LMOL yeah tell that to the 20,000 people they laid off and then went to Congress complaining there weren't enough skilled labor so they need more H1B Visas. Ass-hole.
Take head out ass for a second. Programming is not a core course. Algebra is a core course. Algebra is fundamental and other subjects build off it, like programming. Programming is not fundamental. Now you may put your head up your ass.
"Over and over, Dr. Cheryan and her colleagues have found that female students are more interested in enrolling in a computer class if they are shown a classroom (whether virtual or real) decorated not with “Star Wars” posters, science-fiction books, computer parts and tech magazines, but with a more neutral décor — art and nature posters, coffee makers, plants and general-interest magazines."
"The researchers also found that cultural stereotypes about computer scientists strongly influenced young women’s desire to take classes in the field. At a young age, girls already hold stereotypes of computer scientists as socially isolated young men whose genius is the result of genetics rather than hard work. Given that many girls are indoctrinated to believe that they should be feminine and modest about their abilities, as well as brought up to assume that girls are not innately gifted at science or math, it is not surprising that so few can see themselves as successful computer scientists."
If you read the article it's about creating an inviting environment, which is true of anyplace. Walk into room with Star Wars posters and you wonder what kind of loser works here.
The H1B program is broken in it's current form. It needs to be scrapped. Like other countries, e.g., Germany, the guest work visa program needs to be tightly monitored. No company should be allowed to flood the application process. No outsourcing or contractor companies should be allowed to apply, period. The reality is there is not shortage of STEM applicants. Plenty of qualified people. If you want to hire people from 3rd world countries, thereby undercutting labor rates, then locate your business there. You'll do more to help that country raise their standard of living by doing that. Not that you were truly interested in doing that.

Actually it has, it just doesn't fit your argument...
douche bag post comment...news at 11....
Landing on the moon didn't have the most profound impact on human learning? Seriously? Take your head out of your ass and crack open a book sometime.
It's the other way around - Math and critical thinking help in programming.
Apparently you do
Listen ass-hole, they could just donate money and let the school decided what they actually need.
LMOL yeah tell that to the 20,000 people they laid off and then went to Congress complaining there weren't enough skilled labor so they need more H1B Visas. Ass-hole.
And computer programming is abstract.
Critical thinking is teach about logical fallacies, i,e, errors of reasoning. Look up List of fallacies sometime https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
You apparently have no idea what critical thinking is.
Microsoft trolling...nice...
To make sure you are bombing the right people.
Considering a Republican (Gorge W Bush) caused the creation of ISIS, the Republican party is certainly not trying to keep us safe.
did you read the article...it answers your question...
You do if you liked the prequels...
You do realize the audience is the one doing the objectifying...
Yeah that worked out well for Greg Hardy and Ray Rice.

Star Wars is social engineering. Disney is betting your brain has turned to mush after watching so much crap that you will go and see this movie.
It's pretty easy when you read the article:
"Over and over, Dr. Cheryan and her colleagues have found that female students are more interested in enrolling in a computer class if they are shown a classroom (whether virtual or real) decorated not with “Star Wars” posters, science-fiction books, computer parts and tech magazines, but with a more neutral décor — art and nature posters, coffee makers, plants and general-interest magazines."

Yo ass-hole there is a wage gap. Men get paid more than women. It's well documented too.
If you read the article it's about creating an inviting environment, which is true of anyplace. Walk into room with Star Wars posters and you wonder what kind of loser works here.
Because "Star Wars" has something to do with programming...oh that's right it doesn't. But hey keep pushing those cultural stereotypes...
From a Russian state-funded news site....nice source there Zippy...

Somebody doesn't understand fee markets....take a class on economics. Now fuck off.
