In any case, I have no sympathy. Angry millenial democrat bots have been filing complaints or resorting to violence for anything that offends their tender beliefs (see Berkeley).
The difference is that the FCC is a government agency.
For that matter, he's actually insulting women who give blow jobs as well because its such a vile act that only Trump would do it.
I think you're wrong about this. He wasn't suggesting Trump would give or has given a blowjob to Putin. He was drawing a word picture of Putin pissing in Trump's mouth, which is a) not a common sexual act and b) something that is in keeping with what we know about Trump.
[note: Just so nobody thinks I'm endorsing murder, I'm making a joke about a famous zen koan about killing the Buddha, and Ken Thompson. Both references probably will be lost on the young'n's here.]
These values include reverence of logic, an unshakeable belief in the power of collaboration, and a celebration of the psychic and tangible rewards of being a maker.
Get a load of this bullshit.
You want to teach programming, then teach programming. Don't make it out to be some sort of overarching value system.
Serious question, do you think that there is some special property of chess that presents a challenge greater than that of math, physics, biology, etc?
You appear to believe that any phrase that says "Women are worse at $MENTAL_ACTIVITY" is automatically wrong.
That is correct. My personal experience as the husband of a math professor at Rice University and the father of a young woman who is defending her PhD in mathematics next week, and who represent five generations of women with doctorate degrees in math, physics or biology, has been a compelling experience in the idea that women are somehow mentally inferior to men in any field whatsoever.
Unless of course, you believe there is some special property of writing code that presents a challenge greater (or different) than that of math, physics or biology.
If anything, the bias was against female musicians, making it likely that a female musician would be far better than most men, or she wouldn't have been hired at all.
Correct, which brings us to the point of this article.
Or do women make up a greater percentage of people pursuing orchestra positions, and thus more of them end up on the top?
There are more women than men in the world, so yeah, I guess you could say that.
The point I made was that before blind auditions, women made up a tiny fraction of professional orchestra players. Now, they represent the cohort more in line with their representation in the population as a whole.
Rather than invent an elaborate reason for why the code is getting rejected, the simplest explanation encompassing all facts is that the code is crap.
Until there were blind auditions, Occam's Razor would have said, "Women are worse musicians than men".
Simple explanations are simple, until they turn out to be wrong. Maybe instead of a simple explanation a simple test should be applied: make the code submissions blind.
Maybe because he's a Mexican student, in Mexico, who developed the technology for a Mexican company.
I realize that the idea that there are students and universities and technology and companies in Mexico just blows your mind, but it's a big world out there.
Back when having women in orchestras was rare, there was a similar belief as to why they weren't given jobs after auditioning. "Maybe they're just not as good as their male counterparts." or, "Women probably just don't have the strength to (blow a trumpet, hold a cello, play percussion)". You would hear, "It takes a lot of stamina and commitment to be a great musician, and women just don't have it."
That was the prevalent belief in the professional music world until orchestras started holding blind auditions. Now women make up more than 50% of professional orchestras.
When people want to cut Social Security and Medicate Leftists yell "people are entitled", "you hate the elderly", and "people pay into the system for retirement", but when it's a person who disagrees with your ideology its "Government Assistance". So which is it?
If you're going to make your entire reason for existence arguing that the government shouldn't help anyone and then be the first one in line for government help, it's just not a good look.
There is virtually nothing about Atlas Shrugged that has been, "prophetic". At least not in the way Rand intended.

Yes, you're correct. I misspoke. But I stand by the fact that Heller is almost certainly going to lose his reelection bid.
If you meet the ken on the street, kill him.

The movie industry moved West because of patents and weather, not taxes.
This is why I haven't left the house since 2003.
He'll be a private citizen before you know it. Heller is one of the GOP congressmen least likely to survive the 2018 election.
That was my point.
I didn't present my anecdote to provide any "data". It's just an explanation of my worldview when it comes to the "coding requires a penis" crowd.
This was the original idea for The Apprentice.
What do you have against Trump voters?
No.

Do you have a link proving that the people changing these rules have minds?

You mean the writer who championed personal responsibility and ended up on government assistance?
It's because everyone thinks they're a good driver, including the really bad drivers.
All culture is recycling. Ain't nothing new.
Shakespeare lifted the plots of Julius Caesar, Anthony & Cleopatra, Coriolanus and other plays entirely from Plutarch, down to the smallest detail.
Troilus and Cressida, and Mercutio's Queen Mab speech were all from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
Stories is stories. You can dress 'em up, you can add sex or turn it into an animated movie starring cars with faces, but it's the same stories.
Further, when someone comes out with something that is really original, people are as likely to complain as they are to love it.
