Which games do you play?
"statements regarding biological differences between the sexes were so harmful, discriminatory, and disruptive as to be unprotected" I actually read the memo by Damore. But OK, "batshit crazy" goes more for the…
Social Justice Warriors are killing people, you just don't care, so you don't notice. They try to destroy lives - make people unemployable and outcasts in society. There have been suicides, and lots of ruined careers.…
Comp meaning compensation? OK, I could understand that.
Google has a problem, or thinks it has a problem - in the Damore case it was "too few female engineers". So I would expect to use rationality to come up with possible solutions. However, as I said, I think Google is…
I said "forced diversity training" is not the right way to go about it. I don't claim to have a recipe for converting racists. Maybe a good start would be not to hire them in the first place?
That putting forth rational thoughts for discussion would label me a hateful, sexist person and get me fired? That the company bestows powers on "social justice warriors" (as is demonstrated for example by implementing…
I know he sued Google, not details, though. This statement by the NBL just proves to me that the NBL is a batshit crazy untrustworthy institution. (Add the NBL to the list of places I wouldn't want to work for...). I…
I find that completely mind boggling, tbh. What gets people excited about AirBnB? Is this just about perks (salary and so on)? Nothing against AirBnB, it might be a fine, solid company doing a good job. But what about…
I consider this and the other article by the international relations guy to be very one-sided accounts. A couple of people are unhappy, out of a workforce of 100000. So what? It also mostly seems to be political…
Maybe part of the problem is that jobs are not forever anymore. So it is a good idea to hedge one's bets and have side projects.
Better AI would be fantastic. I always stopped playing after a while because the AI was too bad.
If women are more optimistic than men, then that alone could be sufficient to yield the results of the study (correlation).
Why not meet up with other people in the same situation (possibly also elderly)? I have at times invited friends who didn't want to celebrate with their family. But a complete stranger would be too much for me (with…
Why shut it down and not sell it?
Here is some more information (in German): https://www.nebenjob.de/ratgeber/2479-ihr-recht-auf-den-zwei... If your second job leads to the total of your work taking up more than 48 hours per week, your employer can…
Maybe sometimes it is not loaded yet? (Just a wild guess)
That wasn't my experience, but most employers actually referenced that case in their contract, so I am not sure what the default rule is. Also, a second job is one thing. What about ownership of things you produce in…
I'm actually on your side with the "actions have consequences" logic. That still doesn't imply the consequences are "extinction of the human race". I'm also all for handling in ecologically responsible and sustainable…
What do you mean? Authority is a synonym on expertise, in that context. You claim certain people or institutions have the expertise on the subject to make the right call, so you appeal to their authority on the subject.
No the manipulation is the story about the abandoned settlement. I don't think you understood my point at all. The only assertion I made is that land being lost to the sea is not a new or outlandish thing. For that 14th…
That's nonsense. In Germany the default for contracts is that you need your employers permission to do side projects. Germany is in the EU.
Why not? If such things have happened before, it seems dishonest to use such imagery to conjure a scenario of doom. Maybe the risk is now higher, more frequent, different, whatever. Fine, then tell me so, show me the…
"intellectually dishonest" - seriously, what the fuck? You give no reason why you think so, and I don't see why I should have to disprove your belief. (edit: presumably you refer to the lines where I say you claim to be…
Am I the only one who gets angry at stupid "mood setting" in such articles? It leads with the picture of an abandoned settlement that has turned to marshland, only to reveal that it was deliberately given over to the…
