   I'm confused. Are you saying that a company should not hire a Republicans because some Republicans are anti-gay? The OP called Republicans "backward ass belie[vers]" for not supporting gay marriage. I responded by saying that

   Well I think you've just proved my point. Not all Republicans are against gay marriage. In fact around 40% support gay marriage: http://www.pewforum.org/fact-sheet/changing-attitudes-on-gay... And I think using &q

   Well shucks I'm not sure, I clicked on this article hoping to get some insight on that exact question. But my hypothesis would be social services and hospitality because both those industries have a high percentage of women advancing f

    Personally, I think this article title is clickbait. Nowhere does the author show that it's the best industry for women, only that in her experience, it was a better industry than medicine and a biology lab. And then some fluff abou

    Here's a real life example. It's like Credit Karma who prepares your tax return for free, but then uses the info to help target you for ads on credit cards, loans, etc. [this is exactly happening]

    I'm also getting frustrated from Gitlab. My company has been on gitlab EE for over a year, and while they have pushed out features quite quickly, their UX is still way behind github. I think they don't have a laser focus on the us
