300$ fee if you drive in 3 feet of snow!!! GEEE! Hope these guys never go up north.
Well, these cities can spend billions preparing for something that happens one or two days out of a year, or the city can just close for those one or two days and everyone gets some extra time off. Which of those two seems more reasonable? I know many Americans lack perspective, but you're not exactly making a good case for Canadians here, either.
What makes you think that he made such a comparison? schwit1 makes the comparison in his summary...
Um... you answered your own question right there. Nobody mentioned the article and the GP specifically quoted the summary.
The problem with this hypothesis is that it doesn't explain why woman have been so successful in fields like law and medicine, where they not only faced blatant discrimination, harassment, and discouragement from their peers, but also institutional barriers. Yet women fought through all of that and prevailed. So if you think that "discouragement" is the explanation, you need to explain why it only happens in tech.
Perhaps because law & medicine are centuries old fields and there has been ample time for this to have happened, whereas "tech" is fairly young still.
Islam is petrified of people who think, because thinking people will see it for the racist, facist, evil, misogynistic, hateful, backward pile of war-mongering nastiness that it truly is.
When you make it about one religion, you pretend that it is the only religion with nutbag extremists. It's not. You could replace "Islam" with "Christianity" or a handful of other religions and the rest of your sentence would remain true. Just bear in mind that there are plenty of people in each of those religions who are not afraid of people who think, and are fully committed to being peaceful, productive members of a modern society.
Christians & Muslims get judged a lot by their religion because many people of those religions judge others a lot. Turn-about is fair play.
