scieramaon Trump Strategic and Policy Forum, Which Included IBM and GM CEOs, Disbands

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:

"Trump calls KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists 'repugnant'"

scieramaon Ask a Female Engineer: Thoughts on the Google Memo

Damore should sue Gizmodo. Big companies like Google and IBM and the military though, they usually have CoC requirements that essentially boil down to don't embarrass them in public.

scieramaon We Fight for the Users

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:

https://beta.code.dccouncil.us/dc/council/code/sections/22-1...

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

scieramaon I’m an Ex-Google Woman Tech Leader and I’m Sick of Our Approach to Diversity

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.

scieramaon Google says it will ban neo-Nazi site after domain name switch

I'm for FOS but I can support Google's decision on this since they also censor known terrorist organizations.

scieramaon To Protect Voting, Use Open-Source Software

"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.

scieramaon Software Engineering ≠ Computer Science (2009)

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.

Then you want to hire people are good at interviewing; not necessarily people who are good at their job.

scieramaon JetBrains Web UI components open-sourced

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.

Facebook is a large geek shop; not how the vast majority of enterprises work or can work for that matter.

scieramaon JetBrains Web UI components open-sourced

That seems like a fair comment, I wonder why you're being downvoted?

scieramaon JetBrains Web UI components open-sourced

Why are you being downvoted for expressing an opinion?

scieramaon JetBrains Web UI components open-sourced

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?

You're conflating records management with actual currency.

scieramaon Scientists Edit a Dangerous Mutation in Human Embryos

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.

Choices, the answer is people choose to behave as they do, when they do and how they do.

scieramaon Reddit raises $200M at a $1.8B valuation

I don't get why a company who keeps the entire Internet talking on a daily basis is only worth less than $2B but a company that lets teens take snaphots and share them is worth many billions.

scieramaon A vulnerability rating of your IP address

What would you recommend, a fine, perhaps a stern talking to by the authorities?

scieramaon A vulnerability rating of your IP address

I report any scanning done against my IP's. I do not know what the intentions of the scanner are. People trying to make money making a product that scans my IP's and wastes bandwidth and computing resources that I have to pay for should be jailed in my humble opinion.
