Yea, I saw the women in machine learning group at NIPS and was really wondering if this is a good thing or not. Now they are considering Black in Machine Learning too (or something like that). This all just seems sexist and racist. Mathemat

Why tolerate illegal immigration and make legal immigration so hard? Do you see how out of whack the incentives are? I did a BS and MS from good schools here... Pay tens of thousands in taxes every year due to my high income. But I am in co

Can you point me to research into how XX is different from social gender? I think I'm not understanding this point. How can society construct the idea of a gender, if not from biology? How else was the social concept of gender created
