Not all of it is news to me, but I've certainly never seen much on this issue.

Scientists kill oldest living animal (507 years old).

Fortunately, the sacrifice was not all for nothing. It gave "some insight into climate change." Yeah. Great.

Watching China and the Senkaku Island dispute.
Do they really think that Japan and the US will let China throw their weight around?
The Japanese are in the process of re-militarizing their government again for the first time since 1945 - because of this bullshit with China.
China is really fucking with the wrong countries.
I hope we don't have to throw down, China was doing so well. It would be a pity for them to have to climb up from the Stone Age again...
BANZAI DAI NIPPON!
Ooops, that just sort of popped out.

San Francisco Techie Says "Lower Part of Society" Should Be Segregated

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Fri Dec 13, 2013 11:55 am

Yeah. Pretty much how a lot of techies feel about women, too, as far as I can tell.
They are a group out of touch with reality.

And this whole winner-take-all economy is bad for the winners, too, because it encourages that sort of thought...

I've witnessed some chauvinism among the software engineer set. Could be cultural or whatever - but totally unprofessional.

Related to glass ceilings and what have you, this was a feel good moment for equality in manufacturing industries.

Who is Mary Barra, the next CEO of GM?

You're sort of generalizing (we call it stereotyping) about "techies"?

Just how many modifiers do I have to use? Is "Pretty much how a lot" and "as far as I can tell" not enough to indicate that it's not universal?

How about

There's a microscopically small, iotal, smidgen of a chance that one in a million of those who work with computer software might, on two or three days a year, isn't as skilled as with women as he might be and he might make a mistake and not worship women to the full extent that he might actually inadvertently, accidentally brush against a woman's feelings and ever-so-slightly bend one, and that woman with elevatorgate is just nuts.

Oh, great. Somebody says "Don't Panic" which compels me to read some article all about how all of my hipster Portlandia buddies aren't going to die from this after all, and so now if I quote any of this to them, they're going to call me things like Neocon and Teabagger.

They're still butt-hurt about the NVIDIA crop circle and the photo of Gabby Giffords with an AR-15 I posted on their wall. Every day.
