Yes. I am Canadian though.

I have become more open to the idea that the US is a wildly different place.

However it doesn't matter. For the individual person arguing a different point of view you can only succeed in persuading them if you respond to what they are saying fairly and charitably rather than argue with straw men and shadows from your own mind and fears.

That is what I am saying. Your ontology of the argument is too austere. People have other beliefs than women should be able to work or not.

The argument is that there is already a discriminatory quota in favour of white men (as any casual inspection of the figures will demonstrate and would require wilful blindness to refute). But none of them are complaining about this of course. They are on the contrary complicit in blissful ignorance of the fact because it is so entrenched it has become institutionalised.

If you come from a disadvantaged position, you have to be better to succeed, not equal. White men don't have it easy but they have it less hard.
The existence of one problem does not justify purposefully ignoring the other; both sexism and witch hunts are bad, and both should be corrected, neither should be ignored.
Right. The reason why this created a massive controversy was because he didn't do anything to stir up controversy. I get it, you really want to give this guy a pass because you agree with him, but reality doesn't agree with you.
I see this accusation leveled at the U.S. all the time, usually in highly contrived scenarios (random people picked off the street, asked to locate landmarks in another country, then the worst/funniest performers made into a gag reel). It shits me because it's so hypocritical. I'm not from the U.S. and I have no idea where your capital city is (let alone state capitals and whatnot) and I really don't give a crap, so why should you care about mine? It's just "hurr, durr, murkins are stupid" so that equally stupid people can feel superior about something.

Exactly because those skill can also be in women, but some are more likely to be in men as some are more likely to be in women. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Articles like this may seem obvious and redundant to you, me and other people that actively reach into the web for information. But there is a large...LARGE community of people that do not actively go looking for new information. They are fine or even scared to see what is beyond there bubble. So just like raising children. Constant reinforcement needs to happen to make things stick and let this information sink in. Eventually the light bulb flickers on for everyone.
Firstly I think that Bittorrent-style techniques are or have been used in some places even though it may not have been advertised very clearly. For example until a few years ago Spotify used to use something like Bittorrent to reduce the load on their servers. It's just that they didn't really tell anyone who used their product about this, which I honestly felt was kinda bad style.

Similarly I heard that Skype used to do something similar, I'm not sure exactly how it worked and apparently it was a pain to maintain so I think it has been scraped as well by now. I think some software updaters do use Bittorrent still, though.

If I were to guess, the really big reason for the lack of interest from big corporations is that collecting as much data as possible for use in machine learning is very much in vogue, while at the same time bandwidth seems to be very much a no-issue. Thus there is not much to gain and possible something to lose from employing bittorrent.
If that's what you took out of the "manifesto", then no amount of effort on my part will force you to stick your head out of the sand.
i have had success with running engine and creating content on linux since 4.12 or so. Seems to work ok, not a lot of dependency issues like i get with unity which relies a lot on distribution specific things like gnome service stuff.
https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Building_On_Linux

Following that guide i managed to get it running on debian and gentoo systems. I'm not a pro developer, so i might have not touched all features to test them, but to me it seemed to work fine.
Didnt do any programming for it on linux yet, so dont know how to or if its possible to build the code on linux, but the engine itself works fine. blueprints etc. and standard features worked fine too.
You are right its the most practical way. But companies these days are acting like it's the only indicator
German here as well. For one I (and probably many others as well) aren't expecting any war on German ground anytime soon (let's hope for the best).

But maybe "fighting a war for your country" implies quite a bit of patriotism. If there's ever been a country where concept of patriotism.. let's say slightly differs from other countries - yes, it's Germany.

Trying to write this as objective as possible: Big (compared other countries at least) parts of the population already wouldn't want to run around with a German flag. Some already see all the flags during football world cup season as "too patriotic".

I'm torn. I think I'd describe myself as very much not a patriot. I like living in Germany, looking at some things I'm even glad. But I don't see anything inherently good in German. I surely wouldn't object to being a "European citizen" with such a passport.
He referred to a "lowered bar" in the form of a reduced false-negative rate for "diversity candidates"; at no point in the document did he imply his female engineer colleagues are less qualified. He also had a reference to apparently support this assertion, but since the hyperlink leads to an internal Google group we can't really know its contents unless a Googler informs us.

That's not a fair conclusion, at least based on that one statement.
The first one I see in the readme is bubble sort... so the bar obviously isn't at "useful".
Doesn't this memo create an "us" vs "them" dichotomy in itself?
> the way to respond is to say that their information is wrong, not that they are wrong for saying it.

This is what bothered me the most about Google's response. They have the data to prove that the stereotypes about women were wrong. Instead of doing that, they focused on the idea that articulating the stereotypes was wrong. Some stereotypes actually have a basis in facts. The best way to deal with ones that aren't is to use the facts. Google failed at doing this.
The last paragraph in the article gets to the point:

“There’s only one reason why they’re requiring you to use a more expensive product,” Mr. Frankil said. “Because somewhere down the road, somebody is earning more money.”

The brand-name maker would like the generic market to dry up, so it may be as simple as the brand-name maker selling its product at a reduced price on condition that the insurer cuts off the generics. Given that some patients demand brand-name drugs and some doctors acquiesce, this may be cheaper for the insurer.

My doctor has a straightforward attitude - referring to patients who demand brand-name drugs "I told them 'I take generics. My kids take generics. If you won't take generics, find another doctor!'" (that was before the practice described here emerged. I am sure he has something to say about it...)
Yes?

At various times (in the United States) men have been able to opt out of war by: hiring a replacement to take their place; being a conscientious objector and taking a non-combat role; being born at the right time to not be drafted, and choosing not to volunteer; enlisting in a branch of the service unlikely to see combat; pleading a hardship; finding a doctor to claim you are medically unfit; just walking away (desertion, as long as it was not during combat, has historically be inconsistently punished).
I'm sure somebody has harmed you rather badly for this to be your opinion of all tech.

You should visit Europe- we're taking on SV hiring biases due to being so in love with the US, but "Bro" culture is not a thing I've ever seen. Ever.

The most sexist thing I've ever seen in tech is a sales guy being a bit over confident with his flirting. But then, he did it with guys to (not that I'm justifying it).

The inability to even discuss what is happening with hiring biases leads centrists to wish to discuss things; and the only people who are even open to discussion are the right wing. Who most centrists generally disagree with too.

I'm a classic liberal, left by many definitions. But the extreme left will very happily crucify me as right wing if I open my mouth with an opinion. Double so if I'm a white hetero man.

That attitude is much worse than any "bro" culture that may exist, not that I believe it does, and if that did exist then we can all rally against it and let those companies fail.
You're right, but the dividend portion of the plan linked in the top parent is meant to address the consumer's added cost. Poorer people would see higher benefit since they spend the least on carbon products but the revenue is returned equally.

Also see this paper, which is actually arguing for a slightly different system called cap-and-dividend but with the same outcome in mind: http://www.peri.umass.edu/fileadmin/pdf/working_papers/worki...

A plan such as tax-and-dividend or cap-and-dividend also breaches the political divide and shows that both sides can get what they want in a single sensible system. Yes, certain lawmakers will still spitefully resist as they always do.
Even if you disagree with it, white nationalism is a political stance

Almost all European countries had Molotov-Ribbentrop-like pact with Germany, including UK and Poland. MR-pact was just the last one; made after UK and France sabotaged Molotov's effort to make pact with them and after the Austrian Anschluss and breaking of Czechoslovakia. They wanted Germany to attack the USSR and not to be bound to help, just like they looked the other way after Poland was attacked later that year.

Either the merchant agreements forbid charging credit card fees, or it's just a norm that our businesses have adopted (over here we strongly believe in the advertised price being the actual price - we don't have tax-added-on-afterwards or mail-in rebates like in the US), but either way you very rarely get charged a fee directly. Some places will have a minimum spend to pay by credit card, and low-end shops won't accept Amex because their fees are higher, but for most the card fees are built into the prices that you pay even if you're paying cash.

There are studies in infants that probes a different favoritism for things that are highly correlated with gender.

How do you explain that infants without being corrupted by the popular culture still chose differently based on gender?

I think we're drifting away from the author's article.

His statement about 'lowering the bar' with respect to decreasing false negatives directly implies a relationship between candidate quality and the false negative rate.

I can't comment on your hiring analogy, as you have more experience in this area than I do. My responses were only to highlight the subtle negative character of the author's statement.
> One thing I like about Russians and the Germans in professional circles is they indulge in unadulterated expression of opinions.

It's ironic that the two countries who not so long ago were horrific totalitarian regimes now are more free (at least in this aspect) than USA - "the land of the free".
Sorry, that doesn't fly. Working with people who have different political views is part of being a professional.

It's a team sport after all.

Something tells me that you aren't also going to defend the firing of anyone with open SJW beliefs for the same reason.
Nice trolling, I guess?

When there's a conflict, I generally look at the "weight" of the opponents. Can you, with a straight face, call Iraq a real opponent or even threat for the US? More than that, do you think the US really needed allies to invade Iraq? (except for trying to use them to legitimize the war).
Two populations can have the same median and average score on fit for a criterion. However, if they have a different distribution, let's say population A has a 'normal' distribution while population B has a U-Shaped distribution, then after the application of a high pass filter with a cutout above the shared median, you will be left with proportionally higher residue of population B than of population A and unbiased sampling of the result will reflect this. Applying a high-pass filter below the median will show an inverse result. A high-pass filter with cut-off at the median will result in a 50/50 result between A and B remainders. As always, statistics do not say anything about any individual in any of the populations. Statistics does also not address the potential underlying causes of the distribution differences. Using statistical arguments to judge individuals is usually referred to as prejudice or discrimination. Many countries have adopted laws and regulations to curb some select forms of discrimination, while permitting others.

He said they were different, not inferior. He pointed out some differences that would be considered superior.
We were talking about a starting point. I'm saying maybe the edges could be knocked off in some kind of orderly way so that the company-wide message he ultimate sent might not have blown up in his face so badly. He clearly thought he was doing fine, but now he's getting all his feedback all at once and has lost his job. So just maybe a little pre-consultation about how to approach this topic (without accidentally implying things that lead to headlines and firings) would have benefited the actual goal of moving debate forward.
>In spite of what religious leaders (career term bureaucrats who actually don't know any better at all) may tell us, that's hardly the way to find maximum fulfillment in relationships. [...] Like I say, God isn't talking at all to those old men. Nor are they wise. They are mostly full of bias and baloney.

I don't know what you're talking about. I said nothing about religion, and this whole paragraph is all over the map. I doubt that very many couplings, including obviously bad ones, result in desperation nearing that of "a homeless junkie" as a virtue of themselves.

>The idea of arranged marriages is abhorrent, very close to slavery in denying individual worth and choice.

I disagree. Please note I said the arrangement should not be compulsory. We have many social obligations that are enforced culturally (at this point, marriage itself could almost be considered among these); such customs can be flaunted at will, but there is social pressure not to do so.

Progenitors are strongly motivated to make good choices on behalf of their offspring because their offspring's interest is simultaneously their own self-interest. Parents and grandparents are much more experienced than your average 20-something and generally much better equipped to make reasonable choices in mate selection, themselves typically having had some experience in the matter.

>How to find your ideal mate for lots of men? She'll have me!

I just don't see this technology ever going mainstream. I first deployed this type of application in 2003. It was named Redswoosh and did effectively the same thing as BitTorrent, just in a closed client. I was also a very early adopter of BitTorrent using it personally.

Users hated it for general use, even when downloading big files. 1) They didn't like having to install/run some special software to download a file. 2) They didn't like the effects of uploading to others and it slowing down the connections.

Consumer networks are asymmetric having far more download capacity in upload capacity. This makes sense since 1) most users download and want to use the available bandwidth for faster downloads, and 2) it prevents commercial applications on consumer circuits. This is far from ideal for applications like BitTorrent.

I'm not saying there isn't an application for this technology, I'm saying all the good applications don't want to ask the users to pay for distribution to other users. Thus it's relegated to mostly piracy, open source, etc.

Bittorrent Inc. has been trying to commercialize this for a decade now, I just don't see it happening. If there was anyone who could commercialize it, it was Travis Kalnik, and while he exited for 20m, he was very lucky, (and happy) to get out of that market.

My mother's family went through the same dispute over my grandparents' real state and destroyed the family. Keep in mind that it is a lower middle class family in a developing country (Brazil), not that much money. One of the most vicious aunts in the dispute had actually the same or more wealth than my grandparents.

Money has a way of being the perfect "excuse" for vicious people to expose their viciousness.
>It's insane that the government allowed them to do this.

What do you mean by this? The statement seems to imply they had to ask for permission from someone other than themselves?
wait until you have kids...they fill up a lot of your time (if you don't outsource the job to nanny, etc)
Because someone has to raise the kids, and mothers _usually_ but not always take on that role voluntarily. Especially since infants are biologically tied to their mother for food.

My wife is more educated than I, with a masters degree. But she wanted to stay home, work part time, and not have our kids raised by a third party.

The traditional family structure for Homo sapiens has strong biological and environmental roots, which in turn caused "societal traditions". Changing that in a few generations seems quite unlikely.
I only looked at the linked_list but there are a few examples that jump out straight away:

- Getters and setters are used all over the place (setData, getData etc)

- Strangely named variables - eg List = [] and newNode = Node(data)

- Non-pythonic conditionals eg I'd expect while(temp.next != None): to read while temp.next:

- functions are commented outside the function instead of in docstrings, which, ironically would have made it much better for learning the algorithms :-)

Not that it's bad code, it's just not very pythonic.

>Note that I do not buy the silly notion that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' and that 'I don't find that person attractive but I'm sure someone else will'. This is somewhat backed by data (e.g., the OKCupid survey), but I have developed this belief on my own. Humans of all races have a built-in instinct to find some visuals more appealing and attractive than others. It is sad but true. To take it to an extreme, if we find some visuals disgusting (e.g., spilled guts, slimy things) we don't all of a sudden go "I'm disgusted by slimy spilled guts of animals, but that's just me, I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who have the exact opposite reaction, that they love to look at slimy spilled guts".

Physical attractiveness standards are nowhere near as specifically biologically determined as the reaction to "slimy spilled guts." Even just looking at western Europe-derived cultures, the "beautiful female nudes" of art from just a couple of hundred years ago are much heavier and less muscular than those of today. And "I don't find that person attractive but I'm sure someone else will" clearly can apply for cases like hair color preference.

I believe there has been research showing more universal preferences for, for example, bilateral symmetry - but the specifics vary by culture and individual.
