Only raw performance should matter, because anything else is discriminatory.
There go the disabled, English learners, and all others with an initial disadvantage. Go Team Darwin!
- devereaux 8y agoIf they genuinely have a lower performance, they will sell their services at a price matching their performance and have no problem finding clients. However, I dispute that premise. You are jumping to conclusions. The "disabled and English learners" I have met offer tremendous value, in different axes. Someone who is blind is used to processing audio at several time the speed a non blind person can. So if I need someone to summarize and extra data from audio, I want someone who's blind. Because they will be more efficient than you or I. I don't know about you, but I assume you are not blind. If you want to sell me your services, I'll pay you a fraction of what I'll pay a blind contractor because they will be more efficient than you. Someone for which English is not their first language often uses a lower number of words, and makes simpler sentences. This is a godsent for technical documentation. I fear you inner bias make you consider that as "intial disadvantage". It is extremely short sighted. Feel free to call me prejudiced when I prefer blind and ESL hires.
