You willfully misunderstand this. Present day definition of racism is anchored on discrimination based on inherent traits. Therefore it follows that if you perform genetic testing for employment you will be discriminating based on these inherent traits. The only difference is that typically these traits were limited to visible characteristics and now we have technology to look for underlying genetic markers.
That is, saying that you won't hire people with slanted eyes is not categorically different from saying that you won't hire people without X,Y,Z genetic markers associated with high intelligence and achievement. If you take this to logical conclusion, this means that the only way to not be racist is to completely discard the idea of baseline ability and instead benchmark individual's achievements over his or her own starting baseline.
I hope we're in an emergency together, so I can murder you justifiably for my own survival. No doubt you won't mind, that's just your acceptable outlook on things.
Other people will bullshit you about this, but this is the only reasonable thing to do. Darwin long since took care of anyone who doesn't think this way.
Sounds logical to me. Otherwise, why would I pay Mercedes-Benz to save other people? I am not an altruist and don't inspire to be one in life&death situations.
Twitter hasn't turned into a SJW shithole that even attacks mainstream liberals are SJWs.
The value was destroyed because Twitter culture deviated from mainstream communication tool to politically and ideologically driven bandwagoning tool. People might not care if some alt-right figures got banned for whatever or lack of whatever reasons, but they do care that they might end up on a receiving end of SJW lynch mob for twitting the wrong thing while under influence.
Think of it this way - you have a favorite pub where you go to chat with your friends. Then suddenly you notice that every time you go there, someone taking notes about your conversations. Then you see some people getting violently kicked out based on such notes. Would you go to such pub to chat or go elsewhere?
H-1B abuse like this is one of many reasons why some people feel that their only choice is to vote for Trump's insanity. Desperate people do desperate things.
"The information requested asked for "all documents -- specifically memos, email correspondence, and budgets -- around the development, release, and public reception of the FBI's Slippery Slope game."
This is a lot of information, maybe it would make sense to ask for a budget and a list of developers instead?
Samsung marketing must be on fire after every US airline on every flight asks passengers to put away their Galaxies. You couldn't possibly increase brand awareness and establish lasting image more than that.
Lets hope 4chan stays afloat, because otherwise 4chan posters will be dispersed throughout other sites and communities. Like a cyst bursting into bloodstream.
I think that the stock markets might crash if that happened.
Not if we do it correctly. If everyone is dead, but trading algorithms left running then likely markets will be sustained and our investments will be safe.
Yes, Trump is an outsider and that appeals to me. I too would like to see controlled demolition of the existing political system. What has me greatly concerned about Trump is his ego-driven irrationality. While he isn't malicious when he left to his devices, he can be easily goaded into doing fundamentally stupid and destructive things. He couldn't even contain himself for the duration of a debate, now multiply this by 4 years and they will write about this in 4000AD in books about the fall of American Empire and collapse of Second Western Civilization.
Sure pal, your suggestion will probably work even better. I have an Arab-looking neighbor with a very nice TV, if I rat him out I can probably beat others to looting that TV after they take him away.

DNA testing is inherently racist, as genetic traits are heritable and are associated with your ethnic/genetic background.
The Samsung on fire jokes are 2016 equivalent to (*&(#$[LOST CARRIER]

On the contrary, I find the notion of a smart fridge sending out, in addition to storing, spam rather industrious.
Consumers get all the security they are willing to pay for.

This could have been a simple battery recall if they still used removable batteries.

If you don't like it, then don't test in California.
Pfft, and they said the geek community was sexist.
They probably said that the geek community was sexy and you simply overheard.
Don't get trolled by obvious trolls.

Instead of glorifying mass murder and the most brutal engines of destruction.
This part of our history will serve us well when we encounter other species.
This deplorable lack of self-confidence is common in Muslim countries. In the West we think it's laughable.
Your micro-aggression against Muslims triggered me. Check your privilege, this is no laughing matter!
why should we help them stay afloat?

Of course, we can't have any of these takers get in the way of progress.

I got it covered. I already have a list of suspected communist sympathizers I am going to hand-deliver on the first day. It is easy living from there.
Don't think the AC has to worry. The ones that swear fealty to the leader are usually safe in an authoritarian regime.
I, for one, would like to be the first to welcome our drone-killing Trump overlord.
One cannot record billion dollar loss without having a billion dollars worth of assets at one time.
It is just like RIAA 'piracy damages' valuations, so yes you can record loss much larger than market valuation of assets at any time.
I don't know if I've seen so many points expended to suppress both sides of an argument.
Shows that /. moderation system works rather well. No side was able to stack this story with +5.
