>We used to teach kids to be colorblind but now we're teaching them to see nothing but color.

I don't think either method worked.

>Pinterest has a Head of Diversity [1]. Her name is Candice and she's great.

I think the question is: What does the role actually do? The cynic in me says it exists to signal that your company cares about diversity. Okay, but after the hiring decision is made, based on whatever criteria make the company properly diverse, what happens? Does this person act as a recruiter for underrepresented people?

>Calling a company with a head of diversity bloated for instance is telling of your politics.

Calling a company with a head of diversity-- and that loses tons of money-- bloated, is sensible business acumen. Unless you blame earnings woes on diversity issues.

>Many of these comments seem to indicate that lots of people are threatened by diversity

Because the position of "VP of diversity and inclusion" sounds ridiculous?

>These results suggest that racial discrimination is still a prominent feature of the labor market.

This surprises precisely no one. What does it have to do with the article?

>But we will also see a huge proportion of sites that could use it continue to ignore it for years to come. There are big business opportunities in finding ways of making a dent in that portion of the market

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I think there are pockets of HN that are out of touch with the reality in SMBs across the country (and planet). Often these businesses are struggling to track data, let alone utilize it for decision making or analyze it any sophisticated manner. "Out-of-the-box" ML will be another tool in the toolbelt in these instances.

So, sure, if you are trying to build Massive ML Tech Co., you won't be able to hire a few devs who watched a ML series on Coursera to achieve that goal. But there's ample opportunity to apply that knowledge elsewhere.

>I personally know people who went to the Standing Rock camp that were not paid protesters.

I didn't see OP claim that there weren't "real" protesters, only that some were paid.

>Any place doing serious ML

Good thing the vast majority of businesses won't need "serious" ML, but instead will require only simple implementations to help solve business problems.

>Prime has a boat-load of movies and tv shows available for free or pay to watch on demand.

...in the US.

>Or buy it and wait hours to download it?

How it it streamable on Kodi, but takes so long to download from a legitimate source?

How valuable is this without any of the discussion context surrounding these books? It seems unlikely that I'm going to purchase a book based on a metric like "mentions", when much of the discussion could be negative. I mean, I get it from the perspective of scraping/development practice, but it doesn't feel overly useful. And I'm a book hunter.

>I personally have 4 factors for my gmail account

Tack this on to the list of reasons why no normal person will use bitcoin in any quantity.

So why aren't the sellers before PE and buyers after PE aware of the fact that no value is being added by PE in the interim, and hence sell cheaply and overpay?

Why is it so obvious to you, but not these other people? How does this charade perpetuate? Maybe there is value in there somewhere?
