They were commenting about their personal feelings, as am I. Neither of us have stated we think YC will do badly because of it. On the other hand, while I don't think it's bad enough for YC to suffer massively, they have presumabl

I've no idea if the the vocal trait being discussed is cultural or biological, but there is a difference at least between the two areas: the two sexes do grow physically different vocal systems, which can be heard in voicecs and seen o

Surely having ADHD would only give insight into whether it can be learned by someone with (that type of) ADHD, it doesn't speak to whether it's natural or learned for other people - just as someone who has a physical disability no

I know nothing about Music Brainz, but isn't it inevitable that something with humans involved will sometimes have errors? Is there such a thing as a restaurant that doesn't sometimes get a customer's order wrong, or a team o

Shall we stop bothering about the past 1000 years of medical advances while we're at it, since the human race was surviving fine without? What point are you actually trying to make?

UK actually went from "Challenge 21" to "Challenge 25" a few years after the former was introduced, so most places have a policy of asking for ID if you look under 25 now - a 7 year margin. Though the extent to which sta

It's equally possible for a company's security team to do a shit job, that doesn't mean companies should not think about security. If those governments are doing a shit job it's an argument against doing it badly, not ag

That's fairly irrelevant considering it's true of any sample. Even excluding one single person has a "disparate impact" since it consists of 100% of one gender and 0% the other, etc. etc. Since it's not targeted be
