That's true for anything that exists in the real world. Essentially you are suggesting that reproducing something empirically is flawed because empiricism is flawed. No?

The fuseproject has existed for a while, where a lot of the skills come from. They aren't building a company from scratch... just a product.

I'd be cautious of using a 'Glass Cellar' as an excuse not to act on gender inequality.

I'm not sure what point you are driving to. I was referring world wide, not just U.S. I suspect, yes, in some countries asian's are ostracised from upper management.

The low numbers of women in I.T with CS majors, is indicative of this. Are you just trying to enforce a burden of proof here? Or do you seriously not think that woman are ostracised in I.T?

> Tech is supposed to be meritocracy. You can't have a proper meritocracy if the prospective field don't have access to the same level of opportunities. Women get ostracised from I.T. fairly early on (i.e before education has finished)

I don't know anything about the nursing industry. But I would comment, that increased diversity (whether it is gender/race/age/etc) always yields benefits as you have a more diverse range of viewpoints to draw from. So it is always a probl

Empowerment isn't just for socio-economic reasons... It's for all equality based issues. > According to them its the culture and insensitivity towards women thats causing skewed gender ratios. There are a multitude of problems, and they

But that's just a transitional thing. Once you build a bigger more vibrant culture of women in IT, the artificial bias can be removed.

I disagree. I don't see it as 'tokenism' or 'charity'. We are solving a big problem (gender-inequality).

That meant they disappeared when there was nothing to scroll (correct?)... not disappear when not scrolling.

Because sheer stupidity never comes out of the private sector? Sweeping statements don't generally help in discussions.

Like crossing a road? Or driving? That argument is fairly weak.

dr42, I'd say you are the one not responding in the spirit of HN. Just calm down, someone tried to help, and you didn't find it helpful, no need to go all flamewar on them. Relax.

They made their point quite well, you realise you only quoted the last 3 words? Conveying emotional reaction to what is said, is useful as well. Clearly the GP found it offensive. It's not a logical fallacy... > That isn't the kind of

So the issue is iTunes, not the green button? And admittedly itunes behaviour is very well known, it's hardly surprising.

I wonder if there is a way, to gather this info separately from the government and publish results? Or at least publish an accuracy of the public numbers... Could be an interesting space.

Could you elaborate? How does it end up there? And what does the poisoning?

The relationship between science and the church is a lot more complicated than you have illustrated. It is far from an 'obvious' position.

Straw-man. Guy made statements, interpreted as untrue about the church, and is asked to apologise for that.

But general global import/export shenanigans is exactly the point. Everyone does this. It's a big mess of politics. You could highlight any country you like, and you'll find corporations/government doing shady business. Consistently high

There are whole paragraphs from that article that basically says Chinese lie, cheat, and steal to get technology. But without any evidence, E.G: "The prototype J-20 Chinese stealth fighter unveiled last year, for example, appears to be bas

I don't know, I'd much prefer the lies to be obvious "Beijing isn't polluted" than "No, that Apache isn't gunning down civilians". (Hmm, I realise, that is possibly inciting a whole other discussion). That aside, I still reckon, that artic

I don't think I missed your point. I suspect the CIA do a multitude of things, encompassing what we've both said. I was simply illustrating that just because you haven't heard about it. Doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Do you think the export ban was in good faith?

But there are not many nations that operate in a "honest about everything" way. I mean wikileaks highlighted a whole lot of stuff about the U.S. that was very far from 'honest about everything'. Are we holding China to a higher bar than th

> I've never heard of the US trying to steal technology at a national level - it wouldn't even occur to them. What exactly is the CIA then? I'm pretty sure it occurs to them. Just because a) they aren't caught or b) it isn't reported.
