@RickiTarr "In 2020, IBM apologized for firing her 52 years earlier." (quote from the Wikipedia page) That's quite a delayed apology. @photovotary @RickiTarr I note that the Catholic Church officially apologized to Galileo in 1990. @photovotary @RickiTarr Danger of being too far ahead in your field (and not conforming in other ways) in both cases. @fe06 @photovotary @RickiTarr Someone should dedicate an exoplanet atlas to him. I think he’d have liked that. @photovotary @RickiTarr Hm. When did they apologize for facilitating the holocaust by setting up punch card computer processing of census data? Funnily enough the ARM chip (inside the vast majority of phones) was designed by a British trans woman: Sophie Wilson. She however did not lose her job when she transitioned back in the 90s. Nobody had to apologise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Wilson Phones are just so woke 😆 |
@RickiTarr She was da boss, rest in peace.
