  1. Re:Driving Performance on Siri's Creator Challenges Texting-While-Driving Study · · Score: 1

    Actually, men cannot multitask, women are famous with this and some other "features", unlike men.

  2. Co-inventor? WTF? on Siri's Creator Challenges Texting-While-Driving Study · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If you did invent 50% of the app, you could claim the "co-invent" title, but if it is about 0.0000000....1%, are you a thief or "co"-inventor?

  5. older!!! on Can Older Software Developers Still Learn New Tricks? · · Score: 1

    The question is wrong. The real question should be:
    Is this guy/gal a developer or not?
    No, really, what is wrong with the world today? Why are you trying to connect "age" with "skills"? And just for the record, the wine becomes better with the age...

  6. Re:The cheapest robots are slaves... on Robots Help Manufacturing Recover Without Adding Jobs · · Score: 1

    Now you see the real reason for banning the slavery. Not because it is a-moral, or bad, but because it will cost you your job and your little house on the hill.

    I wonder what would be the next step? Firing the new guy, because he is tooo handsome? And keep in mind, i am not joking...

  10. Re:"can be wrong, profoundly wrong" on Hiring Developers By Algorithm · · Score: 1

    And you are actually making THE assumption that your model is working? That your company is the best? And that, coincidentally, you are the BEST?
    LOL. Man, for people like you, there is special section, it starts with psycho, and ends with analyze.

    Idiot. Let me land you down in the real world:
    1. It is natural for human beings to surround themselves with the same way behaving human beings. Translated for you, you, would, NEVER, ever, would hire, anyone, who is better than you, if he, just for example, hates your favorite baseball team.
    2.You assume, wrongly, that you and your mates are genius, and that's why you hire genius, because you are able to recognize them. I will say only one thing. You are an idiot.
    3.People, for some strange reason tend to like (translated for you: hire) their friends. Again, if you really think that all of your friends are genius....(look at 2 for the proper translation).
    4.Again, i have to tell you, look at 2.

    And 5 - No, there were so many attempts to "catch" the elusive neutrino, with zero results.
    Sorry pal, you are apparently too old and are taking the wet dreams for reality.

  14. Re:Illegal immigrant neutrinos! Tell the GOP! on Scientists May Have Detected Neutrinos From Another Galaxy · · Score: 1

    LOL, i agree with you. We should set a quota for these nasty mexi...i mean aliens. Like, no more than 50% foreign neutrions...

    Since when we do know for sure that neutrionos exists?

  16. Re:Last Sentence on Federal Magistrate Rules That Fifth Amendment Applies To Encryption Keys · · Score: 1

    That's way, your first line of defense is to request all the "known" information that the government has. After that, it is a poker game.

  18. Anathem on Ask Slashdot: Science Books For Middle School Enrichment? · · Score: 2

    Anyone, able to read this book, and understand it, deserves his/her master degree right on the spot.

  19. Re:A different perspective. on Changing the Ratio of Women In Tech: How Etsy Did It · · Score: 1

    That sounds good on theory, but what about the reality check?
    First thing first, all of the comments here, complaining about women, quotas and aliens are intently (or subconsciously) implying that, at the end of the day, all of the men hired are actually hot shit!!!
    WTF? Guys, really? Right now in my company there are about 70% guys, who i don't wanna to be associated in any way, and that should be put in prison, just because of them my profession is having all these funny problems with quality and quantity.
    BUT, never mind me, keep swimming, it is not a fish.

    Or more likely, she knows that you would never ever approve female candidate, so why bother?

  23. Re:Anti sexist policies are almost always sexist on Changing the Ratio of Women In Tech: How Etsy Did It · · Score: 1

    I just wonder, if the current process tends to hire the most qualified (male) professionals, why is this need of H1B? And why they were "sold" in one week? I don't know for you, but my CS degree, combined with my years and years of studying math, statistic and logic, are for some strange reason telling me that the first sentence is not true. The rest is history, as they say.
