Between this and only taking questions from women when he speaks, is there a bigger cuck than GvR?
when men ask questions at a tech presentation
it's usually to show off how smart they think they are
the men with actual questions approach the speaker quietly after the Q&A
ever notice that?
It's 50/50 from what I find. Maybe you're watching shit presentations.
Guido only takes questions from women because he's a believe in gender equity over equality.
you mean there's a correlation between loud people and overconfident people?
I don't get why people don't lay down some rules. If I ever give a talk with Q&A I'm gonna restrict people to 20 words per question. If I want the backstory after that, then I'll ask for it. Fuck these niggers taking up 5 minutes for every question, soapboxing about unimportant bilge.
DON'T CALL LOUD PEOPLE OVERCONFIDENT
that and people ask more than 1 question at a time
They can ask as many questions as they want, but they gotta go to the back of the queue.
Disagree. I've seen a lot of talks with only honestly good questions asked.
yea, that's what i mean
if your second question is so good, why isn't it your first question? and if it must be asked, why wouldn't it be what the next guy will ask?
give someone else a go, damnit!
what these conferences need are a way to submit questions while the speaker is speaking
and participants can up vote existing questions, removing their up vote if the question is later answered
by the end of the presentation, the most unanswered questions are at the top of the list
the speaker can answer them, regardless of who asked
and adjust his next presentation to include those answers
the corollary is that some people are too afraid to ask questions in front of a group for fear of looking stupid
kids in math class would rather stay lost than look stupid
then they fail
>and if it must be asked, why wouldn't it be what the next guy will ask?
That crystallises my thoughts very well. I only got as far as "it's fair!"
As a speaker, it's not my job to walk up to the microphone with you, holding hands. If your question isn't stronger than your will to not ask it, then it's not a good enough question.
>kids in math class would rather stay lost than look stupid
>then they fail
Not true, I passed.
but then you'd have to pay attention to the questions as well as the speech.
interesting idea tho
What's your problem here...?
This.
that listeners will have to divide their attention to reading questions while listening to the presentation
but thats not gender equity is it?
Until half of programmers are female, gender equity has not been achieved.
Gender EQUALITY must be discarded to reach gender equity.
I see; I didn't read the post you were originally replying to properly.
His suggestion seems overly complex. Just give your talk multiple times, and roll the (relevant) answered questions into it each time. By the time you come to give it for the last time, it will have no questions.
Unless it started out like hot garbage.
Python was kill when they split 2 and 3.
Let it die.
