The relationship between farmers and the sun just got an upgrade #TEDTalks
Exhausted from carrying water up a hill to keep her small farm in Kenya thriving, Josephine Waweru received an unexpected call that offered a nearly unbelievable solution. She shares how one simple device allowed her crops (and her dreams) to flourish — and offers a glimmer of hope in the face of growing climate uncertainty.

Why the World Is Still Not Built for Women | Virginia Santy | TED
Design consultant Virginia Santy set out to create an office space built specifically for women, flipping the script on the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways that workplaces and cities still fail them. The results were striking: greater productivity, deeper collaboration and an environment where women felt genuinely valued, leading her to ask a simple question: What…

JFC. I’m sorry, is this person advocating for regulating ethnicity in software development?
Because, currently, no one in IT gives a flying f*** what other ppl in IT look like. No one is gatekeeping software development…
The example used was that visual analysis is harder on darker skin. I f***ing wonder why! Is it because of physics? Nope. INHERENT RACISM.
smh…

No. Cameras are racist, it’s a fact. Consider going to college to learn humanities and not trade school

can you explain wokeness to me? I’m having trouble understanding your comment

@Zach Franklin it’s a cultural trend born in black american comunities. It consists of conspiracy theories like critical race theory and the idea that history has been whitewashed so all the accomplishments that we attribute to europeans are actualy african and have been stolen.
The term has now become intersectional to include other minorities and the lgbtq community with the same type of logic

If you stretch it, she has a point about diverse teams. However, this doesnt mean 2 black people, 1 white person, and 2 asian people. I think this is mostly bullshit coming from a software engineer. Especially what she said about viruses spreading bias. That’s just uneducated.
If you speak vaguely enough, anything can be your point.

darker colors do not reflect light as well as lighter colors. maybe the camera just wasnt able to pick up the proper lines that it needed to, i dont know but i dont think a racist programmer was to blame. just faulty equipment

I remember when Ted talks were talking about putting AWE in AWESOME, when English language was being… Well, numbed by the young, me included kek.
Now I learn that I’m racist because a camera is stupid and someone programmed it wrong.

Though I get what she means. It’s also clear that she doesn’t completely get what she says. We should always strive for equity… that’s what she means. And design choices can be (unintentionally) biased.
But she paints programmers as these masters of the universe that have all the say in the matter. She’s critiqueing the worker, not the system. And I suppose that gets my goat.
And because it also sounds like she doesn’t understand the technology she comes across as a “presumptious” person.

Problem is that we teach algorythms on data, and if data show that there is some regularity … sorry …
