As someone firmly on the "women in tech side", this is an awful method of attack. Gender should be a consideration but it should truly be (one of) the last one(s), way after skills, work history, personality, etc. Measures like th

How precise does the conspiracy theory have to be for you to consider it verifiable? I'm sure if you took a cursory glance at some more eccentric publications from the time, you'd find people saying things like "the CIA is ex

I think you're missing that there are options besides "their life is better than mine" and "my life is better than theirs."

The second sentence of the post clarifies that this is motivated by a one-day boycott in solidarity with Spanish workers striking for improved labor conditions--not by the belief that "Amazon is evil and should be boycotted." Eith

I'm pretty sure if you asked any given 8th grader what the difference between a neo-Nazi and a conservative is, they could give you a cogent answer.

I think you misread the article. The author is saying that HR is female-dominated and gives the example of a team she was on which was entirely women.

I actually thought that line was a joke when I first read it. "We don't hire non-citizens, Hispanic people, or anyone over 30" sounds a lot worse than "we evaluate candidates according to an algorithm trained to predict

All browser-specific websites are okay when they're a hobby project you're making freely available.

I think either would be appropriate but I suggested specious because it rhymes with facetious and I often mix up rhyming words myself.

Excellent points--if I may, I think you meant "specious," not "facetious."

For examples to illustrate: a group of QA testers that consists entirely of pale-skinned people is going to be collectively less qualified at testing a face recognition tool than a group with a range of skin tones. A school board consisting

I took your post quite literally--if you believe in equality of outcome, studies like this are important. Personally, I disagree with you in principle, as I think there often aspects of human capital that can only be seen on the level of or

In my experience, men are more likely than women to choose degrees based on prestige and salary expectations. I'd say it's less about imagination after the fact and more about initial motivation.

If our end goal is a body of mathematicians that closely reflects society at large, it's pretty important to understand what factors influence participation in mathematics in under-represented groups, no?

Limiting a literature review to 7 studies based on frequency of citation is pretty understandable, especially for a relatively young research topic. Of the 2 studies which showed a significant backfire effect, the findings of the first were

I think your comment that politicians "better conform to Twitter's code of conduct!" if they want to use Twitter is a perfect summary of the underlying philosophy here. A system where you have bored teens posting alongside th

Looking up symptoms of anxiety to determine if you have GAD is a bit like looking up symptoms of hunger to determine if you're malnourished.

This is a neat format but I wouldn't trust the results. Some of the "real" words are not actual English words (I got a Spanish word and an acronym) and some of the "fake" words are real, but obscure (for example, &q

Building onto the other reply to your comment, I think you'd be surprised just how much accessibility regulation already exists that's just invisible to you. You also use highly accessible websites every day, you just don't n

I'm not sure if you've ever been in a building, but in case you haven't, I can assure you there's a lot that goes into their design and identity beyond the presence of a wheelchair ramp. Cars look identical because of co

This is rather silly. The existence of heavyweight boxing doesn't stop people from watching (and enjoying) lightweight boxing.

I can only assume that $3800 figure came from Feb-March, meaning this article was written months before publication and not revised prior. Kind of makes sense...

Vegetarian doesn't mean low-protein. The "Beyond Burger," for example, has the same amount of complete protein as 80/20 ground beef, as does a half cup of red lentils.

Perhaps I need to be more clear myself. I do not think that you're criticizing the contributors, but I also do not think that you're criticizing the article. I think you're (inadvertently) criticizing an entire vein of scienc

It would seem, by your logic, that it is actually impossible for scientists to voice concern about anything, because once they do so, they can no longer be called scientists, only advocates. If that's the case, then I simply disagree w

She's a scientist with an extensive body of publications in this domain; same with Christine Payne and Sowmya Purushothaman, the other two "scientists voicing concern." I agree that the article would have benefited from more
