I think most people just ignore any SJW/whatever/controversy issues,
but it's things like this. You can see that Github is becoming an unpleasant place to work, and focusing on hiring salespeople instead of programmers, and at that rate the good programmers will leave, and the bug tracker will start filling up, and the product will get worse and worse. That's the way things go.
Relationships between boss and underling are always problematic, (gender notwithstanding), even if both parties seem willing, because the power gradient isn't equal: the underling might feel pressure of losing the job if she/he doesn't relent. So if you're a boss, don't hit on your underlings. Find somewhere else to hit on women, you don't need to mess up your work environment (and the consequences of messing up are heavier).
According to the survey, 73% of women had no unwanted physical contact, so it's most people are ok. Still, 28% is higher than it should be. Alcohol is an enabler: I think most women realize if you're at a bar or in a drinking situation, you need to be on guard against gropers.
He knows he won't get his budget, so he's putting everything he can think of into it (for several years, congress didn't even pass a budget). Why not? It's a fantasy document.
That's true... but what I've noticed is that far too often, the people who call themselves climate skeptics aren't skeptical at all; they are absolutely credulous-- to anything they hear that denies the reality of global warming. Garbage articles that could be debunked in two minutes of thinking get picked up and passed along with notes of "see? it's all a HOAX!"
Most people who are worried about climate change are absolutely credulous-- the read garbage articles that could be debunked in two minutes of thinking and they pass it along.
You can tell that most people aren't looking at the science because of how cleanly opinion is divided along political lines. I'll bet I can guess which political side you favor, too.
Based on experiments (with gas in tubes and lights shining through them), a doubling of CO2 will result in a ~0.9 degree increase. This is not controversial, and even skeptical climatologists accept it. It's also not very scary.
The reason some climatologists predict a 6-12 degree warming is because of feedbacks (warming melts ice leaving dark earth behind, and dark earth absorbs more heat, etc). These feedbacks are significantly more controversial, but also more scary.
It's not cheaper. Stop buying the lie. I've had managed service companies flat out tell me that since they started reselling cloud over internal infrastructure, their revenues have tripled.
Good point.
The one exception would be in very small business; under 20 people
The primary advantage of the cloud has always been that it's cheaper (than your own hardware).
Maybe now people are choosing it because they don't have the expertise to do anything else, and so prices are rising to take advantage of their ignorance?
But if you don't have the ability to migrate quickly from Akamai, you're still screwed. Maybe not today, but someday. So don't depend on them too much.
The only issue with Parse was it was developed, hosted and run by another party.
That's actually a really big issue.
I would hope that people would remember this in the future, but I don't have much hope since there have been many publicly documented failures of the 'cloud,' and people still think it's a good idea to depend on other people's servers.
I don't get the US centric bias towards military policy. Basically anyone that becomes capable of attacking the US is automatically an aggressor that needs sanction.

The majority of the good open source apps have moved to GitHub over this
At the rate Github is going, it won't be around much longer either.
Good job Sourceforge, keep up the good work.
Wow, you make Europe sound like such a liberal paradise :/

The "garbage" article that pretty much all the climate scientists refer doubters to is this one:
And you haven't read it. You're like every other moron that thinks they know something but is really just following the crowd. Good job.
We know that the planetary surface is warming up, and we know that we're causing a lot of that
How do we know?

You can still feel good about recycling paper bags.
No way! Burying paper bags in a landfill is how I sequester carbon from trees. I'm doing my part for the environment!

Yet users are apparently fine with that
No they aren't it drives them crazy
Make it nebulous.

To be fair, there are quite a lot of those.
Well look at you, aren't you re-inventing things that are broken by smashing paradigms.
Their currency is manipulated.
Name a country that doesn't manipulate their currency. China's currency is ok, at least as much as anyone else's.
price point
As someone pointed out to me once, you can just say "price"
The primary advantage of the cloud has always been that it's cheaper (than your own hardware).
Maybe now people are choosing it because they don't have the expertise to do anything else, and so prices are rising to take advantage of their ignorance?
True, true.

That's brutal
Here's an example of China being upset.
I don't get the US centric bias towards military policy. Basically anyone that becomes capable of attacking the US is automatically an aggressor that needs sanction.
North Korea produces a lot of propaganda showing them destroying the US, so it's understandable.
It's not really accurate to call kapu a religion
It was more than just giving up Kapu. They destroyed the temples, the wooden statues, and abandoned the gods. What exactly would you call that?
