Not so sure I do misunderstand, in fact I pretty clearly think the reverse. It seems what you are talking about is quotas rather than diversity hiring. Diversity is really more of a lets hire this experienced person from this pool of applic

Life is not magically sperate from work. I find that people who do not care about diversity at work, do not care about it in the rest of their life. Lack of diversity is another way of describing a history of denied opportunities due to the

We have a group sort of like that in Australia, Getup (not bribing but lobbying). The current sitting party is trying to get it deemed as a political party as it consistently lobbies against government policy (policy which is consistently a

The reason you are being downvoted is that it is also not ok to harass women outside of a nightclub.. or in a nightclub.. or anywhere fucking else. If they are baiting, well perhaps this a pathological response to constant lifelong harassm

I tend to think intent is an outmoded system of morality. It can be faked easily, even to oneself. It is always better to judge outcomes. Actions, not words.. Lying, then, should be judged not on level of intent, but on severity. And on thi

Sure.. The idea is that the issue with tags is they can be difficult to trace to all their referenced locations. I find myself not using them because they are difficult to keep track of.. you can't 'see' them at a glance. But

Workflowy is great for quick, structured, hierarchical note taking. It is basically a text only bulleted list of lists. Navigable by keyboard or mouse and syncs to whatever phone / desktop etc you have. Too expensive by half, and I don

What if you believe you are the smartest person in the room because you are the only one that questions their own ideas? What then?!

Hence my point that our reality is the issue, rather than the argument. If we are using language which is inept, ie. unable to capture the reality, then how is cementing the meaning of that language supposed to help? Are we supposed to li

I always thought the Turing test was more performance art than scientific enquiry. Meant as much to illustrate the tenuous nature of consciousness as test computer literacy.

What is a rock though? Is it not just a construct? A piece of dead skin on the surface of a living rock? Is it not like saying a synapse is not conscious because it doesn't have a brain? The issue is not with the op's argument, it

Of course, that is the point! Then the business which produces lots of waste (and has to charge for it) is competing with business which produces little waste. >edit Consumers pay for some of the cost individually now, and some of the co

Recycling goods and people, so to speak. But seriously, why should businesses get to externalise the costs of disposal of the junk they make? Just make businesses responsible for the life cycle of their products.

This is absolutely not true and is quite dangerous advice. The problem with workers who worked with asbestos in factories or mines is that a very high percentage of them got Mesothelioma, and within a relatively short time frame - maybe 15

Another take on it, rent is like farming. If you pull too much out of the system, the soil gets degraded and the salinity rises, poisoning the crops. Affordable rent is a way (albeit deeply flawed) of trying to maintain the health of the sy

Great comment. What you are talking about though is useful levels of abstraction. When you are talking to 'the business' I find it helpful to remember you are their 'tool'. How you do what you do, or what you use to do i

The way I always heard it put (by thoughtful libertarians anyway) was that ubi reduces the need for welfare, not that it requires the abolition of it. Agree with what you say otherwise, but I think actually the issue is that radical /

I honestly don't understand why, if the driver does not take control when the car has sensed an issue, it does not just throw on hazards and roll slow or stop. Seems like the safest way to keep people from dying.
