Which you can establish by having a non-musical person (commonly HR person in tech) have an independent screening 1st phase interview.

In theory, such a person should be better suited to such evaluation too: it's not uncommon to have psychology majors in HR departments, for instance.

And finally, once you find someone is detrimenal to the team (the orchestra), you can still fire them (I know it might be harder).

Honest question, how does it work if you are trying to have a good balance man/women in your team? Especially in IT trying to keep a good mix and avoid man only teams? Is this kind of advise even “safe” to ask these days?
Went through a similar experience like hers many years ago working for a consulting company. In big corporations, it sometimes feels like there are many little smaller companies within. Often they have very distinctive and rigid cultures which could make one feel like you're just a cog in the system, and because they are so big it's difficult to make any significant individual contributions that could generate real impacts. You either fit in or you don't. Besides, the corporate culture is usually being dictated and passed down from higher level management executives who are not really involved in your office day-to-day so it could feel a little foreign at times.

I used to work at a big oil company where its culture was obsessed with safety and they took it very seriously. It's actually a good thing and I get it if you're one of the workers at an oil extraction site because those jobs could be very dangerous. However, we were just the business operation team working in an office located deep inside the city. We still had to follow the same corporate culture and rituals about safety, so without fail every week we had to conduct meeting where team members would discuss various topics related to safety. Since none of us has actually ever worked down at the oil fields, we slowly ran out of topics over time and people started telling random stories like tripping on electrical wires, spilling hot coffee while they were driving, etc... I think it's such a perfect example of how some passed down cultures could feel a bit foreign at times, depending on which unit or team you belong to. Great company though!
When consumers decide that Apple products are no longer worth a significant premium for their design, their ease of use and the company’s acknowledgement of the existence of such a thing as user privacy (and I sincerely doubt this will happen for a very long time, if ever), they will stop selling so many products and their market share will shrink and so will their market capitalization.

As someone who dislikes Apple, you’ll be pleased to know that their stock price could go all the way back down to levels as low as the ones that obtained before Steve Jobs returned as CEO. In fact, their shares could hypothetically go all the way to zero as the company failed completely.

Even in this preposterous (and tremendously implausible) scenario, Apple would be a company that failed as it tried to sell physical products and continued to go to battle for the privacy rights of its users.

And this is the company that disgusts you? Not the ones who profit by using dark patterns to monetize every misbehavior and bad habit of their users?
> Airlines have no choice

Anecdotal: I know of at least one family that booked a trip on a non-Boeing airline, at additional cost, to avoid risking being on a Max.

Imagine that after the Max is back in service, that there is a serious incident in the first few months - it doesn't have to be fatal, just a close call of some kind - how many more customers will avoid the Max at all costs?
The difference is that in tech you have a choice and in medicine you don't.

EVs will eliminate engine noise, they won't eliminate tire noise (fewer, lighter cars may) or aerodynamic noise (fewer, slower cars will). It will be a big improvement, but it will not take care of the problem; living at a major road will still be terrible. [1]

EVs don't appreciably reduce CO2 in the atmosphere, you need clean electricity generation for that. I'd hesitantly agree that they're going to be a part of a long term solution.

It's not a great one, but I think I can understand her response... I feel like she's between a rock and a hard place here. If you're accused of blatant dishonesty for someone else's work and demanded an explanation... would you make it appear as if you yourself were dishonest when you weren't, without mentioning someone else was involved? Wouldn't that itself be dishonest (and I'd argue unfair)? It's much easier when the company is the target, when you can just blame it on an error and move on, but I can't think of a much better response honestly when your name is the one personally on the hook, which it appears to have been here. What would you say instead?

Yes, that's what I said. The artificial behavior would be fine if the pilots actually knew it was artificial and how it was being done. That lack of understanding and training is the critical error, made worse by a poorly designed system that failed too easily.
True, although I don't think most mathematicians are really at that level. I think the common perception of mathematics being a young person's game is not just based on the top-level people, but on everyone, and while all mathematicians are certainly smart (-er than average?), most are not at the "if one thing is off they won't be the next Newton" level.

I moved with my family from Romania to Germany 3 years ago. My kids now speak German fluently. They speak it to each other and Romanian to us. Their Romanian grammar is starting to deteriorate and they are using German rules and mot-a-mot translations when speaking Romanian. Myself on the other hand, can barely speak any German. I understand quite a bit, but I don't have the confidence to speak it.
My kids had to speak German at school and KG and they didn't care about making mistakes. I could use English anywhere, actually at my workplace English is the official language. And if I am not convinced that what I am going to say is correct, I just switch to English.
I learned English in my early teens (10-15) by watching cartoons, HBO, and the Discovery Channel without subtitles, and by playing videogames and using the computer in a time when Romanian was not available as an interface language. Today pretty much every operating system and app is available in Romanian, but I still use them in English. They just sound / look weird otherwise.
tnx. worked!

It's a sad story that the East German Stasi and Communist party thugs avoided any type of punishment for their actions.

They should've been arrested, tortured, crippled, blinded and thrown on the streets to beg so the people that suffered their action can spit on them at will.
The entire premise of "complete breakage" and "nightmare" is unrealistic. No competently architected project universally includes select(2). There is no reason to have random invocations of the call all over the place. Are you prepared to setup the timing, signals, the fully elaborated errno switch handling every error, including finding a bad file descriptor on EBADF to toss for a reinvocation, or how to continue after EINTR
all to make this expensive (and de facto deprecated) system call which generally forms a single blocking point deep in a program's core event loop willy nilly like it's some kind of strlcpy()?

No, you're not. Frankly I've never seen select(2) properly invoked in more than one place in an entire project, and neither have you.

That's why a C professional isn't really phased. Sure, there are about a million english words in the OED and some more creativity would be fantastic. This still isn't a problem, on the facts. It's not an opinion.
Designing a True Rest State Machine
Nope. Not going to happen. I don't care about a multi-purpose SIM. I want cheap data.

I keep my T-Mobile SIM for when I fly into the US, I reload it for $30-60 and use it for a month. I'm rarely in the US.

I get back to Indonesia, I go to the local SIM store and buy 50GB of data for ~$13. With Twilio rates I'd be paying $1,250-5,000. Pass.
You're probably wrong about the last part (I doubt there's a statistically significant difference between mathematicians and other people in regards to life responsibilities, the big ones obviously being having children).

About the first part, I don't think mathematicians specifically get so many life responsibilities - I think most people do most of their "learning" in their 20s, and most of the execution of that learning in their 30s and onwards. Research mathematicians are a bit different in that, like most academics, their serious intellectual work which pushes the frontier and gets them career credit is of the same kind of learning/intellectual work.

E.g. compare to programmers- most will learn to program in their 20s, pick up a few languages/technologies, then spend a big chunk of their career with those.

The conjecture - in the article - is it doesn't work at, well at all is strong but certainly not to the degree that is claimed. Also, given the replication crisis in this field, any benefit is possibly noise.

> We conduct four randomized field experiments among 1,801 hosts on Airbnb by creating fictitious guest accounts and sending accommodation requests to them. We find that requests from guests with African American-sounding names are 19.2 percentage points less likely to be accepted than those with white-sounding names. However, a positive review posted on a guest’s page significantly reduces discrimination: When guest accounts receive a positive review, the acceptance rates of guest accounts with white-sounding and African American-sounding names are statistically indistinguishable.

In my opinion one should be seeking to hire the best person for the job every single time regardless of the person's race or gender. But I also believe that considering diversity needs is fair when tie-breaking between equally qualified candidates.

You make a good point.

Of course the justification fits to the sex differences as well. You should hire the gender that makes music performance more enjoyable for your audience.

I have a sinking feeling this kind of synthetic food production is just a bait for health-wary consumers. After reeling in enough customers, lab-grown fish produced for profit will inevitably have to deteriorate in quality to maintain/increase revenue. Can this kind of endeavor scale? Can it be introduced to schools, for example? I'm sure some consumers will swallow the idea hook, line and sinker but I see it as just another cool concept in an ocean filled with bottom-feeders.
That really doesn't follow. A building with a beautiful, perfect finish can be shoddy inside, and vice versa.

The software analogy doesn't hold, because security issues are often a consequence of buggy software, whereas shoddy finishes don't have much casual connection to the interior structure.

Also, software that "runs smoothly and presents a good used experience" can be just as prone to security problems, again because there's no necessary casual connection between the two.

You could argue that if the same team is responsible for everything, that the user experience, or finish, may be indicative of the internals - but it's common in both software and construction for different teams and even different companies to be responsible, and there can also be reasons to prioritize the areas differently and devote more attention and resources to one than the other.

(1/2): It most certainly does work: q/kdb is an interpreted language and doesn't have cycles. Being an array language, nesting is uncommon, so chasing pointers isn't an issue either.

(3): I didn't say otherwise Python doesn't also do reference counting. Python however does have a bytecode and a GC, and perl5 does not and executes the AST directly. And yes perl5 is faster for many problems[†]. I think it's quite common that people believe that GC and bytecode are a win, and this is a simple and accessible example where it is not true.

(4): More significant than what? q/kdb is implemented in this style, and it's a huge advantage (reducing bugs) having your library handle allocation/deallocation over having the caller do these things so I tend to do it as well. What exactly are you comparing it to? The mental load of figuring out what's causing pauses is quite high since it requires considering the entire program, but linear programming is very easy and it obviates a lot of need for other kinds of memory management techniques.

(5): Good enough for what? Why is mixing static analysis with runtime analysis "cheating"? What would be "fair" in your mind?

The identifier is not embedded in a URI, the identifier is a URI: instead of an integer id 1234 or a string id "1234", you can use a string id "http://example.com/id/1234". Typically, one service is responsible for creating the id but after that, it can be used to refer to the same entity in any number of services. EDIT: What makes it better than a free-format string id is that every person and tool knows how to de-reference it / look it up.
Selling boxes of cereal for $40 a pop might be a more bizarre idea, but the downside risk is that people ask you about that failed business venture for the rest of your life, not the death penalty.

Think the number of people willing to risk their lives helping some foreign smuggling contact they've just met for a couple of weeks' minimum wage income back at home (it's a lot easier to understand the incentive structure for locals in poverty or gangs than Western backpackers...) is rather higher than the number of cereal entrepreneurs though...

Indeed, if it doesn’t it doesn’t make any money and disappears unless it gets subsidies. So the WNBA and orchestras get subsidised and can have professionals whereas without subsidy their losses would force them out of existence in short order.
The problem in real world is that anyone has a bias, there are people you instantly like or dislike and there is no objective thing so you end up liking people that are like you and reject people that are different.

how does it work if you are trying to have a good balance man/women in your team?

Run a company that women see as a good place to work, where they won't be harassed and where they're treated fairly. Once the company gets a reputation for being a good place for women to work you'll get a lot more applications from women, and the problem of balance will resolve itself because you can hire on merit if you have a good selection of candidates.

The hard part will be firing people who do things that give the company a bad reputation even if they're great workers.
There's still the risk of inducing tinnitus (esp. if you had some mild hearing damage already, which I'm guessing is pretty common) - the theory is that, in total silence, the brain can eventually notice even the faintest tinnitus sound (that you might have had already due to hearing damage, but didn't notice because it was so quiet), and once you've became conscious of it, it will never go away.
I'll investigate it. Thank you!
This is not an easy topic to discuss here. What I can say is: 1) I have a good mix now and I like it but new hires are only males so it will change, this mix seems to work very well but I might be wrong here; 2) companies these days see it well and see it as “good” (being honest here)

I thought being a Hollywood star or footballer is the sexiest job - data science is just trying to fit some models to data and then selling your superiors on results of your analysis.
Well, one reason is that once you get into the state of a male only team, it becomes significantly more difficult to recruit women.

I have heard from multiple women, that they will absolutely not join a team if they are the only woman on it.

You would miss out on a lot of talent that way.
The general name for this phenomenon is the Cobra effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_effect
If someone has something you want you can offer them more money, whether what you want are skills or staff you’d have a beer with. Or you can offer them more attractive working conditions. If Posh Tom has to do half as much work as Pavel to get the same respect/promotions/money over time you’ll get more Posh Toms and fewer Pavels until your business is outcompeted.

You need deterministic performance. There is a standard for that named AVB[0] but it requires avb compliant switches/hubs. It's used in pro, live, home audio and corporate environments with great success. In a perfect world the internet(at least the wired internet) would be avb compliant.

Making software is about asking questions. You ask the questions necessary to figure out the best solution to a problem. If you have a "man only" team, or "anything only" really, you're less likely to have people asking different questions - they're all going to ask the same questions if they all have the same perspectives, biases, etc.

Diverse teams gather more information which leads to better insight of edge cases, and ultimately to better products.
