I can't speak for "dear fucking g-d" but my it would appear that your position is distinct from that of the mainstream critical theory/intersectionality social justice crowd.

That's nice because you reduced it to actual authoritative power. I can respect that. But that's not how it's playing out in the culture.

In my not so humble opinion, it's illiberal and destructive in its current form. For example, a white Appalachian coal miner and a black Ivy League professor have a power disparity based on income, education, and social class. But the

The Advice Memo clearly implies skepticism at Damore's intent and the sources own which he relied. It sets the precedent for successful EEO claims against any venue where the content contravenes similar social justice based codes of co

Yeah I skimmed the comments and just read many of your replies. Thanks very useful. Guess I'll have to read it.

That would be a narrow and incomplete reading of Damore's memo based on prejudice. Damore's description that on average men and women are different is not itself discriminatory or harmful since it's backed up by quite a lot o

I was convinced that I had ADHD by the time I was 21 after a lot of struggling in high school and college. I went to a psychiatrist and he asked me the basic DSM IV questions and he said it was a 90% match. So he put me on Ritalin and the

Rather than throttle, Apple has done something similar since the A10/A11 processors with their additional low-power cores. Presumably this should reduce the short-term wear on the battery and extend the life of the cells.

This is mostly correct. For cable/satellite/OTT, most of the package (Viacom, Time Warner, NBCUniversal, etc) content providers bundle content and get a large lump sum up-front per annum from each distributor. However, premium

That's true - but the Canadian Dept of Justice indicated (and then removed the link from their website) that they would enforce it in accordance with the Ontario Human Rights Code. Go read it: http://www.ohrc.on.ca/en

I'm a tad skeptical of the electrons vs bits (packets) analogy. Electrons are commoditized and generic - and they don't suffer from prioritization issues except during brown-outs/black-outs. When you receive a stream of bits
