I think the main lesson from Google was make sure the mainstream media agrees with your point prior to protesting it. If the media does not agree, they will ask for your head(s) and threaten to boycott your employer…
To whom shall I address the invoice for my time though?

I think the media and social justice movement also played a role. I distinctly remember people with very relevant credentials stating that it was impossible to obtain accurate clinical result from such tiny amounts of…
> Until we pay the most talented researchers It's not even that. One of the contributing factors is that we are no longer hiring for talent or merit. If you're a male child interested in science and in high school right…
This sums it up. Apple has built up a lot of good will over the last decade or so. It will take a while for current Apple to burn through it.
Also important: children became liabilities instead of being assets. Nearly all labour which a child could contribute to has been automated or reduced. In countries where children can be trusted with the responsibility…

Agree. A lot of the numbers seem suspicious as well, mostly in the expense around salaries. Time will tell if these are sustainable.
I'm amazed that there is no mention of the sheer repairability of these devices. I don't think I will ever encounter a laptop line that is generally so user-accessible. A couple of regular screws and you pop the case. A…
Could say the same about most journalism today as well.
The really interesting studies will be longitudinal IMO. It's almost certainly not going to be another tobacco, but it strikes me as impossible that smoking marijuana is harmless. Should also be interesting to see what…
AI also means we may finally get to ask the last question[1]. Reading that first sentence, it looks like we may actually be ahead of schedule. --- http://www.multivax.com/last_question.html
The really interesting part is the need to appoint two independent directors. Currently, Tesla's leadership could best be described as a monarchy, with King Elon appointing family and favoured friends. That will have to…

Commenting specifically on the black names example: I am skeptical because they replicated the results of a study on humans based on the Implicit Association Test. I would be generous in calling that the Myers-Briggs of…

The short of it is that the ACLU consider affirmative action a form of just racism. This form of racism corrects for past transgressions, helps achieve diversity targets, and "keeps the doors open" for minorities, so…
I think a lot of it stems from the dorm-ification of workplaces. Because the ROI is so good, employers want you to think of work as more of an institution that is heavily tied to your identity rather than just a place…
