Fuck him.

I confess I didn’t. I was too horrified about the defacing of the table in the library. I suck at “awareness,” I guess.

I didn’t want Maria to act her humiliation, her rage. I wanted Maria to feel, not to act, the rage and humiliation.

These are kids; telling a trusted adult is not a “wasted step”, and it also allows her some accommodation from the school, so she doesn’t have to ride the same bus with him or whatnot. Give the girl a break- she did nothing wrong. No one can ever be a victim perfectly enough to meet everyone’s standards.

It plain doesn’t work. The whole market driven everything is total bullshit. Serious science always comes from either public funding or grants. Private industry invented the iPad and the hard on pill, products. That’s what they do, make stuff to sell. You want new drugs? They come from NIH, cause Pharma just wants to…

The benefits of basic scientific research accrue to everybody, whether they helped fund it or not. (Economically, this is a “positive externality”.) That means that from a profit-loss perspective for a private corporation or single individual, it is a HORRIBLE investment; it’s is GUARANTEED not to benefit the…

They’re targeting the EU too. The Neo-Neo-Nazis (alt-right by their real name) are targeting the EU for disintegration. Literally. If the EU falls apart, so does the ESA. China has no real vested interest in Climate Science outside of Chinese borders. Any efforts the Chinese make would be focused on Chinese interests.…

I’m glad that the law has finally stopped looking the other way with this bullshit.

A few years ago, maybe 2013 or 14, Secretary Hillary Clinton came to my work (not Wall Street, tech company) for a fireside chat and to promote her book. She talked at length about her experience as SOS, and one thing she discussed was how much “small offenses” matter to so many leaders and countries around the world,…

Yeah, this is not going to work.

“This is what equality looks like” - Yeah we know this is what we’ve been fighting for.

It’s so weird how (usually conservative) dudes have created an imaginary alternate universe in which 1) women are the most vocal opponents of women serving equally in the military, and 2) this is literally the last barrier to equality.

Well, what product is the company making? Is it a product that will somehow, at some point, involve marketing to consumers? Who are the end users?

Google the reasons and you’ll get the answers.

I am a female minority who graduated in one what you would call a “pedigreed” university and I work in tech.

I’m a woman and I can tell you without a doubt that my genitals have matter a fuckload more than my qualifications in any number of job and/or career situations across various industries. That’s why diversity initiatives matter. People need to be forced to look beyond their comfort zone to consider “the other” for a…

At some companies there is an effort to move women/minorities to the top of the pile. Some people think this is unfair, but you can think of it as an attempt to counteract our subconscious biases that unfairly keep us from considering women and minorities. Also, it’s unlikely someone truly unqualified would get hired.

Because as all of human history has demonstrated, we’re shit at assessing people’s skills and value according to actual merit. The dumbass nephew is always going to get hired because giving him a job and an income stream is more important that being more productive or profitable. You’re a fucking moron if you think…

Not every job in a technology company, even high paid ones are in software development. But if you walked into a tech company in the Bay Area you would need sunglasses to ward of the whiteness.
