Garbage collection requires quite a lot of upper-body strength, and on average men have more upper-body strength than women. The same applies to quite a few other physically-intensive jobs.
Computer science doesn't require much physical strength. So something about the profession or the work environment is making women not choose it, and I think we should make an effort to figure out what it is. If it's something we can fix, we should because we need to attract as many good people as possible to the profession.
I live in Canada and the only decent content I've found on Netflix has been TV series and documentaries. The movies are truly awful, for the most part.
I think piracy is theft. It's not the content that's being stolen, it's the forgone revenue that is being stolen.
I certainly am no fan of the current copyright enforcement regime, but I do think that content creators and owners should be able to control the terms by which their works can be obtained. The market will sort out those who over-charge, but piracy distorts the market and hurts all content-creators.
I'm not sure this would be a big problem for famous actors, but knowing someone's date of birth is an important piece is building a portfolio for identity theft. I think it's quite reasonable for people not to want their birth date published.
Yeah, I was shocked by the level of religiosity in parts of the US. I was at a technical conference in Phoenix a few years ago and sitting down to lunch with a bunch of people. I was just about to tuck in when they all started to say grace.
I'm thinking, WTF? Is it 1875 or something? That's so quaint!
I bet not. Most of the money taken in by religious institutions doesn't go to charity; it goes to maintaining churches, etc. And given the incalculable harm caused by religion over the millenia, I'd say religions are deeply in the whole when it comes to being in debt to society.
Chip and Signature makes no sense... that's totally ridiculous.
Here in Canada, we've had chip and PIN for years and it works beautifully. While some terminals are a bit slow, they're typically the ones deployed at small mom-and-pop retailers. I've never encountered any slowness or any problems at major stores, bars or restaurants.
It's not simply a matter of modulating the frequency to make a woman's voice sound like a man's or vice-versa. There are a lot more differences than that between men and women's speech. Women tend to change their pitch over a wider range than men, who tend to use a narrower range of pitches. They also tend to have breathier voices than men and way less resonance. So it could be that the altered voices just sounded weird or "off" to the interviewers.
Exodus 21:22-23 makes it abundantly clear that killing a fetus is not at all the same as killing a person. If the fetus is accidentally killed, the person responsible has to pay a fine. But if the woman dies, the person responsible faces the death penalty.
Clearly, the lives of the fetus and the woman are viewed as very different.
(Not that I actually believe any of the crap in the Bible, but it's at least worth knowing what's in there.)
Every women [sic] has a need based in deep instinct to have children
What a piece of bullshit. I know plenty of women who have absolutely no desire for children and are really happy they don't have any. Unlike axewolf, some people do recognize that they're probably not cut out to be good parents.
what we have on this site are a bunch of totally insecure immasculated cuckholds that vehemently adhere to feminist propaganda
Well, that's better than a fucked-up misogynist with a Madonna/whore complex.

mailhost01.trumporg.com and mailhost02.trumporg.com are running Sendmail. Maybe his internal server is Exchange.

These are allegations. Of course the guy alleging them will make them as sensational as possible.
Funny how so many guys get up in arms about "SJWs" when this guy seems to be a male version of the dreaded SJW.
Ugh... important piece of...
And yeah, I'm aware this wasn't the motivation for the law, but sometimes you can accidentally get something right for the wrong reasons.

I don't know how useful it is to make vacuum tubes, but you have to admire this guy's artistry.

I just stayed silent.
Religious institutions, as a rule, do so much more efficiently than the government
Citations, please.

Something to give people pause when they complain about the power of evil multinational corporations...
This excellent documentary details the shenanigans of the sugar industry. Available in Canada and the US on Netflix; definitely recommended.
Huh, $300K/year for a high-profile startup? That's not very much.

As soon as you use machines for voting, you're screwed unless there's a human-verifiable paper trail.
I can't believe we've learned nothing about computer security. Namely, that they are not and cannot be made so.
I suspect 8 is the least popular number in PIN
Really? Really?? What makes you suspect that?
I guess you don't live anywhere where there's a large ethnic Chinese population. :)

In Saudi Arabia, witchcraft is still a crime and people are actually still prosecuted for it. Just look at this weird shit they do.
Not only is religion a mental disorder, it has the dubious distinction of being a communicable mental illness, which is something very rare indeed.

It's called not having sex.
Oh, brilliant. You get married (if you're not already) and stop having sex. See how much you like that.
I love sex. But I already have enough kids. I don't want more. So to hell with anyone who wants to tell me how to live my life.
The point is some people enjoy sex and don't want kids. It's not your place to tell them how to live their lives.
You should be off having kids. Assuming you can find a partner.
