Companies with a profit motive don't want to hire people of a certain race but rather of a certain personality, one that will earn them profit.

In many cases, they'll be looking for people who are easily instructed what to do (perhaps high agreeableness?) and likely to finish what they start (perhaps high conscientiousness?).

That is, agreeableness and conscientiousness would be highly valuable to a company that wants subservient drones.

As much as I am big supporter of FOSS - writing open source software as much as I can, financially support developers, and actively try to avoid proprietary solutions when there is an adequate free alternative - I am yet to see any kind of open-source software that is original or that it has managed to create a new industry on its own.

All praise to GIMP, Inkscape and Krita, but they only exist because some proprietary software already existed and created the demand for an free alternative.

I would argue it's a necessary right. That's not the issue and I ask again, what does fast mean? It has no intrinsic meaning.

> Stop muddying the waters.

Insisting the terms of a negotiation before taking an agreement is not muddying the issue. It's rationally rigorous and seems to be problematic. That's why it's worth discussing. I'm still waiting.
I once had a problem with my old bank (Citi, IIRC) and tweeted them. They connected me to a CSR 'on steroids' who solved my problem lickety split (I gave him my number, he called immediately, I told him the issue, hung up and he called back within 5 minutes to say 'problem solved').

I was amazed that such people w/in big corps exist. Be nice if that were the rule and not the exception.

Remote work is great for so many reasons. Off the top of my head:

For the company:

* less office space expense
* bigger talent pool
* low cost benefit
* increased documentation
* encourages the trend towards outcome based management (as opposed to butts in seats)

For the programmer:

* more control over their work environment
* more control over their time
* no "commuting" subsidy for their employers
* arbitrage payscales and standard of living
* working vacations become possible

There are some downsides in terms of increased coordination costs and I have some friends that will never get to work remote because of security concerns, but for most developers this trend is fantastic.

Yeah, Groupon is a great comparison IMO. Huge initial growth, but spending a bunch of money to acquire each customer doesn't work once a bunch of copy-cat competitors enter the market.

Progress also requires a common standard. Linux is not unreasonable, it just has its own standards.

Things that don't conform to that standard are 'garbage' or are simply in other words 'non compliant'. Linus could express all the same ideas without profanity, if people cared about quality as much as he does.

Strictly enforcing some compliance to their developing process doesn't make Linux development 'unreasonable', because trying to change their developing process just because of some external web tool doesn't constitute 'reasoning'.

Trying to change their development process is just fire and motion ( https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/01/06/fire-and-motion/ ) from a third party.

You are generalizing in a way that will create animosity. There are liberal people which identify as muslims.

Even ignoring the oil change(15k seems like a huge interval, 5x what I did on traditional oil) you're still spending ~$0.17 per mile @ $2.80/gal.

For our 5k lb EV right now I'm paying $0.07KWh at about .3KW/ mi for a total of $0.023/mi(hence why tires cost me more than electricity, they're about $1k/35k mi or 0.028/mi).

Even our Ecodiesel that gets 28MPG still costs almost 10x to run per mile compared to our EV(which has similar weight) before you even factor oil changes.
The real issue with these services is that it is unclear what value they actually provide. If you want to cook yourself and save money, you could just get the ingredients yourself (or have them delivered by a service like Amazon Fresh). If you want to save time, you either go out to eat or order take-out. In contrast, Blue Apron and their like combine the worst of both worlds: high prices and no time savings.

BTW, Hello Fresh is actually one of the companies funded by the infamous Samwer brothers and their Rocket Internet. They operate in several European countries, and they have been offering large discounts. I don't imagine they're not burning through a lot of cash because of that.
They are not close to humans at all. They are good for very specific tasks only.

Edit: Spelling
I've been a happy user of the service for about a year. I've never had any problems with missing or poorly packaged ingredients, but have had shipping delays maybe once every six weeks or so, often resulting in a refund.

At any rate, wanted to point out that they recently expanded the number of meals you can choose from in a given week and introduced new "faster to prepare" meal options, so they are definitely listening to that criticism. Note that I haven't tried any of these.

Meanwhile I've found that what helps a lot on cutting down extraneous dishes is just to read the entire recipe card a couple of times before starting so I know what's coming up and which steps can be cut down or combined to save dishes. It also helps to make the whole thing go quicker and feel less stressful during time sensitive portions.

Scrapmetal: scrap your boilerplate in Rust
Can you explain why hiring women who are just as good as, if not better than, men at the job, but who would prefer (on average) to work elsewhere, perhaps somewhere with more women employees, would make the business do worse?

And can we note that I replied to someone saying "he didn't say that", suggested a place where he did and got replies from different people saying "yes he did say that, and he's correct" and replies saying "no, you're misreading what he said as it's explained in more detail later".

So it appears at the very least (and I feel I'm being generous here), that his words can be misread by people on both sides of the issue, which might be worth bearing in mind for those trying to paint his detractors as a hysterical mob who haven't even read the memo.
I guess I don't know if people were secretly terrified of the mixed-gender situation. But the recruiting process at a big firm involves 12 weeks of alcohol-fueled social events, and I saw pretty much everyone participate. People socialized and made friends with people of the opposite gender, as if we were in a first world country where that was okay. And when I started full time, I never saw any friction in the exclusively mixed-gender teams I worked on.

> there's no reason to assume discrimination unless it's proved.

Yes there is. Cultural sexism is already widely known to be a massive problem, and active discrimination is only a small part of that. Discrimination is known to exist as well. At the same time there is no known, no proven connection between sex and capacity for engineering, that doesn't even exist as as far as we know.

The number of women in tech is changing over time, faster than evolution, the number of women starting computer science degrees is changing over time, faster than evolution, and many companies employ a larger percentage of women than Google. So, there definitely are reasons to assume cultural sexism and discrimination are involved, and there are more reasons to do so than not.

Burden of proof is on Damore. He has made vague and blanket generalizations about some of the differences between men and women to jump to very specific conclusions that there is no proof of. The burden of proof absolutely rests on him to back up his claims. What he's done so far is spread some FUD, he used sophomoric logic to invent a theory that rationalizes his own desire to discriminate. By claiming that women aren't innately as good- something for which is there no evidence- that frees him up (and anyone who believes the same) to openly not hire women, or to pay them less, for example.

Active discrimination is only one part of the wider issue. Cultural stereotypes, and fear and self-selection by women and men are part of the larger cultural sexism issue too, among other things. There are fewer women studying computer science now than 10 years ago. There are more women studying computer science now than 40 years go. If the primary differences in the capacity for engineering are innate, then how do you explain that? Evolution of human capacity for engineering is not taking place on a yearly basis, so obviously innate biology is not the primary force at play here.

The number of women in the workforce has gone up over the last decade at the same time the number of women in tech has declined, yet all the male-female differences Damore commented on would affect all men and women in business. Remember, he only claimed that women are more open, more agreeable, and more neurotic, and that men are more driven for status. If this explains the gender gap in tech, then it should also explain the same gender gap in business globally, and it fails to do that by miles.

The same arguments that Damore is putting forward were used to discriminate against women in tech have been used in the paste to discriminate against women in the workforce in general, and against women in the military as well.

"Well, that's great, because his points on gender differences are actually extensively backed by research. When he's talking about that, he isn't talking about what should be or what can be, he's talking about what is."

Doing a lit review--i.e., knowing the research in a field--is a thing that take a lot of time and working in that field.

I'd trust this guy to be up to date on algorithm research, and present an even-handed exposition on what's good for task x or y, cause that's presumably the thing he spends his days doing.

I see no reason to assume that he can do a thorough, even-handed lit review on a field he doesn't have working experience with, like biology or evolutionary psychology.

There's also been a long history of using "science" to support objectionable ideas (e.g. scientific racism).

Saying this (not a researcher, not a biologist, not an evolutionary psychologist) guy's writing is extensively backed by research just doesn't move the needle for me in any way.
I have it as well and will say that the issue IS that grief which causes sensitization ie your amygdala remodelling in response to it. Once you overcome it emotionally you won't care about it at all. I still hear it 24/7 but it doesn't make me unhappy or make my life worse in any way.

> This is actually quite trivial nowadays. I did hear that setting up and configuring mail servers was difficult with Postfix and Sendmail but I personally had no problem setting up qmail and opensmtpd.

I haven't really looked into it, but at least it's not as difficult as I thought it might be. The only other problem is that a lot of ISPs block outgoing connections on port 25, so you would either need a business account with them or would need to have a server on a hosting provider that allows outgoing connections on that port.

> Not everything really needs to have its articles on the usenet. There are many NNTP networks that do not have that.

While that is true, that would require that contributors sign up for some type of account on that NNTP network to post and it wouldn't nearly be as visible to potential contributers (unless they advertise their NNTP server information and not require authentication for read only access). gmane is one example that I know of (though you cannot post articles through it as far as I'm aware).
I've heard it's much better fresh than dried
Pretty much. I live about 15 miles from the White House and my assumption is that I'd probably survive the initial stages of a nuclear war. Weapons have actually been getting a lot smaller in recent decades. At the peak of the Cold War, weapons with tens of megatons of yield were not uncommon. Right now, the biggest bomb in the US arsenal is 1.2 megatons, and most are much smaller. A lot of this is because of accuracy: giant bombs were needed for strategic weapons in the 1960s because you'd be lucky to get such a bomb within a couple miles of your intended target. With modern weapons able to hit a chosen city block (or a chosen room of a building if using GPS guidance) you can use much smaller weapons.

The deadliness of nuclear weapons tends to be overstated at all yields. For example, look at all the ridicule that the old "duck and cover" method gets. It's actually a highly practical method that would save a lot of lives, even with the old gigantic bombs.

Now, don't get me wrong. Nuclear war, or even a single nuclear strike, would kill a shitload of people, and there's some merit to the idea that "the living would envy the dead" that you see a lot of other commenters espousing here. But popular ideas like "one bomb would destroy the entire state of Texas" and "the combined nuclear arsenals of the world are enough to destroy the planet N times over" are completely wrong.
"Does this technology exist now?"

Oh, yeah, easily. You could quite easily put together such a device yourself. Just put out a 130dB noise for someone in a frequency they can't hear. You can still damage their hearing.

You can play the same game really easily with eyes, too. Put out a very, very bright light in some parts of the UV spectrum and the eye completely can't detect it, won't even close the pupil, but it'll still be damaged/destroyed. You may recognize this as "the reason why the tell you to be very careful during eclipses".

I can't guarantee someone hasn't found some new "advanced" spin on this, so maybe it is an "advanced" device, but the simple case is trivial.

That's a wholly uncharitable reading of what he's saying. A way more good faith interpretation would be the very simple equation of "working with just computer - more thing oriented, working with computer + partner - more people oriented".

This may be wrong(I don't have any evidence to back it up, and neither did Damore), but it is wholly different from the sinister undertones you are seeing.

(In fact, taking your "mentorship" interpretation, it is entirely possible that the women would be the one doing the mentoring, if their skill at engineering was hampered by a disinterest towards purely thing-oriented pursuits).
