That's really not the point. Women's looks just shouldn't be part of the conversation at all. It's completely irrelevant to the issue at hand and it being part of the conversation in any sense can only be offensive. That's why you're being downvoted, not by me but I completely get why people are doing it.

> You cannot reduce the "gap" by aiming at the women who are already at Google. This should be obvious. They are already there. To make a dent in the gap, you need to attract more women who currently do not choose to work in tech or not at Google. So nothing he writes is about his colleagues at Google, or by extension women who are already in or interested in tech. It is about potentially attracting those who are not currently interested in that career.

If that were the case then he would not lead his essay implying that the current hiring policies were hurting Google. He seems to imply standards have somehow been damaged, but right now that's not what Google does.

> Third, it's not about ability, but about preference.

There are so many potential sources of preference, from negative experience to personal ability. It seems very suspect to point to gender stereotypes that a large number of women have been arguing against for decades are in fact the root cause here.

> you've probably heard that tend to score higher on the math SATs and women higher on the verbals. This is apparently not the whole story: men with high math scores do tend to not also have high verbal scores (and therefore prefer STEM). However, for women the two are correlated, not anti-correlated: those with high math scores tend to also have high verbal scores, so they have more options

Sources, please.

> Fifth, I thought pair programming was a Good Thing™?

That depends. If I told you the only way you're going to be competitive and not drag down the standard of my organization is by pairing up with another person, should you take that as a compliment?
With Google I've found it impossible to turn off the 'safesearch' and also the results I get are incredibly irrelevant to what I'm actually looking for. DDG solves both those for me, Bing isn't bad either.
It seems that “dog whistling” is a non contextual argument. If you don’t like someone, you can imply that what they’re writing has all manner of hidden meanings.

That blog post cites numerous relevant studies throughout. It'd be a waste of my time to replicate them and a waste of yours to read my amateurish attempt to duplicate that effort.
Frequently, I end up using !g in DDG. So the answer is maybe.
ITT: DDG and bangs. For those of you who also don't use DDG or know what these !bangs are, a quick google search shows that it's a quick way to directly search a website. !ebay motorcycle, would search ebay.com for...you guessed it--motorcycles.

my only question though is, why are these bangs so special when google does the same thing with `ebay.com: motorcycle`. Is it mainly the fact that DDG provides more privacy?
Before talking about gender imbalances in computer science related jobs we should fix the imbalance in the most male centric jobs. We need more women miners, bricklayers and mechanics along with trashwomen and oil rig workers.
Depends on your application and style of development. In my experience Node.js is almost always much faster than Ruby/Python and in some cases it's much faster than Java Spring type apps for certain types of network applications (mainly io bound web apps serving a lot of small requests, the event loop async nature of node really shines there). It's not C/C++ or pure Java or Go type of speed but for a lot of web application development? Node.js is great performant choice.
> It is incorrect to say that the lines can not be seen from the ground. They are visible from atop the surrounding foothills

cool technology but the conclusion where made from a false assumption. it still may or may not be possible that lines where drawn in such fashion, but the theory itself as exposed sits on very shaky ground.
Exact same experience here. Search for an error message or unique name and DDG comes up with very little, if anything.
Yes, also different cultures would apply it to different roles. In Germany I believe, only artists, could have genius, whereas in France and England this could apply to politicians and other groups as well. Goethe was a actually part of the early "Geniekult".
> So we'll see what we see in every other company now also at Google. No mixed teams.

Do folks really believe that's what gender-balanced work places are like? I used to work at a large New York law firm where 40% of the lawyers were women. All of my teams were mixed, and out of happenstance I spent the bulk of my time working for women partners. Nobody was "terrified" because everyone knew how to act like a professional adult.

I think it's more precise to say that they are selecting for productivity. Maybe more than one personality type is productive? It's not necessarily one single type.

"Does anyone with high performance requirements writes [JS, Python, PHP, Ruby, Perl, Tcl, Shell, Scheme, Lua]? Isn't that setting yourself up for failure on the first step?"

Actually, due to transparency, I would want the ability to drill that deep into the financials of the county, state, and country I live in. Even if it is a net positive offset by an exact equal negative.

The problem is when government is opaque, we get things like "Govt services are horrible, blablabla". Whereas if funding wasn't in omnibus bills and covered up, we could see "Yes, their performance is low cause they are understaffed and working on a shoestring budget. They couldn't even afford office supplies."

I mean seriously, we value provenance in software with tools like Git. Why not Government and expenditure calculations? I certainly see a value there, regardless the party.

I've been using DDG for more than 4 years now. I use Google perhaps 1-2 times/month when I can't believe there are no suitable results for a query and usually Google just confirms that (i.e. provides nothing DDG didn't).

Of course but when many people agree on the same hidden meanings, you surely have to consider that they might be there.

The segfaults in that particular Reddit thread were caused by a php test suite and are not the high parallel load type of segfault plaguing RyZen.

AMD says they can reproduce the problem on RyZen, and that it is not present in epic/threadripper.
This ignores the fact that countries like Jamaica recruit their best athletes into track and field, whereas Australia or China would push those kids into something else. A more accurate statement would be black countries have better track and field coaching infrastructure considering Usain Bolt routinely washed out of race finals until he was picked up by pro coaching staff. It's the same reason Canada usually wins the winter Olympics in Hockey, it's not because Canadians are genetically better at skating and handling sticks, it's because of the coaching, infrastructure to get kids into the national program, funding priorities, ect. Same reason why Germany wins the world cup, it's a financial priority for that country to ensure they do so they can build a national infrastructure of success, they don't have genetically superior athletics for Soccer.
They are designed to detect inconsistent responses, not adversarial ones. Which means that if you can remember for the duration of the test what personality you'd like to present, you're good to go.

Well, that, and you have to be able to recognize indirect questions. But it's really not adversarial proof.
when I was 16 I really wanted to get into business, and I worked as a freelancer competing at (what in hindsight were) insanely low rates against outsourcing companies to get some money together. It was completely willing on my part and was part of trying to achieve an ambition. I wasn't being exploited so I don't see what the issue is? I think the ethical boundary begins where someone has no choice but to work at a young age due to risks of destitution.

The thing that trips up most people is the realization that DuckDuckGo does't know anything about you. Many people have gotten used to tailored search results. If you learn to be a little more specific ("django framework" instead of "django") you'll find DDG very pleasant to use. Also, bangs are an indispensable feature.
That's quite interesting. I didn't know that ixquick.com != ixquick.eu
Then perhaps google should not solicit opinions on the matter, as they did in this case?

Then it seems we disagree on what the core issue is. I don't think it is a matter of gender science. I think he's using research in gender science to push an ideology that he's attempting to form grounds in his attached research.

I see it as a social issue primarily, with considerations that should include gender science, but not be based solely upon it.

For reference to my thinking on the matter I'll confer to one of my favourite scientists (as he is to many), Mr Feynman:

>> "Scientific knowledge is an enabling power to do either good or bad — but it does not carry instructions on how to use it. Such power has evident value — even though the power may be negated by what one does with it."
Yes, they're invaded Poland. And no, Poland didn't captured any USSR territories before that, so you can't justify that invasion.
I don't know how you use SSH, but I don't permit or establish anonymous SSH connections the way I do anonymous HTTPS connections.

SSH is "trust on first use" because the trust is typically established ahead of time by provisioning a username/password or a public/private key pair.

Along the same lines, I can use self-signed certs to encrypt the HTTPS connection to my own server, and feel confident because I can validate that it is really my cert and my server.

The same is not true of connecting to, say, twitter.com.
I don't, but there are plenty of spammers to go around :P
Two (sort of) unrelated observations:

Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman, has talked a lot over the years about how important he thinks it is for young people to try to become really well rounded with a broad range of interests and experiences. He's talked about how it makes them more interesting and dynamic individuals which leads to higher success in business and with all interpersonal relationships, generally.

Wells Fargo (circa late in the housing boom 2005-07, etc) used to use a personality test developed by Gallup. I heard from more than one higher-level manager that it basically selected for the exact kind of traits that would eventually lead to a sales culture where thousands and thousands of employees were committing fraud.

Goldman needs to be careful what they select for.
You could argue about the dialectics of modern technology - did earlier geniuses appear because of the lack of it? What would Einstein have achieved with access to computers? Maybe he would have never relied on his all-important thought experiments...
I find it hilarious that this guy was somehow okay with using disparate, unrelated facts to create detached conclusions to make a contrived political point, and when the obvious solution is to fire him because of his toxic, baseless beliefs that disrupt a working environment it's suddenly about free speech? That's delusional.

You out right take an unreasonable course of action, "predict" that there will be negative out comes from it, and cry foul when those negative outcomes come to fruition. What's sickening is how dishonest that is, what's disheartening is that the memo's creator is being defended by a sizable audience in the tech community.

There's a good deal of irony where the memo wanted to remove emotion from the conversation and face the "true" facts, yet the defenders of this guy want to cry about free speech (that isn't being violated) and defend terribly contrived pseudo-scientific points just to be outraged to defend some principle that was never being threatened in the first place.

It seems to be a continuing trend that people aligning to one side of the political spectrum are surprised when the rest of society rebukes them, and they get unimaginably offended at the reality that people actually react to things you do and say, especially when the latter statements are completely baseless.
A throwaway account created specifically to post one comment is a sign of bad faith. It's entirely possible that I am wrong but the lack of subsequent engagement suggests otherwise.

Another question is what makes you think that all whites think the same and therefore it will narrow the spectrum of ideas?

This assumption is never discussed and always accepted as true.

Why is that? Why are all the whites (or white males) identical in their thinking?

>Can a fleet of fighter planes run on electricity, currently? No.
>Can you run a supply chain to the front lines of a ground war with electricity?
Yes, with cheap solar power and favorable weather condition(alternatively recharge locations which would recharge or repair drones.)
Solar powered drones would be more cost-effective than oil-based armies.
Air/ground units greatest cost is protection of humans inside, making them expensive and energy hungry. Once the human factor is out, there is no point on being dependent on dense energy sources such as oil or static infrastructure such as rails and roads. The ideal fighting unit is cheap and self-sufficient: something like solar-powered aerial drone armed with particle beam weapon(e.g.ion beam) or area-denial beam weapon powered by wind/solar/hydro. Renewable energy is the future of warfare, like it or not.
> but it will result in less female google employees than male employees.

Well, again, the Google memo started by arguing Google's technical standard was being hurt so James doesn't seem to believe his colleagues all got the same interviews he did.

I'd be more inclicned to this sort of argument for racial and gender diveristy if Google & others didn't have such abysmly skewed distributions towards white men. Go look at Google's diveristy report and then do some Bayes Rule hacking with it.

Personality tests are awful. They don't test for the job you'll have, but rather for the personality they want. That personality they want could be white, middle class, highly educated male†, and those differences could come out in a personality test. Additionally the test could help discriminate against people with mental illness. There has been a lot written on these and how they do more harm than good.[0]

Like many online echo chambers, /r/the_donald bans people who dissent in any way. It is not a place where it is possible to engage in discussion. In fact, reddit is a horrible place to engage in meaningful discussion, as users can downvote any opinion they disagree with and make it disappear, and mods can ban any users they disagree with. It's easy to label people as trolls, but I have been banned from multiple subreddits when attempting to participate in discussions in good faith.
> A self-signed cert could be supported and effectively trust on first use like SSH and have the same trust model as a DV cert.

No, it can not. Self-signed certs, if not verified prior to first visit to a site or being trusted in case of company intranet sites, are vulnerable to a MITM attack - which is why browsers are warning if they can't detect a valid trust path.

Also, SSH is only secure on first use if you verify the fingerprints (and that is why ssh will ask you if you know/trust the hash on first connect).

Side question: does anyone know of a SSH "loadbalancer", working like HTTPS SNI so that multiple domains can have ssh on the same IP and port?

I'd never heard of him till yesterday, when I read a comment where he replied to one of his fans who wanted to form a breakaway state so his children could be raised only among their own ethnicity, and his reply was (paraphrasing from memory, but it was a weird enough answer that it kind of stuck) "Strengthen your soul to achieve your political goals".

So yeah he's definitely in that general area.
I'm not sure what you're asking - you want all cores to run at max speed, or do you want high-clock single-threaded performance when only using a single core? If it's the latter:

"Test results for AMD Ryzen":

> The Ryzen is saving power quite aggressively. Unused units are clock gated, and the clock frequency is varying quite dramatically with the workload and the temperature. In my tests, I often saw a clock frequency as low as 8% of the nominal frequency in cases where disk access was the limiting factor, while the clock frequency could be as high as 114% of the nominal frequency after a very long sequence of CPU-intensive code. Such a high frequency cannot be obtained if all eight cores are active because of the increase in temperature.
I didn't read it that way. To me it was strongly making the case for statistical differences between women and men that matter, which is what I disagree with. I guess everyone reads into that memo what they want.
The relevant search terms that have been downgraded are "socialism", "socialist", etc. Obviously, if you search WSWS or socialist website or socialist news you will get the WSWS. It is the more general terms that are at issue. These used to (up to April, just before the new policy was unveiled) return the WSWS very prominently. Now they do not.
