Comment Build nuclear power plants (Score 1) 279

The green movement caused climate change with its simultaneous opposition to nuclear power and reduction in particulate sizes and quantity of smoke emissions, and so this is a problem they created. To trust their solutioning to the problem at this point is absolute madness.

Dropping a bunch of nuclear waste into an ocean trench is far less dangerous than the CO2. Just build loads of nuclear power plants, with the Feds eating the capital cost of construction, as, we're going to need mountains of electricity to scrub the atmosphere anyway in any conceivable process put on the table.

Comment Re:No link to Csforall ?! (Score 3, Insightful) 45

So you agree these groups don't want more CS graduates, they want to take CS from men who want to do it and give it to women who don't.

That's not how this works. That's now any of this works. Generally speaking, college education programs are not a zero-sum game although it does get more like that as you get into the PhD research level where we tend to underfund basic research. Nobody is "taking it away" from anyone... they are just making sure women and girls perceive CS as a real option for them. That's not "sexism". It's "representation". I've worked in the software industry for decades. It's ALWAYS been a "sausage-fest" in every setting where you find coders: industry, academia, events, etc. Males are not hurting for access to CS programs, encouragement to take CS prerequisites, or to invest personal time in learning technology. Organizations that demand and protect the status quo are not called "advocacy groups" for good reason. Let me know when the rate of males going into CS drops precipitously to less than 1 in 5 and I'm happy to donate to your "Men's Rights Group".

Just make up you're damned mind already and stick with one thing!

Seriously. My all-remote company has historically used Hangouts for meetings but they keep moving everything around. We can't constantly be taking time to keep up with it, we have actual work to do over here. Google keeps proving itself undependable, and that's a great way to lose at B2B.
