Roughly $350/mo at this point, and I’d love to 10x it this coming year. I have an Etsy business that I set up last year that doesn’t require much input from me and uses third party fulfillment. I average about 30 sales per month includ

Most of these are agreeable enough. "Unconscious bias training" seems like a bit of a stretch, but I haven't taken it to know whether it's helpful. 2, 3, 4, 6 are fair, I'd say. > 5. Consider salary transparency

What reasoning does Damore have to lie?

by turtleofdeath 9y ago
Right, and I get that your counterpoint is against the person above you. However, that doesn't change the context of Damore's argument, which is saying that interests may differ due to differences in cognitive ability and that the

> Damore's memo states a lot of things about Google's recruiting practices that are still to be proven truth. Lowering the bar is one of them. That's true and an excellent point. If he's lying about Google's recr

Exactly. Affirmative action causes everyone, including the person, to question whether they got there on merit or based on filling some quota. Multiple biases are created.
15.
by turtleofdeath 9y ago
Yes, but this raises the issue of affirmative action causing bias about innate abilities, and that's absolutely true. If you knew there were a lower bar for people who had red hair, for example, because there's a pay gap and the

For what it's worth, he did run the document by others at Google and -- based on what I've read -- they were the ones who spread the document, not he. That's not to say he didn't intend to do it at some point, but that i

I know this is unrelated to the post but I am genuinely/respectfully curious (since you left it as a bullet) as to the chain of logic that makes it okay to tax higher income people more. I've never understood that. Full disclosure

It's great. I'd like more of a description up front of what it does, but beyond that, I have few complaints.

Good points. I guess if a service like Uber is barely profitable, it won't make sense. On the other hand, if there's a good profit margin to be made, I'd want to see how well it does (at least in a model. I suppose I can look

tl;dw: Basic Income has been so thoroughly theorized and determined to be a stupid idea that we shouldn't try it or we'll end up a welfare state forever.
