> Women indeed are, on the average, more neurotic than men. It’s not an insult, it’s a common term in psychology. Women are also, on the average, more interested in people than in things. They do, on the average, value work-life balance more, react differently to stress, compete by other rules. And so on.

Here's the problem. These studies model the status quo, not the way things would be if women weren't subjected to different historical and social pressures. I would venture that the profile distribution of women in tech is perhaps different than the population wide distribution. Imagine a world where women weren't told they are naturally good/bad at things, now project that forward 50 years and redo the study.

This is my chief problem with the memo, and the fact that he launches into IQ, the talking point of the prejudiced everywhere.
Try Feem v4 (http://www.feem.io)
The thing about pointing at the 5 factor psych model then applying it to something like gender disparity in tech, is that it's a pretty big leap to take scores from research studies to then draw conclusions about gender disparities in a given profession. Especially because at the core, it's very difficult to disentangle gender differences in psychological traits from learned social behaviors.

You bring up a lot of questions about what effects predispositions have in this case and that is exactly why it creates problems when people take findings on predispositions and run with them.

> fair to say that black people are better at athleticism/running

Is it fair though? Is it supported by metrics of muscle strength and length etc? And does it take into account the differences between blacks (Africans?), west vs south vs central (pygmies!).

Also, there's the possibility that whites of equivalent athleticism find better options for their life than being a professional sportsmen, the bottom 80% [1] of whom end their career at 30 with little to show for it but lifelong injuries.

Why would a "link" be interesting or relevant? My point that modern pop-music is extremely generic stands/falls whether I have "tracks" or not.

It's hard to deny that modern pop-music is to an extremely good approximation all in the 4/4 time signature for example,
so to an extremely good approximation all modern pop-music has less rhythmic variety e.g. many/most single classical pieces.
Do a bit shift after that.

When the first UK motorway, the M1, opened it had no speed limit.

When the speed limit was introduced, in 1965, it was originally a temporary measure to reduce excessive fuel consumption.

The non-motorway speed limit was again reduced in 1974 for the same reason [1].

(Sorry I can't find a citation for the introduction of the first motorway speed limits off hand).

>That experiment was done in STEM academia recently, and showed a 2:1 hiring advantage for women.

Back when I was still at university I was on a hiring panel for a new prof.

In a first step we ranked all the applicants using qualitative and quantitative metrics (the rankings across qualitative/quantitative and people on the panel was very similar when we compared rankings at the end) and then we handed in a shortlist with the best male applicant and best female applicant. We did this to make the Gleichstellungsbeauftragte (="diversity officer") shut up and thought that since the ability gap was really noticeable it'd be a no contest. How wrong we were. Despite being in the upper part of the bottom half of our ranking, she got the job.

That was the day I found out that I wasn't at a meritocratic institution as I had previously thought and left a few months later. That sort of thing really isn't good for your self confidence.

As I understand it, this is a misrepresentation. He did not say they were biologically unsuited for it. If I could rephrase in my own words, I'd say that the evidence shows that people who tend to be good at both language and the sciences will lean towards more social career paths. Women are unlike men in that they tend to be good at both where men tend to be lopsided: e.g. much better at math than English, say. This is not saying that women are unsuited for science. Quite the opposite. It is saying that women who are suited for STEM are more likely to also be well suited to more social endeavors, and thus less likely to choose STEM than the typical man who is well suited for STEM. The memo, I think, was essentially saying: "Thus if we want to attract more women to engineering, we need to appeal to the non-STEM side of the spectrum."

When people treat the topic with the same sort of dry, academic interest that is now used for discussions like, "What was the most popular card game in 1850?"

Things change. E.g., there were many "important" theological and political questions in the middle ages that now seem impossibly distant, almost meaningless.

Gender is already becoming less meaningful. Maybe it will never become meaningless, but at the very least we can take it from "primary determinant of social status, acceptable behavior, allowed work, and economic outcome" to "about like eye color".
Youtube's UX drives me crazy, especially on mobile. They really need to reach this next level of responsive where the length of a video is considered just as screen size has been in the past.

"...internet access and freedom is curtailed: popular sites like Google, Facebook and YouTube are not accessible."

That line caught my attention for two things.

One, it intimates internet access is related to freedom, which I think has merit.

And second, Google, Facebook, and YouTube are obviously not essential, cause those millions get by just fine without them.
I am sorry if I come across as a liberal who gets offended, but I completely support the decision of Google to fire him. In fact, I think that Google had no other choice than to fire him, and that's mostly because the engineer shot himself in the foot.

Memos are not meant to express debatable personal arguments, memos are meant to express a company position. By widely spreading a personal view, the author impersonated the company in a way that the company does not endorse. As a culture manager, you just cannot let this kind of things happen.

Regarding the content of the "manifesto", the author should have known better. Even if it was genuinely true that women's biology explains the gender gap in technology, it is not provable - as in, there is simply no way to quantify the effect, if any. And using unprovable causes to justify a societal bias is not acceptable. The problem is that you can use unprovable statements to justify anything.

The debate regarding whether it is good or not to intervene at company level to try and change an industry culture is a perfectly healthy debate. Widely sharing one's view which uses unprovable arguments and that will offense some people is simply a dumb thing to do.

That is a controversial point and depends on your concept of art. There are conceptions of art where novelty is an integral part of the very definition of artwork.

I agree that pop-music is precisely about creating "feeling and atmosphere", but I would extend it by saying: "easily, quicly and widely accessible shared feeling and atmosphere". And it is precisely this requirement of easy/quick access to the shared feeling and atmosphere that makes it important for pop-music to be conventional, to be repetition of previous pop-music. Surprise is anti-thetical to the purpose of pop-music.

Pop-music is acoustic wall-paper that is intended reliably to create a certain atmosphere.

You can gauge the conventional nature of pop-music from the fact that you can reliably determine the genre (e.g. House/Techno, Rap, Metal, Folk etc) by sub-1-second snippets. All successful genres have signature sounds for enabling quick identification. You can think of this as an aural version of branding. This is very well-known by professional producers, musicians and music marketing.
Yeah and maybe what needs to happen is people need to talk more about how 'the line' is moving so people can understand better where people are coming from.

I agree that labeling people as racist or sexist for being caught out by shifting norms is not productive, but at the same time people need to put effort into empathizing with others and educating themselves.

There are jokes I would've made 10 years ago I wouldn't make now. There are comments from others that might not have set off any alarms before, but now I know more about why they might be exclusionary or hurtful. Ultimately it's a process.

Which is why maybe a guy like Damore shouldn't be made to run the internet pitchfork and torch gauntlet for what he did. Maybe it could've been a teachable moment instead of a firing. But the other side of that is that I don't know if there were other components to his firing that we haven't heard yet.
I'd argue that at this point, if you're building a desktop application, one of your goals is probably going to be the use of native widgets, which could be for e.g. accessibility concerns. Else you might as well build a web application.

VimFx is not compatible with multiprocess, it will stop working soon.

- You can use the current VimFx for the rest of 2017.
- Then, Vimium is your best bet: philc/vimium#2425
- VimFx is free software, so if somebody feels like converting it to a WebExtension they're totally free to do so! (But you're probably going to spend your time more wisely on Vimium.)
- I hope to create a new add-on with the best parts from VimFx some day.

These are perhaps best seen as two different things. Anonymizing applications will prevent discrimination/prejudice. This is objectively a good thing. It's not controversial in any way.

An active diversity goal in hiring must go one step further and mean you see diversity of the group as a goal in itself - which, as he says, often means you some times hire a less strong individual.

This is the controversial part. But let's remember that the goal of recruiting is not to hire the strongest candidate but to make the company successful. If you buy into the argument that diversity has a value, such as that a diverse company is better at making products for a diverse audience, or that diversity creates a better work environment and therefore higher productivity - then hiring a female candidate over a better make one can make sense.
That's only assuming they are competing at the same time. An average of timed trials across a pre-defined route (like TDF) would allow you to present a similar challenge to both the human & the automated motor cycle.

I used WindowMaker in the late 90s on Redhat 5.0. At the time it was the most Windows-like environment (e.g. icons could be added using the GUI instead of editing a config file) I had access to on Linux, and that similarity made it more usable to me that FLWM or whatever came with Redhat. The dock and applets were what kept me using it even after KDE and Gnome came out. Off and on I'd try it, but the progress seemed extremely slow.

"Until the late 1980s, as many as 32 subspecies were recorded; genetic study of mitochondrial DNA[35] found many of these are too similar to be recognized as distinct at a molecular level. Following the research, the canonical Mammal Species of the World (3rd ed.) recognizes six subspecies, five of which are solely found in Latin America" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cougar#Subspecies

There is a continuous question of if a given "species" is really a distinct species, and thus protected under the Endangered Species Act, or if it's a subspecies or hybrid. There is political pressure to lump, because of the cost of protecting a species. Some examples of lumping:

"Extensive studies conducted by researchers at the Denver Museum of Nature and History have shown that the Preble meadow jumping mouse is not a distinct species from other common mice and does not deserve protection under the Endangered Species Act." - http://www.citizenreviewonline.org/jan2004/rodents.htm
