Again which "minorities" are you talking about? Asians are a "minority" in the US, but are "overrepresented" in the graduation rates. How can that be? Is the institution not biased against Asians (or South Asians/Indians)? Why do you never ask yourself these important questions? Are you afraid of the answers?
No, no, no, it is YOU that I see whinging about EVERYTHING. See how that works? I wasn't "triggered" by anything, although I realize that "triggers" is part of your religious nomenclature. I constantly think people like you are silly. You aren't out for "social justice", you don't even know what that means in reality. And no, "diversity" in this case means women, black, or Hispanic. This mirrors exactly what "diversity" being produced by the various relevant schools. It isn't a mystery.
No, no, no, I think it is YOU who wants to oppress everyone. Neener, neener! See how that works? Infantile and moronic. The problem with people like you is that there IS a problem with racism, and systemic racism, but when you whine about EVERYTHING it dilutes the problem and people close their ears to the real underlying issues that exist. The reason the tech industry diversity numbers are so low is due to two things: they don't count Asians (including Indians) as "diverse", and it reflects who is graduating from Universities in the relevant fields. If you "fix" that problem, then the issue goes away.
You KNOW you really want to write "cisgender white males". Also, I said "systemic", not you. You said "institutional". See, even you are getting confused between what I posted in jest, and what you spew on a daily basis.
More proof of systemic racism: even though the white recruiters were given an incentive to hire for diversity, their innate racist tendencies overrode that incentive and they continued to hire cisgender white males.
Intel is the next tech giant to have mass layoffs. It obviously is hitting a dead end if it is arguing over such small increments of performance. Moores Law was fun while it lasted, but depending on transistor count for performance gains isn't going to work.
That is because these types of layoffs are due to MBA style executive mismanagement. How do you suddenly lay off 20% of people? What kind of planning is that? How many years were these 14,000 people not needed? What are the other 70,000 people doing? Why do you need 70,000 people at a company like that?
You are wrong. They are laying off the hardware side, and hiring on the software side. The problem is that it doesn't require a workforce of 70,000 to do what Cisco does.
The problem is that the MBAs should have prevented the company from getting to that point. Why do you have executives and managers that let a company get so bloated that you can cut by 50%? It should never get to that point in the first place, but the managers and execs like to hire people because it satisfies their ego to have that many people "report" to them.
If you prefer to change your device less frequently, then don't change it. I have an iPhone 4s and it runs the latest iOS. I think the going rate for one is about $60 unlocked. I only get laughed at by hipsters with the 6+ gigantic iPhones in huge otterbox cases. But then I let the air out of their fixie bike tires and they aren't laughing any more.
Migration, disease and war are already occurring. Temperature is the least of our worries. We should be worrying about other things: lack of stability in lots of the modern world, fresh water, Donald Trump. I'm not worrying about 2 degrees warming.
Oh yeah, thats the hardest part. The steering. We launch probes the size of postage stamps all the time to go to other star systems. Well we WOULD have done it, except we couldn't figure out the steering.
So since we can fly in airplanes, we will be visiting other star systems real soon now? Cool! Also, because we can fly in airplanes, it must mean that Star Trek transporters are possible too!
Christ, space nutters are delusional. Anti-matter rockets? Don't you realize that anti-matter is simply a theory? It isn't something you just stuff in a rocket. Christ.

Which minorities? Asians and South Asians (Indians) are overrepresented in STEM/CS. What "minorities" are we talking about here?

You said "It's an institutional problem". Thats why I said "systemic racism". It captures you perfectly. Thanks for proving my point.

Would a host blocker written in Delphi help here?
Worse than Clinton?
Worse than Trump?

I love it when someone posts to a PDF on the Internet and saying "look, here is proof"! It would be comical if it wasn't so pathetic.
The marketing of the Angry Birds movie was amazing. He would make a good Marketing guy. He knows how to spend money on it.
Gmail is interoperable with other email systems. Social networks aren't. Thus making it invite only was stupid.

Under a decade? Try 30,000 years.

Science fiction. Blog posts aren't reality.
The fastest probe we ever has built goes 0.023%. It is doubtful we will even get to 1%, ever.
