Ok, you're clearly a free thinker, which is nice. I think you mean well.

The problem is, society doesn't care. You're not allowed to mean well in this context. It's like being a heretic during the inquisition, then trying to argue that you're actually the good kind of heretic, the kind that believes in kindness and compassion even though you reject god. It doesn't compute.

Your options are to martyr yourself and be excluded, or conform while trying to be subversive in other ways. The former hasn't worked very well.

Your original contribution was valuable. It was excluded solely for your language. I would recommend trying again, and let readers decide for themselves.

I can't seem to locate articles by Mr. Brooks calling for the resignation on other CEO's who have recently had worse issues.

Happy to read anything from NYTimes or this opinion writer on other tech CEO's.
By and large the people outraged about this are the crazy men's rights, reactionary, Trumpist, Alex Jones mob that have been looking for things like this to be outraged for the past 30 years.

Everyone wants to be a victim. Damore isn't a victim of anything but bad judgment. If he's hero of the mob, so what.
Gender differences in toy preferences have been observed as early as two days after birth, arguably before any supposed conditioning has been able to take place.

From : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2583786/

"Male monkeys, like boys, showed consistent and strong preferences for wheeled toys, while female monkeys, like girls, showed greater variability in preferences. Thus, the magnitude of preference for wheeled over plush toys differed significantly between males and females. The similarities to human findings demonstrate that such preferences can develop without explicit gendered socialization."
There's no line. It's a huge grey area, like any other skillset. The person you described did work on the front and back-end.

This is an argument about semantics.
Well, at least a storage-backed crypto currency can offer some intrinsic value. That's much less stupid than burning electricity purposelessly.

On the technical side, I find it doable. Unless they actually try to implement it "on the blockchain". Given blockchain transaction rates, by the time you'll download your porn, you will not need it anymore.

Of course we can ask, how big is the market for cold storage? On the other hand, how big is the market for gold?

It isn't about the "hissy fit" an employee threw.

The resignation would be because of Sundar's intellectually dishonest characterization of the memo, and his subsequent handling of the situation.

I don't know if he should resign, but I do think he fucked up in his handling of this situation.

And yet, and yet.. You can find research to show that men occupy a wider spread than women in the bell curve. We also
have a stunning lack of female outliers throughout history. Coming from a conventional social sciences starting point the usual response to this fact would be to blame patriarchy. I suspect it's more to do with the fact that evolutionary pressures have forced men to compete for resources, and thus selected out the less forceful, whereas women have not been subjected to anywhere near the same competition. But with that we are in the realms of unproveable, theoretical speculation, just as we are when we talk about patriarchy.

That's what paywalls are.
But they would not make any money via ads from me anyways. I never click ads unless I do it accidentally by mis-clicking. So even with disabled adblocker I'd just lower their CPC (cost per click). So it costs them nothing to let me read their website with adblocker and there a tiny possible upside from me referring more traffic to them.

Either way I assume people like me are a fast growing part of millennial population so their business model based on ads is doomed to fail anyways.
I truly do not trust Braintree as a secure payment service.

As a company, they host an asinine number of public events at their 100+ person meeting hall at Chicago's Merchandise Mart. To get to that hall, you have to walk about 200ft past all of their workstations and meeting rooms. Infrastructure diagrams and unlocked workstations are pretty much everywhere.

Sure, they do a few things to mitigate the risks of people who come in by requiring sign-ins and presumably cameras everywhere, but it still feels very surreal to be a few meters away from having potential access to a large payment processor's infrastructure. I've seen at least one person there who was very clearly using a burner laptop.
If you are trying to improve working conditions, and in doing so creating a hostile working environment, your employer is obligated to fire you. If they don't, they can be sued by other employees.

And let me tell you, while you may not feel that this memo has created a hostile working environment, a lot of other people do. Google would drown in lawsuits if they let him stay on.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Richard Rogers has applied an even more extreme philosophy on some of his buildings (I'm thinking specifically the Pompidou Centre and the Lloyds building) where he put all the HVAC ducts etc. on the outside...

In the UK, the National Trust did a series of tours across Brutalist buildings a year or two ago, and I was lucky enough to get on three of them: the Park Hill estate in Sheffield, the University of East Anglia, and throughout and behind the scenes at the Southbank Centre. Very interesting to see how the building designs and materials have stood up (or not) to the test of time.

As I understand it, the problem with "concrete cancer" as they call it is more likely to happen with some concrete mixes than others. It particularly affects a lot of Modern and Art Deco buildings in the UK from the 30s. I expect it depends on the climate too.

I digress badly, but if you're not already familiar with them you might enjoy Frank Lloyd Wright's Textile Block houses, such as the Ennis House and La Miniatura.
You can't automate the "writing software" part, but yeah. I voluntarily avoided talking about automation because that seems out of scope for "Full Stack Developper" which seems to mean (to me): "someone who knows how sh*t works and computers are not magical". And automation is more in line with sysadmin stuff than dev stuff.

A great deal of the land west of the Misty Mountains was old Beleriand, which was the major battlefield of the War of Wrath between the Valar and Melkor (of which Sauron was merely a lieutenant to). As far as Mordor, I believe that the way those mountains are are as old as Time, since Shelob moved there sometime in the First Age after escaping from Ungoliant (her mother)

I have noticed that blocking scripts makes the pages of most local television stations break.

But then I look at the list of 50 different domains blocked on the page, and I am not sorry--not one little bit. I don't really need to watch your little news video that badly. And I certainly don't want it to autoplay.

They are by far the worst offenders among sites I am likely to encounter frequently, as destination links from aggregators and social media. Newspaper sites are far more well-behaved with respect to their scripts, but also more likely to directly monetize the page view.

The more free the genders are, the more they tend to polarise on certain careers.

Since they tend to pursue what they prefer.

I'm all for having no blockers for people choosing what careers they want. However people will move towards there preferences, and there preferences will be set either by nature or culture.

Are we reading the same text? He says:
Stop restricting programs and classes to certain genders or races. These discriminatory practices are both unfair and divisive. Instead focus on some of the non-discriminatory practices I outlined.

How is this "advocating restricting programs that reduce the massive gap in distributions"?
What was your impression?
I would go ahead and say because men are just not interested in those careers as much as women. That's the whole point. And that is fine.
Extreme beliefs manifest themselves in extreme behavior.

If you so blindly believe in the diversity of skin color or gender while neglecting the diversity of ideas, I am rather sure that says a whole lot about you as a person and as a company. That, in my opinion, is the only PR they deserve.
Why is that? David Brooks has been a conservative editorial commentator for a long time there.
Objectively these careers are less well paid.

My company, https://TalkJS.com, makes a pluggable messaging component. Customers embed it in an iframe, created by a 3rd party (from their perspective) hosted js file. Currently, it doesn't rely on cookies for security but we easily might change that.

> Any argument that suggests a treatment should be applied to group X, but not to group Y, is therefore automatically invalid.

Exactly. So you are 100% in agreement with James.

>Anyone who disagrees with this disagrees with the most fundamental axioms of modern society. Yes, I realize there is an ongoing revolution happening of people that feel that this axiom is wrong, and they should get an advantage over other groups, but I disagree with that fundamentally.

Again, that is exactly what James is saying, and I have quoted him a number of times now whereas you have not provided a single instance of him saying the opposite.

If you think he is not saying that, then what we have is disagreement in analysis.

On a more meta level, you seem to think that because you profess adherence the correct beliefs, the right "Axioms", you are freed from the burdens of proper analysis. I remember that very vividly from my classes at Uni in Germany, for example an essay writing class where a significant number of my fellow students thought that they would be graded on the "correctness" of the opinion they had penned, rather than the quality of the essay. So they handed in essays that were absolutely embarrassing. "Gesinnungsästhetik"

I would suggest the following exercise for you: take an opinion you absolutely disagree with. Then write an essay supporting that idea. Make it as good as you can. Then write another one tearing it up. Then another one tearing that one up.

>They argue that, "There is a marked difference in outcome in this particular field and that difference may have something to due with the differences between men and women."

That is not an argument. It's speculation.

>You are trying to argue (it seems) that the difference in outcome in tech is due entirely or primarily to social factors. If that's the case, the burden of proof is on you to show that alternative hypotheses don't apply

The burden of proof is on anyone who claims to know why there are fewer women than men in tech. It doesn't apply exclusively to people with one particular opinion on the matter, as you seem to think it does.

If you look at other fields, radical shifts in gender balance have occurred quite frequently over the past few decades. And women keep telling us about sexism in tech and how it dissuades them from participating in it. And there are far more women in equally geeky fields like, say, mathematics. So it's not really that hard to figure out what's going on.

>For myself, I've seen arguments that a pretty convincing case (from statistics and known biological factors) for the "interest" hypothesis

Then please reveal these arguments so that they can be evaluated.
Even 'punitive actions' would have been wrong as their is no punishable offence. Google supposedly wants to have an open culture so they should just have accepted the 'manifesto' as part of this open culture, something to use in discussions on the subject matter. Any other reaction - and certainly the current reaction - only goes to show the truth of the accusations about Google not having an open culture.
In other words, a "Brutalist" website would look like a website from 1996. Which I dig, because I dislike the fancy stuff.
I can certainly understand your opinion and I appreciate you having taken the time to respond to my post. I feel that perhaps we are coming at this from different positions and life experiences thus the discrepancy on how we are interpreting the memo. I can absolutely understand how you view the memo and why it would cause you concern.

I took from the memo that he disagrees with the way Google implements racial and gender quotas as opposed to hiring people based solely on a persons technical skills. I feel that he is seeking to explain the gap in the number of female engineers using what he perceives as a biological basis. If this is biological difference is true or not, I have no idea.

I don't see where he states anything along the lines of that men are all better engineers just that there are more male engineers and possible reasons for this. He appears to feel that artificially inflating the ratio via deliberate selection is not the way to go. There is absolutely a gender imbalance in computer science but it starts before the hiring process, less than 15% of CS graduates are women. Why this is fact I don't know but it is.

My overall takeaway was not that he was advocating for discrimination rather it was quite the opposite that everyone should be judged on their own merits based on individual abilities, not on the perceived abilities of gender or the need to meet false quotas that in turn discriminate against others. Good policy does not pull people down to the lowest level, it should lift all to the highest levels.

I do understand your concern regarding sexism though and absolutely agree it should be stamped out at every level. People should be judged on who they are, not what they are.
I am minded to agree. And that's a shame, because Pichai has done good things for Chrome and Android when he was leading those.

The article doesn't really touch on Pichai's biggest mistakes here.

Mistake one: Damore's memo alleged discrimination, both against men and conservatives. Gender and political affiliation are both protected classes in California and they just fired him for whistleblowing. He has now filed a complaint with the NLRB. This seems like a legal headache that a better CEO could have avoided by not firing the guy. Put him on the roof or something, wait for things to blow over, find some other solution but the moment they fired him, they set themselves up for this.

Mistake two: Google shareholders asked at the last shareholder meeting if it was true that Google was a hostile work environment for conservatives (or words to that effect). They assured shareholders that this wasn't true. Clearly that answer has problems. Employees are leaking like crazy to Breitbart of all places that Google is extremely hostile to conservatives. I don't know what happens if leadership misleads shareholders in these sorts of questions, maybe nothing. But it can't be good.

Mistake three: Google managers have been publicly announcing within the firm that they are blacklisting employees for not being sufficiently pro-feminist or even for just questioning the policies or the mob reaction to it. There are screenshots of this along with interviews, again, on Breitbart. This seems like a fantastically unhealthy culture that Pichai has allowed to grow on his watch. I have heard from other Googlers that in one incident, a manager claimed he'd blacklist anyone who was subscribed to an internal mailing list for discussion of conservative viewpoints, and then when people objected, that he'd blacklist them too (so they couldn't transfer to his team). Again this seems like a cut/dried case of discrimination against people of certain political affiliations.

Mistake four: this debate is happening because Googlers are furiously attacking each other through leaks to the press. This is happening in both directions: the original leak was clearly intended to get Damore fired and publicly shamed, now others are leaking screenshots of internal communications and Pichai's emails. Pichai has quite clearly lost control of his own workforce to a staggering degree.

How much more of Google's guts spilling out onto the street will shareholders tolerate?
I think the broader point is that Tgres is generally focused on computing regular aggregations. Once you do that aggregation, you lose significant information about the relation between data collected at the same time, which eliminates your ability to ask a variety of questions. For some basic dashboarding/monitoring applications you don't need this, for other applications you absolutely do.

So, it's pretty common in Timescale to store raw data in one hypertable (with a shorter data retention policy), and aggregations in a separate table (with a longer data retention).

Regarding native storage, the insert rate really goes down as your table gets large, e.g., Timescale gets 20x higher throughput than PG: https://blog.timescale.com/timescaledb-vs-6a696248104e

I don't see a reason this wouldn't apply to Tgres' use of native storage as well...but once you do aggregations (say, per minute), your tables are just much smaller (only 525K minutes / year), so it perhaps matters less.
> The firing has been a PR disaster

In the sense that it's an argument both sides want to have. The left want to argue for better workplace treatment of women, while the right want to argue for speech without social repercussions.

I also believe it was the correct move. But not because he wrote it, but because what he actually said in it. He made many generalizations that contribute to gender inequality and never backed any of those statements up with any scientific data. Thus, it could be reasoned that he clearly displayed his own biases and showed that he is a contributor to gender inequality.

Furthermore, the PR backlash against his firing is far more news worthy if it was "wrongful" and he has gone on a media tour acting as the "victim". I am not sure news outlets would approach the firing objectively.
