DEI is an attempt at merit-based hiring. The only difference is what the definition of merit is. The definition that is based on past achievements is biased towards those who have previously had better opportunities, not necessarily better skills. DEI takes a look at the potential of someone in the context of how well they’ve done with respect to what has been available to them.

Someone who has a GED instead of graduating high school on time might have had opportunities closed to them because they had a reason for dropping out of high school (e.x. had to help family by getting a job), so it wouldn’t be equitable to judge them harshly for not having as strong of a resume as someone who had a “conventional” experience and was given more opportunities fresh out of highschool because they could afford to take an unpaid/low pay internship, instead of focusing on taking care of a family.

Nothing about either situation really can tell you about an applicants potential in the field or their work ethic or anything. But 9 times out of 10 the one who was fortunate enough to finish highschool on time will be ahead in the selection process for no reason other than they didn’t have life get in the way of their career.

DEI won’t be able to magically tell you which candidate is better, but it can allow employers to level the playing field and use different metrics to measure merit that might be less biased against people who have had nontraditional lives through no fault of their own.

Maybe, but a locus is a type of grasshopper.

Not to mention, Darwin most likely used Lamarckian theories to shape his own understanding, but didn’t want to give credit because he was English and Lamarck French. Lamarck was the first person to really emphasize the idea of heritability as we know it, describing genes before genetics existed.

I saw a post earlier about Empress returning to game cracking. For modern video games that use Denuvo DRM, she’s the only person who can really crack it, as far as I know. Singlehandedly holding up the AAA game piracy scene.

This convo reads like those scam bots.

I just use the VC feature of games, meet people and from there join a discord server with them. It’s better to think of discord as mimicing friend groups, rather than gaming communities.

If you want to use Privacy, you can reprogram a magnetic stripe to work with privacy cards, you’ll just need a new card for each merchant.

Yes, this is a bacteriophage. Truly fascinating stuff I’m lucky to work with every day.

Just because its the same chemical doesn’t make it smell the same. Try taking a spoonful of vanilla extract and you will find it does not taste like the smell. The ration and volume of the volatiles also determines how it smells.

Burned or unburned? They are two distinct smells.
