This is really about pushing unqualified minority females in the tech industry into engineering positions. Wait til you have to work for one of these dummies.

Yeah, I'm cynical too. If this was really true, most likely it would have been in use by 1970 or so. I've known about "supercaps" and the principle behind this since I first played around with electronics kits in the 1970's. It was neat to charge up big capacitors to see how long it took to make a LED glow, but it lasted only a few seconds and the brightness went down fast. If this is true, I will admit I was wrong and stand corrected, but at best, there is a very limited use for this and worst, shenanigans.

Though I have worked with some fine female engineers. The female engineers that came through diversity pushes are godawful. I’m not saying I haven’t worked with my share of godawful male engineers, but the difference is if a male engineer sucks, you simply get rid of him. The diversity hire has kryptonite shielding, and the only way to get her out of the field is to promote her to another department.
