hand, Congress can and does create statutory rights through legislation, and is free to create as vigorous or as weak an enforcement mechanism for them as it wishes.
What a diversion. Theater for the masses. Lets take down that bad guy who made all his investors money. Lets also remind everyone he raised the price of a drug that no one ever had to pay for out of pocket.

In the mean time maybe everyone will forget how much money the banks are stealing and all the drug and Russian/Chinese money (10's of billions) they launder everyday.

Guy is going to prison for at least 2, just to show the masses that TPTB are looking out for us peeps.

What a scam....suppose he is a lot easier to hang then someone from GS or JPM.
That's a warning (~= assert()), not a segfault.
I really dislike when articles use words such as "prefer" in this way. It conveys a level of intentionality that is not truly present. It would be better to say "Why hexagons appear often in nature." Or "Why nature produces hexagons"

Otherwise, the descriptor is not just imprecise, it is also misleading.
Toy preferences are innate. I'm seriously struggling to understand how people can obviously realize that different breeds of dogs have different innate behavioral characteristics but somehow deny that humans (we're just another mammal!) can have the same kind of inherited characteristic patterns.

I.e. their opinion is not the only opinion on the matter.
A few years ago, I applied to work for Cisco, straight out of getting my Bachelor's in CS. I was extremely thankful that the hiring manager was up-front with me. She told me exactly what my lack of knowledge was, what I needed to work on, and wished me a good day. I came away from the experience feeling a little disappointed at the rejection, but ultimately encouraged and motivated to learn more about the subjects mentioned.
> That's only a problem if there's a shortage of people with applicable skills, which doesn't apply to the vast majority of businesses.

What makes you say this? The economy is at full employment right now. A lot of businesses are having a hard time finding employees with applicable skills. In the tech industry this is certainly true.
For ambitious people it's very likely. You apply for more senior or ambitious jobs. As a result your probability of success is less per application. There will be many near misses before landing an offer you choose to accept.
I've had recruiters call me up and say that my rèsumè looked perfect and they were looking for someone just like me, but five years younger -- and did I know anyone who was looking who fit that bill.

What I never figured out is how could someone have my exact skill set and knowledge and yet be five years younger -- they started hacking about with computers in 1982 when they were just ten years old?
a good rule of thumb is just to never make any comments about a female coworker's body. it's very easy to cross over to unprofessional territory and make someone feel uncomfortable or degraded. that's the rule I've followed my entire life.

Not killed, but certainly the victim of gossip, even smear campaigns and gang stalking. You're an ideal patsy to cover up some sociopath's schemes. "You may not be interested in war, but war is interestwd in you."
Were you interviewing for a position in which you'd regularly have to implement hash tables or red black trees (possibly with some novel twists) or other algorithms?

That's right on the money. So true.
Safari has navigator.webdriver, and others will soon follow. The idea was first introduced as a Fx bug, but hasn't gone any where.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1169290

There's a webdriver protocol mailing list with a long thread that describes how it should be implemented and how people could avoid it; ex. recompile without the feature. I just can't find it right this minute.
As somebody who's currently job searching, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way

I've even made it to a final interview where they flew me across the country, only to tell me that there's no funding for the position

I wish I could work as a hiring manager for a year just to see all the crazy stuff I've experienced from the other end
Ha. The Evolutionary Psychology wiki is probably a good start, but if you're skeptical of evolution I'm not confident anything I'd link would convince you.
Adding new features to software to run on yesterday's hardware is harder than running it on tomorrow's hardware. That's work that needs to be done - and its work that won't make Apple any new money. Choosing to do that optimization work is choosing to spend money on customers that aren't paying for the update.

And you'd rather not get security updates?
> There are pretty evident differences in that area you can see without any science.

Fortunate that these unnamed differences are so obvious as to not require scientific confirmation.
> Lets take down that bad guy who made all his investors money.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he take money from one set of investors to pay another set of investors. I haven't been following the story too closely.

If I invest in the stock market and make 10%, it's not ok for you to take 5% of my money to pay back your other investors even if everyone makes money.

Triplebyte doesn't interview for positions, they just interview.
>The idea is to tackle the issues collectively.

Indeed, this is the notion behind liberal politics, which have been soundly rejected by the public.

>It's just a matter of priorities.

The public couldn't be clearer that meeting basic needs for people who are unable to earn a living isn't a priority.

>What message do you think they were trying to send?

"Fuck the even poorer people who are changing my culture and taking my jobs."

>Are you an American?

Um, yes, the context of this thread is the San Francisco public library.

>What do you propose is done?

Make city life as attractive and cheap as possible to bring back the tax base from the suburbs; use the money to fund public housing and mental health services.

Continuing to degrade city life only drives away the resources that could be tapped for real solutions.
Whatever the context, keep writing. Emergent vocabularies must start somewhere
It's true but it's also an opportunity. Somebody is going to capitalize on this in one of those a recruiting as a service businesses and they are going to get outsized candidate flow because of how hungry people are for some actionable rejection feedback.
Did they actually say they wanted someone younger? In many countries that's illegal age discrimination.
>However I do think 'spergs' have a better knowledge of the rules than normies.

You're absolutely right. It's intuition for neurotypical people, it's just something they get. For aspies socialization is about learning all the hidden rules that come naturally to others. But I do admit that knowing the rules and applying them in real time is a very, very difficult thing to do. It gets exhausting quick, and if this was one of the reasons hermits decide to become hermits, I can empathise massively.
Nice. Sounds like quite interesting conversations.
In this context, '5 years younger' probably means something like '~five figures fewer'.
If you search 'solar tower' on youtube, you will see all kinds of videos of existing installations of things that are similar, albeit most are not as tall, nor are they flexible. But the basic concept appears to be the same. Quite a few of them are from many years ago. So it would seem the idea works to some extent, and perhaps the the idea of a much taller, and flexible variant is the crucial difference that will make a big difference.
As a counterpoint, lots of women have loved fantasy novels for a really long time. However, until recently, the vast majority of the authors were male, and it's still a majority. The result is that there is a lot of fantasy with badly written female characters who occupy damsel roles more often than hero roles. Said fantasy is nevertheless read by women for lack of options, but they'd like better fantasy with better female characters better.

It's not impossible for men to write good female characters, of course, it's just something that a man is less likely to be able to pull off, or to focus on.
I mean I don't even know what you're attacking.

> They should have more humility, and be more open to listening to the stories of people instead of just trying to think of things in terms of Numbers.

Throughout my entire career, which now approaches the close of its second decade, I have known exactly one person who might even possibly match this description. Last week, he filed the initial paperwork to declare his candidacy for the House seat in his district, whose longstanding incumbent is probably going for a Senate seat next year. He's running as a Democrat, and his entire platform revolves around improving social welfare by eliminating inefficiencies without cutting benefits rolls - indeed, while expanding them. He's advocating a tax-neutral, net-positive-payout plan for a universal basic income!

He's doomed, of course. Even in Maryland - even in Baltimore, he doesn't stand a chance, because he is a man of unusual personality who does not make friends easily or quickly inspire confidence in strangers. But I love him for trying. And I have no idea in the world what you're talking about with this "numbers over people" culture among people in our field and those adjacent. I don't doubt your observations, although I do find them wildly at odds with my own experience. But my own observations do not in any sense bear out your analysis that is culture arises specifically from "STEM-ness" of people instead of some other quality, and I'm not interested in abandoning my observations for your own, either.

Are you sure that your analysis of this phenomenon's origin is not wildly off base? Because, you know, I think maybe your analysis of this phenomenon's origin might be wildly off base.
Strange article. You can see that some of the statements about honeycombs in the first paragraph are wrong, just by looking at the first picture.
Just wait until they study underwear.
We have theories for why DNA makes men and women's bodies different, and how society can create power structures and discrimination.

But you claim we have no possible theory for how DNA could make men and women's minds different, or that society could create differences in how much genuine interest women have in tech?

We don't really know why some people are straight and some people are gay. Does this mean we deny that gay people exist? My father is gay and his identical twin is straight. How did this happen? According to Wikipedia, studies have shown this trend often enough to conclude that genetics alone can't explain sexuality. So do we just argue that there really is no difference between gay and straight people (ie. it's a choice), because we don't understand the precise reason for the difference?

Better video :-)
I'm semi-retired now, but 20+ years ago I was caught in a big internal political fight in IBM's Watson lab. Some long time managers were demoted out of management. A lot of people left. I was walked out the door.

My work was in expert systems. I was doing a lot of programming and won an award for some crucial programming work I did -- writing the code all night one night -- saving rule subroutines in our AI language. I published peer-reviewed papers in expert systems, applied math, and mathematical statistics.

I was and long had been good at programming and computer science, several operating systems, languages, many algorithms, lots of applied math software, etc. I'd taught computer science in ugrad school at Georgetown and in grad school at Ohio State University.

I sent 1000 resumes and got essentially nothing. My location was 70 miles north of Wall Street, and I was willing to move anywhere.

In wildly strong contrast, early in my career in software and applied math within 100 miles of the Washington Monument, once a sent a few resume copies and soon in two weeks I went on seven interviews and got five offers, all with nice raises. Soon I was making in annual salary six times what a new, high end Camaro cost.

IMHO, the idea that there is a lot of demand for people in computing, software, algorithms, etc. is just hype and hog wash.

But I'm still good at applied math and associated software so am doing a startup. I have to please my users and, thus, my advertisers, but no way do I have to please an HR assistant, an HR phone screen person, an HR interviewer, or a hiring manager.

I've typed in 100,000 lines of typing with 24,000 programming language statements (lots of internal documentation), nearly all in Visual Basic .NET with ADO.NET and ASP.NET. There is a redundantly reliable and scalable software and server farm architecture with a Web server, a Web session state server (instead of Redis, I wrote my own, just TCP/IP sockets, single threaded, using the TCP/IP queue as the queue of arriving work, object instance de/serialization, and two instances of a standard .NET collection class -- simple, fast, small, works great), two specialized compute servers with my original applied math. It all appears to run as intended. For production I don't like the log file approach I took based on what Microsoft has, so I intend to take my session state server, rip out the collection classes, put in a write to a file, and, presto, get a log server. The servers all communicate with just simple TCP/IP sockets.

I identified the problem, designed the Web site, designed the architecture, designed, wrote, debugged, timed, and documented the code, and got it all to appear to work. Alpha test in progress now.

I'm a native born US citizen, have held security clearances at least as high as Secret, have never been arrested, have never been charged with any crime except for minor traffic violations, am in excellent health (now for my age), but have to say that for the past 30 years I've been absolutely, positively, totally unemployable for anything having to do with computing.

A shortage of people in computing? What a really bad joke.
I was referring to when women were disallowed from law schools or bar associations. But there's a bit of nuance to the history of it. Women have been in court in different ways for a long time.
