> Should white NBA players be offended by that statement? The answer is obvious: they shouldn't as that only means they were the ones on the tail of the genetic distribution and made it anyway or maybe even they overcome disadvantages to get there.

I don't know: I'm not an NBA player and have no idea what the experience of becoming one is like. But there is a difference in kind here. He didn't say "Men are better suited to be Google employees", he said "Men are better suited to be programmers". The closer analogy here is to say that "Black people are better basketball players than white people", and here it might well be fair for white NBA players to be offended. There is a distinction between saying "More of X are good enough to pass this bar", and "X is better than Y". People who can pass the bar are unlikely to be offended for themselves (though they may be offended for others who don't attempt to cross that bar), but they may be offended for themselves if the suggestion is that they are worse than their colleagues.

But if you said, in addition, "The NBA currently employs discriminatory hiring practices that favour white athletes at the expense of black ones", then they should be offended. At that point you are saying "I believe that group X is better than group Y, and many of group Y are here despite there being better members of group X". That is offensive.

> We can however do something with this information: we can try changing tech world to be more welcoming to women.

I have a suggestion as to how to do that: stop saying that women are worse at coding. Just don't even bring it up. This goes doubly because there is no evidence for that at all.

You can make the tech world more welcoming to women by welcoming more women, and then give them the opportunity to succeed. Writing think pieces about how women are so ill-suited to coding doesn't just display a stunning lack of understanding about how the industry got started, it also makes it clear that right now you think women don't belong.

But if the view is that "software work as it is today is just not women's work, so we should make it more like women's work", then I'm sorry but you've already lost.

A shell glob cannot tell you the size, owner, permissions, timestamps of a file. For that .. oh look! There's ls(1).

As someone who maintains a multi-MLOC application in fpc (using emacs and lazarus): discipline.

You don't grow an application to that size by simply building on what might be suitable for a 30kloc application. It requires discipline, experience, trial and error and ability to invest time in properly maintaining the codebase.

Disciplined code review by people very familiar with the codebase is vital.

Agreed, and it's become common on many more cars than supercars to add valves to make exhausts noisier. I suspect these valves are not triggered in regulatory exhaust noise tests.

From Jaguar's website:

Every F‑TYPE is fitted with an Active Sports Exhaust
that creates a race‑car inspired crescendo.
The exhaust system reacts to throttle position, speed
and engine revs by opening active valves. When open,
these valves allow exhaust gases to take a more direct,
less restrictive route through the rear silencer
producing a much richer, more exhilarating sound. Where
fitted, the Switchable Active Exhaust, allows you to
manually open the exhaust valves so you can enjoy
F‑TYPE’s stirring soundtrack at all engine speeds. This
feature is optional on F‑TYPE and standard on all other
models.
You know the VPN providers paid for the ranking.

It even had APIs to interface with DirectX.

We need some kind of camera technology with acoustic localisation/triangulation that can be installed on main roads to detect vehicles that are operating at excessive/illegal noise levels.

> magnitude of those differences is sufficient to explain a 4:1 ratio between male and female engineers at Google (which is clearly not true)

I had obtained numbers for number of pull requests in github and participation in competitive coding contests some time back. Gender ratios are close to 10:1 on both of the places. It's relevant because there is neither any barrier nor lowering the bar due to gender in these.
I use 0.0.0.0 which is the defined "invalid" address, so any requests immediately fail.
I wonder if only using non-overlapped triangles would reduce accuracy. Otherwise, it should limit the number of triangles.
From what I saw in the API, the AI will potentially have some key advantages like more accurate micromanagement, and that can make a significant difference in a combat setting. They can try to compensate for this by throttling the number of actions per minute, but that won't compensate for extremely well-planned pixel-perfect clicks. This is a very powerful tactical advantage that can offset strategic deficiencies, if any.

Now, I would not compare SC1 bots to whatever DeepMind is going to create. SC1 bots were in their majority just rule-based bots with hand-coded strategies. DeepMind will create machine learning based bot, train it with data based on thousands if not millions of replays, and test it privately, maybe hiring a professional in the process (same they did with Fan Hui 5p), and make it play itself millions of times. It's a matter of time until they get it right and they get to pick when that time is. They will not organize a match until they feel their probability of winning is significant.
Yes, because it is the same argument.

The GP didn't talk about about hiring policies, he talked about institutional criticism. The subject of the criticism is irrelevant.

Part of the problem SC2 units are not very balanced and each patch tries to make them "more balanced". SC2 design settled on making unique units at cost of balance.

Roaches in fact are quite overpowered, with very fast regen and quick ranged attack(they move as fast as hydralisks). A versatile and low-cost unit(cheaper than a Hydralisk). And the reason they're so powerful, SCII units of other races in general are more powerful than broodwar units and have less weaknesses.
Broodwar instead has weak, easy dying units that force micro to extend their lifespan. SC2 units always have easy regen/heal/repair and the player just masses them in huge attack groups with minimal micro(their blocking boxes are tiny and pathing is good enough). The rock-paper-scissors from broodwar(which ephasized soft-counter) morphed into hard counters to everything, which lowered the strategic depth to "make whatever kill the majority of enemy unit type"(since its the best cost-effect decision at any point).
SC2 "pro matches" are never decided in micro battles, they're most a competition on who can more effectively spend resources. SC2 micro is laughably unoriginal and tactically irrelevant(resource competition is far more important).
..And the reason SC2 can't have good micro in principle is not the 3D engine overhead, its server latency and lag. Perfect LAN games in broodwar with sub 10ms latency and millisecond reflexes can't exist within central servers hosting hundreds of players.
Shenzhen: China’s ‘skyscraper capital’
Maximisation of individual liberty can be similar to taking account of the common good.

This is a traditional left libertarian vs. right libertarian conflict:

The left libertarian view tends to be more favourable to assigning relative weight to rights and favour restrictions on one right to safeguard another.

To take your example, speed limits are small, relatively inconsequential restrictions on the individual liberty of many in favour of reducing a number of infringements of rights on wider society, the most important of which is safeguarding wider society's right to life.

That, to me, makes judicious evidence based use of speed limits a justified restriction on individual liberty.

I think that is key, though: However you word it - be it "common good" or "individual liberty" - what makes the bigger difference is that there are clear criteria (e.g. a hierarchy of importance of liberties) and an expectation of evidence based policy.

Getting politicians to accept evidence-based policy-making seems to be the biggest hurdle at present, as evidence-based policies would overturn a whole lot of legal restrictions that they believe wholly in the importance of no matter what the evidence says.
> he cannot possibly implicitly mean "but clearly that does not apply to every woman currently employed at Google, who were all hired because they are the best in the world at their jobs"

He clearly can, were it not for affirmative actions - if you assume perfect recruitment based on merit, you can expect everyone accepted to be suitable for the role. But in this case you'll also find, as the memo author explained quite sensibly, that the gender ratio might not be 1:1 due to distribution of interest in the population, which affects the distribution of the candidate pool.

I mean, come on, this is a pretty obvious point - and I'm starting to believe that it takes intent to misread it like you did.

> Damore asserts that Google practices discriminatory hiring practices.

Yes, that's the definition of affirmative action. It's literally discriminating in order to counter perceived discrimination in the opposite direction.

I work with a multi-mloc application in fpc. We have migrated the code over many compiler versions with hardly any issues at all.

With every update they post a list of things breaks compatibility, and if you are affected, the refactoring tools are almost always enough.

We had two tries at a full recompile migrating from 2.6.something to 3.0.2, and passed all tests within 13 hours of starting the process. (some of the larger stuff were however already fixed since we keep a close eye on the development).

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

http://www.pnas.org/content/112/17/5360.abstract

It should also be noted that the earlier study, which showed a smaller effect and only if the resumes were calibrated to be (a) mediocre and (b) precisely calibrated to be the same, was done in Psychology. Which is, of course, a field dominated by women and maybe not the typical "STEM" that we think about when we talk about the underrepresentation of women in tech.

Those two findings in turn gel with a recent French study that showed bias in grading in favor of the underrepresented gender in a particular field (though the bias was stronger in favor of women than in favor of men).

http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/46681/...

And of course there was the recent trial (not an experiment AFAICT) in Australia to reduce gender bias:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-30/bilnd-recruitment-tria...

"The trial found assigning a male name to a candidate made them 3.2 per cent less likely to get a job interview.
Adding a woman's name to a CV made the candidate 2.9 per cent more likely to get a foot in the door."

UPDATE: I was looking for one more thing, and finally found it. Despite the fact that the study showing bias against women is much weaker, it has been cited several times more often than the study showing bias for women (table near the bottom). https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/rabble-rouser/201707/wh...
There are, but they're few and far between and certainly not as diverse as what you've described.
Where did the race baiting comment go? I wanted to respond by asking why we always think it's the race that is driving these statistics. Where's any consideration of an alternative hypothesis, such as poverty and inequality? I don't actually know if we have this data, to be honest. Maybe someone can look at records and see what bail was set to for each arrest?

And to you as well, I pose another question: if cops treat black people unfairly, is it because they assume any black person is just going to commit a crime? Or is it more unconscious, in that the income inequality in the black population makes police officers more likely to associate black people with low income? For the record, I think that regardless police response is racially motivated and that we can all work together to change that.
Have you read the memo? By saying "stop saying that women are worse at coding" you are putting words in his mouth, as the memo states a very, very different thing i.e. that women are less likely to choose coding for various reasons, including biological ones. There's a world of difference between these two arguments.

And there is solid evidence for that difference, and it should be brought up, and asking to stop the discussion is, frankly, ridiculous - we can all see that there is an important open problem with different viewpoints and thus it should be discussed, and expressing all kinds of possible viewpoints should be facilitated.
Okay, thanks. I appreciate the counterpoint. I guess I'd like to see it both ways: bots limited to human speed and bots not.
