You do not need them, they are not useful, and they make existing problems worse.
As someone who found two girlfriends and several friends through social media, I strongly disagree. And yes, when I say friends, I am talking about people I meet irl constantly. Social media can be very useful if you know how to use it (which admittedly involves clicking hide a lot, because the defaults are very bad)
In the past, you could hack into old windows machines by pressing F1 at password prompt. If the help file was missing, it would ask you to browse and find it, which would allow you to right click on executables and run them. Nice to see that some things never change.
I apologize for my ignorance and lack of clarity. I meant "are there countries where age of consent with extra conditions if less than 16" and I did not know that it is common in europe. Note that I'm coming from Israel, where "age of consent" is 16, but legally 14-16 year olds are allowed to have sex with people that are 14-20 years old.
In Israel, where I live, a 14 year old is allowed to have sex with someone less than 19. I am talking about something completely without qualifications. Note that the question was talking about an adult and a 14 year old, not about a teeanger and a 14 year old.
Considering the tons of job offers that James Damore got, I'm not worried about them. I am worried about a society where people are not hired for their skills but for their connections, I prefer US to not end up like Italy.
Ok, then two child policy after population becomes small enough or unlimited child policy if there is a natural disaster. What I'm trying to say is that I think it is better to have society limit birth instead of society having to cull out people with wars.
And what is so wrong with One Child policy? Is it better to handle overpopulation by creating wars and sending people to die in them? While there are many things in which one can argue that the left doesn't make sense (equality no matter what, welfare, etc), it is a simple matter to understand that something must stop the breeding humans. It will either be a war or careful planning, and frankly, I'd prefer the second, because I want some people to be left.
Everyone who worked for enough years know that this is true. I've met plenty of "mad geniuses" who wrote unmaintainable code that they could not explain and also, surprisingly enough, had bugs. Most programming jobs are not rocket science, and if someone is such a genius, he should usually be able to communicate well enough what he is doing.
English is a programming language just like C or Java, the only difference is that it runs on people instead of computers. There's no excuse why one can't be proficient enough in it.
(And yes, I'm assuming I made some typos here, but I think that most readers will understand what I mean, and that's what's important)
I have worked in places where man talked a lot about going to strip joints and where I once saw a man telling a woman something like "I don't want to argue design with another guy in front of you, you are a woman and are sensitive to seeing arguments". Idk, my assumption is that most companies are the same so I would guess that some parts of Google are like this too. Maybe I'm naive and google is really this place for chosen people only where everyone are pure.
(And yes, I understand you are not pro google, but I think you are still buying into the whole "google are different from everyone else", which I don't)
Funny, what you think about women, I think about most alt righters. Ok, and if I won't be a troll for a second, I think it about anyone has a strong political opinion that he already decided on no matter what.
Not getting caught is the point. Look, I worked in a company where we used to tell misogynist jokes all the time. When more women began to work at the company, some people insisted on telling the jokes as usual. I said that we shouldn't stop it, but we shouldn't do it when there's a woman around, which I think is the best solution.
Instead of trying to force everyone to act and think the same, just make sure they know when to shut up.

You still have your appendix and your fifth pinky though
They are obviously necessary -- or they would not be there.
This is not how evolution works. They may be "good enough", not necessary.
Can I please see your poems or part of your novel? You made me curious.
Facebook would comply, just like IBM did, because corporates have no morals, only greed.
Make no mistake, the Rohingyans brought it upon themselves for their inability to peacefully live alongside Buddhists.
Citation needed. Why the hell was this modded up when there is no concrete information? Whats next, +5 insightful for "9-11 was done by the jews?"

Look, this not just plain robbery or murder, this is a crime that has SEX in it!!! Don't you know it makes it much more severe?
Are there any countries that are not complete shitholes where the age of consent is lower than 16?
While this question is not interesting for 14, it is interesting for 16, where different countries have different laws.
Flash was self contained and easy to block. I think that when HTML5 will be misused, we might end up missing it.

So what? I don't mind having only one child as long as me and that child are not forced to enlist into the war while AC is.
People like to post their political opinions on facebook. Could this be the formalization of opinion based hiring?

Commeting on slashdot about how people should behave is ofcourse very normal and positive.
And yet you're not "brave" enough to not be an anonymous coward.
Heinlein was into social justice?
