What do you think happens when you dehumanize people and deplatform them? Do you think they disappear? No, they who perceived themselves as persecuted now, actually persecuted, congregate elsewhere into louder and louder echo chambers. Your solution seems to be a game a wack-a-mole which would only serve to radicalize people with each attack.
You have people living in regions that are at a subsistence level and have been since the dawn of time. You pipe in water and give them food and then in a few generations you have 1000x as many people in that region. As soon as you get bored maintaining everything for them, or have some situation in your own homeland that precludes it, you have drought, famine and starving people. Best case is a huge refugee crisis that you're unequipped to handle because the people are now a population greater than the population of your benevolent country.
This seems very strange to me. Foreign powers have been "meddling" in US elections for forever. We do it as well. The Saudis for example tend to make significant donations to advocate for the candidates they want... Trolling is not a crime is it? Also the supreme court has ruled the money is speech so should as well be protected -though I am not one to think the constitution applies to non-citizens.
I'm sorry but there is quite a bit of evidence that plastics are harmful. Even looking only at BPA free plastics that everyone insists on thinking they are making a health conscious decision... there is mounting evidence that they are just as harmful. one example bpa-free-plastics-are-just-as-harmful
I'd assume they would monitor the trucks with ground or possibly aerial resources either drone or not in order to lethally counter any threat. What seems strange to me is that the lead vehicle is manned. This seems the opposite of the approach you would want to take if concerned about IEDs...
It is fairly trivial to locate studies comparing cancer rates in developed countries with those of people living in more natural environments. one example
Agreed. While possible that a centigrade shift in temperature played a role it seems unlikely.. More likely would be agriculture in the area and the accompanying use of heavy amounts of pesticides and herbicides. We keep a lot of bee hives where I live and I know we try to talk to the surrounding farms around us to ask them not to spray over the fields when plants are in bloom. One careless farmer within a few miles can kill half our bees. Seems pretty lazy to attribute to climate change when there are so many other likely factors. It's also the least desirable contributor to the problem because if it is the primary reason... there's nothing those poorer countries can do. I would want to be very sure before attributing it to climate change because it seems to me almost an apologist position.
Exactly. This may be dressed up as some incompetent attempt to deter foreign interference but one needs only to look at polls.. like this image to understand the real motivation.
I'm sure this is a troll but 97% or thereabout of corporate media coverage on Trump is negative so... I'd expect any search engine to reflect that whatever that companies particular political affiliation.
I would imagine the suggestions are a result of activities of the Bing use rbase. If Bing suggests these topics it is because previous users have made similar grouped searches and clicked those links. Therefore, odds are that even if offensive to many, any given user is more likely than not to find those suggestions or links useful. I'm not saying they shouldn't alter the results, only that the results then would be more "aspirational" than truly reflective of the needs of their user base.
A car loan can usually be financed at between 2-4%. For a 60k car.. you're essentially talking about an extra $100 a month or so at most. This is nothing. You'd be better off using that money to finance investments like perhaps a rental home, rolling it back into your business or something along those lines.
Unfortunately that very low selective pressure is unlikely to counterbalance the fact that EV driving couples probably have a fertility rate of about 0.8
We are not all just people. We're people of different races and those races build societies that reflect their own prejudices. Europeans (even Scandinavians) have an larger preference for individuality. Chinese and Japanese have the opposite preference for conformity. There are strengths and weaknesses to both societies but trying to equate the US treatment of their citizens to the Chinese treatment of their citizens in terms of respect for individual sovereignty... you're not even in the same ballpark -even comparing the US today to modern China or the US 50 years ago to modern China.
Verizon and Verizon Wireless recently merged together. The non-union employees all fall under the "managers" label as well. There's a lot of redundancy at the moment. I'm sure much of it is just normal bureaucracy but much is just a result of the merger.
Fine.. then why not automate it poorly so that it runs excessive CPU cycles and waits for input occasionally preferably through an HTTP get so you can hit it from your phone while in the break room? You're still performing better than the other employees.
Even progressive economists acknowledge that raising the minimum wage has an inflationary effect. I've not heard a serious discussion that this isn't the case. The pro arguments I have heard have always been that the effect is relatively small compared to the gain. I don't really disagree. Cheap goods are a rationale for a lot of bad practices walmart crap goods etc.
Eh, fascination with systems and ideas are traits that skew to males. This will lead to imbalances in scientific disciplines.... Attempts to artificially adjust these for equity will only lead to injustices against more qualified individuals. I don't understand how people can continue to pretend that biological differences between the sexes stop at the brain. There are really great female physicists but not of an equal number to males. Unless you have some sort of agenda this shouldn't be seen as bad thing. The diversity in interests among the genders is a strength for our species is it not?
Yeah pretty much... being an EU commissioner with the stated goal of enforcing equal outcomes among genders across all areas of society is pretty much some of the best internet troll bate imaginable. I really despise the tone of most communication on social networks so I'm not defending it but it was certainly predicable.
Legally in the US this is the case but more and more these well intentioned laws, even the civil rights act seem like they're these awkward heuristics that disagree fundamentally with the way the world works to such an extent that when enforced they have the opposite of intended effect. They erode communities and damage relations between people. It seems crazy to question them at first but when you begin thinking about them carefully, more and more it is the laws that begin to seem crazy.

Political views are something you choose, so they can never be a protected category
Unlike gender?

Lacking mod points I'll just post. This ^

Personally I go the pro-environment/ethno-nationalist/anti-war route. It gives me opportunity to get yelled at by basically the entire population.

It's safe to say that if I go to bing and search for "Jewish" that I probably don't want pro-Nazi propaganda.
Apparently, odds are that you do.

You could use your same argument to say that a cli only version of Debian installed is not "linux" but instead the "GNU userland". Seems silly.

If I'm paid to dig a hole for the next year and handed a shovel it seems perfectly fair for me to bring my own excavator and take care of it in a day.
