Both those can't be so, unless the "same standard" is minimal.

Way to miss the whole original point. Budding social engineers should do their experiments in such a way that -they- pay the price for failure, not everyone else.

Autocannon rounds aren't rectangular prisms.
"that's merely an opinion."
So, we will thank goodness you're powerless to impose your totalitarian streak.
There exist photos of Buk-style warhead shrapnel, still embedded in the MH17 crew seats.
It's a laughably bad fake ... but speaks volumes about the lack of math or science training amongst reporters to propagate this stuff.
"SUVs and other monstrosities that have no place on roads and inside cities"
Does your totalitarian streak run in the family, or only in your social clique?
Not at all - but you must at least try to say something with good-faith plausibility, to make it worth our time.
That doesn't seem like a productive contribution to the discussion. But assuming you enjoyed the verbal onanism, carry on.

Irrelevant what led them to become bad. The point is that once they're bad, some other good guy needs to stop them.
Right?
A good guy (ideally with a gun) better be closer than 10 minutes.
There have been many mediocre articles on the ACM Queue in the last few years ... this fits perfectly.
... "racial quota is illegal"
So the same monster is simply dressed up in a different costume.
"Everyone wins."
Not the person farther down the Desirable Minority totem pole who was overlooked.
" the company has obligations under Affirmative Action "
"affirmative action" is not an obligation. It is a (poor) choice.
That organization has embodied weaponized identity politics to such an extent that an article quoting them non-ironically deserves dismissal.
"requirements apply to public colleges"
Not "non-profit" ones.
We can't have any pressure on public colleges to stop producing $useless_degree graduates, can we.
"didn't personally want to make his private life so public" somehow clashes with "I'm so proud ..."
"money was taken from you in order to provide yourself a retirement in your old age"
That relationship is only putatively causal. The money taken from "you" has already been spent, several times over.
You might note that it is because of social engineers that taxpayers are paying those transfers in the first place.
no, just meh
Hello, "cynical".
Way to miss the whole original point. Budding social engineers should do their experiments in such a way that -they- pay the price for failure, not everyone else.
I would gladly opt entirely out of the corresponding system here if I only could.
Try that experiment at your own expense, not someone else's.
