Good point though, this kind of thing could be flame-bait or it could be a real effect. If the numbers match up and females consistently score lower on exams and problem solving then it may not be a sexist bias so much as a failing in the educational method or testing techniques
If men have better exam scores and men get paid more, that isn't necessarily sexist.
But that wasn't what this study did. This study offered the same set of applications and randomized the gender of the applicants. The resulting disparity is thus entirely attributable to gender bias, i.e. the individual accomplishments of each applicant was overridden by their gender.

Maintaining the network would be impossible. The Taliban (or whoever) just kills the family of whoever is supposed to do the tech work to keep the network up.
So you've cited cases where people doing that might change the voting totals by a few. Where might is "almost certainly not", as there's no evidence it's a problem that exists. But even if it did, the solution to a handful of people voting an extra time is not to stop thousands of people from voting at all. That's just math.
Voter ID laws are voter fraud perpetrated by Republican legislators.
Voter ID laws have no purpose other than preventing poor people from voting. There is no anti-fraud component, because no one intent on changing the outcome of an election would use in-person voting to do it.
For example, why would anyone go through all the trouble of making a fake military ID card from the70's and sending a real person to a precinct to change the voting totals by 1 when they could just send in 1,000 extra absentee ballots?
The biggest source of election fraud is absentee ballots, but Republicans made no effort to reduce that fraud. Why? Because absentee ballot votes favor republicans.
The real fraud is the voter ID laws themselves, because unlike extremely rare in-person voting fraud that might change a voting total by one or two votes at considerable effort, voting ID laws will change voting totals by tens of thousands per state.
What you want a guy who went to automobile trade school and owns at least one performance car he built/maintains himself.
Employers don't have to choose between CS degree OR self-taught. They can choose both - look for people with CS degrees and side projects. Lots of kids I went to school with wrote some other software that had nothing to do with their classwork. And we put that on our resumes.
That's why the whole, "I have a CS degree but I can't get a real job because I don't have experience!" excuse is BS. Anyone worth their salt as a programmer who has a CS degree can MAKE THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE at ANY TIME! When you get home from your call center job, just put down the controller and write some software, and assuming you stick with it, 6 months later you'll have some experience.
It depends what kind of programming you want done. If you have code monkey coding you want done, then maybe you're OK. But if you really want PROGRAMMING done, you want someone who understands the practices. There are many, many, many programming jobs I've been on or needed others to do where correct application of the practices was necessary for a good final product. That's especially true when you're on larger projects where components and/or people need to work together, or on projects where you have data that needs to be associated/manipulated in interesting ways.
Actually, driving below the minimum speed will almost certainly get you pulled over if a cop catches you doing it. Not only is it incredibly not safe, it's also a very good sign you might be drunk or otherwise incapacitated.
There is nothing unsafe about driving very fast on roads designed for driving very fast. You are FAR safer driving on a restricted-access divided highway at 100 MPH than you are driving on a 45 MPH city street with cross traffic, or a country road. Especially now that many states are putting up those cables in the median that prevent cars from getting across into oncoming traffic.
Even the article summary has to grasp for straws in trying to provide a "balanced" summary.... this 85 MPH divided highway is apparently unsafe because.... driving fast on country roads increases fatalities!
But a divided highway is not a country road.
Accidents between two cars going in the same direction at relatively the same speed (+/- 10-15 mph) are rare. It's the car going 35 MPH+ one way that encounters another car going 35 MPH+ in a different direction (hed-on or cross traffic) that kills people. Divided highway fatalities are usually coming up on stopped traffic in fog or at night, or falling asleep and leaving the highway.
One more point to note... if you're going to get in a single-car accident at 65 MPH and hit a pylon or something, you're dead. If you do it at 85 or 90 MPH, you're just REALLY dead. Same difference.
The reasoning behind lower taxes for long term capital gains is that it lowers taxes for rich people, and Republicans support lowering taxes for rich people.
"Encouraging investment in activities that create jobs" is a lie that's used to sell it to those who don't benefit from the tax cut.
And it's obvious that it's a lie, because it is IMPOSSIBLE to encourage investment. *ALL* money gets invested NO MATTER WHAT. If you create a new company, you've invested your money. If you REFUSE to create a new company and just stash your money in a bank account, then the bank will loan that money to someone else who will invest it. It gets invested either way.
About the only way to NOT invest money is to hide it in your mattress, and there is no tax rate short of 100% where it would be preferable to hide your money in a mattress instead of a bank account.
The lower rate is nothing other than a tax break for already having money.
We have the filibuster in the Senate, which prevents anything from getting done until you get a 3/5ths vote, which is tough for any one party to reach.
If your phone can connect to a tower 32,000’ away including all the scattering that buildings cause then there's no reason why it couldn't just because the signal is travelling in a more perpendicular direction with no obstacles.
Cellular antennas are optimized to receive signals in a horizontal "circle" parallel to the ground, so reception above/below a tower is poor.
If you're in the air, you're not connecting to a tower 32,000' below you, you're connecting to a whole bunch of towers 32,000' feet below you and 20+ miles away. Cellular signals will actually go pretty far with clear LOS, although the phone has to up the signal strength quite a bit, which is why a phone with a cellular antenna left on in-flight will burn a ton of battery.
What you are doing is like looking at a history of science book and calling science hyprocritically wrong because Issac Newton's theories are incompatible with Quantum Mechanics.
No, it's like complaining that your science teacher has randomly scored the answers to your test, and when confronted about it, references alchemy when it supports their grading, but ignores alchemy when it refutes their grading.
EVERYONE picks and chooses their sins. Some people MAY choose to pick "all sins as dictated in the Bible", but that's no less "choosing sins" than anyone else. And, I know almost no one who actually selects "all sins as dictated in the Bible" as their sin list. There's some pretty archaic stuff in there.
Homosexual sex is considered a sin in the new testament as is heterosexual sin outside of a marriage as is adultery as is even lusting. So what kind of messed up logic do you people use that a guy fucking another guy up his ass is not immoral but adultery and sex before marriage are?
Under what kind of messed up logic must everyone's moral code be logically consistent with an arbitrarily selected book?
It's wasted effort. Minerals are fungible commodities. Choosing not to buy minerals from a particular source doesn't affect anything, as they just end up being sold to someone else for the same price.
About the only thing efforts like this are good for is PR and raising prices. Programs like this don't have any tangible impact in the conflict areas.
You can absolutely sell the assets of a company without transferring the liabilities. I should know, I've done it twice.
Now, if I sell $1 million in assets to my mother for $1, and then someone sues me, they're going to have a good cause for going after that $1 million. But if I sell $1 million in assets for $1 million, those assets are out of reach of anyone who wants to sue me.

Isn't it interesting that women seem to have more prejudice against equal salary for women, than women do?
Makes perfect sense - while male scientists may suspect female scientists are less qualified, the female scientists know it for sure!
(Note: This post is +1 Funny, not -1 Flamebait.)
That's a consequence of people observing a statistical difference in gender participation and engaging in sexism to eliminate the gender difference.
The big problem with that is you're spending resources not on the people most qualified to be scientists, but simply on the ones with vaginas.
Good point though, this kind of thing could be flame-bait or it could be a real effect. If the numbers match up and females consistently score lower on exams and problem solving then it may not be a sexist bias so much as a failing in the educational method or testing techniques

As a major presidential candidate, he should have less right to privacy than Joe User.
As a major presidential candidate, he has the same RIGHT to privacy.
However, he also has greater CONSEQUENCES for exercising that right - voters may not vote for him if he won't release his tax returns.
Whether his taxes should be released or not is Mitt's decision. Whether people vote for him or not is their decision.

Nobody in first class is scared of the dull stick that the airline attempts to pass off as a "knife".

You seem to be confused about the problem.
The problem isn't that your 3-year-old lost patience at the end of a 6-hour flight.
The problem is that you put a 3-year-old on a 6-hour-flight.
Which does, indeed, make you a rotten person.
Leave 3-year-old home with babysitter or drive.
