>This whole discussion is absurd. Next thing we'll hear is that swimming pools are racist. Um. For a long time they were. Public pools were subject to racial segregation. Glad we have an expert on racism like yourself to help set us

So you worked with film at the apex of its technological development and that makes you an expert on the beginning of the color era, when that technology was exceptionally expensive? Cool story, bro.

Twenty years of Photoshop and actual, honest-to-God darkroom experience enough for you? This community is so intellectually bankrupt.

Everyone needs someone saying something like the N word in an official document before they can buy that racism exists. It's not possible that capital follows racial lines (spoiler: it does) and that therefore incentivized products to

So to your mind it's more likely that the author is telling fish stories than it is the dominant financial caste ended up optimizing a given piece of tech to their best interest? Bokay.

It's hardly an accident that one of the most successful capitalist systems in the history of the world has, since the automation of agriculture, shifted to storing millions of people (read: excess labor) in a vast, growing prison syste

I'm afraid this isn't going to produce much beyond anxiety in your candidates. This leads to the sort of interaction where I'd end the interview early, thank the interviewer for their time, and high-tail it out of there never

You completely missed the "proportionally more dropping out," therefore expending three paragraphs saying nothing.

This is called the pipeline fallacy and ignores that companies hire at dramatically lower rates (0%-2% for blacks, 2%-3% for latinos) than there are graduates (4%-8%, depending on your source) for a given underrepresented background

The catch is Apple's supply chain management just got a ton simpler as they don't have to maintain separate SKUs by carrier for each iPad variant.

I'm not here merely to help women. I'm here to fight marginalization. That's my fight, too. In quite a big way. I respect that your approach may be different from my own—as marginalized individuals, we do have common cause. Y

Working for someone who thinks this exercise has been "cherry picking," who thinks it's the job of marginalized people to educate bigots, would be a horror show. Especially given the lack of self-awareness you've display

I'm not here to have a "discussion" with someone who's desperate to defend the powerful from facing their own malfeasance. Your remarks and lack of self-awareness show that you're part of the problem. I don't s

Y Combinator is a 30 billion dollar business. Hacker News is a big part of their operation. It's not the job of seagulls to organize oil spill cleanup.

"The reason why Women, Blacks and Hispanics are under-represented in tech boils down to the pipeline." Oh yeah? Then how come with blacks taking 10% of CS degrees and Latinos taking 8%, their representation at Google and Facebook

Obsessing over the pipeline is a handwave that doesn't address the outsize attrition afflicting actual women in current technical roles. To say nothing of how hostile the industry leadership can be to women (cf Richards/SendGrid,

It's nothing to do with how you said it. The point is that reading something like this, the least interesting topic is what the complainant could have done differently. The principle discussion is: never shoulda happened. Inappropriate

That may be so, but I think it's not a little pernicious for someone with standing and reach to say "Hayyyyy, so, I'm sure everything's FINE" when everything is not at all fine. Sloppy and counterproductive.
