Which games do you play?

I love reading, however, I am sad to say, most books are NOT worth "it" (being read). There are many, many books in the world. Only very few of them are good. I don't know the perc…

"statements regarding biological differences between the sexes were so harmful, discriminatory, and disruptive as to be unprotected" I actually read the memo by Damore. But OK, "ba…

Social Justice Warriors are killing people, you just don't care, so you don't notice. They try to destroy lives - make people unemployable and outcasts in society. There have been …

Sure, I get your point - I just meant this wasn't supposed to be the rational discussion about women in tech. I would approach such a discussion in a different way. If I would put …

Comp meaning compensation? OK, I could understand that.

Google has a problem, or thinks it has a problem - in the Damore case it was "too few female engineers". So I would expect to use rationality to come up with possible solutions. Ho…

This is not a Google internal discussion, though, and I am not working for YCombinator. I am stating the fact that I would feel unsafe working for a company like Google. Whether my…

He didn't, though - he published his memo in an internal discussion group (after being encouraged to think about solutions in a diversity training session), and it was published wi…

That's a completely different way to frame it. "Here is a course on how to avoid the legal pitfalls in the workplace" is something I might be able to accept. Indoctrinating people …

I said "forced diversity training" is not the right way to go about it. I don't claim to have a recipe for converting racists. Maybe a good start would be not to hire them in the f…

That putting forth rational thoughts for discussion would label me a hateful, sexist person and get me fired? That the company bestows powers on "social justice warriors" (as is de…

I think forcing them to attend "diversity training" would be very likely to turn them into a more hateful person. That's what force tends to do.

I know he sued Google, not details, though. This statement by the NBL just proves to me that the NBL is a batshit crazy untrustworthy institution. (Add the NBL to the list of place…

"Well, it can be argued that he was fired for similar reasons.. Are you saying that it's okay depending on which 'side' (a whole other story) someone is on? " Good point. I guess w…

I find that completely mind boggling, tbh. What gets people excited about AirBnB? Is this just about perks (salary and so on)? Nothing against AirBnB, it might be a fine, solid com…

I consider this and the other article by the international relations guy to be very one-sided accounts. A couple of people are unhappy, out of a workforce of 100000. So what? It al…

Maybe part of the problem is that jobs are not forever anymore. So it is a good idea to hedge one's bets and have side projects.

Better AI would be fantastic. I always stopped playing after a while because the AI was too bad.

If women are more optimistic than men, then that alone could be sufficient to yield the results of the study (correlation).

Isn't that basically what dating apps are trying to do? I think "lighter" variants exists, for meeting friends, not just dates. Not that the situation couldn't be improved, though.…

Why not meet up with other people in the same situation (possibly also elderly)? I have at times invited friends who didn't want to celebrate with their family. But a complete stra…

Meaning you have received the event that it has been loaded?

Why shut it down and not sell it?

Here is some more information (in German): https://www.nebenjob.de/ratgeber/2479-ihr-recht-auf-den-zwei... If your second job leads to the total of your work taking up more than 48…
