This is a good point. Here's an open question: How do you know when you have enough positive discrimination? Do you just make sure that the representation of different groups is the same as in the population? This is a poor solution be

Yes, but what happens when the voice of science is underrepresented? Now read the grandparent comment again. Perhaps it's just that the people who actually have the useful-science-shit to do aren't in stupid discussion threads lik

I really like the "What You Can't Say" essay. Interestingly, what it says is not that speaking out is bad. It says that you must weight the benefit of speaking out to society, to the cost to yourself. It says you know what, s

Ugh. It doesn't matter how good your math is if your model is wrong. Here's an outline of what I believe to be a useful model, and some useful questions to ask, and experiments to run in real life to change things.

This was an excellent read about how to deal with the irrationality and repression of mobs. Thanks. Perhaps this is where anonymous speech is important as it allows the discussion of ideas without giving importance to the persons behind the

This discussion should be about empowering women. Not about painting people who've made mistakes with a brush. Not about placing blame. If a friend / family member of yours, a woman you cared about, was in a situation where she wa

THIS. What a wonderful study. Given a problem statement, the questions that emerge should objectively be largely based on the problem itself: the industry, competition, business models and risks. Regardless of whether it is being presented

Microsoft Dynamics / Salesforce allow you to set up a data model without any code. Turns out you still have to be able to model things, and understand the mental model for programming which is why people end up with hell on these syste

This is interesting. The only way to do it should be to sync your observation to other observers as soon as the observation is made. The other observers can confirm the time then by knowing when they received the information. Block chain wi

I've also been thinking that the world needs to begin banning American software. We already know that the totalitarian government that it's becoming is a threat to the privacy and rights of people worldwide. Avoid censorship and s

Thanks for engaging honestly with that forward comment. Yes, I have. No, I have not sold to engineers. To add some perspective: Airbrake/Sentry error monitoring; NewRelic monitoring; Pingdom uptime monitoring; Log management Ala Papert

Thank you for this. It was enlightening to go through the do not click link to see what this extreme viewpoint looks like first hand.

I second this. Looks like a less complete knex. Also, in recent times, I like objection.js for a level up on knex.

Here’s how to use the Us/Them instinct to our advantage. Us is merely what we empathise with and understand, that which is similar to how we identify with ourselves. The “Other” or Them, is farther away on this spectrum. We see that in

Proprietary drivers allow a lock in to fuschia os and devices allowing Google more control over the platform. We probably need open source hardware for this to go away and to be free.
