Love this new paper titled "Computer Science Communities: Who is Speaking, and Who is Listening to the Women? Not us. We're inferring gender from first names."

My favourite bit is actually that the paper starts with a HUGE disclaimer saying they're aware that inferring gender from first names is inaccurate and causes harm especially to marginalised groups, AND THEN THEY DO IT ANYWAY.
