Well if you "think" all lives matter at Facebook... In our current hyper sensitive culture there's a lot of expectations that people think a certain way.

Or privatize it so there's profit/loss.

Gotta start at the source.

Let's be honest, that consultant has never pushed a line of code in their life. You're probably committing and pushing at acceptable times. Screw the consultant.

> No gap in pay for the same position. That's the point here and it's worth reiterating when feminists consistently say they're paid 7X cents on the dollar.

You're saying something nobody wants to hear.

Exactly. I can't tell you the number of positions I've interviewed for with very challenging questions when their entire app is a basic CRUD app. Many views, basic CRUD. Everyone thinks they need the best.

The sample problems are...well let's just say if every dev I work with had to solve those problems on the spot right now, there'd be no developers in the office tomorrow. And guess what? We still push code. Our application is stil

Check my other reply. Not a literal silence but a pressure from the masses to self censor a bit more if your opinions aren't always PC.

Okay everyone took this a bit too literally. Obviously I don't mean he was literally silenced. But I would bet he's self-censoring a bit more: "I now withdraw from all future discussions of Indian economics and politics, and

Like @zo1 said, we don't really know the real landscape either. Just think of how little it takes to silence someone like Marc Andreessen. Now think of all the commentary people in tech don't say, especially on social issues, beca

And if you point this out you're a misogynist.

On a throwaway account here. I'm currently teaching myself to draw using that book and I think the author is really onto something. My first experience with psilocybin is also something that led me down a similar line of thinking. When

I like the way it makes me feel. It's a great way to relax at night after dinner. It also makes me more creative. I come up with cool projects or approach a problem from a different perspective.

I did.

No, because you're treating each sex differently based on their sex.

> Yes, I for one would have kept looking at the demo if it was Brad Pitt. That makes you the sexist in this instance.

All you did was bring up personal memories and talk about how you think weapons equates to danger.

Is there any right to self-defense in the UK?

by mycroft-holmes 11y ago
I'd say you're absolutely correct. I laugh when I see feminist friends of mine who complain about "creepy" guys approaching them at coffee shops and days later they'll talk about how they hate being single and want

You seem to be fishing for science that supports little difference between genders when there is plenty to say otherwise.

> Both genders have strengths and weaknesses due to their biological and genetic differences, so it's only natural for one side to dominate certain fields. This is exactly why it's so hard to have a conversation about this issu

I'm commenting on specifics within the posted article. This is very common behavior on HN.

by mycroft-holmes 11y ago
Seriously? Do you have any sources for this?

by mycroft-holmes 11y ago
Unfortunately, that's not what you hear/read/see when you follow any gender activist in tech.
