"Learned helplessness" is a thing. If people have been told their entire lives from birth that X is strictly Verboten and they can only answer Y to that question, they may literally be unable to tell you that. They may not really understand it themselves. It may be literally unspeakable and even unthinkable.
Answering what is philosphy is philosophy. And thus, IMO, I am right.

> Philosophy is what academics who work in philosophy departments do.

IMO this is too restrictive. You reduce philosophy to a job title or diploma title. I guess, many philosophers would not agree with this definition.

> I make a strong counterclaim: all progress in philosophy comes from progress in the hard sciences.

I agree that new knowledge and new abilities lead to new ideas and questions and concerns.
But philosophy is not limited to physics or chemistry; IMO the only hard sciences.

Physics and chemistry are hard sections within an open ended spectrum:

- The begin (1D view) or lower level layer (3D view) are unknown. Is string theory correct ? What are strings made of ? Is mental conscious the lower layer ? Is all a simulation ?

- The end (1D view) or upper layer (3D view) are soft science. Like biology, sociology, psychology, economics.

Regarding economics:

If you have such a high hiring bar — and you still get a sexist memo, or vocalised hate-crimes on your platform, or salary suppression, or workers being disallowed from using the bathrooms, or 20,000 employees staging a walk-out because of bonuses awarded to perpetrators of sexual assault... Maybe your a hiring bar is lower than it should be.
It isn't, of course, for the reason already given.

In fact, the Debian people created two extra programs named deb-systemd-helper (with the same enable/disable/mask/unmask syntax as systemd's own systemctl) and deb-systemd-invoke (with the same start/stop/restart syntax as systemd's own systemctl) for performing all of these actions over package upgrades, employing a parallel set of service symbolic link farms.

5 Things to Consider When Hiring a Healthcare Marketing Agency
I'm not sure why you think that women saying they don't enjoy their careers in programming means they are being forced into programming. If you want to measure that, ask them that question directly. Most of the women I know who are dissatisfied with their programming careers have that opinion because (for example) they are constantly harassed and HR does nothing about it, or because people working with them regularly assume that they don't have the intellectual capacity for their jobs and treat them like children, not because they don't like the act of programming; with the way you are proposing to measure preferences, there would be no observable difference between those two things.

Code reviews should not devolve into bikeshedding. That is a problem of people not understanding the purpose and value of code reviews, not a problem with the concept of code reviews. Ignore the issue if it is not important or make a ruling and move on.

If your code reviews find bugs left and right I would say it indicates a deeper problem: Why are there so many easy-to-spot bugs in the first place? The amount of bugs found is definitely not a measurement of success. The purpose of review is to improve overall readability, competence, and code quality to level were fewer bugs are introduced in the first place.

> When it's socially acceptable for a CEO to be a mother and a woman, more women will feel comfortable pursuing a family in addition (rather than in exclusion) to a career.

Unfortunately this is probably going to be an unpopular thing to say, but I've seen how much work goes into both being a CEO and being a full-time parent up close.

(With the caveat of: in the work culture here in the US...) Running a business that employs a significant number of people and having daily, hands-on parent interaction with your child are mutually exclusive. It doesn't matter if you are a mother or a father.

If you want to change this fact, you'll need to start implementing controls on working hours & days like Germany did. You also have to do that knowing that crunch time is one of the competitive market advantages that the US offers.

From your description that sounds like a false assumption to me. It sounds like despite your estimations you didn't give him an answer to his actual question, and so he had to prompt you.

Don't you think it's strange that it's seen as a 'paradoxical' outcome? The modern trend of gender-associated differences being primarily attributed to cultural influences seem unscientific at best and politically motivated at worst, especially when for many years we've had well-documented differences in the male and female brains that are clearly evident in brain-imaging studies. All else being equal, of course there are going to be significant differences in preferences between cohorts divided by gender, and such findings should not have negative consequences so long as we treat people as individuals.
I have never interviewed for Google so wouldn’t know if that’s actually how it goes. But that sounds like how I run interviews myself. I think of myself as a fairly good interviewer, and I’ve accepted people who totally bombed the actual question, but in the way they behaved and talked and thought seemed to be a good fit.

Hiring is hard, and I do think asking hard questions (on any subject really) does show a lot of the candidate...

I think the programmer example is a much better example than the transgender example. If you are ostacized and disciminated for your choice, you are not "free to choose". It's "free to choose" in the same sense that everyone is "free to choose" to commit crime, with the risk of being put into prison for your choice.

The "woman in programming" example is much better. Woman in programming started declining basically the moment computer games entered the market, since computer games are marketed primarily to males (outside of mobile, but that influence is fairly new). If we just simplify the whole problem to this one influence, woman are not programmers because of the marketing of "children toys". Is that bad, something we have to change? Nobody is really prevented from choosing to do certain freetime activities, to get exerience and motivation. They are just notpushed towards it. Still it leads to an unequal outcome.
All anecdotal evidence points to arriving at the correct, optimal solution as being key to passing the interview. It also seems like often times the interviewers are not even going to be working with the candidate so their opinion on a 'working relationship' is mostly irrelevant.

The objective of asking these leetcode style questions is to find candidates who are willing to put in the time to study. Success signals that this person is willing to commit to performing well at something that is reasonably challenging. The end result is that they are trying to hire worker bees. This makes sense as the bulk of work at any large company is largely mundane and relatively routine. I'm willing to bet that when a company wants to hire a two sigma candidate they don't go through all this nonsense, although at that point the candidate is already well known in the industry most likely.
I always liked the idea of having a password entry system where a single observation doesn’t provide enough information to reveal the password [0].

However in addition to creating issues with the secure storage of the password... I don’t think people would be able to use it reliably.

Still, some banks still seem to use the “enter the Nth letter of your password” scheme” which seems almostly equally unworkable...

> browsers are getting more and more performant.

Moore's law is getting us out of a hole. The processing power, and performance per watt on mobile has increase exponentially. Those people who who are stuck on three year contracts feel the pain of this idea. Yes, JS engines are getting faster, but they are being asked to do more and more stuff.

React native is a marvel of engineering, where the bridge intercepts UI calls and diverts them to native. But thats not a webapp, that re-invented version of QT, Wx, tk or whatever java uses.

My point is this: a native app on a underclocked pi zero, can animate UI items at 60FPS. Via a browser, no where near. HTML is many things, but efficient is not one of them. HTML/CSS/JS is a marvel of engineering to get it anwhere near as fast as it is, but its comes from a very slow base.
Why would you want equality of outcomes anyway? It goes against individual Freedom. As long as opportunities are as equal as they can be, the rest is just the reflection of what individuals want to focus on and achieve. Equality of outcomes will force some people to do what they dont want to, which is undesirable on many levels.

Agreed, and the reason advertising is so pervasive literally stepping between us and anything we consume is that markets are saturated with products: too many products compared to potential customers, so that they have to fight to get the first spot between us and their competitors.
People don't look for a product anymore, it's the other way around, and it's not going to stop unless we focus on the real problem which is not advertising but the monster giving it full control: ie our flawed economic system.

> Has Apple security record on electronics been ever broken?

Literally every model of iPhone ever released has been "jailbroken" if that's what you mean. Including of course multiple re-jailbreaks per model when Apple patched the original exploits.

There's an argument that the secure enclave is unhackable, although there have still been ways around it up until very recently (is it finally 100% secure or have the new exploits just not been discovered yet?)

I prefer to work on the assumption that no hardware / software can ever be 100% secure.

But not everyone who has faith agrees with that. You have apologists, theologians, and even philosophers (more so in the past) who argue that the faith can be defended via logic and evidence.

Jewish and Christian scriptures also don't define faith that way, for the most part. The Gnostics would have been more on board.

>He was on a flight that had a layover in Moscow airport, but the US revoked his passport, so he got stranded there until Russia eventually granted him asylum.

Not quite. As another poster stated, Snowden had his passport revoked a day before he cleared security in Hong Kong and boarded the plane to Moscow. The decision to allow him to board the plane could only have come from the top of Russian leadership. US also issued a request to detain him and again, the decision by Hong Kong and Chinese authorities to ignore this request could only have come from high up in the respective leadership chain.

His entire time Hong Kong is mired in controversy and implicates him as a defector (either planned or spur of the moment) - for example his visit to Russian consulate (with Putin himself acknowledging that Snowden met with Russian diplomats). Wikipedia has a good write-up [1].

I've had this discussion on HN several times before. As soon as you start pointing out the contributions of philosophy to various fields, people start denying that the people in question were philosophers. So you really can't win. By this logic, any philosopher who made a contribution to mathematics or science was ipso facto a scientist or mathematician and not a philosopher.
