If you are an agency employee and you observe wrongdoing, raising your grievance internally is not sufficient - you must report it to the authorities, aka the citizens of the country.

In days of yore, the US Treasury used to emit green-backed pieces of paper that could be redeemed for gold. The amount of gold on hand constrained this emission, so we know how this ended.
Nowadays, the Feds can simply emit as many pieces of paper as they want. And they want a lot.
Some may speculate that that this poor showing is because they are not living up to their ideals. Now that the problem has been addressed, any improvement can (should?) be ascribed to this initiative.
With a share of less than 1%, there is plenty of room to grow!
But an improvement (or decline) could be due to other factors, so it is difficult to be sure, with a sample size of one. At least it should shed a little light.
To answer the question - the trend in usage and the number of active developers.
FreeBSD obviously feels that this code of conduct, together with the associated concepts of diversity, inclusion and acceptance, will promote the quality, usefulness and innovation of their software.
Let's take the opportunity to run an experiment. In five years, will FreeBSD be strong, admired and above all, be downloaded and used, compared to its less enlightened peers? Which paradigm will prevail?
I propose that we revisit this topic yearly, to assess.
"women should belong in the kitchen" is not an argument, it is a opinion on what should be allowable for women. It should be dismissed on the basis of the right to autonomy. And it is not amenable to scientific study.
The statement "In general, women are happier in a kitchen than in a laboratory" is also an opinion. It may or may not be correct, but it does not take away autonomy. And is is amenable to study, which should be reproducible.
But the studies of gender equivalence are not allowed to be reproduced.
Given that the second person has a massive burden, it behooves us to give him/her an opportunity to state a case.
But you are not only enacting a "massive burden", you are also erecting further barriers by shutting down discussion.
Sounds like you are scared your beliefs may be found wanting? If you are confident, then welcome opposition in the knowledge that you will be strengthened.
I was at a doctor's office last week. Patients lining up to have their IDs scanned into the system. I wonder how long before they are for sale on the dark web?
Silly me, I "forgot" my ID at home. Told the receptionist that next time she could look at it to verify that I am who I say I am, but I would not allow it to be scanned.

Q. Why is Whopper-neutrality not a problem? A. Because BK does not discriminate.

Net neutrality is just a (necessary) band-aid. The real solution is competition, lots of it. Federal, state and local governments should be doing everything possible to permit, encourage and enable competitors to set up business.

South Africa is divided into provinces. Cape Town is in the Western Cape province and was the first major city run by the national opposition party, the Democratic Alliance. The province itself followed, and is also governed by the DA, for some years now.
The national government and all other major cities, towns and provinces have been run by the national ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), since freedom.
So you may assume that the DA has screwed up, letting the city and province run out of water, while the ANC has got things sorted elsewhere? Well, you would be wrong.
The neighboring Eastern Cape province is an overwhelming majority ANC stronghold. But by every measure it is a dismal failure - jobs, healthcare, life expectancy, education, housing, infrastructure, etc.
So people in the Eastern Cape vote for the ANC, but their feet vote to take them to the Western Cape, and in particular, Cape Town. There their kids will be educated, there is economic growth, jobs, housing and things generally work - not a paradise, but much better from their perspective.
This inrush of millions of peasants has overwhelmed the Cape Town infrastructure and ability to provide for them. The city and the province and trying hard, but even the DA is not perfect.
One final observation: Water supply is constitutionally a national responsibility, not local or provincial. Hence parliament and the national executive must account. And national government is firmly in the hands of the ANC.
The Judicial Branch has entirely abdicated its responsibility to protect us from the government. Indeed, it seems that SCOTUS believes the reverse. In theory, Congress could pass all the snooping laws they wanted, but the judges would promptly swat them down on 4th Amendment grounds.

The key words are "CIVILIAN ownership. A gun ban is not a gun ban unless it includes the government.
I am all for gun control in the US, as long as the government goes first, you know, to demonstrate good faith.

No, I am not absolving the first person.

How is it possible to perform a rigorous study with the hypothesis that there are inherent gender differences?
Is there no science because the hypothesis is incorrect, or because the science cannot be objectively performed and peer-reviewed?
It seems we'll never know.
"1. They don't buy the bogus scientific argument, which has been debunked by the authors of the studies he cited."
There is no way to make a contrary argument any more. All further discussion is prohibited to anyone who wants a job.
It's like the Catholic church saying the sun rotates around the earth and anyone who tries to say otherwise is subject to excommunication (or worse).
Damore may be wrong, but this is not progress.

Push back, citizens!
In my (US) state, you are not allowed to have more than one driver's license card. Why not?
This case only has merit if net neutrality is not a thing.
If net neutrality is abolished, then every service provider is liable for anything that passes though their system.

How can we know if you are correct or not, if we are barred from using such tools?

The bigger your carbon footprint, the more you vote?

Per person consumption means everything counts.
