Are you implying "anti racist discrimination" is justified by your quote? I agree with your quote, but it is not supportive of Kendi's quote in the slightest. To discriminate is to "unjustly treat categories of people", so if someone is acting racist and you don't tolerate them, that is not discrimination at all because you are judging them for their actions, not their looks.

I'm guessing not all hypotheses receive the same interest or funding to begin with. Definitely seems to be a selection bias on what actually gets funded/studied. Even worse, when they withhold results they don't like from being published.

Weight should absolutely be a factor in registration fees. Between road damage, their environmental cost, and danger they pose it's a no brainer.

"The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination"

Im not saying that didn't happen but it's very surprising, I never experienced that in Seattle. In Seattle academia/institutions, theu usually doubled down on diversity rhetoric, and I've yet to see anyone push back on it.

Do Israeli institutions not have mechanisms to dismiss officials who vocalize rhetoric like this?

QA could use some unionizing across the software/game industry imo.

It's amazing how buggy websites of billion dollar companies are. They either don't have a QA team or don't prioritize any of the bugs they file. If I were still in that field I'd probably team up with some litigious ADA lawyers.

Harvards cs50 I believe has"the missing lecture" that talks about deployments and other activities surrounding programming.

If you want to learn how to make web apps you want to make sure the course includes deployments. Or get a specific course on the cloud platform you want to learn.

What city were you in?

This is blatantly false and borderline fear mongering.

Why dont the surrender? That's what you do when you are utterly defeated and don't want more people to die.

My library offers $7 worth of printing free each week with your Library. I am curious how many households actually still have printers these days.

Sms has been god awful since the beginning, both the standard and the business implementation. Remember bullshit pricing models for texts? 10center per text over your limit. Even today, the standard hasn't kept up with modern times.

So then it seems completely absurd signal is "not interested" in allowing any integration. They could just notify their users communications with WhatsApp users are unsecure.

Let's put strip clubs up there too.

This isn't a rebuttal, I don't have one, but some nuance I hope is appreciated.

I looked at the studies a while back and read some discussions on the validity of them. I'll summarize what I recall. many people were misrepresenting them quite a bit. The people quoting this number often aim to shed cops in a bad light and will do so intentionally.

If I recall, 40% is the domestic violence coming from either member in the household. Not just the police officer.

Another thing was what the offers reported as violence. if I recall correctly "violence" could be defined as raising your voice to behaving violently. So I suppose that leaves room for some interpretation. But when the numbers are brought up, the claim is generally "40% of cops are wife beaters".

Lastly, these were studies from the 90s and the researcherd generally did their studies on a single urban police departments. So old data and not representative sample.

I don't trust the number at all with the data we have. The actual rate could be higher or lower, we need better data.

My memory could also be way off.

Looked like raw hamburger meat to me.

They are prioritizing things deemed necessities.

Odds are you aren't going to be reincarnated as a white person though. Seems like they would cut the shit out the first time they are reincarnated as something different.

That's not common anymore.
