The context of the original post is a hiring manager moralizing only considering candidates from underrepresented groups. I think many people have a deep sense of empathy for the s…

Are you also college educated? Under 30, middle-aged or old? Why treat "White Guys" as a monolith?

This is something I suspect is happening at a wide scale and will only create resentment. I like to see Apple investing in things like the Propel center in Atlanta and a new coding…

The Propel Center in Atlanta and a new coding program for young developers in Detroit are innovative ways at alleviating the issue of tech teams not resembling overall population, …

There are 2 hard problems in CS: - Cache invalidation - Naming things - Off-by-1 errors

We really do because our discourse is being dominated by crazy voices. What do you think about this? Minority, Women-Owned Businesses Get First Bid on New PPP Loans - https://www.b…

Thanks! I changed the visibility to make the repo public.

I started a project during the lockdown in March and eventually want to launch and make it a self-sustaining side project. I recently filed paperwork to form an LLC (my first) in a…

While I agree with this, I think its important to keep in mind that students right out of college and who have not taken part in our society's big discussion on how to address raci…

Do other countries track this metric as well? I'd be curious to study worldwide trends in the quality of work and study the efficacy of policy in trying to reverse this trend. I'm …

Idk what Facebook's decision will yield and I want a healthier discourse more than anyone else. The thing I would like to add to the conversation is that I think its important to k…

I deactivated my account of 13 years, 4 weeks ago. As far as I'm concerned, its a propaganda machine the Soviets only could have dreamt of. Its a shame because I got to briefly mee…

I would pay money for a feature like this

I can't say I share the same feelings as you, but it certainly would be great to see young Americans be more excited about the future and I think some big investment in infrastruct…

I think it is to some extent. The "Tyranny of the Majority" on internet forums pushes people to finding safe spaces for them. It's great that you can find subreddits for your inter…

Its evident to me that our strategy to combat misinformation is not going great at the moment. I've been on Reddit for over 13 years and the site has gone through many changes. Wha…

I think NYT has set a decent example with how to deal with internet comments sections. I like the idea of a US House of Representatives type approach to comments where every person…

A look at the charts tells a different story IMO. > Birthrates fell or held steady for women of all ages except those in their early 40s. Teenagers saw the sharpest drop, with a 5%…

There's something I've been thinking about lately and its the fact that I learned about the Black feelings of the Hasidic (Jewish) community moving to Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood…

This is unfortunate, but I also imagine that Uber may be one of the beneficiaries when it comes to re-opening later this summer if there are more people that choose to avoid taking…

I understand that colleges charge the same tuition for online students and in person students, but what's preventing the schools from lowering the cost of online, part-time degrees…

Adversity isn't solely an economic argument though. It's a genuine effort to try to identify the true outliers. If you stand out significantly in a school district with a high abse…

I think Affirmative Action made sense when it was instituted, but it was never intended to be implemented indefinitely. There is so much to talk about in this subject, but since it…

I expect a decently big infrastructure spending bill in the near future. It was even one of Trump's campaign promises and interest rates are near zero. I'm fiscally conservative, b…
