French Territory, so they fall under french taxation agreements. If they were truly independent with an independent armed force to protect it, they could legitimately set up a business tax haven island that could attract billions.
UCLA did this. They wanted to be more "inclusive" so they got a lot more blacks and hispanics to enroll. Guess what? The had way more diversity enrollment, but embarrassingly the same graduation rate for those minorities. What is the takeaway? You can pull the kids from the ghetto and put them in college, but you can't make them learn. They have never learned how to learn so they suffer against classmates who know how to study and grasp concepts.
The solutions that universities have come up with are to create bullshit curriculums for minorities so they can graduate in/something/. This includes bullshit courses in women's studies, the trans track and black history. There is no academic rigor in these tracks and they often can be completed in a week with packet work. UNC was busted for these easy tracks by the NCAA because they were vehicles for getting dumb black athletes through with grades high enough to play athletics. The only way UNC escaped disqualification is that the courses/could/ be taken by anybody, but no serious student would spend their money on that shit.
By driving up poor people admissions (read: ethnic), the universities get to pat themselves on the back for job well done. But they won't talk about attrition of those students or their grades or level of rigor in their tracks (if they make it through). This is just a big marketing scheme to say "look, we care more".
How long before an idiotic celebrity buys the sudan meteorite diamonds to put into a ring to demonstrate their eternal and undying love to another idiotic celebrity 2 years before the inevitable divorce?
So, we're back to classic late 90's-style Napster math are we? With the logical fallacy that if the person downloaded it, they would have bought it had they not been able to obtain it illegally.
'Toxicity', 'Problematic'... these are code words for feeling-hurting speech. They're asking how they can have a kumbaya and a feeling-fest? Well, obviously, make it non-anonymous first. Then make people have to verify their identity to join and post, then finally make them show their democratic voting card.
Oh, wait, if you make people actually verify themselves on Twitter, that would wipe out 70% of the accounts and expose the over-inflated user counts that Twitter boasts to it's investors.
You can't have your cake and eat it too Twitter.
...will be relived that they're starting to reign in that act. Somebody go back in time and call off the suicide - he would have only had to spend a few years, not what he was sentenced.
Can someone explain how the light gets 'absorbed'? Does it turn into heat? I'm interested in what happens to the photon as it's getting bounced around in the feather.
In the past year, Iâ(TM)ve read stories about while towns in China getting cancer due to pollution, toxic foam floating around in India, and serious birth defects in humans and animals in both of those countries.
The problem is orders of magnitude larger there than in the US. Because of this, China and India are great test beds for human evolution because those are the places with the highest levels of environmental pressures. We could see species adaptions there that donâ(TM)t exist anywhere else.
I say let cops use that data in court. It will only hurt the privacy of stupid criminals like this black guy they mentioned in the article.
The smart criminals will understand they use this data and send their phone elsewhere to form an alibi. The logic has to work both ways and as soon as cops start getting gamed, they'll rely less on this tactic.
âMicro aggressionsâ(TM)? Somebody is in his ear about his straight talk (aka speaking truth to power). He doesnâ(TM)t need to be shamed for being honest. There was noting intellectually dishonest with his statements and the research that backed them. He was being genuine and the perpetually offended got offended.
The autism doesnâ(TM)t matter. He shouldnâ(TM)t have mentioned it because weakens his original paper as some sort of apology. Donâ(TM)t apologize, man. They are living in an alternative sjw reality which is far away from the meritocracy you and many of us expected them to be.
Interesting thing about the US is that the mother would be due child support from the actor. Someone doesnâ(TM)t have to be biological, married or even adopt the kid to be nailed with the judgement. If the court sees a father figure in the kids life, thatâ(TM)s all that is required (see: judgements against non-biological ex-boyfriends)
Bullshit x3:
#1 - If minorities are requesting less pay, then pay them less. Don't create an artificial structure that pays them more assuming they ask for less. This creates entitlement and is bullshit.
#2 - Ah, so you've got a blanket racist comment that assumes that all management is white and doesn't mingle with the coloreds. Complete bullshit.
#3 - Nobody thinks that way. As a white, I'm not going to get judged because a white guy shot up Vegas. As a black man, you're not going to be judged because 3 black men gang raped a white girl. Same thing inside the job. José screws up the conveyor belt doesn't mean that the manager is going to put all hispanics on his shit list. Total bullshit.

This is the cuecat of movie watching. How much can you give away hoping to become the monopoly while theaters just wait for you to die?

So, instead of addressing the problem they combat a solution. Classic politics.

I don't need to read any further comments. You win.

Has Netcraft confirmed? Or is this just clickbait... yeah, I think it's the latter.

If I tattoo "DO NOT RAPE" and sign it on my ass will that save me at the local 'pound me in the ass' prison?

Quicksilver on OSX with its extensiblity and key learning is still better than spotlight.

In other news, an airport security presenter was extremely embarrassed when plugging in his USB stick to find 32gb of child porn.
If Shia Labeouf were on the plane, 4chan could have found it in less than 24 hours.
Yeah, we as techies expect a meritocracy in the workplace, not a skin color lottery.

The equations all balance except for a remainder. The One. They just don't have the universal precision to find this singular imbalance.
Google has already bowed to that crowd and IS that crowd. Have you learned nothing from the James Damore speaking truth to power incident?
