I’m glad she won. Even as a woman I was surprised and skeptical of amount of the $185 million verdict. After reading their brazen blatant sexism...they had it coming. Being significantly hurt in the wallet is a consequence they will respect.

Jesus. I am not having the college admission debate with you. Feel free to go pound sand into rocks.

Don’t believe everything you read. Only certain types of stories make it out of China, or any foreign country for that matter, because journalists 1. are people and have their preconceived notions and areas of ignorance too; and 2. know what sells papers or clicks (typically, stories that cater to your preconceived…

In most countries you’d need authorization to do something so large scale. With so many people, you could easily hinder traffic (which can be dangerous, if firetrucks need to get somewhere), which is why the authorities must know about it in advance so they can organize traffic rerouting and/or security for the people…

Don’t knock it until you try it. I spent three weeks in Beijing and loved every minute of it. Will go back in the fall.

I am in STEM, and I “whine” all the time about the percentages. Twitter is in the (figurative) middle of the racist, sexist, and classist Silicon Valley bubble. It’s lack of black engineers is a symptom of the pipeline problem, glorification of shitty corporate cultures, and a young white dude fetish in this industry.…

Your approach to ad hominem diminution is also delightfully juvenile.

My favorite is the “ARE YOU IN STEM, I’M IN STEM” and then they get their ass handed to them by math.

I love when someone’s ass gets handed to them and they’re too dumb to realize it.

Well, 13.2 percent would be the demographic suggestion, but your number sounds great. Either is optimistic for the percentage of engineers, unfortunately. But even more unfortunately, Twitter is stupidly low even compared to the already shitty numbers for the engineering field.

lololololololol

Math.

Even if every single employee of Twitter was an engineer, more than three times that many of them should be black. And nowhere near every single employee of Twitter is an engineer.

Yes, I am, so I’ll keep bitching, thanks.

Ugh I was hating the day enough already. Damn it.

The main difference for me is the deal with accountability, in my experience at least Uber drivers status as non-employee independent contractors has managed to exempt them from contract company standards. When I got harassed by a cabbie I was able to file a complaint with the parent company and know that it had an…

if you can use lyft as an alternative, do it
