1. America is the melting pot of the world, no pushing is required. Hiring based on ability; regardless of color, religion, etc., is required.
2. Trump is pushing against white supremacy:

No not really, this is about the DC riots on Inauguration Day which violated DC peace keeping laws, probably because it's the capitol of America, I'm thinking but read for yourself:

The rioters broke DC law. Nothing scary, nothing shocking, it's a click bait title and nothing more.

TL; DR Woman startup CEO fires women, hires men who work for peanuts because men love coding and thus are higher "energy"; takes advantage of recent controversy to get free advertising on HN. Side note, said woman lacks professionalism and uses profanity in an appeal to the peanuts working, 20twenties'ish men reading the article.

"The blockchain is an undeniably ingenious invention – the brainchild of a person or group of people known by the pseudonym, Satoshi Nakamoto."
It isn't even definitively known who invented blockchain, it is behind the pyramid scheme known as bitcoin and no, no way should that ever be used in voting system computers.

I love your analogy! Then there's the Howard Wolowitz's of the world who try to throw a pitch at a ball game using the Mars Rover. Not quite an applied technical person and not quite a pure theorist like Sheldon.

You can think what you want. The people who downvoted me for simply asking why the parent was downvoted can think what they want. The mods can think what they want. It doesn't justify anyone for downvoting the parent's comment which was his view or mine for calling out the unjustified downvoting. This is where the mods should step in, find out who was downvoting both the parent and me; and remove their ability to downvote for a time.

It looks like this is Ring UI. It looks like that is React. It also looks like it only runs on NodeJS. So this could be good news if you're willing to use JavaScript (NodeJS) as the server and use or switch to React style, JavaScript dedicated, back-end work. Is this something the Enterprise is willing to do?

That's a paradox since a genetically improved species would abhor violence. They would have no ability to take over the world. They would become subservient like the Eloi in The Time Machine.
