  1. The wrong battle on James Damore Explains Why He Was Fired By Google (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    It is such a shame that all you people are so offended about the wrong thing. Look around you and be honest, woman are physically and mentally different from man. Your fight should be about diversity and difference being equally valid. Not about ignoring reality and pretending all is equal.

  2. Re:he's not a whistleblower on Google May Be In Trouble For Firing James Damore (inc.com) · · Score: 1

    it's called "positive" discrimination
    groups are given advantages just for belonging to that race/age/sex

    it happens all the time, and it's not always bad, some groups need it (maternity leave, tax breaks for parents, intergation courses for migrants, and many many more)

    he should have spent less pages on pointing out the obvious differences between men and woman and more on the positive discrimination google is doing

    if 3 out of 30 students are female, you can't have a 50/50 representation in the workforce without manipulating the outcome of job applications
    i don't know the exact numbers but the writer of the document might have.

  3. Re:Pandering? on Google May Be In Trouble For Firing James Damore (inc.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Nowhere in the paper is he stating that.
    (he spends way to many pages on pointing out the difference between males and females, stating the obvious)

    his complaint is about google ignoring reality and giving minorities better treatment because google thinks forced diversity is best.

    it's like out of 10 job applicants picking the 1 woman because you need a woman for diversity reasons.

    thats the discussion

    ha, you have it backwards
    city = island with everything on it
    house on the prairie = island with nothing around and no other option than drive your car to another island

    and city people without their own car is not by choice, it's a lack of money, for some things you simply need a car (like once a week)

    but yes, they must be stupid for not doing what you do

    will we be the rats in robot society?

  8. No i dont mean it ironically I think you have a bad grasp of what science is. Science is not about assuming a belief (skull shape related to character) and then ignoring everything that doesn't fit. Statistical significant differences in specific brain regions will still be facts in 100 years, our understanding of what it means, how it is related to other things might change, that will make this recent finding not less true

  9. we? you!

  10. businesses are part of society, they have to contribute to the society and not leech as much as they can and let the working class foot the bill for maintaining said society if you are right, that "creator of wealth" should be able do to the same anywhere...

    Google perhaps doesn't share private data with others, but they sure as hell look at it themselves worldwide monopoly on targetted advertising brings in the big bucks im fine with it but if they don't already do it, you can be pretty sure that at some thime they will

  13. Re:No. on Should Obama Give Stimulus To Open Source? · · Score: 1

    he didn't even try, he just stated facts you bring up a nice point of indivduel vs group interests fact remains that production jobs will always move to where its cheapest to produce what remains locally is social services that is what sucks about free economy work and production shouldn't be about making a happy few rich, it should be about giving everyone of us a meaningfull way to spend a big part of our life see, how happy are you know when you realise you sacrifice your happiness to make a few rich.
