Link to the paper for anyone that wants to look more critically at the study. https://sci-hub.do/https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.10...
So, first off, that number is not the average, it's the median. Quoting from Table2 "Data are presented as median (25th percentile–75th percentile]." The paper isn't on nonfree testosterone in general, but in the…
We live in a world where google exists, hell where scihub exists. It's extremely suspicious to show up in a forum "asking questions" when these resources exist. Getting told to "fuck off" in this context is basically…
You have to always remember it comes down to scale. The fact that making the claims is always less work than debunking them already has the balance of power way off into the claimant end. So anyone moderating anything…
Especially since, a year later, the answer seems to be "selling how to build a Twitter following" self help videos. [0] This is just someone who desperately needs to justify why he retired early (which is a perfectly…
Comparing being "forced" to commute hours (in a house that you chose to live in when you took the job) is a bit disingenuous to being actually forced by a pandemic to not go into an office. Im happy for all the people…
I fully agree that opening up the offices before there's a vaccine is very unsafe and shame on any company that brings people back early but it's not just extroverts that want to go back to the office. Speaking as an…

I think a lot of what gets seen as ageism is push back against the explosion of "software developers" (i use this term very loosly) that cropped up during the dot com boom. Especially in industries that aren't purely…
So all of the negatives of working at an office (distractions, commute, etc) with none of the perks (free food, good tech, access to coworkers). I enjoy the office as a perk (with wfh an as needed thing rather than a…
That assumes my compensation is already at the upper bound of my cost/benefit axis for the company instead of close to the minimum bound to keep me from looking to advance elsewhere. Better question is how much more…
The amount of just unsourced vitriol of your comment is unapproachable. Like, jsut, do some basic math. If you assume roughly even distributions of talent across gender and compound the fact that people tend to not like…
Not the best example, given google lets you toggle your ad segments when they get them wrong and isn't baisising that guess based on physical presentation; the ad segment "male" is just a comment on the things you…
Red heads are less than 2% of the population and yet if you built a classification system that failed to identify them as people that wouldn't be seen as acceptable either. Trans people have been around forever, and…
I have no idea where you're from that computer science has a "stereotype for geniuses". And I'd also go so far as to say computer programming still isn't a high prestige position. My best friend's mother still asks if…
NPR had an excellent piece on this a while back. https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2014/10/21/357629765/when... tldr: home computers were gendered male (because video games) and cs 101 curriculums started presupposing…
To put more concretely, I've observed, especaily among tech circles, the tendency to assume "if the system works for me, it must work for everyone". I'd propose that that kind of mindset is what is what drives a lot of…
Ignorning the fact that many engineering orgs can't hit 10% let along 18%; you've already lost if you've restricted your pipeline to "has a CS degree". Statistically your company isn't actually hiring for jobs that need…
Misgendering isn't about your ability to name someone's gender; it's just having the basic decency to use the pronouns they prefer and core empathy to realize some people may experience the world differently than you.…
The problem with crowd sourcing, especially in the LGBT space, is it's really vulnerable to brigading. Give particularly bored and hatful people a bat to shut down channels they don't like and things go south fast.
That's such a weird metric. Like "build a home", where? Raise a family, how large, how educated, how well provided for? Ditto for leisure goods like vacations. I think a better base line is targeting an individual.…
Im going to be biased by my experience, but, I've only encountered one problem i'd consider explicitly trick trivia (and it wasn't on the white board, it was one of these "solve this problem on hacker rank to get an…
N=1 I 100% quit the first of March such that I was covered for that month. Pretty much my only option to keep my perscriptions and scheduled blood tests affordable. And Im a tech worker with piles of disposable income,…
The cost to the commons is pretty substantial though. One person sleeping on a bench vs 5 people sitting, a subway car with 50 people vs a subway car with one and the smell of death. These kind of features address…
