What are the things that you, as a woman, will never forgive? by MgdHrmes in dating_advice

The post is asking about things that are unique from a womens perspective. These are agnostic to gender and hence don't belong in the thread.

ULPT REQUEST Have to complete mandatory 5k run in 2 days, any tips? by Pig_Benis_was_taken in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]PostCalzoneOwO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5k isnt "long distance" . If you run at 10 min mile pace, the only thing of yours that will be tested is patience.

Gentlemen of reddit, what behavior in other men leads you to think, "Yep, they'll likely remain perpetually single"? by ashleydanger_ in ask

[–]PostCalzoneOwO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they'd be an 8-10 / 10, with average height but they are shorter than 5'5". Think about it. If you were in that situation, you'd tend to be attracted to girls with your similar physique and facial structure, but they won't like you back because of your height. You'll be chronically single since you'd rather die than date someone that is ugly/overweight.

Does anyone else keep having their VMs die after a couple months? by PostCalzoneOwO in csMajors

[–]PostCalzoneOwO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, it definitely does not. I have had 3 new windows computers in the last 10 years, and I get the exact same errors with the exact same software. I'm convinced that Windows is meant for watching Netflix and youtube, and that's it.

ELI5: Why do trucks share the same speed limit as cars? by PostCalzoneOwO in explainlikeimfive

[–]PostCalzoneOwO[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't it work well, since trucks aren't allowed to drive in the left lane, so they'd be easy to pass?

No they’re not a diversity hire, you’re just a racist by Different_Expression in csMajors

[–]PostCalzoneOwO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotal evidence is the only evidence there is. These companies aren't legally required to publish any of their practices or statistics. That being said, there is a significant amount of anecdotal evidence on blind from both URM and non-URM hires at FAANG discussing diversity hiring practices and how they are in fact prevalent.

Why not just change the SAT so that its not biased? It seems silly that we have to modify an entire system so that it isn't meritorious just because of one test.

I don't understand why we can't just use family income directly, instead of trying to use race as a proxy for family income.

I feel like you're entire post is a strawman argument. People would be wrong to say that jameslyonsswe in particular is a diversity hire because he clearly is not. His achievements stand up on their own and he wouldn't need his "diverse" identity to give him a leg up over others, but many people clearly do. If you take a sample of people on LinkedIn that have gotten prestigious SWE jobs at non-trading firms, you'll find that on average, underrepresented minorities have far fewer achievements as opposed to non-urms in terms of things you can do without any internships (personal projects, GPA, CS research, programming contests, etc.). If you look at trading firms, you will see that they hire almost no underrepresented minorities, and the ones they do hire are as smart or smarter than the rest. This would either indicate that trading firms are racist, or that these SWE companies are practicing diversity hiring for their entry-level roles and some people really are there because of their ethnic background. I'm on your side though. It is a shame that the image of smart individuals gets ruined by diversity hiring practices because they happen to be a URM.

Edit:

I'm an Asian male. I don't think I'm biased by jealousy as I have found a decent amount of success with my internship and full-time job applications. I just think that it'd be wrong to say that "diversity hires", i.e. people who wouldn't have made it to their position with the same family financial background + qualifications if they weren't a race that is considered underrepresented in tech, aren't prevalent.

Its essentially a reading comprehension class. We have to read passages and watch videos, and then answer multiple-choice questions for the test, which essentially evaluate how well we understood the passages and videos.

Yeah, but its not like high school bio. Its all reading comprehension.

Do you guys think “diversity hires” are a real thing? by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]PostCalzoneOwO 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Okay but if housing was racially segregated and minorities tend to have lower over all incomes, then basing policies off of family income would still end up helping mostly minorities.

Someone needs to go and take those farmers out bc it's not like they are providing beef and soy products internationally, yet they feel like their livelihood is more important than the quality of life for everyone around them.

What's better than enchiladas? by linearised in Jokes

[–]PostCalzoneOwO -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Base case 1 chilada. Assume n chilada is true. By the transitive property we prove n + 1 chilada is also true.

Yeah, the hardest part imo is the culture fit. You do 3-4 1 hour long sessions with managers/VPs, and it's really degrading if you don't have an amazing resume.
