Do you have any systematic rules that enforce that type of bias in an institution?

If I hadn't already posted here, I would UPVOTE this insightful. Because, if we are to have a meaningful workforce in 20 years, EVERYONE needs to know something about how a computer can be controlled. Otherwise, we will only have nearly useless button pushers protected by unions, the government or some other criminal element.

You believe Henry Cavill has super powers?

So let's suppose he's a "fake". He would therefor be guilty of turning a lie into a profitable entertainment venture.

Isn't that exactly how every author, producer and actor makes their living?

Supporting DRM is morally worse than supporting pirating. At least with supporting pirating, no one gets hurt.

My wife is a nurse and we actually know MANY nurses. Mostly female nurses and a handful of males. There is interest in getting more men into the field if you ask them about it. But there is no dedicated "desperately important" effort like you see to get women into IT.
