So, your argument is that women are underrepresented in IT because of leftists? Like, leftists are actively discouraging women from entering the field?
In a way, this is exactly what happened. Leftists hate STEM because it's the one realm of academia they can't control, so they herd women onto their side of the campus to pursue unmarketable degrees, thereby keeping them out of technical fields in which they would otherwise do better.
Now, obviously foreigners (non-citizens) face massive systematic discrimination (perhaps even to the point of oppression) by the US government - facing severe restrictions on living and working and traveling anywhere...
As they do everywhere in the world to a greater degree than in the US. Although only a few countries still have explicitly racial immigration policies (Japan), most countries are not as used to diversity as the US.
In the US, the only right a naturalized citizen does not have is to become President, because this is an exception specified in the Constitution. In a certain neighboring country, the list of restrictions is a little more extensive.
Under the Mexican constitution, naturalized citizens are prohibited from serving in a wide array of positions, mostly governmental. Naturalized Mexicans cannot occupy any of following posts:
The Mexican military during peacetime[5] Policeman[5] Captain, pilot, or crew member on any[dubious – discuss] Mexican-flagged vessel or aircraft[5] President of Mexico[6] Member of the Congress of Mexico[7] Member of the Supreme Court of Mexico[8] Governor of a Mexican state[9] Mayor or member of the legislature of Mexico City[10]
We re now being asked to add I (Indeterminate sexuality) and A (asexual) to the string. The SJWs won't rest until society has more intersections filled with angry, protesting crowds than a Brazilian megalopolis.
No, youâ(TM)re flat out wrong. The kg is the SI standard unit of weight. The N is the SI standard unit of mass and corresponds to 1kg of weight in 1 gravity.
The Shuttle dropped out of the news after the first few flights, but it never became routine, the "airliner of space" that had been hoped for. It took a standing army of 35,000 workers to keep Shuttle going. And it was never turned around in the originally planned two weeks for the next flight.
We want these SpaceX missions to become old hat and routine.
Of course, but that's not a policy that I control. I keep telling retired people who never take their computers out of the house to write down their passwords and keep them in a place they know. Still, there have been many occasions when I have to sit there waiting for the customer to thrash through every possible hiding place in the house for her list of passwords.
4. No species that gratuitously advertises its own existence is an intelligent species. The galaxy is probably full of species that, being aware of the possibility of other intelligent species out there, are trying to keep their heads - oops, I mean their sensory-organ-leading-edges down.
the anti vaxers are smart. they pick up on the lies. they know medical professionals lie to promote their businesses. it's a business not medicine. this has resulted in medicine science being mostly entirely fraudulent propaganda, statements made by the medical profession without facts or scientific basis.
If this were to be the anti-vaxers' motive, then why is there still an anti-vax movement in countries where medicine is socialized?
It hasn't helped that climate science, for example, has been wrong so often.
Don't confuse the findings of climate scientists with the outpourings and antics of climate activists. Scientists do change their minds over time as new data comes in, while activists, being the kind of people described by this study, remain stuck on hysteria. They are like that on every subject of controversy.
Decreased urban car ownership is an obvious first impact for ridesharing services, especially when they start using automated cars. Expensive, frequently-updated automated cars will fall into the hands of fleets, which will be better able to manage recharging of limited-range electrics than individuals are willing to be bothered with. Fleet operation of automated cars also eliminates the need for parking at the places where people are picked up and dropped off, freeing up whole square kilometers of pricey urban real estate.
And instead of replacing mass transit, car services can operate in conjunction with it. Your ride app will display the cost of a ride in one car from A to B in comparison with the option of A to some chosen subway station, followed by a pickup from another subway station to B. If it's date night, riders will take the more expensive one-car option; if you're just headed to the office, many riders will take the transit option, especially on routes they repeat a lot. Even if all ridesharing services accomplish is weaning commuters onto mass transit, that will be a huge accomplishment.

...with their colonialist "spelling" and brainist "grammar."
Skits like this are why liberals revoked Eddie Murphy's skin. This month they did the same to Dave Chappelle.

Pounds can be considered as either mass or weight.
The imperial unit of mass is the slug.
No, youâ(TM)re flat out wrong. The kg is the SI standard unit of weight. The N is the SI standard unit of mass and corresponds to 1kg of weight in 1 gravity.
You have it flat out backwards.

Serialization without using one of these standards is going back to the bad old days of proprietary silos. You must work for Sony.
Back in those days we called the analog hole a "library."

What choice did the other kids have that your kids gave polio and measles to?
Certainly, but 'airbreathing' implies an oxygen-rich atmosphere. There is only one of those in the solar system.
That's why the USA needs more, not less immigrants. And if they have to be illegal initially, so be it.
And best of all, they can't complain to the government about wage/hour law or working conditions!
Right now I'm literally in Year 52 - How in hell can I get my IT customers to not lose their passwords?
"...you're still not in management yet, so you must suck at what you do"
Why is this the secret clause in every corporate policy manual?
Actually, what prompted this rant is our asking for a Bingo table in the place at the office where the Foosball game went.
Older workers should adapt with the times, not vice versa. That's the only way progress will be made.
AC because I have a feeling the downmod from some pissed off old geyser is coming...
This is what happens to an old geyser that was famous for years but is now past its prime:

His kid Strokkur gets all the attention now.
Give my regards to the gay app apping cows!
