[EX Q]: Comment: First off, if Zunger has quit Google, than it was just in the last 2 weeks, so I doubt it. He was with Google in mid-july. In addition, he was SO inept and incompetent that he has been there for ~15 years and has been a senior engineer and architect.  IOW, Zunger, a former CU grad, has been very competent. 

Secondly, the author of that posting is well known for being a far rightie complainer that has gone NOWHERE in the company. He is blaming others for his lack of competency. Yes, he is known to others. The guy has SOME good points. I have known many women and minorities that came into the field, but then do NOT want to put in the time that many others do. I used to work a regular 60-80 hrs / week and enjoyed it. Few women do that. Even fewer minorities do that, except for Asians, namely Indians that I worked with. There were exceptions. At Bell labs, was a black female engineer with fingernails that were 3" long. She was AWESOME as a coder. Incredibly bright. And loved to work.
[EX A]: Non-threat

[EX Q]: Comment: That's funny, with Obama snubbing Israel? As usual, you've got it backwards. Just like the Jews who voted for Obama in 2008. When speaking today; TEL AVIV Dec 30, 2016—Israel’s political shift to the right and growing support for building settlements made it easier for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to respond sharply to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s parting peace-plan speech, but some here are concerned he is counting too heavily on a friendlier U.S. in a Trump presidency...Welcome to Reality, brought to you from Obama?

“You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway. So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually it’s quite fun to fight them, you know. It’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right up there with you. I like brawling.” General "Mad Dog" Mattis
