Sorry, can you just delete my account or ban it or whatever? I'm too tired.

No, it's not. Damore is (objectively) an asshole and doesn't earn any discussion. Choose any one of the (fairly unoriginal) points he was trying to make and talk about that.

Right but it's a such a lightning rod that it instantly derails any reasonable discussion. It's basically the Godwin's law of conversations about sex, gender, and political bias.

Sure, you can also find people who believe the Earth is flat... but the point is that they're not the majority. Not many people would argue that testosterone causes men to have inc…

Protest isn't censorship

This is pseudo-academic posturing nonsense. The issue people take is attributing value to the differences between sexes, not the biological differences in themselves.

Oh look, someone meta complaining about gender studies who actually doesn't have anything of value to contribute. This never happens and is always productive.

You're doing yourself a disservice by mentioning Damore at all. His manifesto may have had some points, but was also rife with utter bullshit, false equivalence, value judgements, …

Yes and no, visitor badges often don't use RFID. You can get most places if you have a visitor badge and know someone's name (which are all available on LinkedIn). If you get stopp…

Not much of a story, I was being a fool and trying to go places I wasn't allowed and someone happened to be paying attention. Fortunately my friend working in security told them it…

Fair take. The US could penalize/limit/tariff those outside megacorps like China does though, right? I'm not sure trade should be completely free when an outside competitor can ski…

>it gives at the very least a security clearance level. At the very least. I could reproduce a close-enough badge that would likely fool everyone except the person who designed the…

Which makes at least a little sense. Instagram makes it fairly difficult to share/reshare garbage (though it's gotten a bit worse lately) and encourages people to create their own …

It's suspected that male pattern hair loss is a combination of genetics and testosterone. Melatonin will not impact your DNA or testosterone levels.

She's an outspoken supporter of Net Neutrality, which is definitely a stick in the eye for both Comcast and Verizon. Is there a candidate that has done more than Warren in this reg…

foo bar

I care, but I choose when to care... and when I do it's pretty high end. Some people go out to eat every week, I go maybe every other month... but when I do I make sure it's worth …

You can go in the opposite direction and get frozen meals that cost ~$5 a piece. I eat a lot of pre-prepared tofu, dumplings (refrigerated, not frozen), fried tofu, meatless meatba…

Sugar from fruit is a world of difference from sugar in processed foods.

Maybe rethink that acronym. I figured people would take a couple minutes to educate themselves about the candidates, but I forgot that I wasn't in my home country.

Alright slow down there, chief. I'm making a comment on the internet, I'm not trying to sell your firstborn or something. I said that the US _lucked out_ in that China didn't indus…

>We need US companies to win global markets why

Spoiler alert: They probably won't be either way. Our population is too small by comparison, we just lucked out in that it took China/India longer to industrialize.
