Missing the chart for poor highschool dropouts. Otherwise it is unclear if the lesson is just that highschool doesn't matter.

Even with many Linux distibutions you can't run the latest version on older Computers anymore. But at least you can probably find a special Linux for older hardware.

That is the same with all computer platforms, though. I think it is OK if companies have a limited time of support for their OS, but you can debate how long it should be. With Android, it is also the responsibility of the phone manufacturer

Could you link to a statistic showing women get hired less? How do you know they are not simply applying less?

That's the point - there is this meme going around that supposedly women lost interest in computing because of advertising in the 80ies. Never mind that the whole field of computing changed with the advent of home computers and PCs.

Right - because if they are women, they have to be secretaries, whereas the men are technicians? What about the teen girls that are also shown in the catalogue - training to be secretaries at an early age?

Note that it shows a lot of women using the computer. So much for "advertising drove women away".

I think in general self driving cars shouldn't be required to kill their own passengers. Otherwise, people will be unlikely to want to drive them. Or maybe, at least, like a human driver, they should be able to enter their own preferen

Just because you have some insurance your state isn't a socialist state. Socialism would actually mean poverty for everyone. I think even in the US people pay taxes and the government buys things from that which are supposed to help ev

It's expensive, so you have to give reasons or spending the money. The money was spent because beating the Russians was deemed worth it. I guess it won't necessarily be spent for a handwavy "but it is progress", needs mo

You were told the moon landing was about human progress and exploring frontiers. In reality it was just about beating the Russians in the cold war. Sorry.

Where does the assumption come from that every company should be a perfect "fit" for every possible employee? Is that even possible? If that utopian goal would be reached, I guess we could eliminate job interviews - all candidates

Any indication that women are more put off by beer than men? At the last startup I have seen, the women were much more predatory than the men during beer nights. Not that I like beer nights, but I dislike one sided blaming. Besides, if peop

Apart from the depression other people mention, how do you do with problems on sites like HackerRank? Personally I can not take coding problems in interviews that seriously. Surely, it seems to me, the point is showing off your thought proc
