That is a statement of fact.

Can you explain why you think they experienced "legal exploitation of vulnerable population'? Ie it's not something that's intuitive to me and I'd like to know more.

Just for those too young who might not get the reference - I believe the company name is a riff on http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077369/ . I think I watched it in the USSR in late 80s - we all thought that's wh

"exclusively trading in stereotypes and Western orientialist imagery and tropes" To be fair, they could also be simply trading on whatever happens to be in the news. If you open a newspaper / watch the news, most of what you

Ok - you think so, I don't. So we can agree to have a difference of opinion. However - on my side is every single real-life example of success in tech. EVERY SINGLE successful technology company was NOT diverse (and only once they ge

I imagine that to someone of your political persuasion, this is self evident. But humor someone who doesn't share your views and actually demonstrate (empirically for example) that you are right. I personally don't care whether th

I don't get something. There seems to always has been a problem of diversity in tech. Yet US has done just ok with males (white and asian) doing this stuff. Ie better than anybody else in the world. Why is this a problem (something the

1. The only thing that controversy showed is that Mainstream Media is bending over backward to accommodate black race baiters. If you read the report that explains in great detail what happened (as opposed to just saying 'well, there&#

But if someone works relatively long hours they may not see their kids much regardless. For example if someone works on Wall St - they may have to leave the house at 6am and be home at 8pm. That doesn't leave a lot of time to see young

1. I'm not sure why you bring up Ferguson when the guy was clearly in the wrong. Ie he got killed because he fought the cop for his gun (which went off inside the car) and then charged at him. Ie someone who jumps out a 10th story wind

I'm not sure if you missed these two points: "From 1976 to 2005, blacks committed more than 52% of all murders in America." and "The advocates acknowledge such crime data only indirectly: by charging bias on the part of

I'd like to call out your casual mentioning of someone's race being responsible for them going to jail. That's not really what happens - rather that someone breaks the law and goes to jail. I'm not aware of law-abiding m

1. Unions are not free market. They goal is to create a monopoly (hence have greater bargaining power).

The article seems to be mostly about decision making instead of buttressing the claim that diesel cost lives vis-a-vis petrol. It kinda just waves the allegation around without showing any work. For all I know, diesel is significantly more

That's the crux of the matter. Most people unhappy about the 'pay gap' are indeed implying that employers are paying double (or 21% more) wage for a y chromosome. If the wage gap rather has to do with decisions employees make

For the purposes of the argument you failed to back up your position.

I don't think so. I think it simply performs a spellcheck vs existing database of terms and offers a likely correction. Ie when you put in a word 'Mroscow' it sees that this term has 500 results while a similar term 'Mos

How do you train a search engine on books? How do you generate relevance metrics (like # of links on the web)?

You still haven't demonstrated why they are not 'improving the world'. They may not be doing it to the extent of your liking, but they are certainly are improving it (if only for the people who choose to use their service).

Thank you. Regarding motorsports - I thought there was one woman who competed in US motorsport division (NASCAR) but didn't make it far? Are there any women who win at F1 or whatever?

1. I fail to see women outperforming men on this test. I see them passing the tests - same as men 2. Even if we assume that they outperformed men on the tests, it does not qualify as 'outperforming men in a physical activity'.

We disagree on the following issue. You consider that someone can be trained strong 'enough'. Even if that is true (which you have no basis to claim - but we can move on), the point you are missing is that this is a competition

I guess that sounds like justification to send women in space rather than put them in close form combat

Can you name one physical activity in which females can compete with males? Are there any gender neutral pro sports leagues?

All-male squads, teams and crews and gender-integrated squads, teams, and crews had a noticeable difference in their performance of the basic combat tasks of negotiating obstacles and evacuating casualties. For example, when negotiating the
