Yeah, yeah, yeah... Pier Paolo Pasolini made a movie about it.

No, the EU is failing. Merkel has spearheaded the importation of millions of people who (along with their descendants) will NEVER thrive in the information economy, and who will accelerate their fiscal demise as their native population ages

The English language is a scalpel. It's more expressive than any other language in history. As far as I'm concerned, the more widespread it becomes, the better.

Crossing the border without a visa is a crime. You do not understand US law.

You can use ALPR to track people who are known to have entered illegally or who have been sentenced to deportation and are avoiding their sentence. Illegal aliens are criminals.

This is the first thing I've read that actually increased my support for the widespread use ALPR technology. Every illegal alien in this country is a criminal, by definition.

Yeah, I was referring to academic editions, and the fact that you have to contort the analogy proves how stupid the argument you're making is.

More like selling soda bottles on Amazon, which also sells copies of the Turner diaries and Mein Kampf. You should really lighten up.

What's the point of this? Like, what can you do with this elaborate setup that you could not do already with your laptop + internet connection?

Most Hacker News readers are liberal (judging by the comments). And it seems like most Hacker News readers are disgusted by this news. What every liberal person who read this article with disgust needs to realize is that THIS IS THE LIBERAL

If you look at the Quillet article someone linked to above, most of the high-performing Asians who ace the SHSAT are low-income, so your generalization makes no sense whatsoever in the context of de Blasio's plan.

Provide some recent examples of bias on tests.

by iosDrone 8y ago
I was under the impression that the test-makers have scrupulously avoided culturally-biased questions for decades, and yet left-leaning people casually continue tossing it around as part of their war on merit.

Can you provide some examples of cultural bias? People almost never provide examples. I thought that was always a bullshit excuse, especially considering that these test scores closely track IQ scores.

It will be ruled unconstitutional within two years. The way to stop discrimination based on race is to stop discriminating based on race.

I can't wait for affirmative action to become unconstitutional.

Wow, that is insane. Hope this gets distributed widely to Google Cloud decision-makers.

I really have a hard time coming up with a field outside of pro sports that is more meritocratic than tech. The assault on that in the name of "diversity" is morally repulsive, and I'll be very happy to see racial discriminat

Fair enough. This is just what I've heard second-hand, so I definitely don't have any data to back it up. I may try it out.

That's not what was widely reported.

What I'm most excited about with Kennedy's replacement is seeing affirmative action finally get the axe. Many, many people think that the erosion of meritocracy is a bad thing even for the groups it's intended to benefit.

Can you clarify how he "led a brigade." Point me to an example where he encouraged his followers to say derogatory things?

by iosDrone 8y ago
Is this even up for discussion? Whatever you think of him, Milo Yiannopoulos got banned because HIS FOLLOWERS made derogatory statements about an actress. (edit: spelling)

I thought the knock against backblaze is that (compared to Google or Amazon), uploading large amounts of data to it is very slow.
