The article on publicly executing Ronald Mcdonald is priceless

Thank you for making better points than I did. I feel like there is no "discussion" here, just blatant attacks on anyone who disagrees with any of the conclusions made by the authors.

When you understand why you dismiss my viewpoint so easily, you'll understand why I dismiss yours with the same ease.

A bug report with no evidence or sources making claims that cannot be verified by the readers. I could just as easily say I am being terrorized by my Female boss and shut down any women who disagree using your argument.

Ironically I bet they would not consider that statement hateful or hyperbolic. I bet the next tweet was something like "Why don't people want to identify as Feminist?"

As another guy in tech I share your experiences. I have never witnessed anything like what was described in that article and I have been working in tech for around 10 years now in a very diverse workplace.

I also know of at least 1 woman who if she was a man would have been fired long ago yet she stays on because managers are basically afraid to fire her.

I'm not saying these problems don't exist, I just find it hard to believe they are as widespread as is claimed. I know many women in tech and not one of them had a problem finding a job which is a good thing. This is my personal experience so make of it what you will.

Just curious, do you have any evidence at all to back up your assumptions that without forceful intervention this particular organization will have a gender imbalance from now until the end of time?

I am not ignoring anything. This particular conference was not called to address historical issues with gender favoritism. This is a scientific / academic conference dealing with actual ongoing research not related to gender studies. If there is a woman in this group that has something relevant to speak about she should definitely be considered but I don't think that the controlling board should be required to select a woman just to make the speaker list look statistically better to activists.

They are free to boycott the conference though I do not think they are doing themselves any favors. They will only cause those not involved in this gender conspiracy to lose patience and empathy with them.

Are there biased men AND women out there? Yes. Are they in complete control of all current events? No.

There is no guarantee that just because there are scientists of X gender in a field that they will have something important to say at Y point in time. It may seem suspicious, but I still don't see any proof of sexism.

I'm not convinced there is a problem. It sounds like some women seized upon this conference as an opportunity to point out a perceived bias.

The article is clearly written to suggest that you are either with us or against us and I take issue with that. The academic content of that kind of conference should not be limited by a speaker's gender, even if that means there are no women speakers. Just to be clear, I would feel the same if there were no male speakers

So basically its a business deal between Huawei and the UK and they're using the angle of "Think of the children" to sell the idea.

While it would be nice to have some minor integration with my car using something like Bluetooth I do not want a fully integrated system between car and phone as it will of course be proprietary and locked down tighter than anything you have ever seen. With a fully integrated system it won't take long before car's come with their own "Parental Controls". You could restrict any car function, music/radio content, phone functions, more stuff than I can imagine.

I don't even want to imagine what Automotive Bloatware would be like.

Think of the children legislators would jump on the opportunity to enact a ton of new laws to "protect" us

Its bad enough that cars with the "old" iPhone dock connector are now permanently obsolete, these new integrated systems will likely be the same.

Its going to be interesting to see what develops

Well the iPhone didn't come to Verizon for years because Apple would not let Verizon put its bloatware on the phone. Verizon only caved because Apple sales were so strong. iPhone only comes with Apple software, you have to manually download any Verizon apps.

My parents both got Androids recently, and while you can "hide" the pre-installed bloatware you still can't delete it. It took me about 30 minutes to clean the phones of all the widgets and crapware.

As the newcomer, a Ubuntu phone really wouldn't have any bargaining power and would be as bad or worse than Android.

The problem is that any Ubuntu phone that is released will likely be just as locked down and filled with bloatware as everything else with Verizon.

I wonder what kind of effect legal marijuana would have on the same crowd if it were available as a nice alternative to Alcohol
