Maybe you're right. Physical/behavioral differences were bigger, but fears based on them were simpler. As in your wolf/dog analogy - maybe they weren't developed enough to make a big deal out of it.

If you look at the racism problems today (with minor genetic differences causing such fuss), imagine the proto-racism back then. Scary.

TLDR: It's Postgres.

(I don't have any big opinions about the effort, I just wanted to hear what was the database chosen that was able to track all different data formats... and it could have been sexier, but yes - Postgres would do.)

Blown away, by both the adaptiveness of the platform and software. It feels like the flexibility that I'd want for all of my prototyping experiments. Signed-up, and patiently cheering from the side-lines.

If you take a look at the site's footer, they're stating the original logo copyright.

Not sure about the "Git" trademark part...

Why stop there?

Maybe the problem is with my sense of humor, but I find that when a comedian starts the sketch with "you're a stupid moron, let me tell you why..." I have trouble following the rest.

Interesting. "I'll talk about a thing I don't like to people I don't like". Doesn't even work on the sarcasm/satire level because there's too much effort put into it. What am I missing?

Hi Carl,

purely judging from your profile picture it seems that you're about half my age :) and I think it's excellent that you're doing a bunch of things - personal blog, linux, tutorial post... Just remember - most of the guys around here tend to do it for marketing reasons (i.e. we want to find a job and we're advertising our capabilities), and those projects might not be the most interesting things out there.

Bottom line is - just because everybody else is doing it, might be because they have different motives than you, and I hope you'll do/build firstly what's interesting and fun, and secondly what's financially viable.

Good luck, have fun!

I love when the comment section gives me more good reading material than the original post. Kudos to the community!

That is the most shocking part, but it's not the emphasis of the rant - it's the added value that gives the author credibility.

Please note that I'm coming from a 3rd world country, Google probably has my university well below it's radar, and I know people from there hired by Google (in double-digit numbers). So not being on the "A list" is quite normal for a vast majority of the world, yet you can make it happen.

On a personal note - I interviewed and got reject by Google, but I'm a white male so I do think they actually rejected me because of my performance and not because of my other attributes.

She writes "Google treats badly black, queer women", but the story is "Google treated ME badly, and I'm a black queer woman". Also, I'm not comfortable supporting or empathizing with anybody so certain about their "stellar, fantastic, greatest in history" profile.

It would be interesting to hear what were the performance/carrier paths of those 300 people she hired, to understand whether they really just needed a leg-up. That would validate her hunch about untapped potential. On the other hand I'm afraid that it's likely that if they were not promoted it would be again blamed on racism, because if you have that one differentiator, it can be used in any situation.

(Yes, I'm aware that this comment is not going to be palatable to politically correct majority).
