(I'm more on your side than not.) What does it even mean for 'society' to 'have a bias'? That individuals in group G fare worse in situation S, all other things being equal, than individuals in other groups? If you

Black females don't have the time in the day to get arrested. White women live in a consequence-free environment until they don't. A dozen other things. It depends how frank we all want to be. >Black males are disproportionatel

NFLX would prefer we not measure their offerings against AMZN's. That's what I think, anyway. Amazon has more headliners than they know what to do with - they rotate them on and off Prime's frontpage regularly enough to give

Good. Drive them into the ground, Jeff. What was it, 2003-04 when Blockbuster's engineering team sent Netflix that concession letter? 10 years go by and guess who's stuffing their bra for lack of content.

Really, really great. Very ambitious. I see no viable solution to the issues people are griping about without forking over buttloads of money every month. Maybe someone on HN does, though - we can only hope you'll detect that helpful c

Owen, I would submit to you that an analysis of Twitter's, for lack of a better word, design decisions can't be made without putting more thought in re: who they are as a company and what their tendencies are. What sticks out abou

Yes, the audience's ability to relate to the protagonist matters. Intend? In the trivial sense, you can guess; in the broad, unknowable.

Agreed; nowadays anywhere you go, there's some snarky dude saying 'hardly'.

A strict consequentialist wouldn't waste time with politics; he knows the input/output ratio is a billion to one.

Either that and/or people on the internet are more extreme. Specifically the ones who write the things on the links you choose to click.

You must not frequent any niche subreddits. In the sports subs, everybody knows everybody.

The risk of potentially ending your company? Not unless you view those unique capabilities as being a 10x force multiplier.

No, because I read 1000x times more of the one than of the other, and I personally see and experience one and not the other. That you'd even bring up the comparison makes me think you're not taking this seriously, as a reality to

That's nice. I don't feel like you're talking to me; I feel like you're talking to a person in your head.

Those two also actively recruit Mormons for their very-above-average patriotism. Which is neither here nor there, but hey. As good a thread as any to go OT.

I'll be more than tempted. To be 100% honest, I have that thought every single time I read any article or blog post about sexism in tech. If programmers with a Y-chromosome are exponentially less likely to either sue us or get us label

If the history of Preferred Medical Term(s) for Mentally/Physically-Challenged Individuals is any indicator, that theory is lame.

Fair; I was under the impression most of that talk stayed in-house, so to speak. Are you referring to portrayals just by Americans which reach British shores, or portrayals by Britons as well?
26.
by gametheoretic 13y ago
Honest question. Seriously. For Britons only-- What's with the Guardian and "From my perspective, America's not so great!" articles? Not, like, "how could anyone think that?" but why does it seem to be such a r

Not a direct article comment: I'm asking this to anyone who supports the activist approach to the women in tech problem. a) If you had to put a number on it, what would you deem the percentage chance that this school of thought is actu

Are you... asking if there is such a thing as a money tree? Plenty (>90% ?) of people will tell you otherwise, but there's a case to be made that "investment" in public stock is essentially a game of reverse-routlette (i.e
