its just an unedited video. Just watch it if you care at all.

Software companies actually do this? That is the least efficient way for the company and the candidate to go through the interview process...

The "Why we sleep" book is just full of facts about the difference between a good nights sleep and a lack of sleep. There are so many things that fall apart when a few hours are taken off and nobody can be conscious of it, even though they are very very measurable. He also discusses thing like how two groups of people get a night of good sleep, they learn something and get 3 days of quality sleep. Then one of the groups has their sleep limited by several (3/4?) hours. The following day they get full nights rest, and the next day they are tested on what they learned earlier in the week and there were significant deficits for the group that had that one night of bad sleep in the middle of the week.

After reading about it, I've learned a lot more about sleep, but the greatest effect is that I really appreciate sleep more, make lots of time to optimize length and quality. Knowing all the info in the book it would be difficult to justify using an alarm clock to force yourself to rise before your body is ready.

Really cool book.

At a certain age, the risk vs quality of life makes testosterone worth entertaining, atleast I think so.

Many of the comments here align very closely with ideas presented in the unabomber manifesto.

On principle our justice system is based on preventing harm of law abiding citizens, and not to harm the guilty. Allowing the guilty to forgive themselves might be a luxury, but it wouldn't violate justice even though it feels merciful.

Many proponents of AA may admit that things are near fair now, but they used to be much worse. so AA this is just reparations for the past injustice. If that is the case then fixing underlying issues would have less of an effect than we would expect.

It makes sense because if most black children grow up in poor fatherless homes (and that is the cause of the majority of inequality), its not because white people are discriminating but maybe because that is just the state the black people are facing.

A good (race agnostic) way to solve it is just account for the fact the someone is fatherless and they come from low income households. Totally eliminates race.

Blacks will still be helped but unfortunately asian individuals will still have a large hurdle[0]

Its just the discriminate is a loaded word now, but it just means to differentiate, which is perfectly ok to do.

Like by IQ, achievements, attitude, etc.

Legacy admissions is a separate issue which basically everybody would be in favor of removing because such a tiny tiny minority of kids actually get that benefit.

After that only reasons you've listed for affirmative action have to do with economics. Why not just be race agnostic and then factor in income? As time passes races will fall in and out of the income brackets and nobody can argue its unfair.

You're right, the wording is just not accurate. I mean, something like fighting for equal rights vs fighting for domination.

Equality is empowering but celebrating control over the other gender makes it about power over another.

more damning? We don't even know what was stated in the email. Other pieces will give examples of what happened and sometimes even evidence.

This article just sounds like celebration of a power imbalance. To me, reading articles like this push me further from viewing social movements as noble search for equality but instead a gendered focus on gaining power compared to men.

Could be.

Could also be the people that are bombarding the average citizen with all of the atrocities committed by trump, from how many scoops of ice cream he gets to the trade war.

People love to hate trump, but it also becomes tiresome and stressful when people are constantly bombarded with analysis of tweets, off hand comments, and other decreasingly trivial things, and then finally mix in all of the instability of global politics.

It sounds like you are comparing a viewers relationship with bill cosby to this person's relationship with the HR rep.

People that knew bill well knew he was weird before he got hit with all the accusations. He would do weird stuff like order people to stand/sit infront of him and watch him eat.

it seems strange that the one intersection of economic status and subject that boys excel at is being attributed to environmental factors like gender roles(which western culture is seeking to reduce/eliminate) but there is no investigation to the massive discrepancy in the reading gap.

>High-income parents spend more time and money on their children, and invest in more stereotypical activities, researchers said, enrolling their daughters in ballet and their sons in engineering

>The gender achievement gap in math reflects a paradox of high-earning parents. They are more likely to say they hold egalitarian views about gender roles. But they are also more likely to act in traditional ways – father as breadwinner, mother as caregiver

>There is also a theory that high-earning families invest more in sons, because men in this socioeconomic group earn more than women, while low-earning families invest more in daughters, because working-class women have more job opportunities than men.

When boys start outperforming girls, the authors attribute it in part to parental bias towards boys, or societal expectation, but girls succeeding across entire economic ranges in reading is just par for the course.

Even at the end of the article the focus is on undoing what the authors consider to be the boys' edge in mathematics by balancing expectations between genders (read, encourage girls and manage boys expectations) to increase achievement for girls, even though they admit these expectation support boys flourishing just slightly.

>One way to boost achievement in math, researchers say, is to avoid mention of innate skill and stress that math can be learned. Another is to expose children to adults with different areas of expertise, and offer a wide variety of activities and books. Gaps are smaller when extracurricular activities are less dominated by one gender.
