I think you can relax. Most of these stories are not about subtle or accidental sexism. She says her teammate introduced her as a token female. That's obviously inappropriate, right? I don't think I'd need to monitor my words carefully to avoid saying something so outright belittling to a coworker.

She says team members would openly express that they wouldn't hire women because they would just get married. I don't know about you, but that seems like something obviously dated and wrong. Growing up, both my parents worked, and that was the norm. It's been the norm for a long time. Women aren't new to the work force. So why do people think this? In any case, it should be obvious not to say things like this.

Then she says a professor followed her beck to her room and tried to forcibly kiss her. That's something obviously wrong, right? It should be easy to say "I won't follow and forcibly kiss anyone." That's like good manners 101. Basic stuff we learn in 1st grade.

The sexism described here isn't the sort of thing you'd let slip by accident. There's no double meanings here. It's just bare faced disrespect for women. So please, relax. You don't need to walk on eggshells to avoid being a complete jerk.

And if you still aren't sure how to talk to women, I would take the articles own advice: Try talking to them like a person.
I wouldn't think of someone as "horrible" for not caring what color other people's skin is. That's a testament to the world we're in. If you don't actively and consciously take skin color into consideration, you're a bad person!
I would say that ROI on influencing /r/the_donald subscribers with any amount of propaganda is precisely zero. They are Trump voters, period.

It's like trying to influence NRA members trying to make them think that guns are cool.
A cynical view on things, but, you're probably not wrong. Discrimination is definitely something being treated with a double standard, both actively (like in this case) as passively (like in male rape victims)
Scans don’t cause overdiagnosis. Eager checklist-driven doctors cause overdiagnosis. You will see incidentalomas, how you use that information is not preordained.

Growing up with a mom who was a non-working registered nurse, every time I or my siblings came down with symptoms like fever, nausea, vomiting, etc she almost never took us to the doctor. Instead it was rest and liquids, maybe an aspirin. I would always plead with her that we needed to seek professional medical advice. Now as an adult I realize that she knew too well the limitations of that advice when it comes to most minor maladies people suffer.

And yet today I still see friends and colleagues go to the Dr or call the "teledoc" when they have these symptoms. They usually get an antibiotic (which has its own issues) or told they simply need to rest.
You are answering a point I didn't make. I addressed the stated 'engineering supremacy'.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but attitudes like what you just described contribute to a toxic work culture--people sticking around just because of the money but hating every minute of it. It implies that people there are not just unhappy but will do/say things they don't believe in just to keep the paychecks rolling in.

Working at big companies like Google is not for everyone. Unless you have material reasons for staying--such as funding care of aging parents--wouldn't you be happier and more successful by taking your own advice?

p.s., I don't work at Google and don't ever want to.
Gitlab also will not negotiate on salary at all. I got through to the final round of interviews (round 6 of 7) and then HR let me know they'd changed how they calculated salary for my location, it dropped by $10k. I had wasted my time because at that point the salary was just too far below what I needed, even though I badly wanted to work there.
I don't disagree with the philosophical purpose. Of course by simplifying the facts. You're leaving out the logistics of insurance companies that have to now take that responsibility on. Last I checked they dont work of the sake of goodness.

Better option would be single-payer. I digress...
Honestly, I'm not so surprised. A lot of stuff about employment Google reads like hagiographies. Maybe it was that way in the distant past, but its most notable perks (20% time, etc.) have been cut and it's big and publicly traded now, so rot has definitely had time to set in.
I feel like go-kit is quite antithetical to the Go mindset...it presents a lossy abstraction as a means of future-proofing against eventualities that will almost certainly never be encountered

As an Asian male this article also frustrates me. Google has always been a company I've wanted to work for but if this article is true and Google discriminates against Whites and Asians in their hiring process then they're not the dream company I previously believed they were.
Intent matters? Or at least it used to, as it tempered the debate and kept things civil. Now there is functionally no difference between one honest side of the debate and a Russian troll, so you're point seems valid.
To avoid breaking badly designed programs?
Oh, so that's why Reddit started restricting what sites can be shared on large subreddits. Anything you share on Reddit these days must be from BBC, CNN, NBC, and so on. Only large sites allowed... which is just as bad as Russian propaganda. Instead of the Russian side of events, now you only hear the pro-Western side only.
Even if Reddit isn't mainstream publications like Buzzfeed, Slate, etc. pretty obviously trawl reddit to find fodder for trend pieces and ideas for columns.

It's also basically responsible for the death of BBSes and community forums all around the internet. It's eaten up tons of niche online subcultures.
Oooooh the government of the most benevolent and freedom-loving country in the world is funding a tool to speak anonymously on the Internet! Such a plot twist! And they're not even keeping it secret! How scandalous...

Unless you are fresh from an undergraduate degree, the thing people care about is what you have shown you can actually do in the industry. And showing what you can do will in most cases instantly identify who you are.

As soon as I say what projects I've worked on or what my skills are anyone recruiting me will know exactly who I am.

How do you get around that?
> If they really would care about diversity they could have Google schools in prisons to educate the more motivated and promising inmates in the skills Google requires.

Precisely. Or sending recruiters to Mississippi/Alabama/Louisiana/etc to identify brilliant 18 year olds who can’t go to college because of their socio-economic situation, etc. One can come up with many other ways to directly attack these problems.

But really, most at Google/FB/Apple/etc do not believe there is much of an issue. They just want to appease the media by saying how much they care about diversity, resulting in terribly misaligned incentives all over, resulting in the kind of crazy situations the original linked article describes.
I strongly believe diversity should be solved when students declare their major, and not by HR years later (though I have no idea "how" we could achieve that.

If the workforce of a country in a certain is composed of 80% white male, then having the same representation in your company is NOT wrong.

Hire people that are competent and with who you would enjoy working with. That's it.

"the other way" would imply /r/politics is filled with liberal false propaganda planted by a foreign enemy. Feel free to show any such examples.
Platforms don't just stay used the way they were intended or created to be used. Threads became a wildly successful thing on Twitter, and they embraced the phenomenon rather than fighting against it. That's actually a characteristic of good adaption to trends -- something that Twitter could do far more of.
I think the idea is that domestic organizations operated (for lack of a better word) by US Citizens have an end goal of making the country better for themselves. Russia seemingly didn't care about the end goals, just sowing general discord. Their endgame isn't a better United States, it's a divided United States.
That could have been the original intent, and they may still use that argument, but if so it needs to be squared up with the fact that they relentlessly try and entice drivers to keep driving longer and farther. See: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/04/02/technology/ub...

Turning a function into a string and back is also a reduction in maintainability, as programmers now have to be sure it doesn't use any captured variables or such, in future edits. Using a Uint8Array and integer constants rather than a string and character constants makes the code harder to read. Separating the sorting pass and doing some of it lazily (for good performance reasons) makes the final ordering slightly less clear.

But "completely neglected code maintainability" is definitely unfair. While you made changes that reduced maintainability, you weren't neglectful.
throwaway for obvious reasons.

I work at Square, and there was an interesting presentation in front of the company about diversity efforts. Someone asked our head of diversity (who has since left) what "diverse" means, to which she responded pretty casually "non Asian and non White".

As an Asian male I guess I feel privileged to be lumped in with the White males? I came here with my parents at age 10 with not much, and lived in an attic above a car rental company for a year because it was the cheapest rent we could find. Both parents worked labor jobs for years (i.e. inside a dry cleaner, and inside a factory assembling CD cases).
Thanks to their efforts, I got in a good CS program (my parents couldn't pay for shit, were still poor), and then got a job at Square. It's just kind of weird to hear your entire people get lumped in with the "privileged white males" in front of the whole company like that.

It's always really weird that "Asians" get treated as one homogeneous group in the name of diversity. It's weird because if you are say Hmong, or Cambodian, or from Laos, or Thailand, or Vietnam, or various parts of Southeast Asia, or Bangladesh, or Sri Lanka, statistically you are far more disadvantaged than your "traditional" Asians, like Indians or Chinese or Koreans or whatever. Yet these individuals often become disadvantaged in the name of diversity.

Also for anyone working at Square, can we please stop referring to a candidate as "diverse"? I really hate that term, to describe one candidate as diverse, when it just means non White/Asian/Male.
Something I have been mulling over lately is, how "progressiveness" encodes bias in and of itself.

Let's reason out a (very naive and overly simplistic) thought experiment:

You are BigCo and want to promote diversity. Part of your cultural strategy is nurture a culture that is "progressive". Therefore you implement a litmus test behavioural question that implicitly tests the candidate's attitudes to sexism as part of your hiring procedure.

Enter candidate A and candidate B, both are male.

Candidate A went to IvySchool and studied CS, candidate B grew up in LEDCountry but was #1 national algorithms prize-winner.

Suppose A and B were identical in performance in every part of the interview, save for the "progressive" litmus test. A gave a stellar answer, meanwhile B gave some answer which could be described as being a bit "traditional".

Under these conditions, A would probably get the job for being a "culture-fit".

What interests me though is that being able to speak the same "language" of progressives is correlates with access to education, and access to education is largely coupled to wealth. So here we have a system which is yet again entrenching a power group of sorts, and extrapolating, I see echoes of the institutions which churn out readymade bankers and lawyers.

Now this is all grossly oversimple, and I don't really have any solutions I can propose, but I find the notion of bias in culture fit, even the paradoxically "I am pro diversity" culture to be a curious idea.
I always hoped r/the_Donald had a lot of Russian trolls. The racsism and misogyny there can be crazy and it would make me feel better if it was trolls instead of sincere people

yeah but I think you can't download it back if you need to. I compared the service a while ago and decided not to go with Google for this reason if I remember correctly. I should have taken better notes.
Discussing a rideshare worker's take-home pay as "profit" really accepts the framing of the company. Yes it's technically true that each driver is an independent contractor ("Small Business Owner"), but this designation is a farce without the ability to set pricing. The take-home pay isn't profit in practice, it's wages less unreimbursed expenses.
It's extremely hard to know when someone needs a "why?" link. This is the kind of information that's conditional, which is the hardest part of API docs.

3. This also implies that even getting to driverless cars, Uber will only save 3.37 per hour, not making the business model viable, I would think.

Should be higher. Insurance, energy and maintenance will be cheaper at the scale of Uber's fleet. Driving style might be optimized for MPG. Cars will be available 24/7 with no downtime.
Scans directly cause overdiagnosis.

It's very non-intuitive but scans and tests have the potential to cause more harm than good.

From TFA:

>Overtesting has also created a new, unanticipated problem: overdiagnosis. This isn’t misdiagnosis—the erroneous diagnosis of a disease. This is the correct diagnosis of a disease that is never going to bother you in your lifetime. We’ve long assumed that if we screen a healthy population for diseases like cancer or coronary-artery disease, and catch those diseases early, we’ll be able to treat them before they get dangerously advanced, and save lives in large numbers. But it hasn’t turned out that way. For instance, cancer screening with mammography, ultrasound, and blood testing has dramatically increased the detection of breast, thyroid, and prostate cancer during the past quarter century. We’re treating hundreds of thousands more people each year for these diseases than we ever have. Yet only a tiny reduction in death, if any, has resulted.

>H. Gilbert Welch, a Dartmouth Medical School professor, is an expert on overdiagnosis, and in his excellent new book, “Less Medicine, More Health,” he explains the phenomenon this way: we’ve assumed, he says, that cancers are all like rabbits that you want to catch before they escape the barnyard pen. But some are more like birds—the most aggressive cancers have already taken flight before you can discover them, which is why some people still die from cancer, despite early detection. And lots are more like turtles. They aren’t going anywhere. Removing them won’t make any difference.

>Over the past two decades, we’ve tripled the number of thyroid cancers we detect and remove in the United States, but we haven’t reduced the death rate at all. In South Korea, widespread ultrasound screening has led to a fifteen-fold increase in detection of small thyroid cancers. Thyroid cancer is now the No. 1 cancer diagnosed and treated in that country. But, as Welch points out, the death rate hasn’t dropped one iota there, either. (Meanwhile, the number of people with permanent complications from thyroid surgery has skyrocketed.) It’s all over-diagnosis. We’re just catching turtles.
The last time I tried it was really an ordeal to make it work. I should have taken better note as to why it wasn't a good solution.
I am just reading off internet too. So I may be wrong.

In large indirections (or nesting), there is risk for both depositer and CB. Depositer would have to trust more banks in the chain. For CB nesting means harder to be KYC/KYCC/AML complient [1]. Due to the recent and growing derisking phenomena, nesting is not going to survive.

Eurodollar reads like just another name for correspondent banking, which was also used to escape USA regulations. But no longer works. In 2016, BofA dropped Belize Bank (largest bank by assets) after 35-yrs of relationship with no explaination other than regulatory pressure [2]. And thats how USG get a bank whereever it might be.

Regarding "a dollar balance held in London", unless you mean hard cash, the amount is just a ledger entry in FedWire. So US is very much involved [3].

I was just reading through all their stuff yesterday! It looks promising.
Shouldn't a distinction be made between asserting this for a population vs. for an individual? Yes, for a population it results in overdiagnosis and over treatment. As a personal decision, though, I understand this and will choose how to proceed with that in mind.
Yeah this irony always gets me. Like yeah Cointelpro was "illegal" but also they did it and got away with it regardless. You can say it's illegal but that doesn't change that the intelligence agencies don't care.

I'm with you, this study isn't worth a damn. I have friends that make $200-300 per night (in maybe 8 hours) driving for Uber (after Uber's cut). They'll use, what, $20-30 worth of gas in that time? And the rest of the costs (insurance and vehicle cost/wear namely) are negligible (tax deduction does not indicate real cost). Driving revenue in cities is way off the right of their chart. Seems like just another contribution to bunk "science".
>>How can all companies be employee owned if you need to invest a lot of capital to start a car factory.

You go to a bank (or credit union in this instance) with a compelling business plan and a history of success and get a loan. If the company at some point can't make the payments they declare bankruptcy, the company dissolves and the credit union takes ownership of the company's assets (or what ever was used as collateral) which it then sells off.

Same as real estate deals the people who take the loan legally own the property unless they fail to pay off the loan, then and only then does the property change hands to the loaner.
The third point is definitely wrong. Once you have a fleet of driverless cars, you can optimize their routes to perfection, have almost zero down time, so you would need fewer cars in general. And less liability.

Actually agree. Instead of blaming the Russians the US parties should watch their own campaign ads and realize that they have trained their people to believe any nonsense as long as it helps the interests of "their" party. Of course it's much easier to blame the bad Russians instead of bringing civility and rational thought into their own political system.
Having read about (but not been through) the Google process, the idea is that you get interviewed by people who would be working for and with you, not (just?) people above you. Is that possible here?
> It's eaten up tons of niche online subcultures.

In favor of much higher discoverability (I'd argue); having a common UI and platform helps. Similar to how in a previous age, having vBulletin like a lot of the other online communities helps with familiarity. Reddit adds that you don't need a separate account to interact with a community.
Perhaps. I'm not a homeowner so I have no practical experience here.
Fine and fair enough.

But that scan would be limited to the head and not cover the entire body.

I'm also not convinced that MRIs are a great, general purpose diagnostic tool, if it's not used to diagnose concrete issues. The experience of your friend, who I hope recovered from the tumor not withstanding.

I would say that only applies to the people who try to fix discrimination by using group-identity-based adjustments. I'd think that attempts to fix discrimination that focus on forming shared identity (replacing the old categories) would not be susceptible to the same problems.
