  1. Re:And then Google says... on Google Fires Author of Divisive Memo On Gender Differences (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    There is nothing in there that is offensive, full stop. Misrepresenting the respectful and dispassionate analysis this man did as bigoted or hateful can only happen through malice or ignorance.

    Its malice and astroturfing.

    The left labels people in order to discredit them, and they dont give a flying fuck if the label is accurate. They only care about the discrediting. The are fucking evil.

  2. Well, the premise is people that cannot read or write making up the next billion.

    Then they should watch the "How To Read" and "How To Write" videos.

    When web pages start using VR, I'm pretty sure there is NOTHING device independent about that.

    "Web VR" is pretty much the definition of device dependence.

    Back in the day I remember a leak of a Star Trek movie script before the movie was released (it was the one with "Orbital Skydiving" at the beginning of the movie)

    As a fan of Star Trek, the spoilers werent enough to keep me from reading it. What fueled my desire to read it was a curiosity about Star Trek scripts and how that translates to the screen.

    I've had issues with co-workers political views lately, and it really does make things difficult.

    They are your issues, not everyone elses. Its in your head, not everyone elses.

    Also stop modding yourself up with your sock puppets.

    Nothing there is offensive. Thats why what the left claims that he meant to say is what is being used in the discussion by the left.

    Yes, there is often enough male misogynists, weirdos, and "those guys" in IT that it would make women uncomfortable

    Yet amazingly its always a minority of people doing that, while the majority at these companies makes every conservatives uncomfortable.

    Your stance is no difference to a 1950's KKK member saying that there are enough violent black weirdos to make white people uncomfortable.

    In all these cases a majority is discriminating against a minority.

    Observe how this story will now be filled with comments defending the leftists discrimination.

    You can't expect to silence others just because their criticism or differing opinions make you uncomfortable.

    They are well-argued, I'll give you that. And they certainly sound reasonable if you have only a superficial understanding of the issues. And that's the problem.

    Projection.

    Which part of you only seeing gender and race is NOT superficial? Thats you, the one that dwells on gender and race.

    Also, stop modding yourself up with sock puppets. Seriously. Its time to stop being a dishonest fuck.

    2) The gender gap in tech is largely unrelated to biological differences, it's mostly social. There is a very large amount of evidence to support this.

    Is it so large that nobody has cited any of it because (A) its actually crap, or (B) its too big to fit in the margins

    Free speech.

  19. WTF? How in the world do you come to that conclusion?

    Thats HIS conclusion.

    The facts on the table are that men are driven by status and women are more cooperative.

    The left wing then says "if thats true then I should... [put evil shit here]"

    THEY would do evil shit (see history, hundreds of millions dead.) THEY therefore project their evil thoughts onto others.

  21. Re:The Megahertz Myth is alive and well on Intel Releases Final Core i9 Specs and Release Dates -- And Threadripper Is Faster (Sometimes) (pcworld.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Maybe because Intel is a generation behind on interconnects between cores.

    AMD dumps FSB in favor of HT in 2001
    Intel dumps FSB in favor of QPI in 2009.
    AMD switches from HT to Infinity Fabric in 2017.
    Intel switches from QPI to ????? in ????

    Intel had a few good wins in the past several decades, especially getting 14nm out the door so much sooner than any other fab company could get 14nm workable, but Intel has not had any wins afaict in actual processor design in that same period. When AMD went dual core, Intel had to go frankenchip with double-die solutions as well as hyper-threading in order to come close to keeping up in processor design.

    The processor design space of Intel is littered with failures starting with Pentium 4. The start of the Core series was just Intel scrapping the Pentium 4 design completely and going back to the Pentium 3 design.

    Intel needs a lithography breakthrough, and they need it yesterday. They have proven that they dont do actual design well.
