>Why is that a problem? There are countless other "immutable" characteristics on which an employer can discriminate candidates.

Why should there be social equality?

Equal opportunity has enabled egalitarian societies to be tremendously successful. You are fundamentally able to use greater talent base per capita than a society which doesn't. The results will force everyone to do this and this is a great thing.

A problem arrives in which people arent in equal positions. So for us in Canada we have the legal right to discriminate against people so long as we are doing it to benefit a group defined as 'disadvantaged'. However, that doesn't account for anything. So for example hairdressing which is dominated by women can discriminate against men. Reverse sexism is legal. They call this 'leveling' but it is actually harmful.

What you get is a situation in which the 'disadvantaged' are no longer disadvantaged and the advantaged are the disadvantaged.
I think it is more that industries that rely heavily on actual productivity/measurable competency are going to lean more heavily on the immigrant population because domestic STEM education largely seems to suck.

It's been my experience in every high-stakes knowledge work job (not journalism) that many of the people I work with are immigrants from the continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa.
The difference is that traversal protocols like UDP hole punching work deterministically almost 100% of the time in an IPv6 environment but are flaky in an IPv4 NAT environment.

It also means that you never experience port exhaustion on large networks, which is a problem for large IPv4 NAT deployments.

Demand generation strategy: a 7-figure pipeline, 9 enterprise leads, 10x ACV
Wow, that was a journey and very well written technical article! I didn't understand a good half of it since it's been 20 years since my single class in assembly language. But it makes me feel good that people like this exist!
That's the one. Experience is that it's very good at what it does: multithreaded/distributed programs. Good C interop. It forces you into it's paradigm, but it's a good one for creating performant code across cores.

Tooling isn't great, it's missing things like a language server (compiler gives good error messages at least), but it's also quite simple (whole syntax fits into a smallish page) and the documentation is decent.

Playing around with it for doing economic simulations. Actors + good multithreaded performance = pretty much perfect for the domain. Makes sense too, the creator and half the core members came from the financial field.

Ruby is my go-to for scripting, one off programs, and anything web-related (blog, putting together a small crud site). For things where I want performance, I just use a compiled/static language.
The luxury is more in the post-college pipeline.
Oh come, this is truely gasping at straws.

People were not stupid; if there was an actual technical benefit, it would have been known and shared, the same way that people knew and shared other castle construction techniques amongst craftsmen.

Tangibly, the absence of evidence for something can’t be magicked away by the “but what if they didn’t record it for a reason because it was a secret!?”.

If there’s no evidence, there’s no evidence. You can ponder all day, but it still boils down to, bluntly: there is no evidence that conjecture is correct.
There are more than two sides yes, but in 2020 politics if I tell you I’m center-right then a boat load of people will call/think me a racist
I can't find it now, but I remember watching a YouTube video about how the military aspect of castles was more about projecting power over the local population to prevent and put down rebellion. This article talks about how it was also both a home security system and a status symbol. You technically had to be licensed to fortify your property.

This is wrong on two levels.

1) Norm enforcement implemented by a faceless institution does not make the neighbor less bigoted.

2) The institution can implement discriminatory behaviors just like the neighbors, but with the power to capture and kill people from being part of some unwanted minority.
Well, no, not really. It is more of the equivalent of showing how to read (or where to find) maps instead of pointing out something on one. If the searcher is in a hurry the latter is more helpful, otherwise the former is preferable.

While they're looking for some features from Crystal, the point of adding some of this stuff is to have it without the expensive port to another language or platform. Crystal lacks metaprogramming, which would be hugely disruptive for many applications, and every application dependency would need to find a Crystal replacement.

I think what's being played out is the maturation of a platform. Ruby and Rails have been around for a while now and there are many large Ruby codebases out there. The Ruby standard library is fairly comprehensive. The dependency management debate has largely been settled. So, a focus on performance and taking advantage of multi-core systems is a natural area to shift focus to. Adding a progressive, opt-in, type system can help navigate large applications.

At the end of the day, all of this new stuff can be ignored if you want. Ruby will still be Ruby. But, if you do want to use one of these new features, you won't have to go through the time-suck of porting to a different language.
It can skew results, because poor (by income) people can own some wealth in land, because they don't want to sell it for legal or sentimental reasons. My own grandmother keeps some wasteland, because she believes that someday her children (medical professionals) will farm it.

Koka is very interesting I must say. It's really cool to see how far they managed to make a functional language look imperative superficially, while being entirely functional under the hood and managing semantics via effects.

However, I believe they aren't really able to present a full imperative API to write programs in (or maybe they just haven't fully implemented the needed parts in the stdlib).

For example IIRC, the use of mut variables (internal mutability within a function and implicitly handled effect) and the related explicit heap effect don't seem to be able to share functions? And while they seem to work with entire objects the functions for mutations within arrays seemed limited the last time I tried Koka out. And everything being exposed only through the API presented some things were not possible to work around. I believe I was unable to write functions that mutated an array in place.

If anyone has had experience with Koka I would love to be proven wrong!

That said my initial point still stands - I think its an amazingly cool language and clearly a lot of interesting ideas are in it for sure.
Holy smokes! I never read the comic that much, but I did read a book of short stories based around an idea from one of his comics: The Machine of Death. Highly recommended, it's rather good.

> if you took the assumption that black people are innately less interested in tech as true.

Or maybe more interested but much more discriminated. The point is that you can’t see equality of opportunity by looking at the output.
That's a good question indeed. You're not the first one to ask this :-) I hope they will fine repeatedly. Everything else would be pointless.
I really like the idea, will try it out!
I think the article misses the mark attributing surveillance to a social need to control behavior that was a vacuum because of the dissolution of traditional communities.

Immediately before the surveillance era, at least in the US, crime rates had been declining for many years indicating no unraveling of social order. Meanwhile community dissolution had been going on for decades.

I think the obvious answer is correct: mass surveillance became possible and cheap, and states adopted it as soon as they could.

I think the motivation for the article is a hope for a kind of society where information technology can coexist without surveillance, and the author errs by misdiagnosing the shape this society could take. It won't be one where we revert to traditional community control which the author supposes, or one where people can outrun surveillance with savvy use of technology which seems to be the default position of many tech-savvy people.

Rather the solution is to apply democratic control to information technology. Democratic control is the best way to mitigate concentrations of power such as the military, courts, taxation, etc.
> This article draws conclusions not in evidence, and thinking about this more broadly there is nothing about individualism that requires a loss of privacy.

That may be true, however, individualism may increase the probability that you'll lose it, just not to 1.

> On the contrary, I myself, as most staunch individualists, are also privacy advocates, and we structure our lives to both preserve our individuality and freedom, and privacy is a central point of that.

What you advocate for isn't necessarily what you get.

> Their example of doorbell cameras especially falls flat to me, because most people (including myself) are motivated to have a doorbell camera due to our own individual issues and not to support police dragnet surveillance. Some folks, myself included, even have made the effort to use doorbell cameras that are not cloud connected and record video locally on NVR so that this data can't be shared without our explicit permission. There is nothing about these situations that /requires/ a loss of privacy, and the causal link assumed in this article is not established within.

Aren't everybody else's doorbell camera's the privacy issue? The ones the staunch individualist has no control over?
Calling something a political issue is not political but factual. I think they absolutely should host that conference, but let's not do the tired "everything is political" thing again lest we end up with the:

Everything is political and nothing is political. Only the dose makes something political.

It's easy to give into a pessimistic spiral; I always wanted these kinds of issues to become well-known, but it seems like the response is often some kind of "yeah, figures.", foregoing the conclusion.

In a similar, but lesser vein; John Cena's apology video didn't once mention what he was apologizing for, and still got lots of flak from mainland Chinese because of that. It was plain to everyone involved what the video was aimed to do, but it's the kind of fence-walking that we miss.

IMO there’s a secondary effect where individualism has been twisted to say “my individual freedom to meddle in your life shall not be infringed”.

The surveillance state will exist in the absence of regulation because there’s a lot of money to be made surveilling people. Basically, my right to spy on you trumps your right to not be spied upon.

This is likely a factor, the other factor that tends to account for these differences in fields where individual performance directly determines outcomes is that men have a wider bell curve than women do, although there is significant overlap for individual performance on pretty much every facet, men have more outliers at both the best end and worst end of the curve. This is true against nearly every facet of human performance, the variance is just higher. Higher variance combined with survivorship bias means that the top-most performers in fields that are driven almost entirely by individual performance (athletics, independent artists, authors) are dominated by men at the top, even though the vast majority of men, even those with interest in that field, would fail or be average.

Whether you are convinced by the allegations they have made against the Chinese government or not, it's not inaccurate to call it a political entity. Its name is a bit misleading and makes one think that it represents members of this ethnic group around the world.

I sometimes hear people talk about doctors like they are going to cure you when you need them. The older I get, the more I see the profession as an art.

I remember Lance Armstrong commenting on his cancer treatment. He basically said he knew he had the best medical care because of his wealth. He said driving from doctor to doctor was just depressing/agonizing, and he felt it was unnessary.
5,000 years from now you can still say "let's not forget, once upon a time..."

It just doesn't really add anything to the current topic.
I had the same thought, but I can think of two problems with it.

1. The doctor's stake is pretty limited.

The old royal court doctor model is the perfect model for this. It's based on the doctor having very few (one?) patient. If the patient dies, not only do you risk your substantial income and high status, but you might even lose your life if the royal family gets suspicious enough.

It's a good solution if you're very rich. Much richer than the average doctor.

2. When you have more than one patient, at some point you probably earn more by treating less.

The less work you spend on each patient, the more patients you can take on. The more patients you can take on, the more you earn. If you simply stop treating patients - "you're perfectly healthy, don't worry" - you can basically take on an unlimited amount of patients and collect their fees until they perish. (This sounds like a caricature of the US insurance system, from my western EU perspective.)

---

What about this convoluted system:

- The doctors get paid a recurring fee that starts small and increases the longer you keep a patient around. This counters the problem that patients can just be replaced by a younger and healthier patient.

- The doctors get assigned patients randomly. This addresses the problem that doctors would choose young and healthy patients.

- The doctors can only have a certain number of patients at once. This makes each patient more valuable, and the doctor will be incentivized to actually treat patients, instead of having as many as possible.

Oh wait...

Now, the problem is that a young, ambitious, greedy doctor would be incentivized to cull their set of patients and select for the most viable ones in the long run. This actually incentivizes them to kill off patients with minor defects?
Upon reading the headline I immediately wondered if childcare and cleaning were in the set of the female dominated careers.

My hypothesis is that men are considered much much riskier hires for certain roles.

The reason I thought of these two roles in particular is because socially I've often heard expressed worries that men in daycare are more likely to be sex offenders, and for cleaning I've often come across the sentiment that men are more likely to steal (in Sweden). If those beliefs are pervasive the discrimination should be reflected in the data too, as employers steer away from hiring men.

Indeed the discrimination effect is significantly weaker if you look at table 1 in the 'Data' section of study while discounting these two roles.
You're right but that's not really attacking the theory, rather the supposed proposer (ad hominem essentially, mild as it is). People do tend to be very swayed by appeals to "personal credibility" or lack thereof, but it's not substantively related to the plausibility of the idea itself.
It says a lot that whenever someone presents a new idea that challenges existing views of international issues, we have to remind other posters of our personal alignment against the country on the other side of the fence.

It's okay to try to understand the world beyond conventional discourse. No one should be afraid of analyzing an issue with skepticism.

I don't disagree with the pragmatic "moment in time" accounting and uncharitable view of this failed exercise that I am seeing reported (and in the comments).

What feels missed, however, in these critiques is the recognition of the pure, unadulterated "product market fit" that is being signaled by crypto, DAOs, etc.

Nearly 18,000 people, over a week, were hell bent on participating in this DAO and found a way to put up $$$.

Users struggled through broken ass alpha-release-level tools available to them to participate, forewent concerns about taxation, ownership, environment etc

Reacting with satisfaction about this failed outcome misses the opportunity to discuss and understand the pent-up demand and desire to rewrite the rules around ownership & sovereignty that critics dismiss as secondary to pyramiding / exit scamming / etc.
When deploying the developed application on some server, all the exact dependencies get installed there. The main reason for the existence of the server and its configuration is to run the application, so the server adapts to the needs of the application and gets the dependency versions preferred by the app, instead of the application trying to adapt to the server and trying to make do with the libraries already existing there.

This is why I find the "x% of emissions are caused by 100 companies so there's nothing an individual can do" counter productive.

Those 100 companies are fossil fuel companies, they distribute fuel and petroleum products to every other industry/sector. The only way to get those 100 companies to stop being the biggest polluters is to stop using their products. Which relies on us all changing our habits, to stop the supply chain upstream of us from using their products
