U.S. companies with power to shut off the communications of the U.S. President doesn't worry you?

No, only if you've decided you have a good reason to discriminate. ;)

Regulations are based on duly-passed legislation.

Interesting. No, I hadn't seen that post. There seems to be some confusion in the research as to how this is happening. Personally, I think returning more autonomy to physicians would be a generally good idea, but I have no evidence it would help address this particular issue. I think the...

"Blacks are more likely than whites to be poor," yes, but let's not interpret that inaccurately. In total numbers, more whites are poor than blacks, and there is greater poverty in rural than urban areas. For example, see one article from PBS: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/six ...

Hmm I worked in manufacturing for years with women and men, and you're wrong. Sixty-hour weeks were normal, including weekends, and we worked rotating shifts (first, second, third, each shift for six weeks), and women worked alongside the men. I never noticed a difference. Also, retail and food...

I think you're thinking in terms of what your own requirements for such an algorithm would be. As far as I can tell, the requirements were actually that the algorithm help reduce cash bail overall and especially (if possible) in black communities.

Give it time and the fortune will be "worth less than a pizza" again.

It's what they're taught to do.

They broke the Constitution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ITT: a lot of wishful thinking about what constitutes "entrapment" and "prosecutorial misconduct."

Lost my religion. Long story.

Thank you for the advice. I'm not so concerned about getting up to speed -- I've always been quick to pick up things -- as about getting my foot in the door. Maybe I'm overthinking things, but I find it hard to imagine too many bosses looking at my present resume and not tossing it.

No. I was advised to go ahead and apply to seminary without the BA, and got in.

So here I am, 42 years old, having quit my career a while ago to go to college (for non-tech-related studies), then marrying and staying home with the babies -- but it's getting boring and we could use more income. Honestly, I've never felt like myself since leaving tech work. I want my career...

You're missing some key historical information. For one thing, women were agitating for social change a century or more "before women could even vote." (For example, 'A Vindication of the Rights of Woman' was written in 1792.) Also, you seem unaware that it was automatic to award the children to...

They look at it as a "twenty-year-lesson" for the public.

Another interpretation of the study: When people think they are being fucked with, they have recourse to the tools at hand.
