- imron 9y agoYou're leaving off half the sentence. I'm interested to hear your interpretation of how 'decreasing the false negative rate' plays in to this. If he had said 'hiring practices which lower the bar for “diversity” candidates', then I would agree with your interpretation. But he didn't say that, he said 'hiring practices which can effectively lower the bar for “diversity” candidates by decreasing the false negative rate'. It's an inaccurate interpretation of his comments to leave off the last half of that sentence, and I'm not sure what other way you can interpret 'by decreasing the false negative rate'.
