Because having a diverse employee pool has advantages as it helps avoid group think, reduces mental blind spots, and introduces new perspectives. Diversity is itself good for teams.

> You should hire based on talent and experience I agree that you shouldn’t hire unqualified people. However, oftentimes as a hiring manager you have a bunch of relatively equivalent candidates (let’s say the top 5 of the 100 that applie

Not fake but better metrics. There are always many different metrics that are available and the choice of metric is often arbitrary. What EEOC is doing is pointing out that if a metric disproportionally affects some protected category then

Lots of people is just more than one. It’s not a quantified concept. Anyways, I’m happy to say “some” instead of “lots of”, my main point is that these people exist, that’s why I replied to your comment.

Why would they lose? The discussion is an absolute about preference to die, not about change of that preference by someone who didn’t die. Also, not hard to imagine that there would be some people whose preference didn’t change. They just

I have spoken to many older folks, some of them quite wealthy who expressed their desire to choose their own death. One of them, unfortunately, got a metastasized late stage cancer (discovered late), and in fact ended her life with dr assis

You can always say 40% cheater, 60% non cheater in this one game, but this updates the priors for future game considerations. At some point the priors will be such that the belief in the risk of cheating (which needs not be more than 50%) w

It can, codex is better. I envision running a bot farm replacing 100s of negative impact programmers. This will be an improvement! Bonus point using gpt-3 to generate coherent standup slack messages.

Im not here to defend economists, but the historian argument is that because they can’t verify if their arguments holds water robustly they instead don’t verify at all. If everything is so subjective as to be unverifiable then why should we

Doesn’t seem that it addresses Noah’s actual complaint: There is a claim that something in the past is in some way relevant to something now. This claim of relevance is typically somewhat specific (eg how democracy fails). Historians make t

It’s actually surprisingly close in absolute numbers. About 20k not-self inflicted gun deaths in the us, and 17k deaths by fire in India. Ofc per capita gun deaths>>fires.

True negative infinities, even discounted, are still infinite, so not very useful as it makes all trajectories equal (negatively infinite).
