>she was tweeting sexual innuendos while at the conference besides the point. It's not about the sexual innuendo, it's about the context of the sexual innuendo. Clearly she is not …

well, android

Can I ask you why you see DDG as the perfect alternative to google? One would think that if you are concerned with the sort of things google is doing, you would bank on an open sou…

hahaha ok I suppose you are against affirmative action too.

hindsight is 20/20, eh?

>If the significance is because they are part of a whole, then they need to be addressed in that context. How are you ever going to get any accountability if you don't address them…

That's not the point. The point is we shouldn't brush off these individual incidents as insignificant because they are part of a whole. The problem is not going to get solved if yo…

I don't think the person who got fired should have been fired. I don't think she should have been fired. I don't think such an internet shitstorm would have been necessary, but her…

Society treats people differently depending on who they are. Men have certain privileges not afforded to women. If examining situations in a social context, this cannot be ignored.…

That's the thing though - People always think that calling out microaggressions is overreaction, because they look at an individual incident, and not the whole. At the same time it…

The part of the code of conduct you are referring to was added AFTER this whole thing happened. So you don't think it was a serious thing. I disagree. It's brushing off these thing…

Again, context matters. When a man makes a sexual joke and a woman makes a sexual joke, it's not the same thing because there are different implications to it. Women are often sexu…

I don't think she had any obligation to raise the issue quietly. Making things public works. Unless people start calling out this kind of behaviour in a public manner, there will b…

The idea of a microaggression is that it's many small things you are exposed to consistently, and a lot. The kind of things people will say "lighten up, it's just a joke" to, becau…

Yes, it is such a fucking inconvenience not making juvenile and unprofessional jokes at a conference where you are supposed to represent your employer.

Why? She reported the microaggression to the relevant organizers through a public channel. I don't see the problem?

Bullshit. It's not about whether ALL women are uncomfortable. Of course not all women are uncomfortable. So should we only frown upon behaviours that make every single member of a …

>Who's the sexist again? most of the time, the person asking that sort of question Nice misrepresentation of what I said, by the way. It's not about the joke, it's about what's beh…

I also don't think Adria overreacted. It was a microaggression. Jokes like that foster the uncomfortable boys club environment that is so inherent to tech. Were the jokes explicitl…

I think we germans are doing alright actually

The thing is that not all streets are created equal. On particularly dangerous corners there will be lights, and cars can come around the corner going maybe a bit too fast to stop,…

I use flot on one of my sites. It's nice, I only have positive things to say about it. Especially if you are still using something like openflashchart I recommend taking the time t…

just a note, but you can do that in linux and afaik windows as well

Weird. I've lived in Hamburg all my life and I've yet to see anybody be scorned for jaywalking. The same basically goes for family models, I've been to more homes where everyone ju…

my prediction about you: You have only ever been to south germany
