   I have friends that work there. This was not a gift, the took benefits from the workers to pay for this raise. In fact they pulled all of the bonuses from the lower level employees as well as their share of stock in the company. This is a d

   No you can't do that either. If you are old enough to remember the 80's and 90's, these same people that are whining about plastic now are the ones that forced us to use it because paper bags were killing the trees. Oh fun fa

   I am not sure why this point is not considered more seriously (maybe it is and I have just missed it). I feel that this article and most of the literature being written around this topic is skating around the issue without naming it. The re

   I have had similar issues on this site. I have had 3 high rep users of the site close a question I asked having never answered a single question in the technology I was referencing. That said I have never felt that because I was not white I

   I am aware of this theoretical law but never really considered it. I suppose this could explain why I encountered such push back against a distributed SOA architecture on commodity hardware at a large organization that was built around cent

   Isn't it peculiar how this is only a thing to consider depending on which way the political winds blow? I wonder if this will still be such a concern when the winds change...I'll not hold my breath though.

    I am in this same frame of mind. When I started out in development I quickly found how unwelcome my questions were. The thing these mods and many other higher rep users are forgetting about is that to the new person these not a dumb duplica

    This is a question that is asked quite often, there are in fact entire books dedicated to this very question. Be that as it may, in my opinion I think the answer is quite simple and not nearly as multidimensional as some would lead you to b

    That is an academically dishonest approach to this or any perceived issue. Anyone who would even begin to approach any issue in a manor as to prove a hypothesis true or untrue would follow the basic scientific method. There are many variabl

    I would say it could be either but none the less bias is a relevant variable that should always be considered. For example, studies on say smoking or the health benefits of a pharmaceutical performed by a tobacco company or big pharma respe

    Point me to the multiple variable analysis and the full report that demonstrates the clear evidence you mention. I have yet to find one and I have tried damn hard.

    I would further add that the credibility of the person performing the "study" is also no longer analyzed which it should be because implicit bias is a serious factor.

    Even if she did, it means nothing. The only way to assess equality is to undertake a complete multiple variable analysis of the topic. Isn't it funny how quickly we throw out the basics of the scientific method when the results are inc
