I’m not concerned about being offended or what one should or shouldn’t say. But in general saying I don’t find saying those kinds of sweeping statements to be very constructive, including the positive example.

I'm not sure how that makes him any more qualified on the topic of diversity issues at Google

It seems like he was cherry-picking studies that fit a personal theory he held before the feedback was ever requested. I would consider that to be unscientific.

Depends what the implications of that statement were. I think assuming that women at Google have higher levels of neuroticism is fair, but once you start to posit that as an actionable truth is when real information is needed.

Thanks for the links, however I think the misrepresentation of information here is women have higher rates of neuroticism, but is that true within sample present at Google? Not every possible women is more neurotic than every possible man.

I can agree with #2 - I don’t believe he saw this memo as being particularly political or as an attack against anyone.

Being rich isn’t a protected group in the workplace.

For example, claiming that “women have higher rates of neuroticism” is debatable. IMO, that kind of discussion is frankly uninteresting and unhelpful.

I have my own opinions, which happen to be different from yours!

Sure, if they are publishing documents about how straight people are less effective at their job then they’re causing unnecessary issues in the workplace.

I don’t think it is a rational argument though?

by glenda 6y ago
I don’t have a good answer. But at that point some kind of outside discussion facilitation is probably necessary.

I agree with you in theory, but it’s a bit different. If he is making the workplace less comfortable for particular groups of people then I certainly would have no issue firing him. You are free to hold any belief you want, but once you’re

I don’t see what’s wrong with calling it political... it surely isn’t scientific. The opinions he expressed seem like naive political theories based on his understanding of gender and society, which is an extremely nuanced topic.

From what I’ve seen sharing these videos publicly also provides a potential thief with your location and information about the placement of your cameras, which is not a smart move if security is your main motive.

Festivals should just start inviting bounty hunters instead of using facial recognition. Or maybe they could just put shock collars on every attendee in case they begin to act in an unacceptable manner. In fact, once it's proven to wor

There is no rule that states that a person should be free to say anything without any consequences. He made a choice to say some words and based on those words people felt they would be better off without him in their workplace. Seems fair

As a man with long hair (and a dark-ish complexion), they are constantly requesting to search through my hair at the airport. It feels like an absurd request every time, especially since most women with long hair aren't being searched

Landlords will often perform a credit/background check on potential renters, so it seems like this exists to fix an existing information asymmetry.

Sure, but the majority of people with jobs need them to survive. I'm happy that wasn't an issue for you in high school though.

Same issue in the US, especially with the rise of predatory, unaccredited colleges.

I got Resolve set up on Ubuntu 18.04 this morning - the trick for me was switching to the nvidia drivers, before that it segfaulted on my machine too.

I came across this [1] a while ago. I haven't spent any time reading it yet so I can't exactly recommend it, but it seems pretty good. [1] https://github.com/rust-embedded/rust-raspi3-OS-tutorials

It looks like transaction is just a C struct with function pointer fields, not an actual C++ class, so there is no implicit `this` argument.

Free speech refers to the freedom to not be thrown in jail by the government for things you have said that fall under protected speech. It has nothing to do with being allowed to post anything on any website you’d like.

That seems pretty easy. It's much harder to try to understand where someone is coming from and engage with them in a positive way, even if you're rejecting their idea in the end.

This point of view is absolutely absurd. Women and men are both obviously capable of hard work in the same capacity.

I do have to say, after joining a small decidedly non-startup company, the culture at most startups is toxic simply due to that fact that they're so informal and mostly full of men. That means there will be certain situations in which
