- tareqak 8y agoI'm going to start checking both title and URI using https://hn.algolia.com/ https://hn.algolia.com/ (I was just checking the URI). It still probably won't catch everything though. Thanks for bringing this to my attention `masonic.

- ramblerman 8y agoNot sure what's better. The google response was a bit spineless. 'whoops' we got caught, guess we will have to cave. Most of their gender-scandal responses have been similarly reactive (see James DeMore). I'm not sure I agree with Nadella's reasoning, but it's nice to have a predictable vision.
- mips_avatar 8y agoI think there needs to be a delicate discussion about who gets to have an opinion on these things. How much can an employee expect their companies to listen to their opinion? Who should be listened to? Should everyone get a vote? What if some of the objecting employees are from a country that is an adversary of the US, does that bar them from having an opinion on military contracts?
