One major issue in this scenario: you don’t know who wants/can/will have kids. Discriminating against women because they have a uterus and might get pregnant and might have a probl…

If 43% of women leave the workforce after having a child, it’s still more likely than not that your employee is coming back. And my guess is that the number of women who plan to co…

What's interesting is that the author talks only about impact on children. I was under the impression that a large part of the argument for universal preK (and universal day-care, …

Do you have any links about the project? I'd be really interested to know more.

> Many universities in the AAU survey offered 6,000 students > $5 each to fill out the survey, yielding a total potential > cost of $30,000. But if you were willing to pay $30,000,…

Interesting - I'll check these out. But again, I'm not arguing that genetics don't have any impact on behavior - I'm arguing that getting from someone else's experience of appearan…

Do you have any studies about humans? Because I'm not aware of many that are clear-cut (of course, there's environment-gene interplay, but that is way more murky than anything talk…

Er... my point was that most superficial qualities don't have a 1-to-1 mapping on internal qualities. Height is another great example.

> Being swayed by superficial cues is not irrational if they correlate to the underlying qualities you are trying to judge. I'd be pretty careful about this line of argument. What …

> And when you refuse again, their job is to arrest you. Not really. Their job is to assess the situation and see if it make sense to arrest the person. In most cases, the answer i…

Thanks! Honestly, I would start with the wikipedia article about it ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersectionality ). It's a nice intro and has a lot of great links.

My bad - I was being sarcastic about the first comment, not sarcastic about the second (and agreeing with you). To more fully explain what I meant by my first response, I was frust…

Yup. It's annoying to hear that I should stop whining because the internet is fine, when he almost doesn't experience oppression in the same way.

> Whatever do you, do not make a scene, as that will burden the entire community with your issue... Remember, this is not the time or place to start these kind of discussions. Cool…

Yeah, it's almost like intersectionality is a thing.

Would you expect that amount of fudging to change over time? Arguing that fudging stats explains the drop in crime requires that you believe in the last 30 years police throughout …

So, not necessarily this article, but I haven't seen much in sociological or economics literature that's put forth one single reason crime dropped. There's argument over primary ca…

It doesn't really have anything to do with policy or working odd hours. Unless everyone presses enter at the same time, grades will be input at different times. (I'd love to see ad…

Different teachers putting their grades in at different times of the day? Sure.

In Yiddish (at least as spoken to me), it often has a masculine connotation.

One of the points in the article is that the first often leads to the second: if your idea of a programmer is white and male, and that predisposes you to trust the capabilities of …

Extra points for Orientalist views of Japanese femininity.

As mentioned in one of the other comments, you're getting NaN% for some success rates. I'm guessing it's because you're using the number of certified as the denominator, which will…
