From ieee

Female IEEE members say they face significant discrimination in the workplace, including demeaning comments, inappropriate job-interview questions, and exclusion from networking events and important business meetings.

Those were among the most common negative experiences reported by more than 4,500 members—associate member grade and above—from around the world who answered a survey IEEE conducted in 2017. The results were released last year.

Almost half of those surveyed worked in academia, and about 30 percent were from private industry. The rest worked for governmental or nonprofit institutions, or were graduate students or self-employed. The majority of respondents (65 percent) lived outside the United States.

    Weren't me, JR! Just average Soylentils expressing their views on the alt-right bias inherent in the SoylentNews.

    But as for the numbers, 119 submissions since Feb. 10 of this year, acceptance rate 6%. =7.14?
    Total submissions: 682. Accepted: 89. Ratio: #freearistarchus.

    Aristarchus acceptance rate in 2016, 70%. Gee, what happened after 2016?

      You threw away all pretense of being a troll?

        Pretence? I do not think your post means what you think it means. Are you saying ari was pretending to be a troll, but then stopped? Or that he was a troll and admitted it? So is ari a troll, or not? Or is this a "meta-troll" post, intended to confuse me? Hanlon! Calling Hanlon! Bring razor, please!

      Perhaps you stopped saying anything new that would generate in interesting discussion?

      Not quite sure why you chose those particular dates to for this year's submissions, I have counted them and you have had 13 posted this year i.e. since 1 Jan 2019.
