Can you share approximately what fraction of the documents got filtered out with your toxicity detection? Also, I wonder what thresholds you used on Detoxify for filtering?

> 3. The education itself, which should be intellectually challenging (more or less depending on subject, with STEM subjects usually moreso, especially at top tier schools)

Your implication that non-STEM fields are less intellectually challenging is pretty insulting. Have you enrolled in a non-STEM degree? Do you have evidence that writing a treatise on comparative literature or archeology is less intellectually challenging than pushing out some code or solving some derivatives? Please choose your words carefully when communicating.

Am I the only one made uncomfortable by someone asking if 170k is a good salary, and made even more uncomfortable by the people inquiring if that's enough to maintain a decent quality of life? 170k is over 2.5x the median income in Seattle, and people start families and find contentment with far less.

Perhaps a less entitled way of phrasing the question would have been "Is 170k an appropriate salary for a software dev in Seattle?" I think my issue is with the implication that 170k might not be a good salary to maintain high standard of living.

As tech workers with the potential to earn these large sums, we should be aware of our privilege, and cognizant of how the rest of the population lives.

On Google Maps, your zoom factor is any real number within a range. On Open Street View, you are stuck using one of several predefined zoom levels (integers 1-20).

To test out, try modifying the "10" in both of the links below: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7058316,-74.2581905,10z

https://maps.here.com/?map=40.71455,-74.00714,10,normal&x=ep

OpenSteetMap is very difficult to compare to Google Maps as it uses pre-rendered raster map images at fixed resolutions, rather than a dynamic vector-based approach. For me at least, this makes it far slower to load in non-cached areas, and the lack of precise zooming is super annoying.

> I would take a guess that this kind of feeling isn't present for the vast majority of women -- indeed, there was no danger.

I can attest to this. My friends in computer science - both male and female - make bad sex jokes all the time. We all laugh at them.

I don't think it's fair to assume that only men can enjoy dumb jokes.

When Apple came to my university to run an engineering recruitment event, they flew in 12 employees to speak with us, zero of which were female. When asked by the audience about the presence of female engineers at Apple, they sputtered some non-sensical reply. If not enough women are applying for engineering jobs at Apple, then at least one of the reasons is that the company is not making sufficient effort to try and recruit them.
