What I heard is that residents started evacuation by themselves a couple days in advance.

Re:Ask a Female Engineer: Thoughts on the Google Memo on Tuesday August 15, 2017 @04:11PM (#15021916)
When they say they feel they are hurt / offended, do they know this is a typical easy thing for women to do in the society, not men?

I don't know, maybe everything is sexist. Maybe we should expect a society where men and women cry equally.

Just checked, by a little bit of googling, I did find it in a gov document.
Our university forces us to change the password every 150 days. It is such a pain in the s, because there are too many apps on too many devices need to update the password. I asked the IT department, can you guys consider to stop this and find an alternative security policy? The answer is no, because this security policy is in the state law.
Not firing this person would have been accused a Title VII violation and opened them to lawsuits.

Why not? Aren't those people also creating hostile environment for minorities?

Will Google also fire employees who 1) publicly support him in internal discussion, or 2) privately support him?

Based on the reasoning of Google's excutives, I don't see why they would not do 1 or 2.

So you lack basic reading skills. I quote "not to get the opportunity at all due to systemic discrimination in hiring", you read "systemic discrimination in hiring". Apparently, you lost "not to get the opportunity at all" and "due to". Don't you see that?
Re:Google Fires Employee Behind Controversial Diversity Memo on Tuesday August 08, 2017 @12:02AM (#14954111)
"not to get the opportunity at all due to systemic discrimination in hiring" - this is not reality but only your imagination.
You only said "probably not", so you are also implying it is probably true. Why didn't you just say "absolutely not"?
It's funny, if you really believe yourself, how could you ask the final question? How can a minimum wage increase in one rich neighborhood be compared to a poor neighborhood? How about different industry? How about different businesses? The assumption of your question is a deep believe of central planning and numeric abstraction of the society, which is an ideology. So stop pretending you are free of ideology.
Sample size?

What if they ban Digital Ocean etc.? I won't even be able to setup the VPN, right?

Will this work for me in China when the Chinese ISPs ban VPN in the next year?
Re:Why Single-Payer Health Care Saves Money on Tuesday July 11, 2017 @03:55PM (#14747449)
In that case, why would the person choose to do skateboarding? Also, does the individual has any family / friend / church support? If you have no family, no friend, not involved in any community, why do you risk yourself for fun? Because "the society" have to pay for your stupidity?
Re:Why Single-Payer Health Care Saves Money on Tuesday July 11, 2017 @03:52PM (#14747424)
"2) if you can't pay, you die in the gutter."

No. It is simply false. Even a 100% free market does not exclude charity.

No. When I said "serious problem" I meant the patient. Yes, people need to pay bills, but it is not your employer's responsibility.

Is it possible to find a less demanding (also less payment) job? Would this help?
Re:Mental health is still an issue in the workplace on Thursday July 06, 2017 @01:47PM (#14712285)
But how about "It's 2017 and 1+1 is still 2?"?
Re:Mental health is still an issue in the workplace on Thursday July 06, 2017 @01:46PM (#14712279)
Shouldn't vacation days be used to help your mental health? If vacation days are not enough, there might be a more serious problem ...

You want me to tell you what is western culture ?
Re:America’s Future Is Texas on Tuesday July 04, 2017 @09:09PM (#14699358)
Are you trying to tell me "western culture" or "western civilization" is a fake concept? If you don't see Ireland and Italian belongs to one group, and Mexico belongs to another, I don't see how we can communicate. Our worldview is just too different.
Re:America’s Future Is Texas on Tuesday July 04, 2017 @06:30PM (#14698742)
When I said "replacing", I meant the proportion, i.e. majority/ minority change, as the article suggested.

I think you understated the similarities between Americans and Irishs / Italians, and understated the differences between Americans and Hispanics / Muslims. Not sure whether you did this intentionally, but it is so obvious that Americans / Irishs / Italians are part of western culture, they have differences, but they belong to one big group. On the other hand, Southern American / Middle East belong to non-western culture. The latter is even worse, it is anti-western culture. When you look at the countries, US / UK / EU countries are similar, but Southern America countries are different from US / UK / EU countries, and Middle East countries are extremely different. Did you intentionally blind yourself?

Also, we lived in a different time with two important changes: 1. welfare state. 2. far-left ideology (multiculturalism, post-modernism, etc.) becomes norm

Re:America’s Future Is Texas on Tuesday July 04, 2017 @01:31PM (#14697151)
Why is the assumption that replacing whites with Hispanics is good for the country? Seriously.
Re:Redesigning Google News on Wednesday June 28, 2017 @12:51AM (#14651762)
I don't know what you want to say here. Are you trying to argue that NYT and WP is more trustworthy than Fox? How is this related to my post?

Are you suggesting because Google News developers believe NYT and WP is more trustworthy than Fox, like you do, so they always automatically pick NYT over WP? And this is considered as unbiased?

Or, do you mean they have a super AI to determine which news report is close to reality on each single case? So this is considered as unbiased?

Re:Redesigning Google News on Tuesday June 27, 2017 @10:34PM (#14651316)
Your premise is that Google News only include news, which is totally wrong. Google News includes lots of comments. For example, Huffington post appears a lot in Google News.
