For everyone who seems to be skeptical of this article or skeptical of overreaction, it's just a shitty article. Read the blog post it's reporting on. It's much more damning than 'he made off color jokes' or 'he flirted awkwardly' or anything like that: https://medium.com/@kristianlum/statistics-we-have-a-problem-304638dc5de5 https://medium.com/@kristianlum/statistics-we-have-a-problem...
- ColinWright 9y agoThis is an example of the "doesn't make sense" referred to by dang above[0] - the original pointed to the "shitty article" and now it points to the recommended blog post. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15938382 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15938382
- noobermin 9y agoHate to go further meta, but a number of the comments that "don't make sense" were made after the switch, and it's bothersome that these are still their takeaways.
- mcguire 9y agoOn the other hand, the blog post doesn't name any names. Describing "S"'s behavior is one thing, describing the behavior of a Senior Researcher at Google is another.
- dang 9y agoRight, the Bloomberg article does add additional info, so people should probably read both articles.
