OK. Notice he caved instantly?

Now don’t waste anymore time looking for allies there…

“I’ll start. Pinterest has 11 women out of 89 engineers, putting us at 12% female in engineering — the same percentage as coming out of undergraduate CS programs.” There’s a clue in that statement. Math is the clue.

Give out degrees – free, without studying and wasting baby time – and send them telework. Telecommute. Just logon, read 3 emails, logoff in 8 hours. Stay.Home. It’s cheaper, there’s a degree, and we get babies out of it. And peace. And less money spent on what’s a gimme degree anyway. That’s 4-5 years of gimme degrees and 4-5 years of babies. Win. Since the next part is paid maternity leave anyway. Oh, and peace. To recap: here’s your degree, login remotely, logoff in 8 hours, here’s your 20 years of maternity leave, and a 401K plan too if you like.

The alternative is less babies, less money, and more trouble at work since displaced maternal needs will lead to more agitation, and less less less <<< productivity.

Looks like Wadhwa is making penance for his crimethink. Disappointing.

You forgot Bloody Wog! LOL yeah hes a presumptuous kaffir and someone ought to thrash him. But still I think we should be grateful he introduced dark thought for us hes inoculated a strategic group of youngsters in a very clever way Im sure thy think its about the 1% or something. But the meme of exit wont trigger anti bodies. And.It likely set off alarms at NSA which is amusing to imagine

I’m kind of torn on this guy’s speech. I see your point that he’s an interloper and hasn’t really earned the right to say all this stuff. On the other hand, it’s damn interesting stuff. Plus … it’s quite interesting to me that, among all the minority groups, it seems to be the Indians who are the most open to actually putting their vote where their mouth is — i.e. manning the ranks of the Republican party (the governors of South Carolina and Louisiana, for instance). Perhaps what we’re seeing is the Indian culture of small business manifesting into reasonably conservative politics. Overall, I count this speech as a positive. If only just for that one line: “We are not just a nation of immigrants, we are a nation of emigrants.” That’s a good line

Hmmm.

Was it the smart Gypsies or Dumb ones who stayed at home? They look pretty slick in Europe.

The ones here are summarized in “King of The Gypsies”.

Thanks. I should know – Silicon Vally techno-utopianism is where I started, a decade ago, before embarking on the long journey to where I am now.

“They hate traditionalist flyover America as much as the Cathedral.”

Reciprocity is an Iron Law of War.

They know even less than the Cathedral. Any idiot who describes the language of the Founding Documents as obscurantist is not smart, just super Aspy. Which is how that article struck me.

Americans of Indian descent tend to have high verbal IQ and are threrefore at least as likely to earn themselves Moral Status points by being painstakingly progressive. A wash, at best (IMO).
