I don't get why they don't use lotteries. Have a grade cutoff, then choose at random. You should get unbiased results. The remaining bias is grade bias which would reflect poor schools and their corellation with ethnicity. Which w

The issue isn't fakes, it's the fact over medication is a real problem. Thank heavens that where I live drug advertising is illegal. After a visit to the US and encountering the brainwash machine of drug companies I realized just

So they'll drop it on the driver?! The whole setup was an accidental waiting to happen. Uber executives should be held responsible or this will happen again and again.

I wonder if this shipping fees asymptote is the reason Amazon never shows me shipping rates until the last possible moment in the checkout process. That drives me crazy. They don't even show me if the item ships to my country until I

Why do you consider 170000 law abiding citizens as potential suspects? That's an extremely paranoid approach to law enforcement, especially when according to basic criminal law, these citizens are supposed to be considered innocent by

It seems Google is more sensitive to false positive than false negative because of their very good compensation and the relative high demand for Google jobs + the unbalanced high costs of a false positive. At their scale they can afford pla

I think the problem is market economy. Media organizations are businesses which are organisms that focus on the bottom line. I.e. making as much money as possible. Usually the only way to fix these market failures ( I consider this dissona

I don't see anything about nationalistic sentiment in that wiki page. Still I have no idea why you replied to my comment in the first place. It had nothing to do with what I posted. It's good for you that you like genz, but maybe

Claiming something is based literally means it's based on something. That something is usually expected to be some fact or some research. If that something is just your opinion, than it's misleading to use the term based. The who

I never said sovereign states aren't a good idea. I believe they are, but I also believe the nationalistic sentiment is a double edged sword. But all of this has nothing to do with my comment. The point was, You fire off with unbased c

I believe the title is clickbatey. The article clearly states that only 2% of affected devices were in Iran, while the Lion's share was in the US. Could someone fix this?

How is that legal? Microsoft took on antitrust lawsuits for bundling its browser with its OS. This seems much worse.

Huh? In what way is it biased? I'm sure that if China wants talent to come, then they should be happy about this free publicity.

This is wrong. So wrong , money really blinds. The idea of for profit prisons is an abomination, giving incentives for increasing the amount of incarcerated people is crazy and sad. It is also asking for corruption.
