Agreed, these "private property" analogies fall apart badly. I could easily say something stupid like "If I put a sign on my house that says 'Do not look at my house under penalty of law.' and there is no fence or anything", is it enforcable? Of course not.

I wasn't planning on sleeping tonight anyhow.

Whatever you do, don't tell someone to shut up, you will get sued for that.

Well, it certainly is if you ask mathematicians. :)

So when we don't force women into tech and nobody joins, what do we do? We still have this huge tech disparity between the genders. And someone things this is WRONG. So the next stop is, what, pay women twice as much as men for the same job?

Also, before someone brings the wage gap up. If women were getting paid less for the same job as men in engineering, wouldn't companies what to fill their rank with women in order to save money? As far as I know the wage gap only exists because men and women tend towards specific jobs. I am all for eliminating the stigma of a female truck driver or a male housekeeper... but aside from either giving out incentives that are unfair to another group... what can we do?

And yes, I am aware that there are still "boys club" or brogrammer organizations out there. Yes, this should be stomped right out. I haven't worked for one in over a decade though, so I don't know where they are. None of the major companies that employ around here would dare have sexist or racist hiring policies.

created equal

Equal opportunities, not equal outcomes.

Socialism I can live with, people should help one another out. How we do it and how much it costs are debatable. But Social Marxism where nobody is allowed to succeed at all? Where we force people into roles and jobs that don't want to have? What the hell, man?

If you are Target and I just want to see what you have available in your store, then no, you don't need an app.

If you farm out to lazy app developers that simply ask for every permission on the phone, then no, you don't need an app.

And if you make a phone-specific version of your site, it will almost always end up crippled.

Fax machines have always sucked. Even in their day.

But how many of the entries on that page are hoaxes about being hoaxes?

Are 4chan, reddit, imgur, and cheezeburger part of this association?

Then it does not represent the internet.

"Filled?" I think you may underestimate just how big the sky is.

My computer beat me at chess... but I beat it at kickboxing.

Actually I was referring to the order to implement bureaucracy article from a few days ago, but this is a good point as well. I was watching that launch live when they shut it down at the last moment. I wonder how much an abort like that costs SpaceX and NASA?

What I want to know is how they will be defending against trebuchets.
