I'm not sure that Orwell had much faith that he was writing an extreme cautionary tale, rather that he was just exposing what he saw as real forces acting in politics.

When society is wrong about something, we make progress when those who know better act to change things.

All investment is essentially rent-seeking. Are you advocating communism?

I think it's reasonable to be concerned about how others will perceive you when you wear an Apple watch, but this is a shallow and slightly breathless article. I had similar concerns about having the watch be so conspicuous a signifier

What have milgram's experiments got to do with how people are born? He experimented with adults.

That's compliance with the law.

Totally false. The cost isn't in the action of switching the setting. The cost is in overcoming the effects of Google's marketing, and evaluating re-learning the alternative products.

The reason is that google has established a monopoly on search, and search provides market power over customer's selection of Internet services. The reason is clear. You might want Google to have that power, or dislike the concept of

Unfortunately, refusing to comply with the government because you don't trust it is not supported under the law.

And then lose credibility with all government inquiries in all countries into the future.

Does the bill require that the algorithm be made public? Or just made available for government experts to inspect? If it's not public, then this problem doesn't exist.

They clearly don't understand the complexity, but just because it's complex doesn't mean it's not biased, and if nobody is allowed to audit it, we will never know.

I said nothing about monarch's being 'fine people'. I just don't think it's obvious that their minds would be more 'warped' than a person chosen from the general population. I was simply asking for some

by gress 11y ago
Yes. That's how I'm confident in what I said. If there's something you disagree with, I'll be happy to discuss it with you if you say what it is.

by gress 12y ago
Monarchs don't have all that power from birth. Usually they get it when their parent dies. Why would power warp a mind more than powerlessness, or two decades in a government operated school?

Since nobody has claimed that these numbers are precise, it's obvious that estimation is involved. If you are claiming that estimation is 100% impossible, then you are indeed unqualified to discuss this topic.

If you aren't sure then you are saying that you don't understand the situation well enough to have a view. You can reasonably ask that they state their assumptions or clarify their categories, but beyond that it seems to me that

Do you think the median HDD for servers is larger than the median HDD size for laptops?

So now it's 'because there's more sexism in finance, but less noise from women fighting it, it's not credible when women fight sexism in tech'. I ask again. Why are you defending sexism?
298.
by gress 12y ago
You seem to be ignoring the meaning of average. It's a statistic that you can create to characterize a numeric property of any well defined category. If you agree that there are laptops, and that there are servers as categories, then

Making assumptions about individuals based on your interpretation of statistics about their gender is inherently sexist. Most of us do it, but that doesn't make it less harmful.

Nobody is doing that. The parent was dismissive of the solution without offering an alternative other than a vague 'promoting respect'. I am asking how that is done in an environment that tolerates disrespectful behavior.
