I don't associate with this stalker, I've blocked them from my contacts, moved away, told my friends about them, and I still experience moments of anxiety associated with their incessant invasion of my personal space, and the fact that they conspire with other stalkers to build the most complete profile of me possible.

Even at this point, he would likely be easily able to get another engineering job if he wished. So I think you are vastly overstating the damage to his career. For sure, if he had admitted he was wrong or at least naive, and shut up about it, he'd have no problems at all. By doubling down on his statements and participating in lawsuits against Google, he's making himself less and less attractive to future employers. But you severely overestimate the impact this will actually have on his prospects.

But if we're talking about consequences of his actions, what about all the women whose careers he was advocating for destroying? Who, had he continued to work at Google, would have felt entirely unwelcome, untrusted, and unrespected? What is the impact on their careers when they face constant questioning of their very legitimacy merely because of their sex?

I really like the results of bathroom cleaning with vinegar but I end up with a very raw-feeling throat and sore eyes afterwards. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong.
It’s not good to wash your foreskin with soap.
I think there's also an aspect of people's expectations changing. Twenty or thirty years ago, no one expected new software to run on a ten-year-old computer and no one expected Windows software to run on a Mac or vise versa. (Linux was pretty far outside the mainstream.)

Now, we have a proliferation of computing environments, and it's hard to give people generic advice about how to install and use a tool that would apply equally across all those various environments. Browser standards seem to be the one thing that's relatively common across platforms, so a lot of that stuff moves online.
It’s a core assumption that when it comes to employment, men and women are generally similar at a cognitive level and equally well suited to different white-collar professions. We adopted that presumption as a protective mechanism, when we came out of a long period of invoking pseudo-scientific ideas about differences between men and women to justify sexism.
>could we say that a high calorie diet can maintain or accelerate diabetes.
Yes we can say that. But we can say the same about an isocaloric diet and a negative balance diet of 5 or 10% deficit. It is better said as the paper did.
There was a confusingly-written part that I've seen a lot of people misinterpret in that particular way. My understanding of what he was trying to argue was this:

Imagine you have a skill-based RPG, where you gain skill in some task only by doing it and men and women are completely identical in every single way. Now imagine that more women enjoy alchemy, but more men prefer to spend their time mining. In this game, because of how skill gain works, if you look for really talented alchemists, most of your candidates will be women, even though the sexes are every bit as good as each other.

If Damore was really concerned about a lack of ability to "start conversations", then he should've approached his memo with a shred of humility. He decries Google's diversity efforts but does little to suggest he's done much research into that topic itself. In fact, he barely mentions their specific programs at all.

Here [1], by the way, is an interesting overview of diversity programs. It mentions that voluntary diversity training (contrasted with mandatory training) is among the more effective tools for this. IIRC, it was Damore's attendance of such that got him all riled up.

Edit: here's the link:

Would you kindly provide a source for this? Preferably from the memo itself?
Can you point to anywhere in his memo where he claims that men and women's cognitive level is different? Again I have read this quite a few times and I don't see it.

So can you point me to exactly where he claims that?
I don't think machine washes are gentler on clothes. Maybe gentler than the traditional whack-against-a-river-rock technique, but certainly hand-washing is generally less physically abusive than a machine wash, in my experience.

The interviewer or whoever should provide the context. Otherwise it’s a pointless question.

The issue is when they don’t provide context and expect you to list off some random framework or something.

> you can chose to get a full copy of the data (and be responsible for pulling updates)

Even if you could make the general setup and maintenance incredibly easy somehow, just syncing the map data from osm regularly would require decent hardware: the extra cost of each dev doing this themselves just doesn't compare to using a central tile host.

On top of that, if every dev was regularly updating their own OSM data, OSM would have a lot of extra strain on their data download servers to deal with. Not sure if this could be comparable to the hardware overhead of providing a tile hosting service though.
Reading the comments in this thread is disheartening. It mostly consists of either false claims of what Damore actually said or pre-conceived interpretations of his memo as being anti-diversity without a single, not a single reference to his memo.
It's a despicable thing to destroy someone over an idea, despite the contents of that idea.

I think tech workers are easy targets. For instance, we've all heard about the need for diversity in tech, but never hear about accredited investors being < 6 % female and < 1 % black.
Based on your comments it's quite clear that you either did not read his memo or do not understand statistics. Secondly, even if you take the most egregious possible interpretations of every sentence he wrote and try to take them out of context as much as possible to put them in a bad light, the national outcry is still completely unnecessary and disgusting. Fine, fire him, but he's about as meek and mild as they get, not some David Duke monster. He should've never made the news.
This is correct. The National Labor Relations Board issued an Advice Memo, declining to prosecute a case under the federal National Labor Relations Act.

Damore's California lawsuit, which per the first page of the complaint, lists the below causes of action under various California laws, is unaffected.

CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT:

1. Violation of Cal. Labor Code § 1101

2. Violation of Cal. Labor Code § 1102

3. Workplace Discrimination on the basis of Gender and/or Race in Violation of FEHA

4.Workplace Harassment in Violation of FEHA

5.Retaliation in Violation of FEHA

6.Retaliation in Violation of Public Policy

7.Retaliation in Violation of Cal. Lab. Code § 1102.5

The use case would mainly be driving, but thanks for the tip! I hadn't heard of it yet.
I did read it. They might have other method issues, but not that one you mention. In this analysis the did not focus on insulin secretion or sensibility.

You are right in a sense. The authors used to say that it does not matter what you eat, as far as is a lot of caloric restriction. That was back in 2016, when I interviewed them. I hope now they will disagree if someone comes with a 800 calorie diet made of sugar only.
Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out!
There was no court involved in this yet. This was the opinion of a lawyer at the National Labor Relations Board that they should not take up Damore's case.
You just described the opposite of intuition.
Out of all the natural, aluminum-free options I've tried, I like Truly's All-natural deodorant(1): it smells nice (light coconut smell), lasts all day, and noticeably reduces perspiration.
I've been using it for more than two years and have no complaints, other than that applying it is slower than the stick-based deodorants.

Definitely worth a try.

General harrasment, not sexual one. Women are significantly more likely to experience sexual harrasment. This is what this research states.
I agree with you, although I had never heard of Stefan Molyneux until that interview came out, and I wouldn't be surprised if Damore hadn't either. He was probably really glad to be able to speak his mind, and may not have realized what he was doing. I'm definitely giving him the benefit of the doubt here, a position which I admit is somewhat undermined by him (apparently) tweeting out Breitbart articles.

I listened to most of his interviews tho, and he didn't sound alt-right to me at all. He sounded pretty Libertarian/Classical Liberal (he describes himself as a Classical Liberal)

The two statements they mentioned specifically were:

> Women are more prone to “neuroticism,” resulting in women experiencing higher
anxiety and exhibiting lower tolerance for stress, which “may contribute to . . .
the lower number of women in high stress jobs”;

> Men demonstrate greater variance in IQ than women, such that there are more
men at both the top and bottom of the distribution. Thus, posited, the
Employer’s preference to hire from the “top of the curve” may result in a
candidate pool with fewer females than those of “less-selective” tech companies.
He is writing it as feedback (which was encouraged by the HR team) to the very people who set up the program, why on earth would he need to do mention that specifically? He wasn't writing it to you.

Say the site has an XSS vector, but the site owner has taken the reasonable precaution of putting in a Content-Security-Policy that would disallow XSS from injecting <script> tags; this would seem to poke a hole in that protection. (Unless, perhaps, similar protections where applied to CSS, but I don't think most people expect CSS to do this; the attack outline in the article was novel (and clever) to me.)
Given that people are urbanizing, urban densities are increasing, family units are shrinking and people love convenience, I believe the end-game is people living in apartments without kitchens and eating out or eating takeaway food most of the time. This would save a lot of waste as well as carbon waste through supermarket shopping trips. In the future, a kitchen will be seen as a luxury... after all, who has time to shop, cook and clean?

Full disclosure: founder of Infinite Food - http://infinite-food.com/ :)
I work two jobs. I work 60 hours a week. I still find time to go to the gym 6 hours a week and walk my dog 6 hours a week. You know how I do it? I don't binge watch Netflix. In fact I don't watch any TV at all. I make exercise a priority.

I'm not sure there is anyone who "can't find a moment to have a minute of rest in their lives". The busiest people I know are also some of the healthiest. Not having time is a poor excuse at best. The vast majority of those in poverty who "can't afford healthy food" do not work, or do not work more than 20-30 hours a week. They have ample time to exercise. (Body weight exercise is free, I might add - as is walking.)
The broader ecosystem doesn't seem to think so. All kinds of software like Atom, VSCode, the desktop Slack client, Discord, etc are all just Electron or React apps wrapped in native installers and launchers.
I will suggest that people who want it with a view may be a small number, but probably a well heeled group. That absolutely does not make the radar of people on a budget. So if you build it, you might be able to charge a membership fee.

I've read a bit about APLs and I've seen them popping up in HN a few times. They do seem incredibly awesome and the products around it (K/KDB+ etc) amazing.

However, in case I ever felt like learning one of these, I'd always wanted to know: the syntax crazyness, "a la brainfuck", is it a feature? a bug? Is it really needed? Can't they make an APL "look like Python" but using the same concepts, etc? Or is it "a thing" / something ultra-core to these languages, to be extremely terse / cryptic and intensely dense (each line packs a ton of punch!)?

e.g. just read http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/didot.htm and some of the stuff in there can be translated quite well:

i. 5 --> list(range(0, 5))

i. _5 --> list(range(0, 5))[::-1] or list(range(4, -1, -1))

i. 2 _5 --> [list(0 + j, 5 + j)[::-1] for j in range(0, 10, 5)]

P.S. any pointers to content / books about the philosophy and ideas behind these programming languages are welcome! :D
You should not "K-hole" with a clinical dose.
the very first person Damore engaged after his firing was Stefan Molyneux, who is undeniably alt-right.

I try to avoid Molyneux as much as possible. Keep in mind that the term "alt-right" is overloaded terminology. Roaming Millenial has a video where she outlines 4 broad categories of "alt-right." Not all of them are White Supremacist. Molyneux, I would just categorize as a very cultish Libertarian. Molyneaux should be rejected because of observations of his actual morality, with regards to questions of free inquiry. You might know additional bad things about him. However, it's "insipid" (your word) to judge James Damore's ideas based on association.

It's also insipid to suggest that being gay or Jewish precludes being alt-right

Just as insipid to put Gad Saad, Dave Rubin, and Steven Pinker into that category, based on what they say and the positions they take. The fact that they are gay or Jewish should at least get you to question the narratives pushed by media and take into account their actual positions. Hint: The narratives with regards to those 3 are false, and are unprincipled attempts to silence through association, probably because the critiques and information they supply pretty much demolish those narratives.

What would that make Milo Yiannopoulos?

Milo is, as far as I can tell, genuinely is anti Alt-Right, where that term encompasses the more radical 3/4ths of Roaming Millenial's categorization. He may well line up politically with some segment of the online community which rejects identity politics, but which is still far right. He also displays a problematic morality as evidenced by some of his actions. In my estimation, he's half activist and half opportunist.
> He decries Google's diversity efforts but does little to suggest he's done much research into that topic itself.

I take it you either didn't read the memo, or read the version of the memo with all the references removed (Gizmodo, Buzzfeed, and surely others)

He literally says that those hiring practices can lower the bar.

Sure, maybe he's saying that the bar for white/Asian men is higher than intended rather than that the bar for women and minorities is lower than intended, but you can't honestly argue that he isn't saying that women and minorities could be clearing a lower bar than white/Asian men.
> idiotic "collusion" story

While the investigation is not complete, already one Trump campaign member has plead guilty with his specific statement of the offense attached to the plea being all about collusion with the Russians.

Collusion is no longer in dispute, only the details and extent.
On the other hand, as someone for whom the smell of vinegar or anything vaguely sour/acidic causes much discomfort (sometimes, almost to the point of wanting to vomit), I'd choose the fabric softener smell. Of course the best is no smell at all, but I'd bet there's a good reason that those products smell the way they do, and not like something else.
Note that there are differences in certain abilities (most famously mental rotation) that are known to be affected by sex (male and female babies already perform differently). Now mental rotation isn't exactly relevant to software engineering, but there are other biological traits such as autism spectrum disorders that are anecdotally beneficial for software development. It wouldn't surprise me if there were a correlation between sex and programming ability.

However, the number of skills required for software development is quite large and any correlation is likely to be very small. Additionally, there is no a priori reason to assume that the average woman isn't better suited to it than the average man, since there are lots of other effects that could drown out an underlying difference in ability.

So Damore is technically correct, but that doesn't really matter in the end because he doesn't show that effect sizes are large enough to support his conclusions against the policies he opposes (whose evidence is also pretty weak).

It's actually cheaper to fly in to the cheapest center. Ketamine as a drug is safe and cheap. Probably somewhere around $5 a vial. But the doctors are taking a risk with their license and you they have to put an IV in you.
Except what you said about social constructs in your comment isn't argued in the memo, hence you're now projecting about "selective interpretation."

Nobody is saying this isn't in context to hiring policies - that's your straw man. Damore was arguing that women were not in engineering and leadership positions because of preferences and biological abilities (in support of his memo's argument about hiring policies). The latter of which there is no evidence to support.

Stefan Molyneux is not alt-right where do you get that idea from?

Milo was one of the most hated people by the alt-right, his husband is black, how much more do you need for him to most probably no being alt-right?.

I refuse to believe that anyone who sincerely and honestly spent any time looking into the actual opinions of Milo, Ben Shapiro, Molyneux etc and not just cherry-picked soundbites would make such claims about them. Milo is extreme in his provocations but he is hardly anything close to alt-right.

I certainly don't agree with everything these guys have to say but I would urge you to actually listen to what they are trying to say before you judge them.

This is one case where the libertarian argument that governments are fundamentally coercive works against you.

That doesn't at all prove your claim that he "basically asserted that women engineers didn't belong at Google".
There might be an interesring underlying problem here which you are trying to solve, but not addressing explicitly. Perhaps humanity is, for the first time, entering a period where it is possible for corruption to go un-checked. If you look at history, go back a bit and it could be described as just groups of people teaming up to kill each other. Over history, the trend was generally towards larger groups. Now the group is nearly as large as possible (global), and there's no threat to the group. So the interesting problem is that those with power over the group now have no incentive to keep the group's evolutionary fitness level high--maybe their incentive is even to decrease the group's fitness? Looking at examples in the article and in the comments, it's hard to believe this is never the case. We know the War on Poverty, Drug War, War on Terror, and other efforts have intentionally been designed to not solve the problems they were tasked with solving (poverty, drug use, and terror have not measurably dropped due to those efforts, despite trillions spent).

So when you say it "should be" you are advocating perhaps a difficult path for humanity. I personally would like to see humanity try to go down that path of improving our evolutionary fitness over our environment, but maybe to do that we need to recognize this inconvenient truth. I don't see how these things you mention change, otherwise.
