I agree with you; however Damore is only partly to blame... IMO the leaker of the memo is just as responsible for the PR mess as Damore is for writing the memo in the first place (no leak = no PR mess) (no memo = no PR mess) (memo + no leak = no PR mess).

"Recent technology nodes such as 22 nm, 16 nm, 14 nm, and 10 nm refer purely to a specific generation of chips made in a particular technology. It does not correspond to any gate length or half pitch."

"At the 45 nm process, Intel reached a gate length of 25 nm on a traditional planar transistor. At that node the gate length scaling effectively stalled; any further scaling to the gate length would produce less desirable results. Following the 32 nm process node, while other aspects of the transistor shrunk, the gate length was actually increased."

None federally. In California, "political activities" are a protected class. The extent to which activities and views overlap is almost certainly a messy question of law that I'm not qualified to answer with respect to Damore.
While this is one approach, I think it's only a partial solution. Stack Overflow has a huge user base and many users who were once active are now either occasional visitors or have moved on completely. I think something akin to a stale vote would work, because trying to organically out-vote an answer that has gathered hundreds of votes over the years but is now out of date doesn't really work. Another alternative is Stack Overflow's "community owned" answers, but those bring another layer of politics into play.
Monthly TARGET for Italy (inter EU-countries balance)
In the last few years, I've sat on both sides of the interview table several times. Recruitment in software engineering is a disaster from start to finish for all involved. As salaries have risen, it's only gotten worse.

On one side, there is a depressing number of people out there applying for programming jobs who effectively can't code. Their "skills" range from mindlessly repeating previous patterns they were told to use elsewhere without considering their applicability to the current context, all the way down to literally copy/pasting code chunks till the program appears to be working. Many of this group either don't care, or are blissfully unaware of what they don't know, or how little they know about subjects they believe themselves to be experts in.

This group is the majority of applicants. This is where the take home coding tests come from (which frankly, I also loathe).

On the other side, interviews are usually conducted by who-ever has been at an organisation the longest, and/or is most willing to put up with the shenanigans of interviewing the group mentioned above. This often means they're the ones most likely to enjoy catching people out, or who have some particular thing they like to grill people on. This is where you get the twenty-questions bingo style interviewing. Your recent interview sounds like one of these.

To add to this, there's a variety of situations where the applicant _should_ get the job, but they don't for reasons outside of the interview room. A manager wants to hire someone they know. Due to reshuffling, the job requirements have changed between publishing the job ad and interviewing. The budget was curtailed after the interview. Chances are, you'll never know the true story.

In addition, a large portion of developers don't ever go through the normal recruitment process. They'll do interviews, but they're recommended by colleagues, members of their meetup, friends of the above, or their IRC / Slack / Discord / etc group, and their interview process will reflect that. This is currently the best way to get a job. Often these groups are invite-only, and effectively invisiable.

In the middle of this maelstrom, are the few reasonably competent applicants applying for a job that is right for them, with a reasonable and fair interviewer.

Based on all the above, without knowing a thing about you, I'd be forced to conclude one of three options:
a) You've just been really unlucky. I've been there, it sucks.
b) You're not actually as good as you think you are. Usually this is when a programmer hits a certain level of expertise and stops learning anything new for some reason. Sometimes this is down to ego, sometimes it's because they've become the biggest fish in a small pond. The symptom seems to be a lack of curiosity, if not hostility, about novel or unexplored concepts.
c) The above observations are based on my incredibly biased view of my corner of the world, and don't match your reality at all.
> The problem is that our community isn’t very friendly or welcoming to women

Be precise, how is your community not friendly to women in ways you cannot fix in five minutes? If its obvious, its trivial to list them, if its subtle then its worth doing the exercise.

We have to accept they may just not want the gig. Just like most men don't go into pre-school teaching.
> Source.

Well, what I mean is that we're not even close to a gender parity, it would be fine at 35-40% female in my opinion but the industry is closer to 14-25% (depending on country) and to me that indicates a problem.

I think quota's and the extreme bias towards education programs that favour women is problematic though, in my opinion it infantilises Women which I dislike because I really believe women are just as capable as men in this field.

That's why I liked Damores memo, it spoke to the idea that instead of having quotas we should seek to bring in a more human centred approach to asking the question: what do women bring uniquely to the table and how can we ensure that women know that this is desirable and that they're welcome.

Killing the trope that Tech work is isolationist was one example from the memo that would likely cause some traction.

> As an example, you can look into construction field which is heavily dominated by men and women in the field feels the same but outside, it's a different story in terms of interest.

> How do you make construction work more attractive for women?

I think drawing a parallel to construction is a fine one, but I would argue instead for Architecture.

Construction doesn't need a diverse set of views, neither does nursing or mining. But Architecture does because the consumers of architecture is everyone.

And I think that's the crucial difference here: things that are designed for everyone should have a diverse set of eyes on them.

I get a strong impression that there is some begging of the question going on in that line. If someone disagrees with them, then the generic activist doesn't get automatically get cast as trying to better society. Philosophically, without specific cases, their opinions can only be equal to their opponents.

"Bettering society" is supremely complicated. There are some weird legal traditions, eg, rules of evidence, which are better for society but they sure don't look like it in the small.
I can say with 100% certainty that my coworkers ask questions in interviews that they wouldn't be able to answer themselves. It's kind of ridiculous IMO and I try to call it out when I see it (in the nicest possible way of course)
> After a while, the wealthy depended not on their poor fellow Romans to farm or make goods, but on slaves. Now it did not matter if the plebes didn’t not show up.

Also small landholders and artisans in Italy could not compete with large latifundia [1] and manufactures using 'free' slave labour and cheap grain from Egypt and cheap financing (gold from conquests). The Roman conquest had been financed by the state but the spoils benefitted mostly wealthy citizens (tax farming in provinces).

But plebs still had voting rights and every year there were held elections on Mars Fields and keeping the apperances of democracy was important for Roman Republic (also during the what we know as Imperial period). So the giveway of food and coin and entertainment to citizens had became a new norm.[2]

UK. The architecture schools are certainly evenly mixed for students, though I agree this may not yet have fed through to the higher reaches of the profession.
Yes. But it lessens your chances of contracting the virus I suspect. And should you contract it via those means the viral load is likely to be reduced.
This is a tempting explanation, but other developed countries still have powerful labour movements and the ability to take collective action, despite a similar level of dependence on Chinese imports. I'm thinking particularly of France with both the gilets jaunes movenent and its frequent strikes, though it's true that those are more common in service industries and the public sector than in manufacturing.

For better or worse, Americans have long identified more with businessmen and less with the working poor than their counterparts in the rest of the West. At least back to the 1920s and the quip about "temporarily embarrassed millionaires".
It seems that infectious people mostly don't expel it in small enough drops for it to linger.

Of course it isn't settled, but this is what all the discussion about droplet (doesn't linger) and aerosol (lingers) transmission is about.

Statistics and probability.

Sitting next to an infected person at work, cinema or bus for a long time will expose to a large probability of being infected several times with a high viral load.

Walking past an infected person the probability is low, the viral load hopefully quite dispersed.

Though getting too close to heavy breathing and sweating jogger is not recommended.

good try though. keep it up buddy!
I wondered this to, and heard it explained by our radio doctor (Dr Karl in Australia). Coronavirus needs a lot of virus to get an infection - around 100,000 virus particles, whereas some others can cause an infection with just 20, so walking past isn't enough, transmission requires prolonged contact with someone infected. (not a doctor)
And it explicitly states that generalizing to individuals is wrong (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3914586-Googles-Ideo..., page 4).
See "it's less infectious than airborne viruses, like measles" at https://bestlifeonline.com/coronavirus-facts/

It seems like the primary transmission mode is through droplets, not air
The evidence we have so far shows that the vast majority of cases are transmitted indoors:

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.04.20053058v...

In practice, a transmission event happens through a certain amount of virus particles entering the body, and this doesn't seem to happen very often for Covid.
Assuming you mean COVID-19 it's because the virus is not airborne, confusing since it can infect you "through the air".

The virus lives in droplets of bodily fluid, when you're closer than 2m just speaking with someone else is enough to exchange droplets and spread infection.

It's of course possible that someone walking by your window will cough out some droplets and they might be carried through in the air and infect you but the aim of the social distancing precautions is to reduce the infection rate and spread, not to prevent anyone from ever getting the virus.
If the model establishes a system where the people who are prepared to use the most violence end up with the land, and a couple of generations their descendants still have the land, then IMHO the model is still in play.

You could also argue that as the ownership is codified in laws and the state monopoly on violence keeps the oppressed in check, that threat of violence continues.

> Nobody suggests that women are somehow naturally 'less inclined', and the profession is richer for it.

It was not about "inclination", but rather that the current engineering culture tended to be lean a certain way when it comes to focus:

> Damore said that those differences include women generally having a stronger interest in people rather than things, and tending to be more social, artistic, and prone to neuroticism (a higher-order personality trait).[15] Damore's memorandum also suggests ways to adapt the tech workplace to those differences to increase women's representation and comfort, without resorting to discrimination.[1][14]

He argued that if Google wanted to change the gender balance in their engineering divisions, they had to change the types of things that can be worked on:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empathizing–systemizing_theory

Google wants more women in engineering (which isn't a bad thing), but do they have a similar program for getting more men into HR?

As to gender balance in professions: are there initiatives to get more men into nursing or kindergarten / primary education, and women into plumbing or carpentry?
It’s not hard to imagine that Google simply hired an enormous outsized chunk of the top female talent via outreach and just making vastly better offers to industry leading women.

The one thing I do value from frameworks - especially in an unfamiliar domain - is that they teach me how to structure things.

I can usually patch functionality together from various sources but understanding how to break a process down if you haven't done it before is often very challenging.

For example - Django taught me how to structure server-side code that needed to handle input from both a database and a browser and potentially an API in a way that keeps things nicely layered.

I'd done all this before with PHP but my architecture was a dogs dinner. I could structure my own code nicely now - but only because of the experience I gained from using an opinionated framework.

Yeah but here's the thing: I do understand the event loop, I understand the sync/async models in JS but I have very little knowledge of how setTimeout works in this context. That's because I've never used it, and I've never used it because the book that I read 15 years ago about JS said something like this: "Here's a function that allows you to run some code after some time. If you feel the need to ever use it, it means you're doing something wrong, therefore please never use it". This very vague explanation combined the lack of usage of it makes it pretty hard for a candidate like me to realize that you are actually asking a question about event loops. So my question is, if you want to see my knowledge about those things, why not ask some direct questions about it?

Gravity tends to with against having viruses lingering in the air.

And there is as minimal viral load you need to be exposed to, to actually get you infected.

So there is a low chance to get in contact with the virus, a even lower getting in contact with enough viral load to cause you harm.

The distance (and potentially masks) serve the purpose to get the density down to point, where it doesn't matter.

Last year I had the opportunity to work with some Xooglers. According to their CVs an Linkedin they were with Google for a year or two. All with job titles that trim down to project managers. All very junior.

Still, considering that Google only hires the best of the best I expected to work with ambitious, clever people.

They were the worst. The showed me graphs, fancy presentations and project plans in some saas tools (lots of them).

I soon realized that they did not have a clue what they were doing. Neither could they answer ”who does what when" nor even show defined measurable goals for the projects they were managing. And they were not able to make any decisions at all.

If they are an example of Googles middle (project) management it's quite clear why Google does not progress anymore in 2020 and lots of their products rot away on an at best mediocre level.

In my point of view Google needs a major crisis (like Microsoft under the late Balmer) before it becomes the innovationleader again - which it once has been.
Whataboutism is a time-honored tradition to dismiss the concerns of a marginalized group while intending to do absolutely nothing about any other.
I'm not sure what the intention of the OP was but I read it as those engineers could help push those efforts forward by doing what they do best -- writing software. Not all of those involved in the effort to cure cancer are studying chemicals and making drugs. There's also people who have to run some matrix calculations with MATLAB code, or who have to transcribe experiments into excel sheets. It's hard to think that if we took the pool of talent that makes the information-collecting products that Google makes, it wouldn't have any difference in the amount of progress made
Why do you have to host the games and carry the cost?

Wouldn't it be cheaper for you to provide some great server software, but people would have to host it themselves, like it was done years and years ago with games like Day of Defeat, Half life etc.

Or maybe I'm missing something - it's been a while since I played those type of games.
If true, this is extraordinarily significant.

It could mean that woman who are driven away from software engineering by discriminatory and derogatory behaviour are somehow exhibiting differences to their law / medicine counterparts.
