Our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's [when their gender is hidden]. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless.
Interesting for me is that not only women but also men had significantly lower accepance rates once their gender was disclosed. So either we as humans have a really strange bias here or non binary coders are the only ones trusted.
I’m not sure if I like the method of disclosing people’s gender here. Gendered profiles had their full name as their user name and/or a photography as their profile picture that indicates a gender.
So it’s not only a gendered VS. non-gendered but also a anonymous VS. indentified individual comparison.
And apparantly we trust people more if we know more about their skills (insiders rank way higher than outsiders) and less about the person behind (pseudonym VS. name/photography).
Thank you. Unfortunately, your link doesn’t work either - it just leads to the creative commons information). Maybe it’s an issue with Firefox Mobile and Adblockers. I’ll check it out later on a PC.
Seems like a wild idea as… a) it poisons the data not only for AI but also real users like me (I swear I’m not a bot :D). b) if this approach is used more widely, AIs will learn very fast to identify and ignore such non-sense links and probably much faster than real humans.
It sounds like a similar concept as captchas which annoy real people, yet fail to block out bots.
The study differentiates between male and female only and purely based on physical features such as eye brows, mustache etc.
I agree you can’t see one’s gender but I would say for the study this can be ignored. If you want to measure a bias (‘women code better/worse than men’), it only matters what people believe to see. So if a person looks rather male than female for a majority of GitHub users, it can be counted as male in the statistics. Even if they have the opposite sex, are non-binary or indentify as something else, it shouldn’t impact one’s bias.
Does anyone know if there is a way to do one-time donations to Newpipe without signing up for Libera Pay? E.g. did the team publish their IBAN or PayPal account?
Drunk driving and murder are potentially dangerous for the child as well. I agree that it’s a very difficult topic to tie parental rights to one’s criminal records.
Or maybe a transparent plastic bottle is the water equivalent of a penthouse. You’re being carried around by a servant all day and you’ve got a nice 360° view on the surroundings.
Unlike these poor homeless droplets in the ocean. Being pushed around by the wind permanenly, fish pooping on you and no privacy at all.
True but I’d hope that there’s still some review for the bigger projects. Of course, it’s possible that a malicious link is inserted right before I go there but it’s still more reliable than just chosing the first result on Google.
Are you sure about that? Putin still has access to nuclear weapons and I feel like if he’s desparate enough he sure as hell will use them. Even if they wouldn’t save his ass, he’ll take as many souls with him as possible. Furthermore, if NATO troops officially side with Ukraine, are we sure China, Iran, India etc. won’t side with Russia accordingly?
