Yeah, I really can't relate.  My entire management team is women.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

My whole career has been that way. I have a feeling once the oldster generation retires in large numbers, we're going to suddenly start noticing the old workplace balance tropes getting nuked.

Interesting (though dense and at times difficult to follow for the non pointy headed among us) article in the current Economist about the potential applications of the bitcoin "blockchain" concept.  Article starts off with the example of land registries in 3rd world countries subject to corruption and public fucking with ownership records, such as Guatemala and Greece.

At the hearing yesterday some tearful fruitcake said that England, France, and Germany had all pulled wifi from libraries and schools and other similar places to prevent cancer from killing the children. That true? Can you not get wifi in any schools, libraries and so forth over there? Did you guys all think of the children?

There are free wireless networks all over the place.

Though admittedly I can't speak to schools or libraries. -_-

Let me just say I was highly skeptical of this claim of knowledge of international Wifi policies by some teary eyed farmer from the Hill Country.

I hope your cancer is not killing you too quickly garbon.
