I can't take anything seriously from a person, who says > "Now, don’t get me wrong here: I am one hundred percent aware that history regularly erases the contributions of women, and especially women of colour"

And I guess the medias head exploded when everyone clapped at the RNC when he said "I'm proud to be gay, a republican and an American". Didn't you know republicans hate everything that moves, especially gays, womyn and A

I don't understand the medias obsession with Thiel since Trumps election. He's a republican. K He's gay. K He's critical of the Silicon Valley echo chamber. K He's a great businessman. K There's not really a gr

so in STEM it's only sexism and not the fact that there are less women/ less women with interest? Where's sexism in medicine, sociology, biology?

This phenomenon isn't entirely new. Some man have seen it as "Scandinavian gender paradox". Still, why are we surprised? We know instinctively, that there will never web 50/50 in some fields, because man/women just

what do you want then? Everyone is supposed to have the same opinion?

:D These diversity preachers are just a bunch pathetic weasels who haven't learned to work with/accept people with differing opinions

How can you advocate for someone leaving Silicon Valley based on his "philosophical jibberish", and at the same time promote diversity? "Diversity" increasingly means nothing. SV is one hell of a political echo chamber.

Putting the privacy aspect aside, this is gonna be hilarious with people "abusing" Alexa for jokes etc. As far as I now, Alexa can't be restricted to the voice of a single/some people.

It's funny that you mention parody. I recently came across this guy, who says he can't parody feminism anymore, because they've gone completely mad https://medusamagazine.com/i-created-medusa-magazine-and-i-a.

Multiple problems with your argumentation: 1. women and minorities are underrepresented. True. That does not imply there is sexism. In reality, women have a 2:1 chance over men to get hired, just because everyone is desperate to hire women.

"Tons of great people, and, disproportionately, women and minorities, can perform less well at technical interviews but be great in role." You lost all your credibility with one sentence. Congratulations.

I don't care if he was right or wrong, or objective. And I don't claim to have sufficient knowledge about the topic to disprove/approve his points. I care about the right to discuss things without the fear of being smeared. D

I'm honestly not in the position to judge whether his sources were correct or not. If you read the memo and listen to him (e.g. on the Rubin Report) however you realise he doesn't want to hurt anybody, not even close. He is an ext

These cowards don't link to the original: https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3914586/Googles-I... Instead, they link to the heavily edited Gizmodo hit piece, that has the sources removed. Dishonest

Me, too. Just so ironic how the responses of Silicon Valley/Media proved his point exactly.
