    Good you pointed out the law Clinton broke with the Clinton foundation. Again what law was broken by Trump that actually has proof beyond vague rumors. This has been going on for more than a year and there is still nothing. Not only that investigators are starting to resign from Mueller's team.

    ACLU in Virginia reported that police were told to stand down . "Claire Guthrie Gastañaga, Executive Director of the ACLU of Virginia, told NPR Monday that she was present at the rally and “law enforcement was standing passively by, waiting for violence to take place, so that they would have grounds to declare an emergency, declare an ‘unlawful assembly’ and clear the area.”
    Oh I don't believe for one second the police chiefs saying there wasn't a stand down order. More than one police officer told people that they were told to stand down.

    Washingtonpost /huffingtonpost.com just read any of the comments. The governor saying we want them to "leave the US", coding for it's alright to use violence against them.He was also the one ordering stand down by the police, and look what happened.

    American has lost its way where it thinks free speech should be limited. More than one black ACLU attorney defended the KKK on many free speech issues. . The ACLU has also defended the Nazi's rights to protest.
    You cannot have free speech if you limit anyone's right to speech.

    Claim is bunk. Speak with A Geek never publish research paper, data,methods and worst of all they tested more than one independent variable at a time. Name,gender,school were all removed and maybe more they didn't tell any more what they did, for all we know they had a calculation error.. It would be really funny if the underlying data was 50/50 ratio and it ended up with a 50% ratio. Finally it is more than 5x increase compared to the blind orchestra study that compared more than 30 years of data. https://dash.harvard.edu/bitst...

    James Damore is going to win a lawsuit because the whole "diversity training" and things google was doing to increase "diversity" were something he thought might be illegal. James doesn't need to be correct if Google's diversity training was actually illegal, the act of firing him for raising the issue is against the law. Google will settle because they would want it to go away quickly.

    Find it funny that biologists directly find differences in male/female genders of different species, especially with primates. Suddenly with humans we become politically correct and throw scientific methods out the window.

    "Use to work", Google literally got ideas for their "diversity training" recently directly from Anita Sarkeesian, yes that Anita Sarkeesian. Google has lost their way, basically no one in their google ideas summit on how to get more women in coding actually had any scientific background at all.

    Um read the interview, it was prompted by an "diversity training" that was literally came from Google having Anita Sarkeesian come in and tell them how to get more women in coding. Just look at their "google ideas" photos , there are basically no actual people with any credentials that Google is basing their entire "diversity training" on.

    Zen/Ryzen has better performance per watt than anything Intel has currently or will offer for at least the next 6 months or longer. Example a 4-core 7700k Intel chip uses more power than a 8 core Ryzen 1700. It is basically impossible for Intel to get wattage down without a new lithography and arch, which isn't happening for more than 6 months or longer, cannonlake got pushed back until second half 2018, 10nm isn't going well.
