"The program assists students in increasing their awareness of issues encountered by minority students in a predominantly white institution through conversations with current graduate students of color and with one another"
What happened to just fucking studying and treating people based on individual merits, not skin color? God American universities are lost
I can't take anything seriously from a person, who says
> "Now, don’t get me wrong here: I am one hundred percent aware that history regularly erases the contributions of women, and especially women of colour"
>well I tried but they dont have samples so I gave up, no point in spending hours in reading docs and setting up something for a build system that may be useless. It also seemed suspiciously identical to bazel with really no features that may be special in any way? I mean really, why use this and not just bazel. The webpage doesnt even say
I agree with this guy. It shouldn't be that hard to include an example of an advanced script.
Think it is his refusal to toe the valley's ideological line that's causing the obsession. He's pretty much the same guy he has always been but the landscape around him has changed. He refuses to change with it. That makes him confusing to those who have successfully bullied everyone else into groupthink compliance. Why won't he just submit to the hive?
I think being at the head of Palantir maybe gave him a deep understanding of what's really going on inside the federal government and he's a believer that there is indeed a swamp.
This seems to be one of the big issues that separates the Trump supporters from everyone else. Everyone else seems to think the government was run perfectly under Obama's presidency and Hillary's state department and Trump threw the whole world into chaos.
People are bad at thinking in absolutes. Humans always think in relative terms. Our perception of how well the government operates is in relation to how we perceive the change to previous governments. Obama, Bush, Clinton, Old Bush, Reagan all seemed kind of like a natural progression with some ups and downs. Trump is a breaking change . People are noticing it.
I see leftists posting articles about how normal Bush was. Do you remember Bush being Hitler just 15 years ago? I remember. It's all about comparison.
Obama was a scandal free presidency! Do you remember Obama getting a Nobel Peace Prize and then proceed to bomb 7 countries? Whatever happened to closing Guantanamo? Enabling the greatest surveillance state ever conceived? That's scandalous.
Now we all need to look at the design problem here. We have a choice architecture implying there are only two possibilities. Both of which don't represent the people.
The sooner we realize this, the sooner we can develop empathy for the other 50% of people. They're not so different from you. They don't feel represented properly either. But by virtue of the team 1 vs team 2 dynamic they still identify strongly with their candidate. We as a whole need to stop denigrating the other 50%; The idiots, the people that want to ruin your country. We need to see that they have the same wants and needs, and slightly different preferences, and just want to live a good life. We need to stop dividing. That's the game they want us to play. We shall not play it.
That's not at all clear. His appointments were full of people with horrifying conflicts of interest, to the point that his own party didn't support some of them.
And I guess the medias head exploded when everyone clapped at the RNC when he said "I'm proud to be gay, a republican and an American". Didn't you know republicans hate everything that moves, especially gays, womyn and African Americans?
This phenomenon isn't entirely new. Some man have seen it as "Scandinavian gender paradox".
Still, why are we surprised? We know instinctively, that there will never web 50/50 in some fields, because man/women just don't like it as much. It's sad that some people have to pretend to agree with the feminist narrative
Except some studies have shown countries with more equal rights country have worse gender stereotypes overall. And even if the studied were to be flawed, your "men and women have different tasted" theory is pure narrative as well. No study with any solid methodology has ever shown women and men have inherently different tastes when it comes to STEMs, and it's pretty much impossible considering the intertwined nature of nature and nurture and the very cultural nature of STEMs.
Worse, your account has been using HN primarily for ideological battle. We ban accounts that do this, for reasons I've explained at length at the links listed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16402816. If you'd please look through some of those, reread the guidelines, and use HN only as intended from now on, we'd appreciate it.
How can you advocate for someone leaving Silicon Valley based on his "philosophical jibberish", and at the same time promote diversity? "Diversity" increasingly means nothing. SV is one hell of a political echo chamber.
Diversity of thought, REGARDLESS of age,sex, skin color etc should be the goal, not ideological purity.
Putting the privacy aspect aside, this is gonna be hilarious with people "abusing" Alexa for jokes etc. As far as I now, Alexa can't be restricted to the voice of a single/some people.
