Maybe, but this feels like making excuses for something that is part of a big and obvious pattern. FWIW, ageism is the one form of outright and open discrimination that I have witnessed in tech companies. None of the unconscious bias, micro

Typically native development environments offer platform specific capabilities. Using a cross platform tool means you are not taking full advantage of what a platform offers to make an experience shine. But the real problem is that organiza

This app is super buggy. The UX has so many glitches (engineering failures). Probably the biggest UX snafu that I found is that one can unlock a bike across town by mistake and then get billed $2000 for it getting lost/stolen. Take wha

Thanks for clarifying. Carter was dealt a bad hand and his re-election prospects were never good. But one could easily imagine that if Operation Eagle Claw had succeeded and the American Hostages had been rescued, then he would have been re

Republicans like Eisenhower, Nixon and Bush all got re-elected after first terms of job losses. (Reagan is the only Republican post WWII to post first term job gains). If the economy were the end all be all, then there would be no need to h

This comes off more like name calling than dialog to me. Personally I drive an old Toyota Corolla that is about as close to the base model as one could get (windows doors and transmission are manual). There is nothing extraneous in that mac

Talk about burying the lede. At $2.50 over the Internet you don’t get a survey of “white U.S. adults”, you get a unique subset of that population at best. The headline and conclusions are grossly misleading in that they generalize from mech

Not quite the same as an Ivy, but UC Berkeley (top public university) is doing just fine with disproportionate representation of East Asian Students. Still prestigious, still a great school, and still stocked with hippie coops if that’s you

Alternatively it becomes a play to thwart Chinese cultural ascendency. If you make a set of rules that a film’s cast an crew must have certain demographics which are only really attainable in the US, then it would exclude pretty much all Ea

Short term the results are irrelevant. But long term they play a role in who gets access in Hollywood. Winning an Oscar means that you have more opportunities in terms of roles/budgets/resources etc. The things that happen at the

Unclear if it is hard to measure intelligence or if we just don’t like the results. Of course poverty and education can change the results. This is only a problem with the tests if we know for a fact intelligence is independent of material

It is less leverage than you might think. Samsung once threatened to switch their Phones to Tizen, Huawei is building out Harmony OS and all the Chinese OEM’s make hard forks of Android for that market since Google Play Services are illega

Putting aside the clear invitation to dunk on Euros the answer is pretty straightforward: 1.) The market rate on software engineering is lower in Europe. There are probably some cultural factors at play here (larger talent pool, less entrep

This is pretty spot on, though I am not sure that Google has the leverage to push the mobile phone industry in that direction. The last 15 years have shown us time and again that the industry as a whole (mobile phones but also IoT) is not g

Interesting. This is on the young side internationally. FWIW the Dutch have also been global leaders in optics for most history (the field really only starts when the Dutch invented the telescope and the microscope).

Can confirm. The quality and prices are if AmScope are good and microscopy is a fun hobby. If you just want to build a microscope then build one but IMO using a microscope is a more enjoyable hobby than building one. Also even if you start

My initial vitriol against academics was perhaps unnecessary. The research is clearly uninterested in the large body of serious research around this subject. It is perhaps unfair to say that low quality research is inherent to business scho

UPenn is a well regarded school. Its business school is generally regarded to be the best of the lot. Wharton professors are generally not on the receiving side of elitism. This research is simply very low quality. It maybe gratifies a cert

Quick take: this is second rate research (b-school professors have all the irrelevance of real academics with none of the substance). The research from UPenn seems blissfully unaware of any previous research on attachment objects from psych

This is cute but it refuses to actually think about the problem of keyboard layout design. Take the reductio the other way and you end up adding keys to create a keyboard with a key for “the” and one for “and”, “or”, “but”, “of”... The auth
