Institutional racism exists. But some people believe the solution to racism is the absence of racism, not replacing a racism based on hate with a racism based on pity and condescension.
If there are racist recruiters, there should be little difficulty tracking them down and firing them.
However, if there is racism, it is presumably systemic bias that is inadvertent and unconscious and there is no single person who is actually acting in a prejudiced way. Telling them 'cease and desist' is ineffective.
It's quite conceivable that there is discrimination that is not based on race but only loosely correlated with it, perhaps actually due to income, culture, or command of English, which might or might not be part of a legitimate application process.
Hopefully Harvard has a few people with knowledge of statistics to figure it out.
While not ideologically opposed to automation displacing workers, I'm not usually really enthused about it, especially when it seems to be over fairly modest economic gains.
And I am very impressed with the driving skill of some truck drivers who can negotiate spaces I probably couldn't safely drive a compact car through.
However, I don't see truck driving, or the related services, as being fulfilling careers that people need to get worked up over, and a lot of truck drivers have significant challenges in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
I think it would be helpful to think more in terms of compromises that would result. Self-driving trucks might have a lot of advantages but then taken completely off the roads in for example poor weather. (Of course that happens now if the weather is severe enough, so it's a difference of degree.)
I felt the implied recommendation was a new low for Slashdot.
About 3 minutes of story dragged out over 30 minutes.
(At least, I hope there was a story beyond just a creepy pedophile stalking a child and attempting to murder her legal guardian for reasons I prefer not to try to imagine.)
The funny thing is, with unemployment so high, and call centre work not being intrinsically difficult, companies can hire motivated, people-oriented workers with excellent listening and problem-solving skills and super-friendly personalities. So they do. But the job turns them into the call centre workers we talk to when we call.
you might try not taking part in an ongoing criminal conspiracy
It's *not* "an ongoing criminal conspiracy" until a jury says it is.
It does mean the government was being horribly lazy because they should have had more than enough for a suitable search warrant, but there's certainly nothing the victim should have done differently.
If... you make an ass of yourself over it, whistling at her, making crude remarks to your friends, or making unwanted physical advances, then you are a pervert and a pig.
And men would stop in an instant except that some of the time it works.

Exactly! Put it on top of a rocket filled with tons of fuel - what could go wrong?
Advantage is not a problem. It's just an excuse to avoiding dealing with disadvantage.

Unlike GCHQ, the Queen is subject to the law.

Why settle for an incomplete abomination?
The argument was "There's the slightest chance you might be wrong."
Are you saying that that's true of death penalty trials but magically not true in other trials?
It doesn't deter the people who commit murder. There's no telling how many people who did not commit murder were deterred.
By the same argument no-one should ever spend a single day in jail. The time stolen from them can never be replaced.
It's a nanosecond on the geologic clock.
So is the existence of the human species. Some nanoseconds count.
How do we get "institutionalized sexism" from this?
"[I]nstitutionalized sexism" is the kind that's hard to prove or disprove.

Stretch marks... on a stretched material?
Agile is awesome except when it lacks agility.

That says a lot about the employer.
I'm not a fan of the new trend of naming legislation by the opposite of its purpose.
E.g. Copyright Modernization Act which is about implementing feudalism.
They will train more low wage workers
My guess would be *replace* low wage workers once the robot is sufficiently obnoxious.
The wikimedia markup already does vastly more complicated things.

Those are crimes. All of society has a stake in those.

I can say as a male that i've never felt under-valued
You might not have as much insight into rejection as you think.
project confidence in yourself. You don't have to be that confident, just look at act that way.
Not everyone wants to be dishonest about who they are.
I don't have a masculinity crisis. I'm not very masculine
Perhaps we need a better word than 'crisis'.
