> And this Chief Executive was elected by the majority of the country

No, he was not. He was elected by ~30% of the possible voters in this country because most people chose no one and stayed home.

> The problem is that our industry clings to this bizarre ritual where we test for skills that are completely orthogonal to the actual job.

I agree. And it's not a good sign for the industry when engineers have to spend months working up to being good at answering these questions just to get the job.

And you can say the same for employers that exploit their workers. No one is the villain in their own story.

Or maybe it's defensive against an industry who has developed ridiculous hiring practices.

I'm currently experiencing this with a Tauri-based app. Nix has been great for us for local dev and service builds, but building an application inside of Nix that needs to run outside of it has been challenging to say the least.

He's making the ecosystem generally unstable and there are a lot of businesses that depend on that stability.

> My conclusion is that the market has gotten much worse for people with experience who don't hide being white and male.

Really? Mine is that companies value experience less.

They aren't censored, though. You can still read their intolerant posts they are just labeled as such.

What people really have a problem with here is that they are called out for the intolerance because it reflects upon them.

So the victim here is the Babylon Bee and not the trans person they are mocking?

One of the defining aspects of addiction is the inability to stop doing the harmful act despite knowing it's harmful.

The goal of those policies is to achieve equity, not equality.

> The educational institutions meant well, but the students took the wrong message from their accommodations and assumed it was always the world's responsibility to bend to their personal quirks rather than the other way around.

This is kind of a toxic perspective and could be why you have so many problems with your neurodiverse coworkers. If you believe they should never require accommodations and are always expected to conform to the rest of society, then you don't understand what that experience is like and how further debilitating it can actually be.

> (who wouldn’t?)

Folks who don't want to fund their state from the loss and despair of other people, for one.

I think they are claiming the opposite and that autistic people don't lack theory of mind, but that the theory of mind claim is stemmed from their communication impaiarment. I am no expert, but I think they are trying to overcome the idea you're presenting.

> Because theory-of-mind tasks rely heavily on “fairly complex language” (San José Cáceres, Keren, Booth, & Happé, 2014, p. 608) and because autism, by diagnostic definition, involves communication impairment (Gernsbacher, Morson, & Grace, 2016), it is unsurprising that autistic participants with communication impairment perform less well than nonautistic participants without communication impairment. And because autistic people vary in their communication impairment (Gernsbacher, Geye, & Ellis Weismer, 2005), it is unsurprising that autistic people vary in their theory-of-mind task performance.

I'm pretty sure the studio is putting up the money for the movie. This seems to be the production budget and does not include whatever his profit participation was.
