All of the above is correct, but I'll add that while they are called "Chemists" they have a science degree in pharmacy. Typically there are a several counter staff and one or two qualified pharmacists in an area behind them. The counter staff ring up the sales etc.
Automation is not always the answer - some people from all nations ignore traffic signals if they cannot see an immediate reason for them (eg. people driving through a red light at midnight when there is no traffic) but are less likely to ignore a direction from someone in a uniform. If the person in uniform then gets their directions from those with a full overview they perform the function of the signals but are more likely yo be obeyed. Notice how many events have security guys to discourage people from climbing onto a stage instead of just signs?
Just give it up instead of drunken or thoughtless posts like the above. I tried to reply without being insulting but you persist in writing drivel that is nothing but a boring waste of both of our time.
As I recall, the dominant paradigm at the time was that the interglacial was ending and we were about to crash into the next ice age
You recall one single "clickbait" style cover of TIME magazine designed to stir people up and start an argument. They justified it with something about "both sides of the story", where apparently on some issues nutcases get equal time to the rest of humanity.
Until they can anything based on them is politics. In either direction.
The age old conflict of those with money and no clue versus those with a clue. Barbarian overlords who think every plot of land is like any other versus farmers who know the difference between arable land and swamp. Eventually the rulers have to listen to the experts or risk a fuckup bad enough to endanger their rule.
They do not but they got it anyway (active discouragement) and it drove them out of an industry - removing the cultural shit that has turned IT into a sausage fest and back to normal office work is what it's about.
The funny thing is it's likely that if you told some guy from the 1950s what you did for a living that they would dismiss it as "women's work", yet so many here make noise about how females are not fit to do such "women's work".
No it is most definitely not as seen in the article and many clarifying comments here. You may WANT it to be so that you can have something to rail against, but in this case that's being somewhat dishonest is it not? That sort of explains why we are talking past each other - you are discussing something that is not the topic at hand!
The oil and gas industries use fully documented data formats of which one from nearly fifty years ago (SEGD) is still in use which means files from the 1970s can still be read by current software with no need to convert. If an industry as commercially focused as oil can use published open source data formats then so can this telecommunications company.
If you think back to your school years or meet a few students you'll find plenty of examples of people who could not succeed at the more difficult high school mathematics subjects. That's why there is more than one stream. A lack of motivation may have more bearing than a lack of "talent", but for whatever reason some of it is seen as too difficult for some students.
I suggest you actually think about what you've written above, and instead of "more oppressive" substitute "just about everywhere else outside of the middle east". Is life in Indian cities more oppressive? Manilla? Seoul? Taiwan? I'm sure if you try hard you can come to some answers that you will believe instead of a kneejerk denial just because someone over 25 suggested it. The US IT culture (which has spread out of California and Texas to the UK etc) has really fucked this up and I've seen more women in mining, power generation and oil refining than I've seen in IT. The last thing I went to on IPv6 had fifty guys and one female who was there as a sales rep for the vendor who sponsored the event - how pathetic is that? A Christmas thing put on by a vendor had a couple of wives of the vendor's staff and that was it for female attendance.
It seems to me that females do not prefer CS as much as their male counter parts.
They used to. It was 50/50 when I was taking CS classes as the "soft" option for engineering credit and I got to see half a class of girls instead of nine out of three hundred. Some time between 1985 and now we've fucked things up and a bit of repair makes sense.
It really means a place where battered women can hide from some guy that wants to find them and beat the shit out of them, but it's not socially acceptable to be so blunt that rich students have those problems too, or financially acceptable to admit there is a need for it, so other stuff gets layered on top especially when you have 20 year olds at Universities attaching politics and meaning to everything.
Think back to your school years, I'm sure you'll remember that very few of the kids even got to touch calculus, let alone do a couple of years of it. Sure high school maths is very easy in hindsight but a lot of kids didn't go near the harder subjects.
From your ID you should be old enough to remember when nearly all vets were male, nearly half the grade school teachers were male, and close to 100% of those running the grade schools were male.
All I'm saying is that we shouldn't be so arrogant in our beliefs that we lock people in jail for disagreeing
Which is not what the article is about. It's about fines and so on for "astroturfing" and other organised fraud campaigns (paid speech), not locking people up at all, and especially not for expressing free speech.
So your comparisons and odd divergence into comparing religion and science miss the mark somewhat. Nobody is being so arrogant in their beliefs that they are suggesting locking people in jail for disagreeing here.
People SHOULD be afraid of guns, especially those who use them. They are a dangerous tool to be handled with care. If they are not treated with respect idiots do things like get a nine year old girl to fire an Uzi on full auto and then are shocked when the obvious death on the range happens. I was firing a bolt action.22 rifle at that age but that's not a difficult thing for a responsible child to handle after a bit of training.
I very much doubt it. Far more more people have heard of the NRA than Michael Moore. I really do not see how you came to the odd conclusion you came to above, it looks like a very strange over-reaction to me or some sort of defensiveness over someone you perceive as some sort of enemy. So, please tell us why you think this way? What is the big deal about a bunch of city civilians who pretend to be some sort of warriors on weekends (and can't run a sporting club for shit - basic gun safety went right out the window) versus some guy that less people have heard of that has a problem with that bunch of losers? Do you have a dog in the fight?
So you are that type of idiot? Watch out kid! Black helicopters are a'commin. Better get yer wife and sister - lucky they are the same, saves time y'awl.

That's not a point, that is bullshit as shown by many things starting with the declining figures.
Please sober up before posting.

Of course you do.
How else did you get that first job?
How else do you get to keep it?
If you are self employed how else do you get customers?
In posts like the one above it's often best to think before posting.

You missed that there is a trend elsewhere.
It's not about you, it's about numbers going from close to 50% to close to zero.
No it is most definitely not as seen in the article and many clarifying comments here.

Did you reply to the wrong post?

Which by the numbers have become clubs for boys hence a niche required for shy girls, since the shy boys already have their niche.

She's a kid, the only python she should be playing with is on the screen so it's far too early to call her a lesbian.
I think the spelling is part of the joke.
I'm hoping that the joke is deliberate though and not US education.
