It wasn't Google that harassed her, but one of of Google's employees.

What kind of comparison do "they" have, though? And is it more than a couple of anecdotes amplified by the popularity of the medium they were posted on? Also consider we are on a tech site, so we are more likely to consume tech me

So after your startup experience, somebody will shell out the big bucks to pay for your experience and professional growth? Or is it just that you can write more deep sounding blog articles in the future?

Just like in real life. How could it be different?

I think it's probably more efficient to be mysterious and let the woman's imagination do the rest. Maybe you have written too much on your profile?

At least 5 downvotes, but no answers. At least list some frivolous startups.

Is that really the case? I think some citation would be nice. For example the refugees in Europe often have a smartphone among the very few things they take along on their journey, simply because is is essential to their survival. I mean th

A couple of years ago I visited a castle in Slovakia. The boss of the castle had all sorts of amenities (the museum told), such as people who washed their clothes, food that would appear magically, heated rooms. That required a whole castle

I can't even think of so many frivolous examples, off the top of my head. Most technology would also benefit the "underclass"? Maybe Tinder helps veterans and single moms to get together and have sex. Uber facilitates the dat

Why does she yell at you??

It's just annoying if a wrong argument keeps cropping up.

Except that you are not - if I talk with somebody for real, at least I know somebody listened to what I say (OK, or at least pretended to listen). Seems as if I could go through the effort to snap something and it would disappear before any

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose_malabsorption I know there are dairy products without lactose, but then the nutrition guidelines should at least mention the issue.

Absolutely, just because population A does well on some diet doesn't imply everybody does. Actually that is for me often a good heuristic to discard most nutrition advice right away. A lot of recommendations I see include lots of diary

I think he makes valid points, as far as can be inferred from the first articles that probably only quotes things out of context. If you don't see that women and men are treated in different ways then you have massive political correct

At least I think nobody advises to increase intake of sugar? Maybe just reducing sugar gets you 99% of the way... The thing about humans is, they manage to live in all sorts of environments. I think the Inuit have no access to vegetables at

If the evilness of Google consists of creating self-driving, low impact cars just so that people can read ads while driving, I'd say more of that evilness! Also, for all of Google's evilness, it seems to me they never forced peopl

It seems like pure speculation on the part of the author of the article. Maybe these words basically write themselves in any article containing the words "women" and "jobs".

Also, when we bought a car a few years ago there were some standard colors that cost nothing, and several "premium colors" that cost a lot more. So the concept of letting customers pay for special colors is not new (I already ment

WTF? They are simply about getting women into nightclubs.

One more reason to encourage women to learn maths. If they don't care enough to compare prices, they just have to pay more. Incidentally, this could also explain why there is a women's aisle to begin with: women seem to be willing

Well you pay extra so that you can signal "I am a girl" (more specifically - a princess girl. Wouldn't you expect a princess to get more expensive things?). Like the black MacBook that cost 100$ more just because of the color

If that is the study I remember, I don't think it shows women are deemed less capable. It might as well be possible that women are deemed less likely to follow through with their studies (for example because they might drop out to have

Thank you for the statistics. My point, though, that a gender index should not just look at girls, still stands. "Male" is also a gender.

I find it a bit funny that they call it a "gender index", but it really just cares about discrimination against women. Way to go... Are girls equally likely as men to be recruited as child soldiers? Presumably their statistics won
