    that is all.

    he can't even write a sentence with a verb.

    He must have got someone else in to do it, because I can see one right in the middle.

    Are they the ones who don't drink, smoke, fornicate, play computer games, or gamble?

    Perhaps they don't live longer - it just seems like it.

  8. NOT EVERY JOB out there is meant to be made a career of, nor sole source of income to support yourself/family.

    Do you think a burger flipper should make the same as a highly skilled computer programmer?

    One like you, Mr Awesome? But I don't recall anyone actually suggesting that, so find your strawman's ass and go fuck it.

  9. Just be grateful they aren't all as awesome as you. You might be shielded from offshoring & H1-Bs but a bit of domestic competition could eat into your billing rate.

  10. Re:autism or not, reason should override "feelings on 'I See Things Differently': James Damore on his Autism and the Google Memo (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    It was a statement that needs about as much reasoning and evidence to back it up as "fire is hot".

    Compared to something like a nuclear explosion its difference from absolute zero is a rounding error.

  11. Re:Not limited to music on Stock Music Artists Aren't Always Happy About How Their Music Is Used (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    There is a small gathering of laws like publicity rights and such. I suspect they will grow more and more as time goes on.

    I'm sure the solution will involve a blockchain.

    Putting up shelves. Having babies.

    It's left as an exercise for the reader to work out which way round.

  14. nothing to be taken seriously other than by nut cases

    I see what you did there, but technically they're legumes.

    What if he wrote that Jewish people were bad at solo programming?

    If they formed X% of the general population but only a quarter of that of people employed in that task what would you conclude? Absent any specific exclusion, I mean.

  16. Re: So it's defective by design then? on 10-Year-Old Boy Cracks the Face ID On Both Parents' IPhone X (wired.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    they apparently can't unlock each others phones so they don't look like each other

    Perhaps they aren't from West Virginia.

  17. There's a similar error in Oryx and Crake. I shan't say anything more specific in case anyone is going to read it, which I would still recommend despite it.

  18. The iHeater. Only $199!

    I only read The Economist one, but if you think that's a "well written [sic] article" then you have pretty low standards.

    Maybe there's a pejorative word for those who recognize that there are differences in the sexes.

    If Atilla the Hun is on your lawn with a sword and you are rude and dismissive, he'll most likely stab you.

    You're judging someone you've never met and making assumptions about his behaviour based on his origin & ethnicity? What a xenophobic cunt you are!

  24. Causality is not a drama set in Holby. on 'I See Things Differently': James Damore on his Autism and the Google Memo (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Damore also undermines his claim to be rational with his tweets. Once fired and free to speak his mind without filter, it becomes obvious what his biases are.

    It couldn't possibly be the case that, for the reason highlighted, he's a tad pissed off, could it?
