How is that any different from European censorship? Nazism is despicable, but censoring the Nazi voice is effectively the same as preventing citizens from having those "dissident thoughts" that contradict modern western government

I don't understand the outrage about censorship particularly with respect to the Chinese government. Google has agreed to remove plenty of stuff from the search engine that many Europeans see: https://en.wikipedia.org/w

But I can't see why regulation must be necessary to maintain net neutrality; of course it's a good thing, I'm just not sure the government necessarily needs to mandate it. Documented abuses of net neutrality were few and far

I'd written a paragraph explaining why your arguments are wrong and asking you to reevaluate your viewpoint. But forget that. I'll ask you this: UC Berkeley, a school that does not consider gender in applications per California la

You keep saying the same thing, and I keep telling you why you're wrong, and for some reason you keep saying the same thing, as if somehow rewording them changes anything. I'll repeat myself for a change, since you don't seem

What I mean by that is there exist no gender barriers to take an AP exam - that fewer women are studying CS in college or working a technical role is not a result of a biased system, but of an individual decision that comes down to fewer gi

If it's a business decision to hire more females, then who are we to demand top tech companies expand their college search range? Could it not be a business decision to minimize risk? (I, for one, am in favor of getting rid of all dive

Except this isn't true; there are many cases where inequality of outcome is not a cause of inequality of opportunity - unless you're telling me the system actively encourages men to die on the job - so much so that 93% of all occu

16 in 10 silicon valley executives are white, while 7 in 10 are Asian (for every 10 engineers). So Asians are actually underrepresented at the highest level. I have no comments on the current Washington administration's personal views
