Very much this. As a long-time Namecheap customer, this thread caught my attention, but my layman's conclusion is that it doesn't really sound like they did anything worse than any other host would have done.

As someone who forgets his passwords on a regular basis, I'm kind of glad that there's no such thing as perfect security...

Please give me peace...

I’ve emailed Nguyen to find out more and will update this post if I hear back.

Classic.

Pretty much League of Legends all the way, all of the adrenaline of an FPS, with the progression of an MMORPG but none of the grind. I'm not surprised it's the most played game in the world. Recently Hearthstone has been fun...

Pat, I have better things to do than debate semantics with a bored undergrad who aggressively downvotes any opinion that dissents with his. Take what you can from the discussion on gender equality...or don't, you're the one missing out.

Perhaps it was dumb. Perhaps not. I made a judgement call that I'd be able to make more of a difference to the company culture by sending a blunt email to the senior management team than I would by joining the company's middle management where I'd have very little influence anyway.

My hope is that they will implement some changes based on a. concern about their public image, and b. evidence that they are losing qualified candidates as a result of their imbalance. It is often the case with companies like this that many people on the inside would like to see a change but lack the evidence and support necessary to gain widespread support for it.

If it doesn't work it doesn't work, and yes I am involved in other activities to promote gender equality (both men and women's equality), both inside and outside work.

Not wanting to challenge your intuition, but my notion was that company success is strongly correlated to women on the board and gender equality.

Hopefully the research linked in my email at the bottom of the original post might prompt you to reconsider your intuitive position (one that is unfortunately shared by many people).

One might even suggest that the title is at once playful, satirical, arresting, and a little ironic.

Ignoring your unfair generalisations about Accenture employees, I made no assertion that Accenture as a whole was a good way to run a business.

In the 3 years I worked there, there was a lot that I disagreed with, but one thing they did well was their effort to drive towards greater gender equality.

I can't help but think that this would be a vastly better deal for the US than Canada. Canada already enjoys much of the benefits touted for a merger (protection of its neighbour, Free trade access to a massive market) while the US has much to gain (massive resources, land, water, better healthcare).

Assuming there was as much in common politically and socially as suggested (there most certainly isn't) the US's stock is very much in decline while Canada's is very much in ascendancy.

The only way a merger could happen would be as a merger of equals necessitated by bigger global threats alongside dramatic social reform/normalisation in the US (I.e. The US starts to catch up with the rest of the Western world in terms of social maturity).
