That's not really moving the bar though - false positives are undesired errors. Also, at Google hiring decisions are made by committees using feedback collected from the interviewers. Presumably they don't discard the first interv

Though if you read the memo carefully, Damore doesn't actually make the claim that Google lowers the bar for women in the sense that they hire women who are less capable. His complaint is that Google lowers the bar in the sense of redu

You absolutely have a right not to be outraged or offended by someone's opinion at your place of employment if you work for a company with any sense. Companies that play fast and loose with HR risk becoming the next Uber - a company wh

There are way more than five people per train at any time of the day or night. Besides all the people with night and early-morning jobs, there's also the fact that bars are open until 4 AM. They call New York "The City That Never

This seems like the biggest feature these devices have been missing. Some use cases off the top of my head: * Alexa, call my phone (because I can't find it) * Alexa, call for Chinese food (okay everyone call out what you want) * Alexa,

Why don't you move to Long Island and commute? If you don't like the city there are plenty of smaller towns nearby and it's cheaper too.

The title clearly states what the (non-partisan) report says without making any implications whatsoever. Are we really going to complain about lack of bias in the media now?

In the end, what really differentiates these companies? There aren't many reasons to pick one over the other. Any opportunity that Lyft has to say "Hey! We're different" is good for business.

There may not be a fundamental right, but there are some very practical reasons to allow permanent residents and people who already hold valid visas to enter the country. Those documents are very difficult to obtain, often requiring sponsor

Your radical time standard reform undoes your first change - it's already based on the number 12, remember? 24 is two 12-hour periods - A.M. and P.M. and 60 minutes/seconds is 12 five-minute/second periods (the numbers on a c

You actually can use a regular IRC client with Slack. Though obviously anything that isn't supported natively by IRC comes through as a URL or encoded somehow. https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/201

I have to add though that if you actually need that kind of space near New York then you have to be willing to endure a serious commute. In the most expensive parts of the city studio apartments are pushing $1M.

I have done hired.com twice and though I ended up taking different jobs both times, it was a really good experience. A lot of companies came in with offers around the salary I requested, and they were all senior roles.

In my example the Indian family was denied the apartment when they showed up to apply. Your advice would not apply in this situation.

The topic of race in america is a complex one. But our understanding of it evolves over time, just like in every other field of study. As a technical matter, the definition of racism is "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directe

Google has a salary band for each role that they are very careful to maintain. If you're getting promotions then you're also getting substantial raises. The trick is that those promotions are very (very) hard to come by and requir

The idea of a safe space is very much similar to the way a christian university might work. There are clubs and groups on campus that declare that the room in which they operate, while they are in session, as a place where they are free to

I'd like to question your assertion that such profiling obviously does work. A quick google search finds plenty of material claiming the opposite, but since you said it I was wondering if you could back this up at all.
