He argues against affirmative action that benefits women, because they are inferior[1] anyway, but then argues for affirmative action that benefits conservatives[2], and suggests to start by "breaking down Googlegeist scores by political orientation", and to hire more conservatives because "conservatives tend to be higher in conscientiousness, which is require for much of the drudgery and maintenance work characteristic of a mature company"

This shows he has no problem with affirmative action - aka discrimination - as long as he profits. But as soon as someone else profits, he disagrees.

EDIT: He argues that political diversity is most important:

And he makes up more pseudo-scientific arguments for why Google should hire more conservatives:

In the context of his memo - where he states that Google is too far left-wing - the recommended changes are obvious: Hire more conservative. He also recommends to track the political affiliation of all existing employees to track the diversity gap there:

> I would start by breaking down Googlegeist scores by political orientation

This is the same kind of affirmative action that he criticizes just a few paragraphs before.

EDIT2: With regards to biologically inferior, he references IQ (see his footnote 8, and its use in text), "Neuroticism", and other pseudo-scientific arguments why women would be biologically inferior.

Also, the exit intent pop-ups. I, most of the time, just open a tab and switch to a different tab to read the current one later and then that Pop-up comes. It just annoys the hell out of me.

Even sometimes I don't pay much attention to it and when after reading other tabs I come back to this tab; all I see is that pop-up standing there, asking for attention. It even makes me forget why I even opened this tab in the first place and makes me leave immediately.

Very cool.

I wonder why you disqualify your multiplayer mode? Sure on the SP it would be unrealistic but I see no reason two players couldn't share an original model GBA, holding one end each.
yes it is actually. if your function has a logical branch then it is doing more than one thing. if your function has a logical branch within a logical branch then it is doing exponentially more things and this complexity continues to grow exponentially.

therefore, if you have a logical branch you ask yourself: does it make sense to create a function here? the answer may be yes or no. if you create a nested logical branch you ask yourself: does it make sense to create a function here? the answer still may be yes or no but the weight of the evidence for yes has increased exponentially.
Well...sorta. Postgres/Timescale have pretty rich support for JSON these days (and its more efficient "binary" JSONB), so there are a whole range of options you can do that make it feel much more schema-less than before.

In fact, last month we released a beta version of a Prometheus connector for Timescale/Postgres that allows you to store arbitrary Prometheus metrics without pre-defining all these varied schemas:

https://github.com/timescale/pg_prometheus

The same approach should work for Telegraf, we just haven't yet tried to generalize this plugin.

Not just social capital, but literal financial capital too. There's a growing number of people who are leveraging their 'victim status' in Patreon backers and donations, or trying to move from being the centre of a controversy to a public speaking role.

The elephant in the next room however is the couple of billion people who are pining for a sliver of the middle class (read: high energy) lifestyle we've taken for granted for close to a century. It would be grossly immoral to deny this lifestyle to them (never mind geopolitically impossible).

Sure, they get to skip a few steps on the ladder, and start out with LED lights and cheap insulation materials etc, but an energy efficient dish washer is more expensive than a less efficient one, and a well-insulated house is more expensive than one less so.

Yes, we should keep demanding better and more efficient solutions, to make sure they get developed, but the only responsible thing to do is to prepare for a future where global energy consumption is going up by quite a bit.
I have seen this pattern repeated in many large companies. One big product is successful and builds a nice PR bubble. Executives pile on anything they had in the pipeline with a re-brand, diluting the new brand.

I wonder what the solution is? Stronger brand owners within the company who can defend and be the quality control of what gets associated? Or is it hopeless?
I think with the outreach stuff that I have seen we just get more nerdy minorities. It's still basically the same kinda people.
> IPv6 suffix randomization is enabled by default on Windows, OSX, and iOS. For Android, it probably varies (like everything else) by vendor, but my personal Android phone is using a random suffix. What are the machines you're using that aren't doing this?

I think it was Win7 last I tested it, probably an early service pack; according to https://superuser.com/questions/243669/how-to-avoid-exposing... it should already have had privacy addressing, but perhaps it was somehow turned off on the machine I tested (or perhaps my expectation that it would change on reboot was wrong?).

> The IPv6 prefix you are assigned by your carrier is a feature of whatever DHCPv6 setup they have; if they're assigning you the same prefix for every time you power-cycle your modem on IPv6 and they were not doing so with DHCPv4, that's super weird.

They were allocating from a pool on DHCPv4, where reservations were for a few hours (so immediate power cycle would get same address, but if you wait a couple of hours or release and request, you'd get a new one). They are not using DHCPv6 in the same way - they assign a prefix-per-customer. That was the case with all the local IPv6 carriers I inquired with. I guess it means that the prefix is /56 or even /60 - I didn't even ask.
I do not see it would happen on a large scale. Those work-to-benefit could work on things, that local government cannot afford or are not planning to do. Even cleaning wild areas which are a serious problem in some parts of woods for example. Or cleaning beaches, or planting trees in remote areas. There are those things that simply are hard to achieve when you are tight on a budget already.

Does it make sense to outsource blockchain development?
Any decent lawyer will tell you that interviews rarely help and often hinder your case. And the times it can help your case it only does so if you've been well coached by a competent lawyer and manage to stick to the script.
That is very much not the question. The question is whether there exists an equal proportion of men and women in the population. If you want to hire a senior developer, and women make up 60% of that population, it would be counter-productive to try and mandate 50% quotas, because then you'd be looking for people in the minority population.

Sexist hiring practices isn't having fewer women than men. Sexist hiring practices are having a men:women ratio that is different from the ratio in the applicant pool. If the general population of developers is 90% men and 10% women, hiring 9 men for each woman is exactly what you'd expect to see in an unbiased hiring process.

I don't think "equally good" even makes sense. Of course there's nothing preventing women to be as good as men at programming, or vice-versa. You have to look at populations per level of competence, and that still doesn't mean that someone "can't" be as good as someone else. Maybe they're just not interested in that thing as much.

> These are almost exclusively for kids in school or just out of school.

They are not. One of the places I've worked, they were part of the culture, once or twice a year. Reports suggest this is true many other places, as well. These are real, professional, grown-up workplaces, or so at least they style themselves as being. They are not schools.

> If you hate them, don't do them, they aren't necessary.

They can be. I had no desire whatsoever to waste a weekend working without pay in exchange for pizza. It was made clear to me that, while my participation would not be explicitly required as a condition of employment, it certainly would constitute a substantive part of my next performance evaluation. The subtext was: everybody else is doing it, so if you don't, you're clearly not committed enough to work here. Again, reports suggest this is far from unique to the organization I describe.

> The engineer bro-culture and a certain social status that is assigned to software or computer engineers and geekdom in general is a new [phenomenon].

Honestly, this is 110% a startup culture thing, just like the kegerator and the "hackathon" example of Mandatory Fun. I've never seen it anywhere else. No idea why it is the way it is, but not gonna lie, if I'd known 25 years ago that the field around which I intended to build my working life was going to go the way it has in terms of culture, I'd have had to sit down and study a while on whether I shouldn't change my plans somewhat.

The good news is that it is just startup culture that's gone this way. For all the contempt that culture likes to aim at the "enterprise" world, and for all that enterprise engineering culture does tend to lack somewhat by comparison, it is a world in which the need for work-life balance is generally well respected.

It also, perhaps to the surprise of some, tends much more diverse than startups do, which may suggest that the monoculture problem isn't so much one of tech in general, but rather perhaps of a piece with the drawbacks of startup culture specifically - that perhaps a desire for "culture fit", so called, has even more negative dimensions than are generally acknowledged. After all, when your hiring process explicitly considers whether a candidate is enough like everyone already there to satisfy some nebulous standard of personal comfort...
After a career of developing MVPs, this really clicks with me on a deep level. This site isn't it though. I do think websites and apps need to be built really fast and easily, but they still have to look better.
What's important to note about ICOs is not necessarily whether the idea is actually practical and that it will work.

What matters right now is whether the idea can stir our intellect and get the crowds excited.

This is because behind the idea there's a new token which value is completely driven by the excitement of the crowds (it's pure speculation).

If I invest N amount of money in a token which gets people excited, I will surely get back N + <crowd excitement>.

So it's sort of like a snake that bites its own tail, and we see these crazy prices specifically for this reason. People are not investing hoping for the project to be developed - they're investing because they know others will as well, which will drive the prices up.

ICOs are a new breed in economy where people can speculate, anonymously, using tokens that are distributed to the crowds in various ways (PoW, initial distribution, etc.). What does this mean for our future economy? I'm not sure, but it surely looks exciting (even though most projects behind ICOs are complete crap).

If our future economies will be driven by these tokens, we might think back at this period of time, looking at perhaps the people who will be the %1 of the future.
Not really true. I point whatever thing that talks something like influx to it with the right credentials and it outputs whatever metrics it wants to it. No need to manage/pre-create all your tables for every single possible metric out-there.

I seriously dislike nosql databases for most purposes, and am absolutely a Postgres fan - but timeseries is the only thing I've encountered that benefits from a dedicated schema-less database engine.
Why would you truncate the second half of the second sentence you quoted?
Yes he does. He argues that political diversity is most important

Unlike Bootstrap (and Foundation), UIKit has no statement about the accessibility of what it provides. Some of its JavaScript includes ARIA attributes but who knows if they did it correctly; adding ARIA wrong can sometimes make sites less accessible than if it wasn't used at all.

UIKit has many CSS classes with hover states but not focus states and it's not easy to add them to classes like .uk-hidden because it's not a direct declaration but relies on a parent class. It lacks an equivalent to Bootstrap's .sr-only (visually hide but expose content to screen readers); you can always add such a class yourself but it makes the UIKit framework incomplete. UIKit makes it harder to make a site accessible than if UIKit was not used.

CSS Frameworks are supposed to make the job easier by taking care of problems you're not even aware of; UIKit fails to do that in this respect.

Paper currency is backed by the presumed continued existence and effective taxing and police power of the issuing state.

Wow, git's url bugs always seem to become easily exploitable due to .gitmodules.

I found CVE-2015-7545 a few years ago, a malicious URL using the ext:: scheme could cause code execution. It was only easily exploitable because you can ask the client to fetch any URL you want via git submodules. (This vulneriblity was fixed, and since then the entire ext url scheme was disabled by default.)
I don't see how a new blockchain is necessary in order to utilise unused storage space. Protocols like this work just fine without them, especially if having a centralised orchestrator (filecoin themselves) isn't an issue. Which in this case, I can't see why it would be.

The relative lack of women in the applicant pool is obviously one of the problems that Google and other companies are trying to fix with their various outreach initiatives.

If you take the proportions in the applicant pool as given and unchangeable, then that may not be sexist per se, but it is perpetuating an imbalance that has its roots in sexism on a societal level.

Again, the mere existence of differences between men and women absolutely does not mean that you should expect there to be a difference in the size of the respective applicant pools. That is just bad logic. The argument is the same regardless of whether we are talking about interest or ability.

Sorry to hear that :(. And to be honest - no matter what is happening whether it's sexism or watever the reason. I can understand how horrible that must feel.

40 years ago - Stephanie Shirely did have to sign her name as "Steve" in order to get contracts. If they saw a female name she would not get them. Only 40 years ago - the sexism is still going to be there somewhere in people. But "sexism" could be replaced by many other bias's - culture etc.

The only people who seem less likely to be affected by Bias's and sterotypes are people on the autistic spectrum! Maybe we should be hiring these guys as our managers, seriously.

Nope. At least not to the same extent as in the 90s. Yes, they often have nerdy hobbies or interests but outside of e.g. free software and Linux, there's a fairly wide representation of the same culture as in the US. I'd argue Ruby and JS are almost entirely filled by them (which makes sense considering their popularity is quite recent compared to C, Perl or Python).
