This article accuses James Demore of using psuedoscience. What trash

300,000 years of evolution bigot. Also, there is no evolutionary bioligal difference.

It's not irony when you realize they only use standards to attack you.

Liberals only like science when they use it to bash religion. What they are actually trying to say is that they see religion as so low that even science is above it, but the emphasis is that science is also very unimportant. James Damore and other autists don't pick up on this, and think they're part of the cool crowd. It never ends well for them, or really for anyone who stays with leftists for too long.

Any company that hires to diversify the ethnicity of their staff is moronic. The purpose of interviews is the attempt to hire the best person for the job. If a company hires inferior labor in the quest to become diverse, they will simply become an inferior company.

Yea, I have never understood ethnic diversity when it comes to jobs. A diversity of skills is much more value. Diversity of ethnicity will just get you some interesting food items at a pot luck or something.

If not for diversity, there wouldn't be any black men stopping white men from assaulting women. Didn't you see the Gilette commercial.

Ideas took diversity of ideas (an actual good thing) and ran with it to try and get their groups in (women, blacks, browns etc). The thing is anyone who has worked in any company can tell you all them have the same god damn ideas.

They have kikes at the top, making sure they stay in a dominant position by what amounts to monopolistic practices. So they basically have money to burn and nothing much to do with it. Giving it to niggers to help elevate their social status and make them more desirable partners is just another way for (((them))) to accelerate the Kalergi plan.

This helps explain why I can't get a contract these days after a long SUCCESSFUL career so far. While East Indians are CHOKING all the places I go for interviews (the FEW that I get).

I wonder if I tried something like that how things would change in my job search (until caught) but I was afraid that the experiment would be me even further into some covert black ball hole (I cheated). So I don't. I'm not a good cheater. I'm not tricky. I'm autistic.

Get some updated certs in security. Try varying your rez.
That's a thing. I don't know what area (other) of comp sci I'd like to get into now. security probably isn't my thing since I'm not a tricky sort, I'm more of an efficiency (better, faster, cheaper) expert. I like tuning and optomizing and am VERY successful (better than most) at it. It's like being better at building dragsters than combat vehicles I'd say. Thought about gaming, but then thought about the sorts of young spuds I'd HAVE to deal with. Wouldn't get along probably. TRIED thinking of an application area I could BREAK into as an owner (company). Nothing that isn't a scam springs to mind. I had GOOD ideas along those lines in the past, but NO reputation or capital. Oh well. Maybe I'm just done. God wants me for the final battle or something. Thanks for the ideas.

The program on its face is in direct violation of Federal and (I would be willing to bet A LOT) Washington state laws concerning sexual discrimination in hiring.
The trap the marxists have built for themselves is that a law that says you can't discriminate based on sex means -- you can't discriminate based on sex.
A better law would be one that says "You can't discriminate". But I have no idea how you could ever enforce something like that. Thus we end up back at the only plan that has ever worked: Meritocracy!
Remove federal manipulation of the market through wealth redistribution from tax slaves. Let the free market decide. I am fully in favor of letting businesses destroy their reputation and eventually their existence. Just so long as no taxpayer ever has to carry the burden of their bad management.
Of course the real "problem" they are trying to fix is that they want to gift these jobs to people that have no qualifications to hold them.
[–] Ayemyhippy 0 points 13 points 13 points (+13|-0) ago
If they really cared about not discriminating against X demographic, they would’ve just passed a law saying that asking for identifying information such as gender, ethnicity, etc on an application is illegal. Can’t help but wonder if they knew that hiring people based only on their qualifications wouldn’t produce the diversity they were hoping for, and would expose some ugly truths.
[–] HighEnergyLife 0 points 8 points 8 points (+8|-0) ago
Yep, the absolutely last thing they want is a blind interview process.
That's why they're pushing the "post meritocracy " narrative. Competency is a male tool of oppression. Therefore we need an actively curated, diversified team. Meaning, not white.

Personally i think you should be able to discriminate who to hire in your own business, especially about which employees you want to have around.
Even if they are perfectly capable of doing whatever the job requires them to do, do you really want to hire someone that might, one day, destroy the life of one of your employees with a false rape accusation and with that the reputation of your own business or even cause you legal troubles?
Do you really want to hire someone that you know is genetically more inclined to violence?
Do you really want to hire someone that might turn your business into shit following feminist ideas like they did at Google?
Do you really want to hire someone that might, one day, start demanding equality of outcome instead than equality of opportunity and meritocracy?
Discrimination is a way to protect yourself, your employees and your business. Why aren't you allowed to do so?
[–] 475677 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
The real question that needs answering is how did not being able to discriminate result in equality of outcome? Should it not have resulted in equality of opportunity where an interview is only conducted after an employer has reviewed your resume and determined that you would be suitable for the position and even then only to confirm that you can show up on time, aren't covered in tattoos, etc.? I know that kind of system has been tried and resulted in a huge number of white males being selected by the computers put in charge of selecting people based on merit alone, but is not going against that actual discrimination and a retarded business practice in general as it purposefully selects someone less suitable anyway?
It's a honking mad world we live in.

What they wrote was "you can't discriminate based on sex". What they meant was "you can't discriminate against women".
What they wrote was "you can't discriminate based on race, ethnicity, or national origin". What they meant was "you can't discriminate against niggers".
What they wrote was "you can't discriminate based on sexual orientation". What they meant was "you can't discriminate against faggots".
What they wrote was "you can't discriminate based on religion". What they meant was "you can't discriminate against Jews or Muslims, but fuck Christians. Oh, and especially fuck Buddhists, with all that Oh Ma Ni Pad Me Hum shit".
What they wrote was "you can't discriminate based on veteran status". What they meant was "lol, no one is going to win a lawsuit based on that, so let's toss that in to sell it to the pro-war members of congress".

The Microsoft author echoes former Google employee James Damore, who in 2017 wrote a memo that went internally viral at Google, leaning on pseudoscience to argue that women aren’t cut out for the tech industry. Damore was fired for breaching the company’s code of conduct amid enormous public and internal controversy, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote in a memo that the firing was due to “advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace.”
"leaning on pseudoscience"
[–] middle_path 0 points 7 points 7 points (+7|-0) ago
It must have gone viral because no one agreed with it /s.
[–] CowWithBeef 1 point 1 point 2 points (+2|-1) ago
That's not even Damore's argument so maybe that's why it's psuedoscience?
[–] Pwning4Ever 0 points 23 points 23 points (+23|-0) ago
Damore never said women are not cut out for engineering. He said there are biological reasons why men prefer systems(engineering) and women prefer socializing jobs (nursing)

They're already scattering. SF is so disgusting and over priced they're looking for new places to shit up.
Also, I assume, to avoid just vengeance from on high by creating multiple dispersed targets.
