The context of the original post is a hiring manager moralizing only considering candidates from underrepresented groups. I think many people have a deep sense of empathy for the struggles of people trying to climb the economic ladder and s

Are you also college educated? Under 30, middle-aged or old? Why treat "White Guys" as a monolith?

This is something I suspect is happening at a wide scale and will only create resentment. I like to see Apple investing in things like the Propel center in Atlanta and a new coding program for kids and teens in Detroit. Ibram Kendi asserts

The Propel Center in Atlanta and a new coding program for young developers in Detroit are innovative ways at alleviating the issue of tech teams not resembling overall population, discrimination is not a creative solution and will only eve

We really do because our discourse is being dominated by crazy voices. What do you think about this? Minority, Women-Owned Businesses Get First Bid on New PPP Loans - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01

I started a project during the lockdown in March and eventually want to launch and make it a self-sustaining side project. I recently filed paperwork to form an LLC (my first) in anticipation of launching and perhaps trying my hand at fundr

While I agree with this, I think its important to keep in mind that students right out of college and who have not taken part in our society's big discussion on how to address racial/gender inequality and working towards equal pro

Do other countries track this metric as well? I'd be curious to study worldwide trends in the quality of work and study the efficacy of policy in trying to reverse this trend. I'm of the opinion that the future of work is focused

Idk what Facebook's decision will yield and I want a healthier discourse more than anyone else. The thing I would like to add to the conversation is that I think its important to know what people like Nick Cannon think or DeSean Jackso

I deactivated my account of 13 years, 4 weeks ago. As far as I'm concerned, its a propaganda machine the Soviets only could have dreamt of. Its a shame because I got to briefly meet Alexis Ohanian in person and he's a great guy. I

I can't say I share the same feelings as you, but it certainly would be great to see young Americans be more excited about the future and I think some big investment in infrastructure could be a way to make that happen. There are many

I think it is to some extent. The "Tyranny of the Majority" on internet forums pushes people to finding safe spaces for them. It's great that you can find subreddits for your interest and I even think they should exist for po

Its evident to me that our strategy to combat misinformation is not going great at the moment. I've been on Reddit for over 13 years and the site has gone through many changes. What if we changed our thinking from removing/flaggin

I think NYT has set a decent example with how to deal with internet comments sections. I like the idea of a US House of Representatives type approach to comments where every person in the house is given an equal amount of time to address th

A look at the charts tells a different story IMO. > Birthrates fell or held steady for women of all ages except those in their early 40s. Teenagers saw the sharpest drop, with a 5% decline in their birthrate. Since peaking in 1991, the t

This is unfortunate, but I also imagine that Uber may be one of the beneficiaries when it comes to re-opening later this summer if there are more people that choose to avoid taking mass transit. They have talented employees so I hope everyo

I understand that colleges charge the same tuition for online students and in person students, but what's preventing the schools from lowering the cost of online, part-time degrees as a way to increase enrollment? They may have hosting

Adversity isn't solely an economic argument though. It's a genuine effort to try to identify the true outliers. If you stand out significantly in a school district with a high absentee rate and low test scores it might indicate th

I expect a decently big infrastructure spending bill in the near future. It was even one of Trump's campaign promises and interest rates are near zero. I'm fiscally conservative, but I've seen the evidence from Southern Europ

If anyone enjoys reading about income inequality, I also recommend Joseph Stiglitz' book called "The Price of Inequality". He speaks of inequality more from an American perspective and he's one of the thought leaders I p

What about the College boards initiative to consider adversity? Has that initiative gone anywhere or is it dead? I would rather consider adversity of a child's upbringing in context of standardized test results then any immutable trait

I would argue that that’s true for most reddit users. The US House has rules for decorum in the political arena where people take turns speaking. Should we try to recreate that for the politics subreddit?

Please elaborate on the details of the case. You seem to be keenly aware of the nuances. I haven’t been following the case, but please let me know why you have reached the conclusions that you have.
