What astonishes me is that Google's VP of Diversity knows so little about the underlying science of her vocation that she confused statements of clinical fact (with the science even referenced in footnotes!) with personal attacks on wo

I'm glad you feel uncomfortable being called racist and sexist given that you are saying things that are racist and sexist. Maybe one day the cognitive dissonance will prompt some introspection. On a totally separate note, thanks for a

There is no question that Google has discriminatory hiring practices. The only question is whether you think discrimination is a good thing. Apparently you do.

No. He says that genetically-influenced behavioral traits which are observable in aggregate across genders may lead women/men to respond differently to different work environments. Then he suggests a few ways Google can promote diversi

He's criticizing discrimination on the basis of race (and gender), not advocating it.

There is strong scientific evidence of at least a partial genetic/prenatal basis for homosexual expression. If this were a discussion on that topic, the writer would be pointing this out and criticizing discriminatory policies that adv

Thank you for your (abhorrent) attempt at belittling someone who is trying to educate you about what is actually mainstream science: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877042812... https:&#x2

What you just wrote is the equivalent of a climate change denier writing: "The major weakness of the paper isn't that there are studies suggesting climate change exists, but it doesn't convincingly argue why these difference

The author of the paper is well-read, and the people criticizing his science understand neither the underlying science, nor what it implies for the problems they profess to care about.

Wikileaks is extremely pro-American, at least if your definition of American is civil liberties and not CIA.

Read the NYT piece again: it cites evidence the trade deficit is a major problem. Of course, since accepting this means admitting that Trump is correct on trade, the authors immediately write-off the evidence by insisting that these jobs wo

In a vibrant economy, jobs move to where there are workers. That is the reason so many factories were built out of the major cities in the first place. Trump is right to identify insufficient aggregate demand as the cause of unemployment in

If a bug was discovered in bitcoin that robbed 80% of its users in some unexpected fashion, the network would probably hard fork too. All ETH did was basically a 51% attack by stakeholders in the network. One lesson is not to trust ANY cont

This is hilarious. Bill Clinton's right-hand man accuses Chelsea of misappropriating Clinton Foundation resources to pressure her into stopping her investigation into the way he handled Foundation finances and you think his accusation
