Well in msst places, an ethics test doesn't tell how well you'd do on the job, but some places it does, such as security guard at a jewelry store or any position in the Trump White House. Of course, those different positions would demand different grades on the ethics test.
Look at sports teams. Baseball can hire the best people at each position, and there isn't much teamwork involved compared to football or basketball. Football with a salary cap means you can't just hire the best at each position, but shoot there's enough evidence that prima donnas don't work together very well in both football and basketball.
It does seem like a mathematician could use Moneyball-style stats to prove his rant.
Thank God there's a lot of water pouring over the edge because there's a shitload of turtles standing down there on each other's backs. And they all need water.
You're right to be worried.
Every horny 15-year-old girl on the internet is actually a 44-year-old male cop from Hoboken.
You've got to be blind to a lot more than just faces to be fooled.
It's a spectrum, not on or off. About like real blindness. I'm not faceblind per se, but I'm nearsighted in that ability, that's for damn sure.
On the other end, there are some folks who are super-identifiers. Police departments have spent some time identifiying the naturals they have and getting those folks to watch surveillance videos. It's amazing who they can pick out.
I'm that way with colors, too. I see colors, but don't remember them or 'see' them while remembering. We have 3 bathrooms in our house and I've told my wife several times to use the names: mine, guest, or kids bathroom, not blue, yellow or green bathroom because I cannot remember which color goes with which bathroom. And I built them and painted them and use them most every day..
I think I tend to face blindness. Always have to ask my wife if that acress is someone famous or not. OTOH, I'm a musician and can tell differences in voices easily and have more than once identified some actor by his voice when my wife cannot identify the actor at all (makeup and hair and all that other stuff).
To paraphrase a presidential quote: Who would have thought battery technology would be so hard?
or Who would have thought ramping up production would be so hard?
I'm not sure about the rubber bullets but in Florida, you can buy a handgun or assault rifle but protective Mace is banned because you can use it to assault someone.
The Pentagon is warning us about a new weapon enemies have. Good way to get funding.
Kind of the same way antivirus companies sell lots of software during a new scare.
Culturally (at least in the West), women seem pressured to only wear formal wear once whereas a guy can wear the same suit for the rest of his life and not be judged. It's pretty silly (and wasteful)
What's even weirder is that women _buy_ their wedding dress even tho they'll only ever wear it once, whereas men _rent_ a tuxedo even tho there will probably be future occasions when they'll need to rent another one exactly like it.
They probably do have more evidence.
The reasonable doubt is what a jury uses, not a police investigator and not even a prosecutor. A prosecutor looks at the likeliness of a jury granting reasonable doubt to the entire prosecution argument.
There's a reason the police started looking at this guy in particular in the first place. Most people are killed by family and acquaintances, not by complete strangers.
Speed versus boarding. That's _the_ fundamental trade-off and is why Elon's fabulous hyperloops and the monorails don't 'work' so well. If all you care about is speed and elegance, they work fine. If you want to actually move hundreds of thousands of people, the people have to get on and off.
Explore the limits. Imagine an infinitely fast city bus. How much time does it actually save over the entire route?
It takes just about as long to drive from Denver, Colorado to Lincoln, Nebraska as far as the _entire_ trip is concerned. From door to door, how long does it take to fly someplace (adding in security and taxis and stuff).
Hyperloops and monorails are only competitive with airplanes and because of construction costs of rails, they aren't competitive.
If you are thinking of getting knee surgery without having an actual accident, here's an idea. Have them x-ray/mri/cat scan _both_ knees and then send both pix to a different doc and have that doc tell you which knee hurts. (There are cuts and tears on both of them). If he can't, don't to the surgery.
This is a simple variation of the null hypothesis. If you only x-ray the knee that hurts, any tears you find are 'obviously' the problem.
search for 'sham knee surgery' for more experiments.
News flash: people who understand how things we read and buy in real life actually work are more resistant to conspiracy theories than those who think everything is mystical and non-understandable.
By the way, for all the folks who think fake news is new, The National Enquirer (of batboy and living Elvis fame) has always been more popular than the NY Times of the Washington Post. Racism, tribalism and idiocy aren't new this millinium.
Shoot, about 75% of the stuff I see are things like this:
Apple will lose xxx share...click here for the details
New campaign to take down xxxx politician, click for the details
and on and on. Click bait, to get people to go to a website, in order to run up the
click count, so the website can charge more for advertising.
Well I have never been on Facebook. I only use the regular world-wide web.
But it doesn't sound like there's much difference;-)
Does one have more porn than the other?
For example, Christian preachers can say you're going to burn in hellfire for eternity if you don't tithe or discriminate correctly, but that isn't termed 'hate speech.'
And for people who desire a rational, scientific society, lying is the most despicable thing you can do.
No it isn't. It is how old platforms die. They get taken over by the long-timers who have grown old and stale and no longer enjoy the medium and they end up repelling newbies, rehashing the arguments they enjoy with each other and telling everyone else, "Asked and answered. RTFM"

It doesn't fucking matter whether you implement a moderation system or not. Old-timers with bad attitudes tend to take over unless you have a moderation system that doesn't reward length of "service." But that's hard to do. In meatspace (real-life for you n00bs), there is this thing called reputation and it's very important for figuring out how reliable someone is.
Sounds to me like Tesla has totally disrupted its own market. No super-charge for you, freeloader. As sson as stories of being locked out from a charger start twitting themselves around the web, there will be a moderate backlash.

I think there's already data.

So you're saying we could cut out a major source of greenhouse-gas emissions by just going naked all the time?
Our friends north of the 60th might have a problem with that...
Only for a few more decades until the glaciers melt.

I always thought C was the perfectly average programming language.
But it's really, really, really fast. So fast we can even process data sooner than we check for privilege. It's awesome.

Actually, I think OCD has been declassified as a disorder. Now it's just part of a spectrum of behavior.
Many of the afflicted refer to it as CDO with the acronym in alphabetical order the way it is _supposed_ to go.

Determining what is hate speech is difficult.
For example, Christian preachers can say you're going to burn in hellfire for eternity if you don't tithe or discriminate correctly, but that isn't termed 'hate speech.'
