musicman: I don't think Perforce has a gender issue. I don't think OpenLogic on the whole has a gender issue. My team though, depending on how you count is 12 or 13 men (or 14 if you include the boss). Now, the boss' boss is female (I think Tim reports to Jill anyway, maybe he reports to Dan. In any case, the VP of Support is a female). We have 1 Indian-American. We have 1 gay man. We have 2 black men. We have a pretty diverse group as far as off-work interests. One guy lives in an RV! Only two sets of two people live in the same state, though we do skew east coast. As I see it, not having more of the US-based team on the west coast is a problem, I don't think it is near a big a problem as the gender issue. I don't think we are doing super-horrible overall on the diversity aspect. The number is just too small to draw any huge conclusions, but the lack of any women is a huge problem if for no other reason than it is one that is going to get harder to address as the team grows. We are currently hiring 5, so we have a huge opportunity to start to fix this. Most of the candidates I have seen have been men, though I'm not super-involved in the hiring process. Most of the technologists I know are white men (although I should reach out to an Asian friend and see if he's looking). We are hiring 3 people in #Europe/ #UK, so in particular I would like to hear from Europeans on people to reach out to try to fix this. I don't know how much longer it will be until we start hiring, so I need to act fast if I am going to help fix this. Thanks in advance for any help! #womenInTech #diversity

lnxw48a1: 4 #COVID-19 measures likely to remain after the pandemic ends https://uk.news.yahoo.com/covid-measures-here-to-stay-164230358.html [uk news yahoo com] NOTE: this is the #UK. In the #USA, we've had a significant number of #anti-maskers all along, who will not suddenly become conscious that their behaviors can increase or decrease the spread of disease (whether #2019-nCoV or #influenza or something else).

lnxw48a1: Looking at https://nu.federati.net/url/269073 it looks like the growth in *confirmed* cases of #COVID-19 is slowing and may even be declining in all four countries. Right now, I'm looking at #Germany, #Italy, #UK, #US. I know I could turn of exponential to get a better look at the numbers. But: (1) numbers are not per unit of population, which can make large countries look worse, even if they are doing a better job overall; and (2) In the US, at least, tests still seem to be limited; people who do not have enough symptoms out of a list may be refused the test. What this means is that there could be many more people who are or were infected that are not included in the numbers because they were never tested. Also: I think Germany's #2019-nCoV mortality rate is substantially lower than the other three nations' rates. As far as I know, DE is not quietly burning bodies or digging mass graves, so I'm assuming they are doing something right that the other three nations listed are not.

lnxw48a1: Anyone with #UK_politics background enough to give a background for this? 1. https://nu.federati.net/url/267445 [news sky com] 2. https://nu.federati.net/url/267446 [www theguardian com] 3. https://nu.federati.net/url/267447 [novaramedia com] 4. https://nu.federati.net/url/267448 [www independent co uk] Is this the #UK equivalent of the #US #DNC actions in 2013-2016 attempting to prevent other potential Democratic candidates? It sounds worse (intentionally throwing the election by undermining the candidate), but was all this done with intent to prevent deep investigation and confrontation of antisemitism, or just attacking Corbyn for the sake of being against him and his platform?
