  1. Re:If they ban existing vehicles I will sue on California Considers Banning Internal Combustion Engines To Meet Emissions Goals (sacbee.com) · · Score: 0

    It's a ludicrous cost for us to bear when electric mountain-capable vehicles just don't exist.

    Never mind the electric helicopters and airplanes jetting in and out of California.

  2. Re:Need vs Politics on From Google To Yahoo, Tech Grapples With White Male Discontent (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 0

    Worse yet, gay white males are ignored as being any different. Try getting any support from Fox News or the ACLU for a gay white male. It sucks never getting any representation. Look at what they did to destroy Milo's career, and no one even blinked.

    Gay white men are tolerated if they tow the party line. Perhaps get a piercing or two or otherwise act as an SJW. Milo was attacked for being conservative. If he was liberal places like Berkley would have welcomed him - even perhaps given him free Vaseline for life. Here is another white male. This type of male is widely accepted by Google and other of these evil tech companies. http://www.sofeminine.co.uk/ke...

  3. Re:You got fired... on James Damore Explains Why He Was Fired By Google (wsj.com) · · Score: 0

    Bullshit. He was lecturing. And really, even if he's right, what message is he sending to his female colleagues, that somehow his male brain gives him at least a statistical edge over them?

    Is Google being harmed by its gender policies? Was he? At the end of the day, one presumes he was hired as a software developer or engineer, and not to write screeds against his employer's hiring practices.

    There's evidence pointing in both directions, and the jury is still out on how much of the gender disparity in areas like the STEM fields derives from biological/cognitive differences and cultural differences. Unless this is an area for which he actually has sufficient background to back up his statements, not only is he well out of his own field, but he is very much encouraging stereotypical sentiment.

    He was responding to a secret meeting Google held with its staff to discuss 'diversity'. And comments were solicited on the meeting from Google staff. Damore has a background in the area since he did similar research at MIT. For God's sake do some research before you spout forth with such vacuous tripe.

    Your mental. A person who is not a white male will absolutely get paid attention to almost immediately.

    You are 1000% correct. I've seen it in every software company I've worked for.

    I love how you snowflakes cry.

    How embarrassing - you don't have the foggiest idea that snowflakes are the Starbucks drinking hipsters and students at universities having a meltdown and shouting "Hitler, Hitler" re Trump and SJWs having hysterics on campus when someone dares utter a remark they disapprove of. You know that students at Harvard went into paroxysms of panic about Halloween costumes do you? They thought said costumes were racist and culturally appropriated. Where have you been? Playing games in mom's basement too long I suspect.

    If anyone is conducting a (metaphorical) war on America, it's the news media. How many hyped up bullshit stories is it going to take before news media consumers realize it's 95% storytelling and 5% actual events?

    Exactly. Well put. Mayer's background at Google was more of a high flying project manager than general manager and it shows.

    The whole thing is fatuous. Of course, there has been climate change for millions of years. Most of Canada and Northern Europe was under more than mile of ice 15,000 years ago. And even if it is CO2 related if Iowa became carbon neutral tomorrow it would do not a jot of good. There is no dome over Iowa. As I said - everything about this piece is fatuous more a demonstration of poor education in the US than of any relevance to anything.

    Poor white neighborhoods have more violent crime too. They have higher levels of drug abuse too. You're simply trying to justify your racism. Unfortunately, the facts you cite don't support your position.

    Another fine example of poor reasoning in Americans. Statistics show the crime in predominantly white areas is lower than black areas regardless of socioeconomic level. You just pulled that statement out of your ass didn't you?

    What's your point? Most advanced countries have two candidates and they vote for one or the other. More to the point, your post, like many on this /. topic is a fine example of the point: American adults have poor reasoning abilities. Surely voting for Obama - a man with little experience - illustrates the point. (Criticism of Romney is moot. On paper he certainly appears more competent than Obama, but there is no evidence beyond that.)

    But I'm hoping we never actually prove that souls exist. That's one door I'd prefer to remain closed. If science determined that souls exist, then we'd be figuring out ways to harness souls for energy.
