Except in my opinion I'm not lying. And I never told you how my experiences influenced my hiring policies (they didn't I believed equal opportunity). The best you can claim is that my views are misguided but your…
Carlisle I don't know if you're going to read this. Before I met you I truly believed in equal opportunities for both sexes. I also believed that men and women have different advantages when it comes to gender and that…
How does two flags make me not a feminist? My reputation or two flags has nothing to do with whether or not I'm a feminist or not. It doesn't even make sense how I was flagged. I literally worked in a place where a…
>Your complaints are entirely anecdotal, meanwhile it's very easy to point at empirical data showing how women are treated poorly. Show me the data for this specific case of horizontal movement in engineering…
Because I support equal opportunity for all genders. I assume this is what feminism supports as well. Is there somewhere in my post where I implied otherwise? Please cite what I said that made you think I am not a…
Good point. It's an attraction thing. Women who are unattractive do not have these advantages.
So your saying women have zero advantages over men? That absolutely none exist or has ever existed? Out of all possible advantages (let's say 1000 in total) your saying men hold 100% of all these advantages and women…
>The problem is that you are likening her to a janitor to create the impression that she has zero programming experience. You're completely right. Change "janitor" to "janitor who went to bootcamp" and my statement…
I did. I responded because imo under normal circumstances nobody would be offered this kind of deal. It doesn't make economical sense for the company. She was given leeway and my guess is because she's a woman among…
Nothing wrong with being a feminist. Both genders deserve equal treatment. I consider myself to be a feminist.
How is my statement biased? Men can suffer from unfair treatment as well. I never said anything to discount feminism, I simply stated one case where men are treated less well then women and I caveated that statement…
I didn't say anything hateful towards women. I think women get this better treatment then men but I didn't say they should turn it down nor did I say they didn't deserve it. I simply pointed out a difference. And what…

If she didn't get a pay downgrade to associate swe then she is not even remotely close to starting from scratch. The company is basically letting her learn a new field on their dime, which is fine, but this is basically…
When I said you're the guy that can see the bright side of dog shit I was startlingly accurate. You're that one guy people call "excessively positive." Every time your brain sees something related to "science" it…

Let me clarify. I mean “intelligence from the perspective of modern ML” is just an optimization problem.
It’s even boring to technical people. It reduces intelligence to a multidimensional optimization problem. Now intelligence just involves all kinds of mechanical ways to fill out the weights for a neural network. I use…
There’s really bad statistics for the children of divorced parents. It may be healthy in your some cases but it’s damaging to the child.
This doesn’t effect the result. They are comparing people with children. If you didn’t have children or aborted a child it’s the same as not getting married. You simply aren’t part of the study because you are…

Read carefully. The distinction here is that the type checker must allow for intended behavior within JavaScript while checking for an error. The type checking I am talking about is not a sum type. It is not that the…
It's also clear meaning light passes through this baryonic matter. My question is, how do we know that the "dark matter" we assume to be littered all over the universe isn't just clear baryonic matter? I know that we…
Would it be possible for all the missing matter to be just unseen baryonic matter? How are we sure that most of this is exotic dark matter?
It is very possible for a type checker to catch this mistake. I illustrate the intuition here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26046808
