White supremacists came to my city and killed a woman 4 blocks up the street from my house, and the President's message was "there was violence on all sides". Only one side came to Charlottesville and killed someone. Only one side came to Charlottesville and chanted "Blood and Soil" while holding 200 torches in front of the Rotunda.

Trump explicitly refused to acknowledge white supremacists when asked about it. The questions were shouted out, but maybe he shouldn't call it a press conference if he wants to be the only one talking. This idea that it's all media spin is frankly insulting to anyone personally affected by these domestic terrorists.

He never sent it to Google at large - someone else did that in outrage at his opinion. Just as someone else leaked it from being internal to Google to the media.

> True, but the critical point is that programming is very hard and if you're not the type that's naturally drawn to logic puzzles

Here I am, not that type until my late 30s. I've been programming or trying to since I was 5ish. And most folks who talk to, work with, or have worked for me regard my technical skills quite highly.

If all you want is an endless stream of puzzles with no responsibility or connection to reality, be a professional video gamer. The Minecraft folks, for example.

I tried it for awhile, but I find the life of video gaming without any real responsibility pretty empty.

> I'm just not sure I see the value in trying to engineer interest at such a young age if it doesn't come naturally.

Logic puzzles in a language founded on principle of anti-intellectualism is not software engineering.

Maybe if they made things of issuing tests that's a better idea.

The original "What I believe" was powerful enough that I use it as an opening quotation for "Dating for Nerds" series (first part here: http://p.migdal.pl/2017/07/23/dating-for-nerds.html). That is:

"How to help all the young male nerds I meet who suffer from [the dating] problem, in a way that passes feminist muster, and that triggers the world’s sympathy rather than outrage[?]

I believe that, just as there are shy, nerdy men, there are also shy, nerdy women, who likewise suffer from feeling unwanted, sexually invisible, or ashamed to express their desires."

At the same time, from my experience (including my current relationship with a feminist) that nerds and feminist should be allies. What is a problem is misunderstanding of each other problems and (often intentional triggering) both ways.

Also, here are some lessons I've learnt at !!con (a conference by Recurse Center aka Hacker School alumni): http://p.migdal.pl/2017/08/14/bangbangcon.html

tl;dr: you can get great inclusivity primarily by being welcoming, accommodating for needs (in an open-ended way, not restricting it to a few axes) and, crucially, by not shaming or bulling otherwise good-willed transgressors. And as a male nerd I felt better than on less diverse events, not worse.

First who decides that the ideas are scientific? Quoting poor quality research (psychology professor publishing neuroscience papers in third-grade locations) and forming causal relationships on a whim (testosterone increases attention span, therefore it is required for programming) are not part of scientific research.

In this specifc case many of the "scientific ideas" came from alt-right sources. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/aug/13/james-dam...
If this move were so ingenious, why wouldn't the movie theaters just lower their prices to get more people in the door? Instead, the trend over the last few years has been to increase prices (according to the article).
I did mention more beyond the 3 states. The missing ping is an issue, for example..say you're in the backyard. And the subtle visual treatment of "current state".

I overheard a discussion between my HRG and department head, the discussion was about hiring temporary replacements for female employees who were on maternity leave, the HRG told that approval had to come from the country head and it will take almost 3 months because of a hiring freeze, and each case has to be dealt individually, the HOD was worried at this and said this sort of rules will hurt female hiring, the HRG was schocked to hear those words and remainded him that, all his reportees including him has an appraisal goal for diversity and he doesn't have an option
Right, the studio agreements require theaters to hand over ~100% of ticket prices on opening weekend.

But my understanding is that they can't just stop charging for tickets (or cut prices significantly) "since they're not seeing it anyway"; there are uniform ticket prices in those same agreements that prevent such tactics [1].

If they didn't have minimum prices, theaters could game it with a system like:

Movie ticket: $1

No-poke service: $11

"If you buy our no-poke service, a theater employee won't randomly poke you with a stick throughout the movie, as happens with our discounted tickets. ... Hey, Hollywood studios, we only saw $1 in revenue per ticket, but you're welcome to keep it!"

So, any system like the one in the story would have to renegotiate such agreements or work within some loophole.

Edit: Nevermind, this is why you read the article before commenting: apparently they pay the full price to the theater for you, which is a huge loss that they plan to make up by selling the analytics:

>MoviePass will pay theaters the full price of each ticket used by subscribers, excluding 3D or Imax screens.

>MoviePass could lose a lot of money subsidizing people’s movie habits. So the company also raised cash on Tuesday by selling a majority stake to Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc., ...

>Ted Farnsworth, chief executive officer at Helios and Matheson, said the goal is to amass a large base of customers and collect data on viewing behaviors.

You know, in Seattle there is a rather grand looking statue of Lenin. He was a rather evil guy. Who gets to decide which statue stays and which goes?
I hadn't thought about the lowered prices from non-peak times. Thats a good point. It just seems like the people who would want to pay for a subscription to the movies are inherently people who go multiple times a month. Even a $6 matinee would cost more than their subscription. So how many "non-users" of the service do you need to pay for the "super-users"? I'd say at least 4-5x
> he was working against their efforts to have a more gender diverse workforce

It seems to me like quite a strong statement. Let's say you are doing something using strategy X. I come over and point out, maybe the strategy X is not quite working and you should rather try strategy Y, for these reasons. Would you call this "working against your efforts"?

AFAIK, he didn't sabotage anything, he just disagreed and wrote it up. You don't have to read it, you don't have to switch to strategy Y, you don't have to do anything, you can just not care at all.
I would imagine that there is some deal in place that takes the profit from the local movie theater. Theaters already make most of their money from concessions and only get a portion of the ticket price (I think that on opening weekend theaters give most of the money to the film companies and then the rate goes down the longer a movie is out? I don't know if I am remembering that right) So I wouldn't be surprised if part of this deal is that local theaters don't get any of that $10 a month.

That's a ridiculously absurd notion and it couldn't be further from the truth. I'm not even going to ask you because you've got no evidence for this whatsoever.

It equates exactly to "Choices are bad". Perhaps that is true for marketing purposes but not for solving actual real-life problems. I guess we have our answer now though because "more marketing and less functionality" fits precisely within Apple's modus-operandi.

> Not every patient will be profitable.

No, but no individual plan is ever expected to lose money. If that's the case, you're talking about something that isn't actually insurance.

You're illustrating the original point: when people talk about "health insurance", they're already talking about something that fundamentally is not insurance. If health insurance were insurance in anything but name, then increasing premiums based on expected future risk would be exactly how we would expect health insurance companies to behave.
Eh, peppers are harder than lots of other vegetables. If you have good results with them, you'd have no problem with tomatoes, turnips, onions, radishes, lettuce, etc. I've never grown an "illegal" plant, but you may not be able to generalize from chili peppers to e.g. pot.

That's not what I'm arguing so I don't expect you to come to terms with that. You cannot be moderate and vote for Trump.

I do think you can be moderate and point out that there are certain tactics used by the Left which have been weaponised against them, and that this has been a key driver in support for the alt-right.

> That does not mesh with my reading of the facts
> as presently available at all.

I do not agree that the same set of facts are presently available to all. Even if they were, I believe that most people filter them out due to not wanting to look at the alt-right parts of Twitter.

In any case I did link you to a tweet referencing two instances as an attempt to substantiate what I said. The first demonstrates that alt-right supporters from /pol/ are trying to "get normies onto [their] side" by trying to appear 'peaceful' and 'good' in comparison to their attackers ("and if antifa attack the white families, they're going to look like monsters"). The second demonstrates a time in which @SwiftOnSecurity received a message from a white nationalist trying to incite an offended quote-tweet as a way of maximising the audience of one of their memes.

I can't source it because it was a long while back, but during the election and immediately after it, I also saw various accounts attempting to use instances of left-wing violence at protests to persuade others that they were unfairly threatened or attacked for their beliefs and to try to present antifa as violent thugs. I saw stories about families of Trump supporters trapped at protests and 'fearing for the lives of their children'. I saw photos of Trump supporters violently wounded. Frequently I see the photo of Richard Spencer being punched doubled against a tweet by some out-there radleft implying that anybody righter than them is a Nazi.

I think it's really important to realise that anything you do or say can be turned into propaganda against you.

Edit: The term "concern troll" could be used against me here, so all I ask is for people to evaluate what I've pointed out and decide for themselves whether it's useful or not. My opinion of course is that the alt-right substantially grew in popularity through the techniques I described and that if you care about this you should avoid being part of it.
Weird? For a contentious sermon that allegedly resulted in a person who had been a member for over a decade quitting the church? I doubt it.

Anyhow, a UU sermon that is dismissive of terroristic violence is novel enough that requires a citation. In fact the only thing I could say to generalize about the variety of topics I've heard in various UU sermons is that none of them could possibly be characterized with the word "meh" in the summary. If anything it is the "Church of Anti-meh." And I'm not even a member, so I'm sure I've only heard the tip of the iceberg.

There won't be a snowden for china because china doesn't has pretenses for being "good" or "free" or a "beacon of humanity". China is open about their surveillance and they are open about their censorship.

China's propaganda is rather up front about what it's about. Our propaganda lies/hides about what the state is doing. That's why it is shocking.

> And people like Shen are complicit with their silence.

How are they complicit? They are no more complicit than people who buy "made in china" goods or businesses who invest in china or tourists who flock to china.

> if the data is being made publicly available ... anyone should be able to take and use that data

It isn't being made publicly available in that sense. LinkedIn only offers the data to site visitors (unregistered users) under the guise of a license.

> we are choosing to make our own data publicly available

This isn't true. Putting data on LinkedIn is not making it publicly available, it's sharing a copy of your data with LinkedIn, and allowing them to do whatever they want with it. Those are the terms you agree to when you register.

> Our data shouldn't be what a corporation's profit (or loss of profit) is based on to begin with.

I agree, in an ideal world, but LinkedIn does profit on your data (as do Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc.). And we are willingly sharing our data with them and allowing this to happen. There are all kinds of crappy trends with data and privacy happening, and lots of people raising red flags. Your choice is to not use those services. If you don't want LinkedIn to use your data for their profit, then don't share your data with LinkedIn. If you share your data with LinkedIn, then LinkedIn now has the right to use your data to their own advantage.

The Tulsa County District Court jury of eight women and four men, including at least four black jurors

Jury decisions need to be unanimous, so at least four black people thought this woman was not guilty of manslaughter. A truly outrageous verdict from a truly racist justice system.

I'd also like to point out that, although unarmed, the victim was high on PCP at the time of the shooting, and PCP is nothing to joke about. It causes erratic and often dangerous behaviour.

We do realize their PR tell you that.

What I know, however, is that I've been missioned in Africa by the gate foundation and that most money is wasted. Most stats are bullshitted.

What I know is that Gates have been misbehaving most of his life and that suddenly he is giving so much money he won from this time.

What I see is that a lot of people like you are very eager to forgive everything he has done, all the benefits he got from it, just because he is giving back what he took.

It's because of this that we can't improve our systems. A bit of PR and voila, all misdeeds are forgiven. Bad guys become saints. And people like you will spend their energy defend the story.
>their efforts to have a more gender diverse workforce

The employers are not supposed to discriminate based on gender, race, religion, sexual orientation.

An externally enforced gender diversity is discrimination.

If a company has 100 programming jobs, decides to keep 50 for one specific gender, the company has created discriminatory hiring practice. It has discriminated based on gender.

Damore challenged this discrimination and got sacked. I think he can easily make a legal case for discrimination. If Google had said that they wanted 50/50 gender based representation at the level above Damore's title, then he clearly has a standing. Any male who was denied employment at Google has a standing to know if he was denied because of gender quotas.

Damore's argument is to not take gender into account in hiring practices at all. "Diversity" policies are, at the base of their argument, asking for discriminatory hiring practices.

There is no "diversity" law or mandate. If Google can define a diversity goal for some chosen slicing of the population into groups, may be based on race, may be based on gender, may be based on sexual orientation, may be based on height, and then goes on to seek equality of representation between those groups, then would it OK if some other company define equality based on if you are right handed or left handed? What if someone claims that all major religions should be equally represented in the workforce?

Is the 50/50 split based on gender mean that the company is done with being "diverse"? Which new grouping would then stake claim at equality?

Does Google believe in gender fluidity or do they believe in being cis-gendered? What if male engineers claim to be a female at the time of hiring, claiming gender fluidity, is Google going to get into business of keeping someone honest about what their gender is?

Treat everyone as individual, based on the individuals abilities and choices. Assuming "diversity" goals to ensure equality of outcome by some arbitrary definition of a "group" is by definition discrimination. Individuals, not "group" based on race, religion or gender.

Should Disney be forced to make movies with equal prince and princess lead roles? How about equal number of movies across all religions? Equal number of movies across all races?

Please show me where I am wrong on this. I would like to have correct view on this issue.
There's no reason for him to make a dog whistle reference to The Bell Curve. Even though people don't agree with or like that book, it's not exactly a book that is so scandalous and horrific that you need to dog whistle about it.

If you're going to dog whistle, it's going to be to something so horrific it can't even be discussed with any pretense of academic distance or distinction.

The problem with the "dog whistle theory" though is that only dogs can hear them, so anybody who is not a dog can label anything to be a dog whistle with no real proof whatsoever.
