I left the western world several years ago, partly because of this. I could not live in an idiocracy where some people hire based on skin colors or genitals. Thankfully, I have faith in capitalism. I never thought I would say such an obviou

I am mostly working as a contractor so I don’t know the feeling of staying many years in the same company. But from time to time, I asked myself « is there anything else I would rather do? » And the answer is always no. Considering I have t

Not at all, I have been working remotely for a while now, but I always kept clear separation between my home and my work (for the most part). So, I always go to coffee shops, libraries, coworking, bars, to get some work done. I work a few h

I did my master degree in Tsinghua University, China. I was surrounded by really smart people. I regret leaving China to go back to Europe. I truly wished I was still living there.

You can use gender or race or any other factor. I just don't want to have anything to do with that company because I am afraid I will lose IQ point on the long run. I am a capitalist, I am not sure which factors are the best factors wh

I tried to find the original source, I could not. That being said, I have witnessed this non sense during my professional career, we had meeting discussing the need to hire woman or black people. As an engineer I can't possibly agree t

If I could not really use a computer at the moment, I would look at the biggest project dependencies, if some are unknown to me (or I don’t know them enough) I would instead spend sometimes reading their documentation. It does not fully ans

I don't think there is any biases behind it. Google is incentivized to return you results. And there are probably not enough Malaysian restaurants in Fremont. So I would assume they have some data that says "people who like Malays

I am not British but I see monarchy positively. She was indeed an interesting character, witty, frail yet fierce, out of this time and truly royal. It’s definitely the end of an era, that makes me a little bit nostalgic. I have been thinkin

My stance on this question is "Can I spot the difference between art 100% generated by computer or 100% made by human". And my answer is : "Not so much anymore, not always". So, yes, to me it's art. If I can't

The reverse would be unfair as well. If someone have to live in San Francisco to make 250k/year but pay a high rent etc. And you make 250k/year living in Ho Chi Minh that would be unfair to them. And would be a little bit unfair t

I think you are missing the point. What you consider to be a controversial/non PC answer is considered to be a pretty normal answer to them. They are not trying to get in touch with like minded people, they are just posting comment on

The main problem with diversity, is that most of the time it's a performance. And it's often done with bad actors, who will spend hours and hours on talk shows, describing how they are proud to be the first X to have played in thi
