I think I disagree with the fundamental premise that children shouldn't be exposed to, or don't enjoy, grim characters and dark stories.

I remember being not much older than the author's seven year old and gleefully flipping through Spawn #1. At the time, I was already a fan of Judge Dredd and TMNT comics. (If you're unaware, the TMNT comics were _violent_). My favourite films were Roadwarrior and Evil Dead 2!

It seems odd to me to suggest that death and misery aren't experiences kids encounter or should encounter. Perhaps its uniquely modern, but it seems to me that even the sheltered children of the west must encounter a passing of a pet or a family member from time to time. It would certainly help to allow them to explore those concepts through art and entertainment, in order to process the feelings they're trying to understand.

It's parallel to "landlady"
Probably the quality of the content in the app goes down dramatically if you allow multiple accounts. But I can see a use case where people need to manage their business profile and their personal one, or a celebrity needing to have an unknown account for close people only. I am sure there are many more.
Most women leave the startup space regardless due to the sacrifices required by the system. It's the same with men but less so due to the cultural norms in American culture. This also applies to corporations. The lack of childcare leads to the inevitability as families are forced to decide who needs to stay at home to take care of their offspring. Typically it's the women as we condition them to take jobs with lower paying fields but also more complex issues such as lost experience and other issues that force them out. I'm not saying it's entirely sexism but rather a systemic issue that effects both men and women. A lot of feminist arguments are just plain wrong. It makes me wonder who is controlling those narratives to ignore the real issues for issues such as pay as we see in companies such as google when you account for experience and job titles the standing does not hold but my example is also flawed as google forces women to take certain careers and only hires women for certain things. Still very complex.
This is tech. 20 years of tutorials are always becoming slightly wrong.

Don't tell me you're still using bare pointers, `new` and `delete` in your C++ classes instead of using smart_ptr fields, or explicitly declaring local variable types instead of using `auto`...
> if this female-dominated organization is actually doing a good job I'm inclined to leave them alone and pay more attention to biases that actually harm businesses

So your only metric for biased hiring practices being problematic is business performance??
That's not what the parent comment said. You could see this picture even if average make intelligence was lower than female — all you need is a wider distribution.
>All out attack on cities? Nope

How would you classify the attacks on cities such as Mariupol if not all out attacks?

>Humanitarian corridors established? Yep

How many times has Russia attacked civilians on those corridors? How many have they mined? How many have they refused to create in the first place?

>Shut down their electricity, utilities, internet? Nope

Given the dependence the Russian military has on such systems for CnC, general communications, and such it is to their advantage to keep them up and active. Attacking power plants wouldn't do much either given the Ukraine grid is now tied to the EU wide grid as of March 16, 2022 if I remember the date correctly.

>Your claims are childish and ignorant.

It appears that I have a deeper understanding of the subject than you do, at least to me.
In many states, discrimination laws only apply to "protected classes" , which is strictly defined as specific lists of races/religions/lgbt..

If you are white male, you are often not protected by these laws.
The "bulma" way would be to add the `has-text-link` class to the <a> tag [0], which has the benefit of matching your styles as well.

What data can you cite that suggests executives in the "younger generation" don't act exactly the same way given the same incentives?
I was never a DC fan, so I can't speak to them, but Marvel used to give their writers much more freedom in the 80's and early 90's (coincidentally, when comic sales were doing great) as well as owning smaller "independent" publishers, to let their talent publish small, offbeat, "risky" comics with subversive themes. It was GREAT. That's what Image Comics was (owned by Marvel). It was like how Large movie studios would own small art house film studios in order to entice good directors (like Spielberg and Lucas) to make blockbusters for them.

Besides, good literature isn't supposed to hit you with their message so hard. Good literature isn't a blunt instrument to be wielded like some dullard wielding a sledge hammer in a slaughter house. It's a gentle and subtle poison that changes your mind from the inside. V for Vendetta is a great example. On the outside it just shows how government is corrupt, but it also shows the risks of human experimentation, the problems of corporate and government cooperation, how easily people are swayed by a compliant media, how easily small things in the beginning can have huge consequences far down the line that were never suspected, even in a time of conflict and rage the need for human connection is important... and all of these things are laid out in the sub plot of a comic book. Again, from the 80's /sigh ... it was a freer time, when risks could be taken =)
There's no "white man", everyone is an individual. Whoever discriminates is an idiot, man/woman/white/black/red/gay/whatever.

A caveat of bending over backwards to be as inclusive as possible is that sometimes you end up including people who are just plain nuts. You end up enshrining the personal problems of a handful of people into company policy.
But what if I don't like Hollywood movies, consider them cheap crap, and don't care if more of them get made? I just want to watch them to see what everyone else is talking about.
All of those are bad when indulged to excess.
This should be the top comment for the GP. To a very good approximation all pursuits of all adults are fundamentally rubbish in a childish level. Just as an example, I think it is widely accepted that following sports is a decent way for a proper adult to spend their time. Like...what? Seriously, you call e.g. watching other people driving in circles competing who is fastest as a serious, non-rubbish adult-like way to spend time? (Okay, I agree, it may be fun. But so are all the other pursuits to whoever pursue them, so no difference there.)
Totally.

Also hell of a thing to announce on Earth Day.
I really don't get the logic behind the "landlord" one. In what world can "landlords" be considered an oppressed group that needs special consideration for inclusivity? Is the endgame here Google suggesting "benevolent autocratic ruler" instead of "dictator" to be more inclusive?
I seriously don't understand why this point keeps getting repeated. It is just semantics!

Yes, we all know copying a digital show isn't the same exact thing as stealing your car. However, you are still taking something of value! Let's say you snuck into my band's concert venue and didn't buy a ticket. Yeah you didn't physically take anything from me, but you are having access to something you shouldn't without paying.
The Netflix UI is so unfortunate. I KNOW they have the ability to recommend me interesting content, but instead they just peddle whatever their latest original content. Also the browsing experience is hellish. It's barely possible to even search by genre.
there is this sort of modern attitude toward science that tacitly assumes that we understand some sufficient majority of the nature of reality, when in fact reality is apparently infinitely fractal.
People on steroids/that have been on need to do this regularly
"Being more inclusive with our writing is a good goal, and one that’s worth striving toward as we string these sentences together and share them with the world. “Police officers” is more accurate than “policemen.” Cutting phrases like “whitelist/blacklist” and “master/slave” out of our vocabulary not only addresses years of habitual bias in tech terminology, but forces us as writers and researchers to be more creative with the way we describe things. Shifts in our speech like swapping “manned” for “crewed” spaceflight are attempts to correct histories of erasing women and non-binary people from the industries where they work."

This is a whole paragraph in the article where the author agrees this is good thing, just that google implemented it poorly.
The older I get, the more I fail to understand how the vocal minority is able to completely control the narrative on everything.

While we’re at it, let’s just gut the English language of anything remotely related to gender, race, or color. Then we can go after Latin-based languages that use gender at the core of their grammar.
> motherboard/mainboard doesn't even offend me any more. I kind of get it, even though it is lame logic.

Same as "master branch"/"main branch". If there is an equivalent, less fancy and less controversial technical term, by all means let's use that instead. As long as you don't start with "childbearing person board" or "privileged branch" or whatever.
I mean I don't think I ever implied that, but regardless I think we need to care about those who are most the disadvantaged with a certain level of priority.
The nerds won. Nerdy forms of entertainment dominate our culture.
Where is the slave in git?
Also horribly flawed. In several states if you are not white your resume is just thrown in the trash. There are several studies on this. People simply do not like others who they do not see as equals or as similar to them.
,,Is this behavior significantly reducing the startup's competitiveness?''

No, if money is used politically. In a free market you would be right, but with the amount of money printing going on, we're not living in a free market.
I personally wouldn't take advice or put any klout in the suggestions from people who promote carnivore, and definitely not from the followers of those people. They are both blinded by their dogma and ironically think they are the most scientifically enlightened over others, unaware of their dogma.
But if hiring for that department is frozen, as GP stated, how do you expect it to be fixed?
Also works in Spanish!
This explanation rings a lot more true to me than the rest of this thread. Everyone here seems to be looking into shadows for the woke gestapo, when I'd be willing to bet that this explanation is a lot closer to how this tool actually came to exist.

I appreciate you adding to the conversation.
As I have gotten older, my pay has continued to increase. "Over qualified" means that I want too much money. (I don't apologize for that. I bring more value than I did 20 years ago. Either you have a use for that - enough of a use that you're willing to pay for it - or you don't.)

Also, if you've got someone with 20 years experience, and they're willing to accept the same pay as someone with 5 years experience... are they really willing? Or are they going to bail for more money at the first opportunity? If you hire them, you have to worry about how long they'll stick.

So "more than qualified" can be a real thing, not just a discrimination thing.
The problem is often that people want to live in a place that is cheap and with space and then drive to where jobs are and the pay is high (city), which means wide roads to get to city, which means lots of pollution, noise, lack of safety for those in the city. As far as real estate, there are often other reasons for the high prices. The root cause is often not just land.
American PG-13 movies regularly include hyper-violence, human torture, and gore.

But yes, the rating shelters children from women's nipples, everyone's genitals, and naughty words.
My favorite is when, during a quarterly DEI meeting, the DEI team would show a slide with the pie chart for "diversity when hiring last quarter" - "We hired 70% women! Yoohoo! we're super diverse!" :)
Why Netflix Stock Plummeted 35% This Week
Cleaning had, at least in theory, lots of flexibility.
I just can't see it leading to anything more than just ports of the same emulators of the same 90s consoles we've all played to death.

I can just go the rest of my life happily without playing the same SNES, Genesis, PSX, Gamecube, etc roms again. I did it all first time around and each time it comes around again it loses more of it's soul.
In “Our Great National Parks” Obama is too calm about climate crisis
My team goes through something similar with our sister company that's in the same building. Their product is made better by being ran by social types so their organization is entirely personable, outgoing, and very social. They constantly complain that we don't join them in multi-org events but none of us (including our manager) want to join them. If I had to consistently have small talk with a bunch of socialites, I would quit.
Yeah, that is unfortunate. But as full time creators they basically have to follow the trends, because it's not just about others getting ahead; Google actively punishes and hides your content for not doing so, even to people already subscribed to you (because YT had to make subscriptions 2 tier by default).

But I'm sure I'm speaking to the choir in terms of Google's scary control over the internet and lack of alternatives in several fields.
Ukrainians will indeed fight to the last Ukrainian standing, you tend to do that when you have barbarian Russians raping and murdering your populace and you would prefer not to live under their purely evil dictatorship.

(that really doesn't require any encouragement from the UK, or the US)

It's open for debate, but there's the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variability_hypothesis
IMHO it's mostly about high prices in exchange of mediocre content. With all the competition, the quantity of available shows is now higher but the average quality is lower. Personally I often think to drop Netflix as well, there's really little that I feel like watching in it.

I think many just pirate those show they are interested in or subscribe just 2-3 months a year to binge watch.
The tasks aren't arbitrary. They're meant to be a proxy for some universal concept of competence.

This seems at least somewhat wrong to me - the competence is not universal but task specific. They compare how your competence to perform task X is related to your ability of assessing your performance of task X in absolute terms and relative to the other participants. They repeat this for different tasks and find that for all tested tasks the same pattern emerges - roughly, the better your performance, the better your ability to accurately assess your own performance and the performance of others.

So you can be competent doing task X and provide accurate assessments for task X performances while at the same time being incompetent doing task Y and being less accurate in assessing task Y performances. This essentially means that you can not be universally good at assessing performances of arbitrary tasks, you can only do this well for tasks for which you are yourself competent.

Not to mention Scar being _eaten by a mob of hyenas_ at the end...
The change from “landlord” feels good. I’ve always felt a little awkward when using the word but couldn’t articulate why.

Google wouldn’t be my first choice, but it’s nice that someone is able to dedicate attention to this.
A lot of tech companies prioritize hiring women (whether officially or not) in roles like HR and admin to make their overall diversity numbers look better.
> I don't think this thread is an appropriate place to litigate Curtis Yarvin.

In general, I'm pretty good about separating art from artist, but this thread root did launch that explicit discussion so perhaps your comment is better placed near the root than here.

I made a good faith attempt to build on Urbit (still have my ship from then somewhere) and failed so you don't need to convince me.

But fine, I'm not playing defence attorney since I don't even like this Dark Enlightenment crap. If you want to construct shadowy fanged figures and then decide it is inappropriate to question if they're fanged or really all that shadowy, then fine.
I’m younger but from a similar background. I don’t have many opportunities available to me, and my family is going to be dependent on me financially when they can no longer work. It’s extremely stressful to have all of this hanging over my head & be expected to applaud it.
XeroLinux: A Beautiful Arch-Based Linux Distribution for Beginners
I went and quit most of my subscriptions, just because I literally don't have enough time .

It's at a point where I'll probably resubscribe for maybe the next season of Squid Game, like I'll resubscribe to HBO Max if they do another season of Righteous Gemstones.

The streaming market is so over saturated, it makes more sense to cancel all your subs, get your entertainment from YouTube, and then subscribe just for a month to binge your favorite shows.
This is how ancient Athens did it, I think, and I agree we should give it a go.

Politicians are becoming like a caste, much too similar to each other and with very little exposure to real life.
The pendulum is swinging back and force once a decade or so. Just give it a few years to calm down a bit and we'll go back to worrying about putting leaves on David and painting over renaissance paintings.

Humans act so weird in large groups.
I agree that "main" is better, purely because it's a more intuitive word for that role.

As far as "uncomfortable connotations", would you agree that that's a subjective claim?

I don't like that forced slavery is a thing, but I'm capable of handling context-specific word meanings, and of not getting emotional due to alternative meanings.
If Google had shipped a feature that autocorrects my grandparents' slang to "dank" and "yeet", I'd be equally concerned! There's a huge difference between using fun new terms yourself and going around asking everyone to stop using the old ones.
> in schools, many boys might benefit from some good male role models in these systems

Very much so, the female domination of the educational system is a disaster not in the making but one we're reaping the bitter fruits from. It is not only boys who would benefit from having good male role models, this is just as much true for girls. Unfortunately education is one of those fields where men have been pushed out and are made to feel unwelcome by women. The few men who make it all the way to the classroom often end up hen-pecked and unable to become the male role models needed.

The primary school in my village in Sweden (~450 pupils) has not had a single male teacher for more than a decade now, they pushed the last - very popular - one out with the pretence of him not having 'the correct papers'. Never mind that he single-handedly managed to organise several popular school-wide activities every year, never mind that those activities created a bond among pupils, teachers and parents, never mind that those activities are no longer organised and that tensions at the school have been rising ever since. He was a man in a female-dominated workplace who had to go, who was pushed out by the female head of school.

Come August my then 11yo daughter will no longer go to this school, instead opting for another school in a place much further away which has a more balanced approach.
Snapchat is for your own social graph. TikTok explicitly ignores your network. Snapchat is basically a messaging app with a social network twist.
> That excuse might have been entirely accurate though. Most men are indeed not willing to participate in such a blatantly sexist culture.

Right, but that's exactly the sort of problem that these inclusivity initiatives are designed to tackle (they aim to forcibly change the culture to the point that it is no longer prejudiced). That this one was doing the opposite is highly ironic.
Internet spring cleaning: How to delete Instagram, Facebook and other accounts
They provided desks and chairs (just some fairly typical office chairs), a workstation-grade Dell laptop and matching dock for it. I paid for a pair of bluetooth headphones out of pocket because I didn't want them to be tied to the job.

I got "I'll tell you if it's too much" as a budget for peripherals. Bought 2 24" 1440p Dell monitors, a 2-monitor stand, decent keyboard, wireless mouse.

Going remote, I brought everything but the office furniture with me, but use my personal 27" monitor in place of the 2nd 24" one, so between my hardware and the company's, I've got 3 screens.
When you write things like "muh Curtis", you engage in those arguments yourself. If you want to keep the conversation focused on the technology you're working on, do that; I agree, it's the more relevant thing for HN to talk about. People who have problems with the founder of this project are not crazy randos. Keeping HN conversations on-topic takes work, from everyone.

Beyond that, your comment doesn't say much. Computing and networking as it exists today, you say, is bad. Urbit is a ground-up rethink of all of it. OK, but there are 10th graders with the same idea (just as there were when I was a 10th grader). What makes Urbit worth taking more seriously than those ideas?
Having grown up in Germany I cannot donate blood here in the US (mad cow) so I guess I'll stew in my toxins...
But what if someone is not pirating instead of purchasing, they're just pirating instead of doing something else?

You need to consider that maybe the product you are producing is simply not that valuable.

I'm an artist myself. If someone took a photo of something I painted, and started making copies and selling them, yea I'd be pissed. That's what copyright law should be used to protect against.

If someone took a photo of my painting for their personal use, instead of buying one of the photos of my painting that I sell myself, I'd reconsider whether my business model of selling photos is the right one.
> that demonstrably does not happen

what exactly doesn't happen?
> I just think this type of thinking that is informing hiring practices is pretty gross, and is actually moving things farther away from the stated goals.

If someone ever believed the stated goals they are not capable of rational thinking.

I know plenty of smart people who sadly go along with this BS just because it's what all "reasonable" people are doing and don't spend a lot of time thinking about it. The same people don't think about politics and parrot what left wing media tells them.

The activists themselves are not capable of rational thinking.
It's a strange thing for the adjective "diverse" to apply to a single human, in any case. It's a descriptor that applies to groups; the only way I can see it applying to one human is with genetic mosaicism or something.
No, it's more complex than that. Racism in large portions of the united states still exists today. Individuals are not given opportunites in the u.s. simply because of something as simple as their last name. While people may base on DEI initiatives in the majority of America in non large corporate and even on those companies they are still refused if any opportunities which add on each other resulting in inequality.
I would have edited the manifesto to focus on at most one-two points based mainly around the dopey stuff they were doing in DEI classes at the time, Drop all the big-five psychology stuff, and eliminate nearly all the biological claims about women's different ability and interests.
