Kanedias

Vaxry was acting Polish in front of Drew DeVault and was immediately labeled nazi apologist.

The discussion went like this:

— is there anything that could sway your opinion towards genocide? — well, claiming “no” would be presumptuous, I am just a human, so, probably yes? — I rest my case

He’s losing men over 50 years old that are left out and are garbage of society. They wouldn’t be participating in any demographic activities anyway.

I bet there are millions of Americans like this too. Coal miners who lost the job, casino players, heavy drinkers. For a hefty sum of money and a chance to be important again they’d do anything. You really underestimate how quick they can be turned into a cannon fodder and how little the society will miss them.

No they won’t. I’ve heard all kinds of stories like this for Putin and he’s still alive and happy.

why do you even need a temporary file?

It is impossible to satisfy all minorities at once. The best outcome is to pick an adequate, sane person from the community with proper mindset and proper judgement, irrelevant if they’re from a minority or not.

Suppose I have 1000 people from community and 10 out of them are gender minorities. I then have 5 projects, each with 10 members on board committee, and I want a representative of gender minority in each of them. And I choose hard workers based on merit, the best of the best.

In such case I will be choosing 9*5 = 45 people out of 1000, and specifically I add 1*5 = 5 people out of those 10.

So the board committees will have 45 members each with (worst case) 955/1000 = 95.5% percentile performance, and additionally 5 members of gender minorities, each with mediocre 5/10 = 50% performance.

The gender minorities will perform worse, because we specifically singled them out of the crowd. This is not how you improve diversity.

I didn’t understand a thing about what the actual issues were.

Based on comments I can see that Jon Ringer objected to inserting gender minority person as a requirement for committee board.

So, why is he wrong? I totally agree that gender minorities deserve recognition, but making it a hard requirement for having a committee board sounds like nepotism.
