She does mention this. In fact, she even mentions that she thinks that the 50/50 target is too low. "I believe for example if it wasn’t for biases and unequal opportunities, then the higher ranks in science and politics would be d

I meant on the internal thread this memo was released to and discussed on. I heard from a indirect source that it blew up partially because others agreed with the sentiment. Just wondering if there could be confirmation on that.

Does anyone know first hand if any employees agreed with the sentiment in this memo? Shouldn't they be let go as well?

Not a lawyer, but will he have a case to sue for wrongful termination? I guess without seeing the employee contract and Code of Conduct, it is hard to say.

I'm reading Andy Grove's book, "Only the Paranoid Survive" and he discusses the decline of IBM and rise of Intel. Remains surprisingly relevant even though it was written over a decade ago, and an interesting view of PC

If a recording of the interview could be provided I think that would be best. I think gathering enough trust where people start accepting these dossiers as fact will take a long time unfortunately. But if you have a recording of the intervi

I think providing more information on the questions for Candidate 2 would be pretty helpful. The description is really vague as "easy" and "hard" could mean different things to different people.

I asked Google Home: "Is it cold outside?" and it responded: "Sorry, I can't answer that yet." Seriously!? This is the same for all of these home devices, but I have to talk to it in such a robotic manner, and if I

Yeah, I realize that my armchair comment was a bit flippant. If someone told me that writing software (insert profession/thing you love) led to CTE, I'd obviously be really torn about it as well.

For someone so smart, I'm a little surprised it took this CTE study to push him over the edge. But maybe he wanted more conclusive data before leaving a job which paid him millions. :)

Also you have to be careful not to store your Monero on something like Shapeshift as they can easily keep records and under some regulation I believe.
