They will if they want to keep their jobs, be noticed by management, and get promotions and raises.

Sounds like they discovered how cultures are developed, maintained, and grow. Next up they may study how social bonds are formed and maintained, perhaps they'll call it "friendship", but more likely they'll refer to it as some sort of "preferential social virus reinforcement."

Actually, those numbers have no additional utility to me. I cannot comprehend the distance to the Earth and Sun or Moon as I have no experience with either of those metrics. I do, however, understand the length of a mile and 1,000 miles, for I have traveled these distances before. 776,000 miles is simply 776 times as long as that 1,000 mile trip.

For this to be a rape culture, this behavior would have to be accepted by others and the society at large. It isn't.

The distinction is more clear that you're putting: Eich did not let his opinions affect his work or how he treated his coworkers, but Rice's work is what is problematic.

There's a massive distinction that should be noted between Eich and Rice: Eich's personal opinions did not affect his work or how he treated his coworkers, whereas Rice's work is precisely what is in question.

Interesting choice of occupations you used, considering Tesla is the most automated car manufacturing facility in the world. He may be great at putting engines into cars, but he's not better than the robots they already have.

Jetpacks have been around since the 1960s. The most successful models involve carrying large quantities of H2O2 on your back, pushing it through a catalyst, and having the exhaust come out at destructively hot temperatures. They're heavy, hard to control, and only provide a few seconds of controlled flight. In other words, they're a huge liability for limited utility.

Much like other forms of transport, flight is most effective when it is scaled up to many persons per trip.

Deaf culture isn't sign language, but a culture of deaf supremacy. Sign language is a language, independent to the culture of deaf people.

This isn't the 1960s, the world is quickly becoming entirely digital, and infinite reproduction of digital data can be bit-perfect.

From what is known, Eich kept his opinions personal and did not use them to influence his behavior at work. He contributed to a political campaign as a private citizen and someone leaked the contributors list and made this information public.

Your case with the VP making his position known to his employees is drastically different from Eich's private contributions to a political campaign.

Good for you. Do you want a cookie?

The people screwing around with Raspberry Pis in High School are exactly the people who should be choosing a CS major!

This time around people aren't chasing lucrative compensation, they're simply chasing compensation. What other major would you suggest to a high school senior that could employ them for the foreseeable future?

Men aren't offered exciting projects, overtime, etc.; they actively pursue it. In the book "Ask For It: How Women Can Use the Power of Negotiation to Get What They Really Want" on Page 2, Linda Babcock describes exactly this scenario. All the male colleagues get the good jobs and the women get the less exciting roles. Upon inquiring why this was so, she was informed that the women simply never asked!
