pdubs1··on New study: Software teams with more women communicate better
Yes, orange man bad indeed. Now that we are in agreement, please check the link I shared.

It is a coordinated campaign that began around 2010 to distract away from the occupy wallstreet movement.

It's an obvious "divide and conquer" strategy to take the social pressure off of the top class of ruling economic elites.

Shocking: Men and women aren't equal.

Sample size: 34, for determining "community smell" ahh yes how quantitative their metrics for that must be.

Nooo, this isn't politically biased at all ;)

They didn't SEEK this outcome of their study to conform with currently in-vogue political trends, not at all-- it's in no way biased ;)

No, no, you see-- We must get men to think, act and communicate like women! And women to think, act and communicate like men.

Yes, that's the answer-- Confuse people into thinking they're the same while demonizing men and elevating women with fake, clearly ideologically biased, nonsensical studies which use terms like "community smell".

Neomarxists/diversity-outraged: Women and men are equal.

Neomarxists/diversity-outraged: Women are better than men. We need more women in positions of power! (Search: "Entryism")

Noo... this couldn't be biased by current fad politics... not at all ;)

/sarcasm

In case anyone is wondering why Woke/SJW/identity-politics neomarxist messaging suddenly increased in the media in the 2010-2020 timeframe--

Here's an interesting summary of how usage of woke & SJW terminology dramatically increased in NYT publications since 2010 (alongside its increase in other forms of media).

https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2019/06/th...

The use of "Woke" & SJW terminology rapidly increased following the dissolution of Occupy Wallstreet movement in 2010.

Hint: It's almost as if media/politics/entertainment elites are encouraging the middle class to fight each other, rather than the top 0.001% ;)

pdubs1··on New Grad vs. Senior Dev
I have no CS degree or STEM degree.

Recently I worked on the same type of project as someone with 10 yrs of experience & a CS degree from Stanford.

A few months later, I created a project, and had a manager with a CS degree. However, when I left, that manager was unable to pickup where I left off, and he ended up leaving soon after.

I have less years of experience, but to me, what matters more is the time within that experience which was put into a relevant business model, product built, or past projects. I.e. a Senior Dev with a CS degree, vs. a New Grad with a Business Background & SWE Experience. It's apples to oranges in many cases.

Also, I'd echo another comment here:

>"daxfohl 1 hour ago [-]

> As a senior dev, I wish that I could say I always knew more than my interns, and that all the code that's there is because it was carefully planned to be that way.

>But more often than not, I don't, and it's not. "

pdubs1··on Show HN: Business Name Generator Powered by AI
I love the concept!

I'd echo what one person said:

It takes 1 word and add suffixes. No need for "AI" to concatenate suffixes from a suffix/etymology dictionary-- I imagine the results are practically the same.

That said, again I really like the idea.

I would like it to support a phrase, however, instead of just one word. I tried a 3 word generation, and it only focused on the first word, and just added suffixes to it.

I'd like to be able to add 3-5 meaningful words to it, and it puts together a meaningful/catchy new word or 2. (i.e. brand name-- doesn't have to be a real word)

pdubs1··on Firm wielding Theranos patents asks judge to block coronavirus test
So, then-- Is it infringing on this patent if any inventor goes and make a blackbox... into which a sample is placed, to have a biochemical/other chemical reaction take place for medical/biochemical testing, and provide a report of results, in an automated way?

TLDR: Then, Anything such as [Blackbox + inserted thing + reaction + report] would infringe on this patent?

Is what I mention actually true/probable? I would hope not, but just curious

pdubs1··on Post YC Depression
Maybe, or maybe you lack logic + specific situational insight. Perhaps you spoke too soon, before understanding.

Your case is true only if "YC" === "All Investors"
