I think the main lesson from Google was make sure the mainstream media agrees with your point prior to protesting it. If the media does not agree, they will ask for your head(s) an…

Move fast and break things™️.

To whom shall I address the invoice for my time though?

I would argue that this would be a new event in human history. I can't think of a single major civilization that was not religious in some capacity.

I think that the factor for Europe is immigration. A majority of new Europeans are Muslims and that is by far the fastest growing religion.

Come to Canada, you will be penalized so hard you'll wish the public health care system covered pre-crisis mental health. The good news is that because gender is a social construct…

> were themselves free of bias. At what point do we start growing people solely for the purpose of leading unbiased existences away from all of humanity? Of course these existences…

Because not all societies enshrine individual freedom as their primary value. China has historically valued orderliness, collective well-being, and personal sacrifice. This sucks f…

There seem to be many unique things to this year though: * Apple announces it will no longer report unit sales. This is a clear shift in strategy. * Orders have been cut not once, …

It strikes me as somewhat ironic that Nature would public this given that they recently tweeted: > Editorial: The US Department of Health and Human Services proposes to establish a…

I think the media and social justice movement also played a role. I distinctly remember people with very relevant credentials stating that it was impossible to obtain accurate clin…

> kill one journalist and the western world loses their shit. I would argue that the Western world largely didn't care, but the journalistic class which controls a large chunk of w…

> Until we pay the most talented researchers It's not even that. One of the contributing factors is that we are no longer hiring for talent or merit. If you're a male child interes…

I just hope the EU has the foresight to make the legislation enforceable in a post-EU European legal environment.

It's not that Wall Street will take over. It's that Silicon Valley has become Wall Street but it doesn't realize it yet. It still thinks it's those counter-culture rebels hacking a…

Yes, the 2018 MBPs with "fixed" keyboards still fail. Slightly less than pre-"fix", but still exponentially more than pre-2016 MBPs. If you get one, you really want to have an exte…

This sums it up. Apple has built up a lot of good will over the last decade or so. It will take a while for current Apple to burn through it.

The Jesuit approach was to teach people about Catholicism through all aspects of life, not just reading the Bible. Plays, music, and almost anything you could imagine would be crea…

Also important: children became liabilities instead of being assets. Nearly all labour which a child could contribute to has been automated or reduced. In countries where children …

Other important factors: * Diverse enough to extrapolate findings specific to other communities (e.g. the huge Chinese and South Indian population in urban Canada are still cultura…

> Plus, surface diversity is much easier to measure; and you optimize for your metrics. I think this is key. Until "diversity" becomes so absolutely fragmented that you get back do…

Well you know, if perhaps HR reviewed it's practices and didn't make discriminating against men a point of pride, then perhaps there would be less "failure-to-launch".

Unfortunately those bureaucrats are actually doing work. A good chunk of it is around Title IX since the consequences were so severe if you didn't have enough bureaucrats to handle…

It's funny how "the keyboard" actually identifies a number of issues, of which only one has been fixed: 1. The Memebar ("TouchBar") is thankfully gone. 2. If a single molecule of d…
