Women _CHOOSING_ not to obtain a degree in Software is the problem. That is not sexism, that is a fact with statistics to back the fact. Women are getting far more degrees than men, but are choosing degrees in Psychology, Medical Doctors, Law, Political Science, Journalism, and other fields not related to Software.
Prove to us that you are correct, show me the College discrimination that keeps women away from STEM. I searched, there is no such thing as institutional sexism in College prohibiting women from obtaining a degree related to software. In fact it is quite the opposite. Universities are begging for women to obtain STEM degrees, as is society, as are employers.
Next, prove that degrees don't matter. I have a Mathematics degree. Is the fact that I can't get a job as a MRI specialist or BioChemist related to the fact that I'm being discriminated against, or my _CHOICE_ in degrees? A Law degree does not provide any credentials for STEM.
Lastly, prove to me that women are choosing other fields due to discriminatory aptitude tests which give a lower score to women because "sexism". Aptitude testing is the number one factor for determining a degree choice.
You can't prove any of those things. Go ahead and try to back your allegation with _FACTS_. Something you SJWs seem to despise with a passion.
0.70c on the dollar has been debunked over and over again. Discrimination in the workplace has been illegal since I was a kid in the 70s. This includes discrimination against women. Currently 64% of all Doctorates, 61% of all Masters degrees, 58% of all Bachelors, and 57% of all Associated degrees go to women. Women are more likely to get hired for a job when put against a man with the same credentials, and even higher when you compare ethnicity. A Hispanic/Black woman will be hired 80% of the time over a Hispanic/Black male. Women have more scholarships, higher rate of approvals for education grants, and higher rate of student loans. Non Whites have the same advantages. The only people getting "screwed" by the system currently are white males. The rest is a fabrication based on repeated propaganda (lies).
Do a web search for stats yourself, I'm tired of providing citations. People with agenda will deny they exist regardless, and if you are curious they are easy enough to find.
Sadly, this has made it a place where people no longer believe real issues. When everything is an "ism", nothing is an "ism".
The country is not going to be competitive in the future because identity politics is isolating people into fact averse gangs, each using their own type of thuggery to get "theirs".
The people arrested didn't seem to be the deluge of selfie taking people. The recommendation should be to simply not be violent at a protest so that you are not arrested, which results in the confiscation of your phone (and generally a good chuck of cash, and perhaps anal virginity).
I'm probably one of the most pro Free Speech people you will ever meet. Free Speech does not include any form of violence. See the Non Aggression Principle
While sabotage is possible, so is carelessness from a soldiers assigned to the depot. When I was in the Army I was a member of a team who did pre ARTEP OPFOR. Supply units were horrible, the worst of the back lines units. It's boring work for the soldiers, leading to massive complacency and struggles with morale. Medical units were much more alert, much busier, and tended to have much higher morale.
Considering many of these depots are not as well constructed or older, it only takes a small accident to have a big result.
I should also have provided my solution. I have Mac, Linux and Windows versions of Keepass and KeepassX on a thumb drive. I clone the drive and maintain a backup in a safe. My thumb drive contains the keepass DBs as well as the binaries. It's portable and self contained so I don't worry about someone snagging my data. The master password is a beyatch for my master DB containing other passwords. Other keepass DBs which actually contain connection data have a 32 character random "strong" password stored in the master.
if you don't control the Git server you suffer from the same problem. Once someone obtains your files, the cracking can begin. I'm not saying that cracking would be easybut the amount of resources available to hackers is insane. There are millions of compromised hosts being used constantly for these purposes, as well as sending spam, serving malware, etc... The old days of simply being concerned with State Actors is no longer valid.
I know of companies (perhaps even my current) which recommends people use LastPass over KeePass/KeePassX. The fact that they recommend a person use a password generator is good, but anything in the Cloud means that you _DO_NOT_ have physical control of the system storing passwords. The First rule of security is that you must have physical control of everything. All other Security rules come after that one.
The Company problem is a symptom of promoting "marketing geniuses" and "number crunchers" to be in charge of Security, instead of promoting Security geniuses to be in charge of Security. As a security expert I have some great horror stories about bad decisions, and can tell you that stock options are constantly ready to be sold.
So you believe in God, but not Theology? Perhaps that's true for you, I'm only responding to the people pushing the propaganda and the intellectually deficient that believe the propaganda.
Descartes proved self existence. "I think, therefor I am". It is simple, brilliant, and is not challenged by these wacky theories. If you take the theory of living in a simulation to it's logical conclusion, there is no self determination or self reliance. Life is predetermined, and there is nothing you can do to improve your position in life.
People who believe in no self determination and no self reliance are quite disturbing. This is an extreme view supporting communist ideology.
What Socrates stated in a better translation is that there is no way to teach Philosophy with a book. Philosophy is taught through interrogation of concepts and ideas. (Cambridge Texts:Linguistic/Historical)
Which is of course what we call "The Socratic Method". Most people are not taught the method and don't bother to read the method even though there are plenty of books. Socrates was more often correct than not.
Oh no, as GP stated I noticed the same thing and now try not to ever use map assists. Emergency issues are different in my opinion.
I happened to move to a new State 5/6 years ago. I kept using Nav and could not find crap even after I had been there one or two times. In the past, I could get back to a place I found once using maps, including other States and Cities. I read a similar report to this and pretty quickly started using the computer to get the map and make the route, but no assist in when driving. What a huge difference it made in a few months time.
I think the early reports of this were poo-pooed by techies as conspiracy theory nonsense, accusing people of reporting the experiences as tin foil hatters.
The subject for people to review is called Natural Law. Individual Liberty has been an issue since recorded history began. John Locke was one of the main influences for the Founders of the US, but also influenced Law in much/most of the West.
Yesterday there was a report that a Jordanian airline banned these devices, and the first thing I thought was someone figured out how to weaponize certain laptops. This news declares that much, so yesterday's news makes more sense.
Bomb sniffing dogs may get them, but in dozens of flights including International this year I have seen very few dogs.
Thanks for the admission, most would not bother. The question around Meals on Wheels I asked earlier are still valid. I believe that we would agree that the majority of their federal funds is not being cut. The 3% could easily be added to the non-discretionary budget if it was deemed necessary. Meaning, we would not need to keep a 3+Billion dollar program simply to hand a couple bucks to Meals on Wheels.
As someone smarter than me pointed out the other day, why are these extremely wealthy elites not chipping in to pay the full bill? It's peanuts for Gates, or Zuckerberg, or Cuban, or Bezos, or Musk, or any of these other corrupt cronies who keep taking from the system and demanding that we (lower => middle class) keep paying more and more. Meanwhile they keep getting richer and richer.
I don't pay federal taxes to have my wealth re-distributed to charities of someone else' choosing. I like to choose where my money goes, and do so when possible. At a better than 40% tax rate (California, Fed, Fica), there really is not much left over for charity though.
I asked reasonable questions and answered each of your points. Your response is to head right to a personal attack. Who exactly is the asshole? Oh, you.. the Leftist. Troll
I find it hilarious that people like you want to complain about everything Republican and ignore your own party. FWIW I'm an independent and not affiliated with any party. I voted simply for the lesser of two evils this year. I have no sympathy for the Democratic party, and the lumps they are continually taking are well deserved. The Democratic party has become the party of the 3rd wave feminists, terrorist sympathizers, and openly socialist who despise the US Constitution and our form of Government.
Stay in the Democratic party, I'm sure they have a way to play to your identity too. Until of course you are no longer useful to them.
You are very confused. The progressive left and owned media continue unabated with claims of being a Russian puppet (Comey stated again today that there is no evidence for Russia connections). This is in addition to the Progressives claiming him and everyone else who disagrees with their agenda is a racist, homophobe, Islamaphobe, xenophobe, misogynist, Nazi, antisemitic, and deplorable. The only time Trump or his administration said something about wiretapping was to force them to put up or shut up. Which amazingly the media changed their tune and went from dozens of reports from unnamed sources to "we don't know where he got that information".
Meanwhile the Progressives and their paid-for protesters continue to lose support because people are fed up with the lies from them and media. GP stated that he left the Republican party, and I laugh. I know at least a hundred family members, friends, and acquaintances who left the Democratic party since they started their tirade the day after the election.
I put that as a question because perhaps you are just living in a bubble. Why not ask researchers and thought leaders on the other side of the aisle thoug?
Trump isn't the cause, he's a symptom. People feel threatened, they get tribal and mean... and they tend to do stupid things that make the problems causing them to feel threatened get worse.
Are you saying that the smart thing to do was vote for the continuation and status quo of Hillary? Who exactly is being stupid? Doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result each time is insanely delusional.
Trump was elected over economic fear. Fear of the 1% (whose frankly ludicrous levels of wealth get thrown in our face by the media daily... and those aren't even the richest tier of people), fear of foreigners stealing our jobs.
Not exactly. Immigration and borders were at least as big of an issue. An issue that politicians were promising to address since I was a kid in the 70s and have yet to do anything about (except make the situation worse (see Visa expansions)). I say bullshit about fear of the 1%, because it was more about being pro-American after 8 years of anti-American rhetoric, and 8 years of wars. TPPIP was shit for Americans, we saw the releases and discussed them here. Like H1Bs they are crap for Americans and a boon to foreigners. Cancelling those deals is not anti-Foreign, because the deals were made to benefit the foreign. Cancellation simply levels the field a bit.
So... vote in Trump to keep out the foreigners and stop the 1%ers in Washington. Which damages the economy and it turns out the kind of guy you vote in to the top position actually wants to line his own pockets and those of his (significant) supporters... the 1%.
Sure, that was a part of it. Then you grab your crystal ball and start making predictions which have no basis in fact. President Trump already lost a ton of wealth because of the oligarchs disliking their loss and his win. You know, those same oligarchs that several University studies stated were controlling the US instead of "We the People".
It's a global problem because the same socioeconomic forces are driving the same mob reactions around the world.
No, it's a global problem because the same oligarchs trying to spoil the US have been working time in numerous countries across the world. The push back is against a group pushing for global authoritarianism, not global liberty. If it was the latter, people would probably be happy. It's not, as we can see by damage in virtually every way from Europe to Africa to the Americas. The oligarchs get richer, and everyone else has become poorer. The oligarchs sit beyond the law, and everyone else continues to lose liberty.
