shidoshi··on Scientists Tie 52 Genes to Human Intelligence
"The evidence conclusively shows" is not the way science works. I think your overview is well-reasoned, and ripe with good intentions, but that comment is what white supremacists use to justify their nonsense. Correlation is not causation, and a majority of the HN community understands this point (we keep revisiting it, so I'm making a weighted assumption.)

The more important question is why would it matter? Who cares if there are differences within or across racial groups with regards to intelligence? What reasonable social benefit is there in researching this? Intelligent people should seek ways to enrich the lives of others through their intellect, not find ways to build gates and limit possible outcomes.

shidoshi··on At Google, an Employee-Run Email List Tracks Harassment and Bias Complaints
Yeah, no. You manage to expectations while the person is capable of performing their duties. Using your logic is exactly why women suffer the indignation of being paid $0.77 to every man's dollar of equal functional qualification level. We all assume Google is a very wise and smart corporation, so let's assume that bonus, RSUs, and all discretionary income is proportional to time worked. That's how you solve the "you weren't here for the entire period" problem.
shidoshi··on Promising Startups
This app is interesting. I do wonder how customers react to "verified" vs. certified pre-owned (CPO) from the dealer. Those dealership fees do give purchasers a certain level of comfort that I'm not sure a verification alone can disintermediate. It'll be interesting to see if you guys can keep the big autos from squashing you out of existence.

I think it's uncool for Dug and team that google decided to name this the same thing as their product. But, the big dog will always eat your food first.
shidoshi··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2014)
Nintendo of America - Redmond, WA - Full Time

Manager, Software Development

You probably know what Nintendo makes. We have a team of about 40 working on the Nintendo Network Account Service which drives the NNID and other fun things. We like putting smiles on people's faces. The team is working on a lot of cool stuff for the future and we need a Java stack wizard to mentor, lead, develop and snuggle with a bunch of rambunctious hackers. I was just kidding about the snuggling. If you're interested, please e-mail me at shidoshi@gmail.com and tell me why.
