Yep, the idea there is that representation matters. After Obama was elected, there was a whole spate of articles quoting young Black children, saying, "if he can do it, I can do it." A new world of possibility opened up to them, just because someone had done it.

When one of those recent Star Wars movies came out (I haven't seen any of them, so I might get the details wrong), and one of the leads was a Latino guy, I saw a few interviews with Latinx fans basically saying the same thing--"now I can see myself as the hero of the story".

Representation matters.

Yeah, I like wasting time as much as anyone else. It's still bad.

Good work interactions either happen better in offices, or are meetings.
As long as they're paid wages which are attractive to them, I don't see exactly what's wrong. Every modern society in the world has worked through child labour to the point that they can obsolete it. The prohibitions against it in the west came after most people didn't work as children anyway.

No, because people in industrialized nations have alternatives --either job-wise or welfare subsidies. People in third world countries don't have good alternatives --they are where we were 80-100 years ago, maybe more.
I love not having a cable bill. I get the free over-the-air channels on my channel-master DVR, and I've recently started listening to audiobooks on my iPad. The number of books and diversity of books is just amazing (and great for long flights and long drives too.) I guess I'm cheap, because I usually check audible's "daily deals" to find books for less than five dollars. So for less than a single cable bill, I have months worth of entertainment.

I would not go so far as to say they "prove" the negation of the biological argument, when there is so much evidence that points the other direction, and a practically infinte number of confounding variables are involved if all you're doing is pointing at a couple of countries like Iran and saying "look at that". So I don't actually think it brings doubt into anything.

Personally, I think it's very likely that if a large number of men and a large number of women were each given exactly equal opportunity to pursue whatever career they wished, more men would pursue tech than women. I haven't seen any data that contradicts this belief, but if I did I'd like to think I would change my mind. Of course, I have no idea what range we should expect the proportions to fall into. 51/49? 60/40? 90/10? Obviously this also means that I have no idea if the gender representation we see in tech currently accurately represents the population of people who would be interested in it, given the opportunity. But I think the weight of the evidence that we should expect more men than women in tech is much higher than the weight to the contrary. Not knowing the exact numbers simply means that we should focus our efforts on making sure everybody has equal opportunity to pursue whichever career interests them the most, as opposed to trying to reach some arbitrary numerical threshold. As long as all people are free to make their own choices, we shouldn't be concerned how the distributions turn out.
Mostly, in my experience, the struggles of working from home are precisely the opposite of that, in basically every way - people half-jokingly half-enviously chuckle about how many video games you're playing, because that's what THEY imagine they'd do if they worked from home, and they've never actually put themselves in the position to find out.

"To me, if you read it and are completely outraged or uniformly in favor, then you are part of the problem. If you can read anyone's opinion, spread out over 10 pages, and find nothing with which you agree, then you're almost certainly not thinking.

> Those are actual falsifiable statements. They can be either true or false. The whole idea of considering them as "viewpoints" is ridiculous and it's precisely what's the problem with the whole environment surrounding the discussion.

Stop it - you are being extraordinarily deceptive with statements like this. Did you actually read this memo? And I mean read it critically? Are these quotes falsifiable statements?

"These two differences in part explain why women relatively prefer jobs in social or artistic areas. More men may like coding because it requires systemizing and even within SWEs, comparatively more women work on front end, which deals with both people and aesthetics."

Didn't see a citation for that. Care to cite the evidence? Can we prove that this assertion is true or false?

"This may contribute to the higher levels of anxiety women report on Googlegeist and to the lower number of women in high stress jobs."

Would love to read your citation for anxiety leading to lower number of women in high stress jobs.

"Women on average look for more work-life balance while men have a higher drive for status on average
Unfortunately, as long as tech and leadership remain high status, lucrative careers, men may disproportionately want to be in them."

Again, I'd love to see some evidence showing that the desire for work life balance is the reason that men disproportionately in leadership positions in tech.

Stop pretending that just because the author has sources that his conclusions are supported. His argument was poor. Anyone with reasonable reading comprehension could see that, politics be damned.

I'm pretty much a regular biker and have lots of friends who are also cycling (mountainbike as well as road bike). Some years ago the opinion about ebikes was really somewhat negative. But I felt that this has changed, and ebikes are now mostly seen as something positive.

I personally think they are a great alternative for commuting. E.g. they allow for making a boring 20km single-way commute without getting exhausted, and saving the energy for any other activity/sports which might be more interesting for their user. They also make cycling more accessible for older and handicapped users. All those factors reduce the usage of cars where they are not really needed, which is a good thing.

There are still some fears around ebikes in the mountainbike community. E.g. that they make hard trails high up in the mountain too easily accessible for people without the required fitness and cycling skills. Which could cause them problems for getting down again without crashes. Another fear is that the increased trail usage and speed through ebikes might cause these to wear out faster.

>a 2013 study shows that both girls and boys prefer dolls at 5 months

Might as well just measure what toys they prefer when they come out of the womb. No shit a five month old has no idea what a truck or a doll is. But by the age of four they will definitely prefer trucks as expected.

>You're pointing to biological differences and saying that must explain observed occupational differences, without providing any theory of causation.

I did provide a theory (things vs people), but it's not really necessary. The original comment suggested that there were no personality or behavioral differences between men and women. This is a ridiculous claim. I have showed there are huge differences between the preferences of men and women.

Why would we expect two different groups with (statistically) different personalities and interests to make exactly the same career choices? I can't necessarily predict which factors are the most relevant, or which traits correlate with which careers and how strongly. Those are specifics. But I would be completely shocked if the correlation between mental and personality traits and career choice is absolutely zero. And if they aren't zero, that will necessarily imply a difference between the genders.

The alternative theory is that "it's all cultural". This theory also makes no specific predictions. No matter what outcome is observed, you can blame it on culture. You can invent a just-so story about how mathematicians are less sexist than programmers or something. It doesn't require or present any evidence. It isn't falsifiable. If one cultural factor is ruled out (e.g. discrimination), you can always make another and shove it in (e.g. "role models".)

If you show evidence that one cultural explanation can't possibly be correct, they just move onto another. E.g. showing that there are the same percentage of female tech workers as female computer science graduates. So they move onto blaming sexism in universities. So you show there are the same percentage of girls interested in computer science in high school. And then the theory moves onto blaming parents for discouraging girls from computers... or something. And I can't think of any possible experiment that could test that and prove it false. So they say "aha, gotcha! It was culture all along!" as if they've proved something.

>E.g. hypothesizing women prefer teaching because it's a "nurturing" profession, while ignoring societies that don't view it as a nurturing profession at all, where teaching is male dominated

The link I posted sort of addressed this. In less egalitarian cultures it's possible differences are more cultural. E.g. Indians straight up discriminate against female teachers and don't even make it an option. Or Indian parents forcing their girls to learn computer science because they see it as a way out of poverty. But as cultures become more egalitarian, gender differences will become more determined by biology. The west generally gives children a lot more freedom to choose their career and doesn't discriminate by sex. So gender preference will become a lot more important in such a society.

> Apple has insisted in presentations to the city of Cupertino that the open floor plan designs are conducive to collaboration between teams

Oh, please. A trip to Wikipedia would have told you that[1]:

> A systematic survey of research upon the effects of open-plan offices found […] high levels of noise, stress, conflict, high blood pressure and a high staff turnover. The noise level in open-plan offices greatly reduces productivity, which drops to one third relative to what it would be in quiet rooms.

> Open-plan offices have frequently been found to reduce the confidential or private conversations which employees engage in, and to reduce job satisfaction, concentration and performance, whilst increasing auditory and visual distractions.

Further, open office plans spread disease more readily[2]:

> elevated risks [for disease] were found among employees in all three traditional open-plan offices

An open office floor plan robs you of the ability to control the noise level in the environment. There is literally no way for me to convince enough of my coworkers that they should:

* Either take their phone with them, or silence it if leaving it at your desk.

* Stop having meetings in the aisle immediately next to my desk.

* If you're going to video conference in the meeting rooms, and have the other end at full volume, close the damn door. If you don't know enough about video conferencing to understand what a feedback loop is, and want to spend the first 10 minutes of the meeting generating them, close the damn door. Stop looking at me like I'm rude when I close the door for you.¹

Calling people out gets a typical "oh, sorry", but not an actual change in behavior.

Maybe it encourages me to talk to the team nearby. Maybe. But is it worth the losses? No. (The team next to me is sales. They're not bad people, but they are fairly noisy. (And I'm sure they'd say the same of us, in fact!))

Thank you! Made my day. History is amazing.
IMO, a lot of these vanity TLDs are stupid and harmful to the web.

macOS has been using .app as its application extension for decades. Now when you want to search for a specific app on the browser you'll have to be more careful.

The fact that they allowed .dev, which is a fairly common TLD for development, is pretty unbelievable.

I haven't seen any evidence that by allowing companies to register these TLDs we've brought forth some kind of improvement or benefit to users.

There's a recent issue with TLDs that makes me particularly angry. There's ongoing work on this homenet spec. Originally it proposed using .home to route exclusively within the local network. But since .home is already used by a large number of people for private purposes, they changed it to .home.arpa. How the heck have we gotten to the point where we can justify allowing .google as a TLD, but we can't reserve something nice and short for non-companies?
Yeah, this guy who lost his job has already gotten new offers. This is even considering that this whole incident brought to light the fact that he lied about getting a PhD from Harvard, which is itself grounds for firing the guy.
We automatically exclude anyone who has a string of positions they've kept for only a year or less. If someone can't show that they stay at least two years then it's not worth it to us to bother bringing them up to speed on our code base.

As you say, there can be exceptions, but it's generally a big red flag and a sign that someone is overpaid and arrogant to boot.
We can agree that someone is a dick but still seek to address valid concerns.

Electric cars are the real world example of loose coupling. Once your car is electric the source of the electricity can change (from Coal -> Gas -> Solar) and you don't have to change your car even slightly.

So it doesn't matter about any of the arguments about whether an electric car is more efficient or not when the electricity comes from coal.

What matters is that having electric cars enables us to move to a future of solar and wind and not notice the difference.

Plus having electric cars that don't pollute in cities where there are lots of people and generating the electricity with coal fired powerstations outside of cities where there are less people has immediate benefits.

The person I was responding to stated that a company should fire an employee if other employees don't want to work with him. If we accept offense as the metric by which we decide whether someone should be fired or not, then you bite the bullet and accept the consequences of applying that principle uniformly.

You seem to be taking the perspective that evil people must be fired, and other people shouldn't. Which may be defensible, but off-topic to this particular thread.
A few years ago I was working on some bank software. We had access to bank's anonymized data, and I was really surprised when figured out what information is stored with card payments. For instance, I learnt that a guy had bought a pack of cigarettes in a small town at 12:31, Monday. Then I realized how much information a bank may posses. And how dangerous it is, because we have no control on how and who process that info.

That day I decided to pay with cash whenever I can, despite inconvenience. I prefer cards or bank transfers when buying expansive stuff, like a car, furniture, a camera, etc.
I noticed that, too. I think the angles are such that it wouldn't be visible from this perspective. The steps are there. (Although I could swear there's another set of steps just across from the "Urbo" entrance. May have to take a detour down there tomorrow to satisfy my curiosity.)
