The Holocaust and the events that lead up to it were directly related to new studies about DNA and genetics. That exact line of thinking is what caused the Nazi population to pick out specific groups as a whole. And…
This "type of person" kind of study and discussion is fairly dangerous stuff historically. It's quite literally what lead to the Nazi Holocaust. And is common fuel for the type of terrorist attack we just had in New…
For almost 70% of US taxpayers this is the case. Free of charge tax payment. You literally type in your address and other info along with your w2(these days many w2s have codes where you only have to type in a number…
Generally employers figure out who left the bad review and threaten legal action to the person who made the review. It isn't Glassdoor that removes the review but the person who wrote it.
If anything your comment speaks to the weird paradox of who is responsible for a corporation's actions. Is it the shareholders? Is it the CEO? Is it the employees? Is it the board? Is it the customers? It almost ends up…
For what its worth, Volkswagon did have at least one engineer(software) convicted for the emissions issue[1]. With that said, I don't know if that is applicable here as I'm not even aware of what the potential charges…
The joke is that this is a browser setting. Its just set to "Always accept without asking" by default.
It's all subjective in that most people who want to draw or paint, likely have completely different ideas of what being good at that is. "Drawing from the right side of the brain" is basically just a brain hack to allow…
I wonder if you can help me understand this better. Why does a specific private university need let in the smartest or most capable students? What does that have to be their goal or they are unjust? Why can't they have…
No, it's just typical Twitter/Facebook era reactionary writing. The author is likely in some type of bubble, probably behavioral science, possibily behavior nutrition, and feels an artificial need to right the wrongs of…
My rule has always been: "write down the entire manual process". Follow the steps and do a deployment and time it. Do you have that much time? Are you likely to make an error? If not, just do it manually. If so, break…
I find it interesting that in other building projects, like in construction, almost all of the pressure and responsibility for meeting deadlines is placed upon the project management. Not the ones doing the direct…
I'd also be curious about the criteria for "abuse" and "bullying". I imagine there are technical definitions but I did not see any in the abstract. I've found there is massive deviation between what co-workers I've…
> in rare circumstances where they tried correlating them That is definitely not a rare circumstance. I would be shocked if any data company at reasonable scale was not actively doing that.
I'm getting up there in age and have always resigned to the fact that I'll probably be making significantly less money in 10 years or less in a low skilled job unless I get lucky. I don't want to go into a full…
I'm pretty sure AirBnB acquired HotelTonight so they can legally speculate about owning a much larger share of overall travel booking, including traditional hotels, on their S-1.
The issue is that once a job can be done remotely or moved to a cheaper city, it can usually just be moved to a different country where the labor is much cheaper. We will likely not see jobs move to less expensive areas…
It is common for first time home buyers to get a significant portion(if not all) of their first deposit for their mortgage(often 20%) from either family assistance or inheritance. This is especially common in the more…
Because it's an easy line to draw. Don't take the money. Problem solved. The other things you listed do not have such a simple solution.
Because in the US we have a market economy. Taking family assistance when others do not have it, distorts the market and also distorts the very concept of merit based rewards. Which is the fundamental device of the…
Yes. In a market economy it is wildly unfair to take family assistance because many people do not have access to it.
Yes, absolutely. It is wildly unfair to those who do not have access in a market economy.
I can't believe this would be a shock to anyone. How else does a first time home buyer come up with a 20% deposit on a $500,000 house? There are obviously exceptions, but generally speaking that's where the money comes…
I can't even count of both hands the number of people I grew up with that cannabis has completely wasted away their life. Remember, in the era of dabs and edibles, recreational dosage is massively higher than it was in…
Nope. You are exactly correct. The way to approach removing bias in all personal financial decision making, algorithmic or otherwise, is to only allow it to be based on previous individual financial behavior. The…
