And she doesn't go into much detail about how exactly it's supposed to go about doing that, but "science" has been open to all for the entirety of its existence, and hasn't produced the outcome she liked. I have a sneaking suspicion that her fix will be one set of standards to accept scientific evidence from despicable white men and another standard for everybody else.
I can't help but notice that every time a woman talks about science or technology, the topic is "women in science or technology" rather than "science or technology".
my parents just kicked me out of the house most of the summer
And these days, my wife goes into hysterics if our kids set foot outside the house because she's convinced somebody will kidnap them. When I tell her I spent every single day of every single summer outside from the time I was 10 to the time I was old enough to drive she just insists that "times were different back then".
The "Miracles from Heaven" trailer ended with the mom saying "you're telling me that when my daughter fell 20 feet onto her head it didn't paralyze her, but it cured her of the incurable disease that she was suffering from?" The movie was two hours of the mother agonizing over whether or not her daughter would be cured of the incurable disease that she was suffering from.
Well, assuming that this is all true (these are just accusations), I can guarantee that it wasn't coming from the CS-major code-cranking computer nerds, but from the stuffed-suit MBA types that have infested my chosen profession. I can further guarantee that the people who will be punished for their behavior won't be the stuffed-suits but the meek introverted nerds who didn't participate or even witness any of it.
I'm... not sure I follow what you're trying to say. Are you trying to say that the woman made an unfounded allegation because she was in a cutthroat employment situation and she needed to find a way to secure her job, or that the guys were being rude because they were trying to impress the boss with their rudeness?
Yes, I agree. You have to do all three: listen to lectures/explanations given by somebody who already knows the source material, read the books, AND do the hands-on exercises, in order to actually master a subject. If you skip any of those three, you won't really understand it.
That always kind of bugs me whenever I read foreign resumes - I’m sure that my own resume has been tossed right in the trash because my undergrad was at Valdosta State University and not MIT. But nobody here knows the difference between the University of Moscow and the University of Leningrad, so it’s like everybody not from the United States is automatically on a level playing field.
Well, no, not exactly - there's a massive preference for Indians in tech hiring; just being Indian gives you an automatic +20 in the hiring process. If that's based on faulty prejudice, it's worth at least exposing.
What jumps out most about this posting to me is this: "Mpengine is a vast and complex attack surface". This is why I don't see this getting any better (probably getting worse) any time in the future: reducing complexity is never, ever, ever a goal that warrants any time or budget in any organization, least of all Microsoft. If you can find a way to reduce complexity that takes no time and costs no money, go for it, but otherwise, you must be adding features, all the time.
Fortunately for Facebook, there's a well-defined, broadly accepted, unambiguous, non-contentious definition of what constitutes "hate speech" which remains constant from one culture to the next.
Yeah really... as far as I can tell, the "alt right" just made Pepe into a pro-Trump symbol. So, they're saying that supporting (or even not despising) the otherwise democratically elected president of the United States is "hate"? Historically, this sort of thing doesn't end well.

the scientific community needs to be more PC

I especially like the part where the pushback was "largely from white men", meaning that it can be safely ignored because their input doesn't count.
Of all the places SJW types should stay the hell out of, aside from politics, its science.
And Starbucks. Leave me alone to drink my coffee in peace.

Walk to the local park
Yeah, that's what I do. I walk to the local park so they can play on the swings while I stare at my iPhone.

I'll say. For the average to be 1/3, there have to be two people that don't look at their screens at all to balance me out.
interests of Japanese women
I, too, am interested in Japanese women.
Almost always, actually.

Actually, that's exactly what I'm looking for, but because of whiny social-justice crusaders like you they never get made.
Super intellectual movies that have real depth, and challenge us to think in new ways
You misspelled "boring"

Actually the summary was so incomprehensible that I was successfully fooled into reading the article. Well played, OP!
It would not only not be cheaper, it would never get done either.
That's EXACTLY what he said and meant.

nothing but anti-Indian-IT propaganda.

that nobody asked for
Actually, the CIA asked.

but it makes many managers uncomfortable
Yet having remote workers on a different continent, in a different time zone, who don't necessarily speak the same language, is perfectly logical.
