Don't forget the introverted mouth breathers who spend all day watching pornhub on the companies computers. Or the extroverted brosephs who think it's hi-larious to drop a deuce in someone's filing cabinet. Gonna go on a limb and say they skew male too.
Did women rule Edison's laboratories? No, because Edison was a massive misogynist prick, and a thief. What does that or radar labs in WW2 have to do with what I wrote or Google, other than reinforcing my point. Women weren't in those jobs not because they weren't capable, but because they weren't allowed.
And I'm sorry, no, calculating launch trajectories for NASA and programming the ENIAC was not "an accounting job".
As for your last comment, yeah, there are more women in technical jobs today, because a lot of us quit believing the nonsense in that douche's memo and accepted that women are quite capable of doing the same jobs.
When you decide to get a career in nursing, teaching or other "critically important jobs..." and women tell you that you're not "biologically suited to the job", or you go into meetings with women and the senior women ignore you, talk over you and when you do get to make a comment, only accept it when another woman parrots it back, THEN you can whine about how you've been mistreated.
The problem with Tech isn't that men dominate it, it's that men do so by passively aggressively forcing women out. Discouraging someone every step of the way and then declaring "biological differences" keeps them out is a pathetic echo chamber tactic.
The FACT is that women ruled tech jobs, until men decided they were too profitable for the little ladies and took over. Women were the first computers, calculating endless numbers for a multitude of businesses and government offices. When businesses decided they needed PC's, women where the ones expected to learn how to use them and print off the bosses emails for him. The first programming language was written by a woman.
The fact is that all of this "biological differences" nonsense is rehashed psuedo-science by white brogrammers who feel their self-centered superiority being threatened.
California is a Right to Work state, so they don't really need a reason to fire him. Furthermore, the Feds aren't exactly strong protectors of "whistleblower" status, and I wouldn't call what he did whistleblowing in the first place. That should be reserved for out illegal activity, not having a snit fit because you think Becky is getting treated better than you.
One, of all the networks, Disney is perhaps the only one with a catalog full enough to actually present a good competitor to Netflix.
Two, I think this is a reaction to Netflix buying up Millarworld.
Overnight Netflix went from being a popular platform for delivering Disney product to a direct competitor to Disney's very profitable Marvel IP. It was inevitable, really, Netflix is tired of being Hollywood's bitch over licensing properties and they've been very proactive about fixing that, I wouldn't be surprised if at some point they don't buy out an actual studio. Regardless, Disney probably felt distinctly uncomfortable with the move, and knowing they do have a very large catalog of desirable properties felt safe launching their own service.
Let's be honest, superwiz isn't worried about corporate political slant, he'd likely be fine using a Breitbart browser or Storm Front browser. It's the direction of the slant that's upsetting him. Such a triggered little snowflake.
And I don't think the people who keep ranting against PC and equal rights for minorities actually are against treating everbody fairly; they just want to feel that they themselves are being given a fair chance too
Well, you're wrong there. The people ranting against PC and equal representation feel that they're losing their special privilege, which they are. It's what happens when you start treating people equally instead of being special because you're white or male. So in their minds they're losing ground and threatened.
Still, it needs to happen. The end game will be better for everyone.
Well, considering the economy of NYC compared to the economies of the 9 least populated states, and the pretty obvious fact that people prefer living there, I'd say yes, yes they should get the same government representation as those states. The problem is those 9 states most certainly do feel they should get to boss around NYC.
Would the private contractors have built it, and built it to the standards we expect, while reaching every citizen rather than just a few rich ones, without government subsidies is a fairer and more realistic question. The answer would be no.
Exactly. Airlines are the same people who've put forth ideas like having everyone stand on the flight so they can pack in more people and weighing you and charging extra per pound. Their creative ability to invent new fees while forcing you to sit in a chair slightly smaller than a McDonald's napkin is legendary.
Anybody who believes they'll reduce their fares for any reason is a naive child.
Hire the best and most qualified people for each job. If they all end up being purple, then purple people JUST MIGHT be the best people for the job!
That's sort of the reason for all of the diversity training and such. Because people have biases, sometimes they don't even know they're there, and forcing people to confront those biases and question if their choices are indeed biased, is one way to pick the best person.
It's like the symphony that said they couldn't find good female musicians, and then they made the auditions blind and surprise, a lot of women got hired. The judges, whether they acknowledged it or not weren't choosing the best musicians, they were letting their biases get in the way.
The conservative value of telling brown people to go back where they came from and being able to fire women who get upset about bimbo jokes and how they're too sensitive when guys just act like guys without repercussions, apparently.
I think it's interesting how Righters twist things to fit their narrative and attempt to give backwards ideas equal weight. He's being shamed, basically, for making arguments that have already been shot down ad nauseum. It's like being in the room while your racist uncle shouts the N word every other sentence. Just because he has a "controversial opinion" doesn't mean everyone else has to listen to it.
Next you'll say we should form a committee to see if these Flat Earth people are onto something!
Given that the US certainly seems to sit on the right-side of the political spectrum (as compared to its economic peers), perhaps people misunderstood how far to the right that the "typical American" sat. In some ways, Obama's policy were more right-wing than Canada's Harper, and many people in Canada saw him as an ogre. I can't imagine how the center and left in (Western) Europe see the major US parties other than "right-center" and "America's AfD"...
The problem with this statement is that in reality the Republican party is a minority in the US. Because of how our government is structured, low populated rural counties can politically outnumber high density urban cities. NY City has a combined population greater than the 9 least populated states combined, yet politically is not commensurately represented. It's about the same in every "red" state, where you have 1 or 2 deeply urban, Democratic cities surrounded by Republican counties that have 2-10,000 people in them.
In case *you* didn't know, most of those ARM CPU's are part of a SOC with a mix of graphics/audio/video/networking tied into the same chip, all of which can be manufactured and cross licensed from other people. Not to mention that ARM licenses out their basic core, chip developers are able to add their own functionality as they choose. So assembly code that works on a Samsung SOC isn't necessarily going to work on an Atmel chip.
iPhones use an ARM chip, but try getting iOS to work on a Google Pixel:P
Okay, no app developer is going to use assembly, because their app will be on a range of hardware from different manufacturers. Portability is mandatory in the app world.
No, this is what happens when corporations put immediate profit above research and development. The only reason we have the engines we do today is because of the regulations of 30 years ago that were impossible to reach with then current technology. Without those regulations, automakers would be quite content to keep selling inline 8 cylinder engines that burn a quart of oil and 3 gallons of gas per mile.
Nobody forced VW to take the cheap and easy way out, and now it's cost them and their investors billions. They could have sunk 1/10th of that money into R&D and come up with a solution that adhere's to the regulations.
I think that if they repatriate this money they'll do exactly the same thing financial institutes have done with their cash. Sit on it. They won't "encourage local economic growth". If anything they'll reduce local economic growth by buying up and removing competition. Growth of anyone but themselves is not in their interests.
Private is private. Private is not going on Howard Stern multiple times discussing how you video tape your wife swapping with your buddy, a co-host on said show, prior to said tapes being released, arguably by your buddy.
Hulk Hogan went after them because they published (and refused to take down) his *private* recording of him doing his friend's wife (with his friend in the room...watching).
...that he talked about frequently on Howard Stern, along with Bubba, which is exactly how you keep something private. Plus he lost already in Federal court. As well there is evidence that was excluded from the case, that Bubba published the tapes and changed his testimony about it when Hogan promised not to sue him.
Peter Thiel funded the case because Gawker had earlier decided to out Thiel as a homosexual, something he didn't want publicly known.
...while Thiel was fundraising in Saudi Arabia, a notoriously anti-gay society and promoting several anti-gay policies in the US government as well as making several questionable statements about women.
Except Thiel was paying for Hogan's lawyer. And also fronting the same lawyer to work for Shiva Ayyadurai to sue Gawker, for printing an article that denied his claim of inventing email.

Yeah, about your "obvious male", lookup Buck Angel some time.
Statistically, you or a close family member is more likely to touch your daughter than some stranger.
