Comment Re:Not only does Damore have an NLRB case... (Score 1) 1256

where he actually recommends non-discriminatory practices for increasing diversity

Yes I saw that bit, the distraction where he attempts to soften the line from his eugenics shit where he cites a whole lot of stuff out of context.

I'm amazed that you are still here trying to justify the guy. You could do a better job yourself than that whiny weasel bullshit he wrote.

Comment Re:Do Sheeple Dream of Electric Meat? (Score 1) 342

Given all the people still wary of eating GMOs or anything 'artificial', there will be a large demand for animal meat even if this becomes cheaper

I'm not so sure. The factory grown fungus made into highly processed food, Quorn, has really taken off with vegetarians and many people you'd think would shy away from anything artificial.

Pork, chicken and farmed fish are not likely to go away any time soon but beef could end up being a luxury item in a decade or two.

As such, lab-grown meat in that way is BY DEFINITION sterile ("free from bacteria or other living microorganisms") when it's grown

Not as such, genetic sequencing has thrown up a few scary surprises such as viruses embedded in the pig genome. Thanks to CRISPR that's been worked on for future human organ transplants but there may be more things to come.

Comment Thanks, that clears that up (Score 1) 1256

So you have a doubt that Damore explicitly talks about the secret diversity hiring meeting?

I had not heard it before your claim so expected you to back it up.

Thank you for the quote because now I do not have to watch fifty-one minutes of men's rights activist shit just for thirty seconds of unsubstantiated hearsay.
You have backed up what you said - Damore not so much.

I still don't get why you guys are foaming at the mouth when a corporation acts like a corporation and fires a naive political activist who believed the lie that "my door is always open". Most of you would have far more experience in a workplace than Damore and should know better.

Telnet, yes - it's been very effectively replaced by ssh, but ftp still lingers on since so many people keep on trying to reinvent it badly instead of settling on something better.
There's so many fucking homegrown web things that don't even support REGET or similar instead of supporting something built on ssh or anything else that works effectively.
Hence people using Dropbox even at the fumbling start when it was a security joke even worse than plain FTP (it got better later). People wouldn't have put up with that if there was a widely used alternative.

It doesn't have to be poorly written PHP to be garbage. Poorly written C, which would have been common back then, can be far more dangerous.

An FTP site is incredibly trivial to transfer to something running current software - "poorly written C" doesn't come into it. Username, password, get files - finished.

Sorry to hear you come with pre-conceived notions which are unsupported by reality.

Reading comprehension failure (probably deliberate) - try again.

I might have missed that memo.

It's called "Atlas Shrugged" where those born to power, such as the jailbait heiress, are the ones considered fit to rule while American Democracy (run by Republicans at the time) is slammed.

Still waiting for a citation or three from you

I asked YOU the question about your begging for money while apparently employed. How can I cite anything other than your words?
What's with all the cowardly weasel evasions instead of taking responsibility for what you have written? Are you ashamed?

You go to a meeting. Your company asks for feedback. You give feedback.

Not what happened here is it? We have a ten page whiny "mens-rights" activist screed.

I thought sewing pussyhats ... is activism

Ah - the "if a white guy does it it's not terrorism" tribalist bullshit. There are extremists on all sides even in your "tribe". One of the things I do not miss about working in a University a couple of decades back is the activists like the "Christian" bunch who kicked the cheap Hare Krishna food stall off campus.
Of course it's fucking activism, just look at it his "girls have germs" manifesto.

The really funny thing here is "conservatives" screaming at a corporation to tell it to be liberal enough to put up with an activist in it's ranks. It's amazing how naive you guys are and the levels of hypocracy are through the roof!
