There were many millennia of space travel before spice-guided navigators. It was slow and dangerous and there was a good chance you just wouldn't show up at your destination. You couldn't discount the price enough to make up that risk premium and still turn a profit. The government in a sense subsidized the Guild via the prohibitions on certain kinds of scientific research. It wasn't until the Ixians flouted those prohibitions competitive alternative was found, and they also had to assassinate the emperor to make the no-ships commercially viable.
You a) released code to production on a Saturday night, b) doubled traffic, and c) issued an ultimatum to infrastructure teams instead of *negotiating* an SLA change.
Because in criminal law, as opposed to civil law, the public is a party to the case. N. B. criminal cases are tilled "The People vs.". The records of a criminal case show the actions that the State has taken in the name of the People.
A lot of people are crying about how an algorithm cannot have an opinion. However, the people who create the algorithm can and do have opinions and they are the ones judging the classification of the algorithm whose whole purpose is to mechanically apply opinions.
Just because the subjective criteria are applied at a distance does not make them objective, just reproducible.
Bloomberg printing an unsourced rumor does not magically turn it into news. Forbes citing Bloomberg printing an unsourced rumor also does not magically make it news.
" if someone dared suggest a National Center for Men"
All of the existing biased institutions are still there. Once instance of not continuing the existing implicit bias does not mean that all bias is in the opposite direction.
If you don't accept doing anything about that bias and you don't accept any new institutions without that bias than you are supporting the existing bias.
Just because your politics are normative does not mean that you don't have any politics.
No, this would be akin to a community with many soup kitchens that tacitly serve men first and one comes along and says "Why don't we give some soup to women"?
Intersections with that little traffic aren't being proposed for conversion anyway.

Because consumers are not experts on sorting recyclables, and any mistake means the batch of recyclables becomes trash... unless you resort at the recycling facility. If they have to resort anyway, might as well just do all of the sorting that way

"So, they did what made economic sense for them"
So this is bad when a goverment does something that makes economic sense?
"And speaking of debt... last I checked, Greece isn't in the US..."
The debt issue in Greece is the public (government) debt, not private (personal) debt. Also, public debt per capita is about 1/3 more for the US as compared to Greece.

"But of course that won't stop someone with a spreadsheet & a mission from finding a correlation & implying a sinister causation."
You didn't even need a spreadsheet.
'but they have no business "resisting" political decisions'
They do have means, motive, and opportunity.
"we already have a better solution for"
By what criteria are you judging this to be worse that the current method?
"I am sure it is a cool corrective tool to use, but its a crutch. "
From the summary that you could have read yourself: "the MAXFAS has been shown to improve aim even after users have taken it off. "
It is an actual training tool, not a crutch.

What part of this was a mistake that you made?
" And odds are, they will outrank you."
No, the odd are they *are* you.
"since I wasn't actually at fault"
You a) released code to production on a Saturday night, b) doubled traffic, and c) issued an ultimatum to infrastructure teams instead of *negotiating* an SLA change.
Why do you think none of the fault lies with you?
"Why do arrest records have to be public?"

"anyone who's work is disseminated by the government or media today"
The only other category is "people I've never heard of". Hard to trust them either.

It's not like you need a job if you can stay forever in your mom's basement.
"like i want to risk someone dropping my $700 phone"
The subject is people waiving their $700 phones around at the end of a stick. The risk of dropping has already been discounted.
"a Gay Pride Day years ago and celebrating homosexuality in an environment largely dominated by children"
Even worse, they have 364 days per year celebrating heterosexuality in an environment largely dominated by children!

" Because boys tend to be more willing to go against peer pressure"
Facing less pressure does not mean that they are more willing to face pressure.
No, this would be akin to a community with many soup kitchens that tacitly serve men first and one comes along and says "Why don't we give some soup to women"?

"How can a circular roadway be smaller than a simple intersection?"
No turning lanes on the approaches.

The marginal cost by mass is actually pretty low. The main constraint is the cost of putting the plane in the air.
