It pisses me off that Amazon doesn't support chromecast, but is it really their responsibility just because google wants them to implement their feature that they do?
I understand the marginal utility argument. That argument assumes there is any moral right to steal from one person and give to another in the first place. I disagree there is. This is an analogy NOT a comparison... but its like saying its ok take the heart of an old person to give to a child because they would get more use out of it. Yes, that's true, but its a non starter due to the deprivation of the rights of the old person.
No amount of feedback can turn a lemon. Also, its not the role of corporations to play makework and pretend they are contributing. So someone gets fired and takes a job more befitting of their abilities... that's not welfare that's just life.
Yeah and its a complete pain in the ass. It's funny these people can't do their jobs but they are masters of using HR departments to shield them from their own incompetence.
How many men take offense to hiring quotas but keep their mouths shut so they don't end up like Damore? You just set up an environment where how someone feels is more important than logic/reason/truth and that is never a good position to be in.
Every day the "pro-diversity" (in the sense of preferentially hiring practices) don't abstain... they tell you a viewpoint and force you to adopt it even when you disagree. The fact people keep their mouth shuts shouldn't be a surprise. That doesn't make the pro crowd any less controversial. It's just they don't get fired for their controversial opinions.
Are we really at the point in society if someone asks a coworker out on a date its sexual harassment? I imagine the answer to that is whether she said yes or not. Rule #1 ... be attractive.
The irony of choosing Dubai because of America's supposed intolerance.. hope you don't want not only women, gays, non-married couples, or all the other BS a muslim state enforces.
By that logic, women can never know if there is sexism because they don't have all that mythical privilege to compare it to. I'd love to see one time ... one time.. there be a focus on the disparity between men and women in waste services, janitorial services, etc. We accept they don't prefer those jobs but suddenly in tech (since it became sexy) its now a problem?
> waged a legal campaign against the voting rights act, drafted various pieces of legislation aimed at disenfranchising minorities and college students
Showing your ID isn't waging a war against voting rights, its straight up common sense like we have to do for every other thing in society. Many people find it surprising around the world that we don't check IDs.
You say this like the left doesn't have its own in the NYT, CNN, ABC, NBC, Huff, Salon, etc... that's much more of an bubbled echo chamber. At least on the right they get bombarded with MSM daily... they just know its straight up corrupt.
"my heart sank a little, knowing that comments like this would soon follow."
Is your heart saddened by the disproportionate women vs men in college? Is your heart saddened that men die disproprionately in physical labor jobs? Are you saddened by the fact double standards are actually being called for what they are? Didn't think so.
Why are you trying to shut down debate? It's a good point. I want my tax dollars to be maximized and not used to somehow enforce your idea of racial justice.
Sometimes I think programmers and theologians have a lot in common. Both have dogmas and articles of faith which are backed by internally consistent logic. Now to the comments to hear the Catholics and Protestants debate!
