It did also win against two male players - you can see some of the replays and the scores in the actual sony publicity video here: https://ace.ai.sony/ . Most notably the best player it played (#64 last year) it lost against

Maybe I'm not surprised by this because I work in higher ed, but that ratio of administrative staff vs faculty is not really anything to write home about. I work at a top 10 business school, and our staff/teaching ratio is about 5

That's the thing though, you're calling someone being forced out because they hold a bigoted position 'lynching'. You're equivocating what has historically been an act of racially provoked murder with the removal of

Of course not, because that's grossly impractical. There are easy ways of dealing with that - You can first work with the assumption that most people are fundamentally good human beings who don't carry hatred or bigotry around in

There is no room for hate speech and bigotry in tech. They cause harm now, and promote harm in the future. You're using censorship as an attempt to wring a personal grievance on the behalf of people who would hide behind their hate spe

Not at all - I don't read Orson Scott Card anymore, because he's a bigot. That is a decision that doesn't touch upon whether or not his books are any good. When it comes to code, there's no piece of code or software prod

Opposing gay marriage causes harm because it's active oppression, and because it's a argumentative shield for people who have direct opposition to gay people themselves. There are no strong arguments against gay marriage beyond bi

You're right - you can't ensure that they won't use your work for bad, that's true. You can try to lessen the impact by making sure they're not part of your organization or community. Excluding them does help me, be

Reform is not the intent, although it is the criteria for re-inclusion. The intent is to create a community that respects all of it's members rights. Excluding the co-worker helps me because I don't have to worry about whether the

Sure - but this has long surpassed 'ideas and opinions'. Oppression of gay people, minorities, and other marginalized groups is not founded in 'opinion' - it's a fact and representation of life. Gay people are cur

It's materially different because militant vegans don't try to infringe upon my rights. The difference is that if you were advocating for veganism as strongly, I can point to the fact that nobody is being hurt by that advocacy. If

That's a false equivalency - members of a community hating each other is not the same as members of a community conspiring to oppress other members of a community. The idea that two reasonable human beings will find something they don&

You should not be able to hold whatever views you like and participate in the community. There is no form of bigotry that belongs in software. The problem is not that these are just controversial topics - They're beliefs and actions

Really? You think that this is exclusively a matter of hygiene and style ? I don't know what's worse, that you're so misinformed about the existence of white privilege, or that you feel comfortable trying to bring some edgy

I recently moved from a large (40k employees) company to a small one (600). Performance reviews at the large company always involve a lot of paperwork, self reviews, and hoping that your manager gives you good feedback. Reviews are rated fr

Because it's not just about issues - I don't exclusively want someone to interact with me in a setting that's centered around the content. I would preferably like the experience to be more free form and open to a wider audien

Part of the problem is the sheer amount of racism and harassment. How many times do twitter eggs and other hate speech peddlers get reported without anything happening? Why does Twitter drag their feet over this? Nobody will miss the neo-na

I mean - this seems like you don't actually use the service. I do JS development, and I can pretty reliably get someone like Dan Abramov or other JS 'rockstars' to look at/comment on an issue if it's required. Addit

This seems like a particularly poor example just because the author is trying hard to graft vue/React onto an older style of web development. Why bother using either if you're relying on jQuery?

Or: Which of these is unethical. Your brother bob wants your opinion on his home insurance. One of your neighbors jokes about the recent storm damage hiking his premiums. Our local competitors offer you 20k to consult during work hours.

I went to Ohio State, and the above poster is presenting a point of view that only someone who has never lived there and probably never visited can hold. Nowadays you can walk from the OSU campus in Old North Columbus all the way down Short
