It’s not like there’s no precedent for this. Look at all the rules WeChat was able to ignore due to their size and influence. I assume Elon expected a similar treatment for Twitter.

There’s actually a very interesting 1995 research paper that studied the relationship between SAT scores and race and family income. In every single money bracket white and Asian students outperformed URMs. Perhaps most surprisingly white s

At the end of the day the only real solution to the problem of inequity/representation will end up being hard quotas that roughly maintain a demographic balance at top institutions. At that point you can make most competition intra-rac

Cloudflare can do whatever it wants but I wish they were honest about it. The claim that there has been some “dangerous escalation” in the past 2 weeks is nonsense. If anything the owner has been monitoring the thread more proactively and m

It also helps that Qatar (along with the UAE and Kuwait) provide hefty benefits to married couples for marriage and childbirth. Emirati and Qatari women have almost 50% more children than Saudi women despite cultural similarities because th

This definition is so broad you can basically classify anything you don’t like as “cultural appropriation” depending on how loosely you define “minority”, “majority” and “context”. And in fact that’s what usually ends up happening. Certain

Was Hindu (I assume that’s the original language for which Indo-Arabic numerals were made for) written right to left ? I know Arabic was but I don’t think Indian languages ever have been.

In some left-wing circles anti-Americanism and anti-imperialism are indistinguishable. People like Max Blumenthal are the perfect representatives of this ideology.

I mean his is the quintessential “both-sides” take that pushes (younger) people to be “unsure” about who they support, no? Russia is bad, but so is Ukraine and NATO, too. Russia is bad but Ukraine does have a Nazi problem. People like him a

Most younger people are quite skeptic of mainstream media so they don’t trust the narrative CNN and Fox News are trying to sell them.With the elderly it’s the opposite. Further, most of the elderly lived at a time when the USSR was the cle

Thats a feature, not a bug. Israel will probably become the first democratic country were “outbreed them” was a successful political strategy. The ultra orthodox are a solid voting block That currenty controls 15 out of the 120 seats in the

Ultra orthodox women in Israel have the highest life expectancy and a negligible child mortality rate but they’re having more kids than any African country. Oman is a fairly developed country and they have twice as many kids per woman compa

In homogenous societies like japan, Sweden, and Denmark it usually leads to a lot of ethnic contradictions once the immigrant population passes a certain threshold. Once has to wonder whether it’s healthy when more than 50% of your populat

Isn’t luxury the only thing that’s even allowed to be built in most NIMBY cities? Try building large “market-rate” housing in Palo Alto and see what happens (even within the confines of their already ridiculous zoning laws).

A certain Middle Eastern nation has infiltrated the US government far more successfully than China could ever dream of, and they barely hide it.

Race can and is absolutely gamed all the time. Case in point: Senator Elizabeth Warren. Just because it can be gamed doesn’t mean it’s not a good metric

This is 100% the case when I was looking for a VPN recommendation. So many of the Reddit threads were blatantly astroturfed.

It really is a Talibanesque situation unfolding in Yemen. It’s interesting because by all accounts they (Houthis) control most of the population centers of the country despite ostensibly representing the Shia minority that only constitutes

This is mostly true if you come from certain nationalities and/or places. Arabs and people from the Balkans have a bad reputation because they are seen as sources of crime and or violence in the traditionally quaint Swiss society.

Interesting that it’s the opposite in Judaism. A child of a Jewish mother and a Zoroastrian father would belong to both religions.

It’s interesting because “destroy whiteness” was and is a popular talking point in certain circles or the left. Obviously they don’t literally mean destroy white people but as always the benefit of the doubt is extended to them but “destroy

This would never be allowed in America. the notion of “merit” in the US is associated with white supremacy and the idea that you can divide kids by their skills/grades will get you in trouble, especially if you do it that early. If fo

You are getting downvoted but in 2021 that’s precisely who is having the most children in developed countries. If you look up birth rates by income bracket the trend is clear: poor people and broken homes birth more children than wealthier
