I agree with what I think is the spirit of what you say, but it's unhelpfully reductive. Many, many people who meet your criteria in fact are severely lacking in executive function. Neurological conditions aside, surely you understand

I don't see how those factors are relevant at all, regardless of the race of the criminal. The problem to address is the lack of transparency. Trying to guess what inputs are being factored in is pointless.

But if all of that is true, the model doesn't change the equation. The problems you outline need to be addressed upstream. Trying to account for and correct them at the point of sentencing is very problematic.

That's the problem with trolling and hyberbole on any subject. People take it at face value and it becomes the popular narrative.

You are mostly speaking of the potential external impact of personal decisions. This is almost completely antithetical to politics. If I'm not proselytizing about Star Trek or even Christianity, there is nothing political about it. Eve

Hard to pick the best nugget to use as I email this to friends, but I like this: "The Strokes recorded Is This It on an old Apple Mac in Gordon Raphael’s basement studio. But it was mastered by Greg Calbi, who also did Born To Run and

Seeing as the post has pretty much disappeared from the site (not in the first 10 pages) only 1 hour later, I'm feeling pretty confident about my assessment of it's quality and contribution.

I think it's perfectly reasonable assumption that the majority of this apps users will be in the US and trying to lose weight. It's fine to want features that aren't there (yet) but it's obnoxious to presume that the dev
