It's also important to remember that most of these women were "Human Calculators".

They were given numbers to crunch by the men, who knew for what purpose the numbers were being crunched.

It's like giving credit to the prep cook for the Chef-Owner's Michelin-rated restaurant.

"But I chopped the chives!"

The reason you're hearing about this story, and the story about the female calculators who worked with astronomers in the early 20th Century, is part of the "Women in STEM" propaganda campaign. Their role is quite ancillary to the discoveries and accomplishments that happened.

Additionally, the film was a lie. The black woman was already a supervisor in 1949, before the Space Race. And everybody used the White Bathroom for years, and years went by before anybody gave a shit about it.

Again, like praising the guy who runs the cement mixer and his supervisor, instead of the Architect who designed and oversaw the new crazy building (but hopefully not bridge).

When will PBS and Smithsonian report on thousands of mostly white and Asian males which are behind all Nobel prizes? It is well-known that nearly all lab work, for which someone gets a Nobel prize, is done by winners' graduate and postdoctoral students, who are "forgotten" just as much as the number crunchers in the above story. There are hundreds of them, yet they barely get a mention anywhere, other than in specialized publications. Yet neither PBS nor Smithsonian seems to be reporting on that. Wait, may be this reporting has something to do with prevalent ideology.

Exactly. I gotta start reading threads in order instead of working backwards, totally missed this before I posted above.

Yes, but is collapsed in an artistic feminine sort of way. Score one for wonder woman.

Not just a woman but a woman of color. SJW's are celebrating.

H1-B engineers?

why don't you point out what exactly in the article that you object to instead of attacking the publication

I object to the publication that is heavily biased, why don't you like minorities ?

I am a minority and married outside my race. .so did my parents. What's wrong with the article?

Sounds like a classic example of virtue signaling.

Read the article, spent some time reading other articles by the same author.

Both the publication/website "The Federalist" and the author are very cozy right of center, far right.

The article has some merit but personally I question the real motive. The author is not Snow White.

The original intent of the thread was to inflame and anger while insinuating that the root cause of the bridge collapse was due primarily to a female engineer being involved and a company that has minority ownership of some fashion.

Furthermore insinuation suggests that said collapse would not have occurred had a traditio...

I didn't contribute to the idea that a woman is responsible for the bridge collapse. I'm sure there are 20 people that deserve to be fired or prosecuted for this one. That being said, the article had nothing to do with it either. I do believe that trying to push a particular group to increase their participation into a field leads to less desirable outcomes.

The Left only likes "facts" delivered by the lame-stream media, who of course pick and choose what to report.

So you gonna do this for a while should I go back to being Tenpoundbass and you be the moniker that makes a mockery of the stupid Liberal cocksuckers and their folly charade.

Hey hey hey!!! Don't you think Jeanine is right, McCabe should have been taken out in fucking handcuffs for him to whine like a little bitch Jeanine said she would slap that pussy.

Fuck Liberal putos and mardicones.

I like how I manipulate Patnet fools to change their name out of rage trying to give me shit, but instead they bring heat and shed light on their own ineptitude.

Fucking Idiots!

I get a lot of mileage out of the kick I get out of that I really do!

Fact

If fact then proof? Or just opinion like I suspected in the first place.

As a typical Lefty, you've already made up your mind. Case in point.

It's OK. They all have non-extraditable visas to their countries of origin.

Yeah funny how that site has been scrubbed ain't it?

You tell me a single company in America that would get a University Contract with a home page that has a string of White middle aged males strung 1200 pixels wide across the page.

Fucking aint happening Bubbie.

Feux Follets says

Furthermore insinuation suggests that said collapse would not have occurred had a traditional alpha male white owned construction company with alpha male white engineers been at the helm of the operation.

How many white owned with white helmed construction companies have had bridges collapse in 5 days?

AGS...
Another disease predispositioned towards libbies...

FortWayne says

What happened to hiring qualified people instead of hiring for affirmative action?

for now i'd rather be in control of avoiding the nitwits...but maybe after 30 years of live testing somewhere...like Chicago..where the casualty rate isn't so important...

errc says

it would hopefully be geared towards getting “self driving” cars on the road. This is the technological advancement I’m looking most forward to...get these fucking nitwits off the roads and let the cpu’s gps them around ffs

CBOEtrader says

And this is relevant to anything how ?

White men are only hired when they are the best. Therefore, shit like this is far less likely go happen. Fact.

When a company values diversity over competency, expect bridges to collapse in 5 days (amongst other extraordinary displays of incompetence). Fact.

Guns don't kill people, diversity hire engineers kill people.

Feux Follets says

Trying to make a case that this occurred because of gender or race is ludicrous.

We do not know that. You are avoiding acknowledging possibility that a less-qualified person/s were hired because of affirmative action. I showed above with school admission statistics that this is a distinct possibility.

No need. The comment made indicated it is a well know fact ergo common knowledge to the man on the street, yes ?

OK, lets rephrase: While among scientists it is well-known that nearly all lab work, for which someone gets a Nobel prize, is done by winners' graduate and postdoctoral students, who are "forgotten" just as much as the number crunchers in the above story, general public is unaware of this fact. Should Smithsonian/PBS make a move, and will it make the movie?

We all know the answer. Since it is not "correct" minorities, no one will care.

Feux Follets, you can make your point without the personal attacks.

Try again. Thanks.

Fivelbsbrowntrout says

Or was every person working on this project an alma mater of FUI?

Lol, this is such a left field straw man, all i can do is LOL.

Feux Follets says

Selective moderation again Goran. FUCK YOU

LOL, I've seen you personally attack others. Perhaps take responsibility for your actions and follow the forum rules. Its not GK's fault you are attacking others.

Has anyone attacked you personally? If so, point it out.

Feux Follets says

Have fun guys - you all are some of the reasons people left here - actually most of the reasons

I see you are still blaming others for your inability to stick to the topic rather than attack others.

If you cant make your points w/o attacking others then good riddance to you.

Feux Follets says

purposely goading

You mean making a point? LOL, try a counter point rather than stamping around and cursing the forum

Don't be goaded ya'll need to learn to accept groupthink you can't change.
You don't have to be the final word on every damn thing, and yes those trying to Educate you are more often than not, the dumbest son of a bitch out of everybody.

Knowing you're being goaded and triggered is half the battle.

Feux Follets, comments from both sides have been marked as personal. Some people change their posts and behavior.

You think I like nuking post? I'm doing this to help Patrick out since I like the community and I figure I should contribute something since I'm not paying Patrick's rent or server costs.

Why not make it easy and just tune down the personal attacks in your post? I think you make good points without the garbage.

Fivelbsbrowntrout says

Wow so we already know why this failure occurred and who was responsible???

Where did I say that I know why the failure occurred? You are lying. What I said is that I can not exclude that...which is different from I know that...

Obligatory:

Fivelbsbrowntrout says

You are lying.

personal much?

No not lying just making a point.

Did I say or did I not say that I know why failure occurred? If I did not say, then you are lying, and that is a fact.

Fivelbsbrowntrout says

This also implies that the responsible party is known and if the responsible party is known then the cause of failure should also be known.

If we don't know why the failure occurred or who was responsible then how can we know what school they went to? If we don't know what school they went to then what does FUIs admission satitistic matter?

No it does not imply that the cause is known. All that it implies is that due to admission statistics, it is more likely that a female/minority graduate is less likely to be competent and thus more likely to screw up than Asian/white/male graduate.

PIMP $HIT lol

Too late for the Democratic Party. Melissa Bean, STEM turned Democrat Politician, hired the Awan Brothers in her IT Wisdom.

Read the article, IT Guys. Notice the Blackberrys and the sending of PDFs prior to committee meetings, including Intel and Defense meetings with classified info. All backed up on a certain somebody's computers... and accessed from (in?) Pakistan.
