People who belong in tech don't need to be spoon fed. The barriers to entry are some of the lowest for any professional field in history.

It is quite common for Christians in the United States claim that they are oppressed [1]. Shouldn't we try to fix these problems too? http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2014/3/c…

Good, a necessary pruning from the board of people who are more interested in politics than product.

The problem with the founder's wife sounds like a very one sided account of your standard interpersonal conflict. Everyone who has ever been in one of those has at some point claim…

You might want to see a counselor about your crippling interpersonal inadequacy. I think after you clear up your mental health issues you might be less insanely fixated on shoehorn…

This shows why it is best to ignore women's complaining from the start. Github has bent over backwards for Horvath, and it only fueled and enabled her delusions. This "gender based…

Um, how CMU:SCS has a gender ratio higher than average is because they accept more women. In 2000 the acceptance rate for women was 39%, for men it was 9% [1]. This is completely b…

The amount of spoon feeding women in tech require is staggering.

That women of lose more than expected when they play against men of equivalent rating is entirely consistent with regression towards the mean [1]. Because elo ratings contain error…

Encouraging women's complaining might be the last thing they actually need. This is kind of like throwing a kegger for alcoholics.

No. No one is threatened by women, just perhaps annoyed by their endless complaining. > To use an analogy, I can't imagine Olympic athletes being happy for the best competitors fro…

No. This is wrong. The correct answer is abstract (modern) algebra.

hahah, you recall that the top science students you knew were women? How convincing! I have analyzed the records of the World Cubing Association, and there is 1 woman in the top 10…

Indeed. But I find her story substantially delusional and just another example of where someone takes the fact that someone once did something rude to them and masturbates it into …

I would submit that mind sports are the most meritocratic subculture; performance is statistically ranked and sometimes measured directly. And........ we find that there are no wom…

Well, no system could have a perfectly accurate merit assignment system... but the fact is that tech has much, much lower barriers to entry than other domains.

Interesting to note how similar they are to the real "gender pay gap", most commonly claimed to be 77% [1]. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_pay_gap_in_the_United_St...
