2017/08/08: James Damore and his Google Memo on Diversity (complete)

Good, no b/s interview and explanation of content. Why do liberals hate science?

In the Google employee handbook.

Meanwhile, at Google HQ, the Ministry of Diversity & Truth arrives to remove the last remnants of the offensive "Google Memo"...

Google CEO After Firing Engineer: ‘People Must Be Free To Express Dissent’
A day after Google fired an employee who wrote a lengthy memo blasting the company’s diversity policies, CEO Sundar Pichai wrote his own missive Tuesday saying that “people must feel free to express dissent.”

"The world will note that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base. That was because we wished in this first attack to avoid, in so far as possible, the killing of civilians."

August 9, 1945, Harry Truman, Democrat

For the record, Hiroshima was and is a city, and the vast majority of deaths were civilian. Lying comes easy to these people.

What really twist my mind, the Japanese military tried to prevent their Emperor from surrendering.

North Korea - Tillerson is trying to do his job. So,Gorka gets up in front of a bunch of people and basically says Tillerson doesn't know what he's talking about and should STFU. Meanwhile, 45 is throwing around more nonspecific threats that sound like the iconic parental "don't make me stop this car".

In times of crisis, a strong team comes together. Just sayin.

Kaiser study shows that insurance premiums are going up for many next year - because insurers are essentially imposing an "uncertainty tax" directly related to 45s actions. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown...s-raise-health-insurance-premiums-study-says/
This is helping the middle class ... how?

45, from his golf course, tells McConnell to "get back to work." LOL

A day after Google fired an employee who wrote a lengthy memo blasting the company’s diversity policies

The writer went on a long rant about his opinions that women are biologically inferior and unsuited for tech careers. But apparently he was not "biologically superior" enough to remember that his employment was contingent on a workplace code of conduct forbidding employees to promote gender stereotypes,

That is not true.

1) The memo was available internally for over a month and was well received by many.

2) Memo was in response to illegal discrimination

3) The first page of the memo outlines how little differences their are between men and women.

4) Relies heavily on current science.. people see the word neuroticism and freak out.

5) Read the memo or have it explained by a scientist, not a news reader on CNN.

Affirmative action should have ended a decade ago.

Affirmative action should have ended a decade ago.

When will it end? It's been going on for about 50 years. The best hope for it to end is Donald Trump. Affirmative Action is basically institutional racism where those in power must judge people by the color of their skin.

Now, meet the man who pretended to be black so he would get accepted to medical school under the lower standards they have for black people because of affirmative action.

Vijay Chokal Ingam said he ‘shaved his head, trimmed his eyelashes and joined the organization for black students’ when he began his quest to finagle his way into medical school by exploiting the affirmative action programs in place.

Vijay claims that he interviewed at medical schools across the country and was accepted into St. Louis University School of Medicine despite the fact that he had an abysmal 3.1 GPA which is dramatically lower than the school’s average of 3.7

You're totally incorrect. He never said what you're implying.

At a time when everyone is coming out of the closet it looks like Conservatives are becoming a minority that feel like they need to stay in the closet to avoid open hostility so as to maintain their jobs.

if Google takes this kind of action against different viewpoints within its own ranks, then what do you think they are doing to the information they deem unfit when presenting search results to the general public, like the examples I gave on previous posts?

They will make themselves vulnerable to competitors. Innovation is the great equalizer.

Thanks so much for the helpful advice.

I did read the memo. And I am very familiar with the psychological meaning of the word "neuroticism" and not "freaking out" about it.

Rant wasn't quite the right term for me to use - his gender bias was more subtle, but it was there.

I personally never wanted or needed programs that support women, but some benefit from them. There's a lot of bias in tech, some subtle some not so much. Not everybody has the experience or confidence to cook up a batch of whup ass when they encounter it.

Software != Human Resources.
I explained the results you were seeing.. If you do enough searches you can find results which appear biased towards any viewpoint.

No one is saying there is no bias. Some bias is good. I think it more important that individuals have an opportunity to pursue their ambitions than limit people by quota.

Huge over reaction by Google.

One example I heard was Nurses vs STEM in Sweden, four out of five nurses are women. More women want to be nurses. STEM is still mostly male.

We are not created equal. The law gives us equal rights. Vive la différence

In preparation for the Unite the Right (wrong) rally, a white supremacist is telling his cult members how to dress:

The worst look ever is a baggy T-shirt. Wear fitted T-shirts, where the sleeve goes to the middle of your bicep. It should not hang lower than base of your member. - Andrew Anglin

He then goes onto beg supporters to look "appealing" and "sexy" and "hip" and "dangerous".

This from the same insecure losers that call most males "betas" and claim they hate gays.
