I see what you're saying, but it's just a bit naive. It's not that easy to create a new provider to help political dissidents. A number of web services have been started to do so, and forced to shut down by being cut…
It's ok to go after the free speech of political dissidents if you slander them with generic insults first?
Chase Bank shuts down prominent conservatives https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/04/chase-bank-conservati... AirBnB seeks out and blocks people going to the American Renaissance conference…
Doesn't seem to matter, since that comment is getting downvoted as well. I guess technologists don't want to see the future they're creating, and would rather just come up with tactics that barely defend against the…
If you think this story is limited to, or even about, political correctness, you are mistaken. It could be your insurance rates going up for jaywalking, even with no cars around. It could be your credit score dropping…
It's the year 2027. You get a notification from the H8Watch™ by the ADL app, default installed on every phone, and can't be deleted without jailbreaking. You open the notification, and it shows a video of you from 2…
An oft-overlooked aspect of Fahrenheit 451 is that it's everyday people that report others to the firemen in the book, very similar to how content is censored these days. Goodreads will list any book for the time being,…
You seem to have a problem with reading comprehension, but I'll respond anyway. The idea that all people are equal is false. It's not a logical conclusion, all scientific evidence is contrary to the idea, and looking at…
My travels have left me as an anti American cultural imperialist. Liberal capitalism destroys cultural diversity and replaces unique traditions with cheap mass product.
Out of curiosity, would you be ok with a non-citizen Japanese person lecturing you on why Americans are bad because they don't have the exact same outlook and attitude as Japanese people? Because that's what the author…
There's always an explanation where the answer is racism, even if it isn't the correct explanation. Wider than the average Japanese person and crowding the seat(s) next to you? They must not sit next to him because he's…
Of course, I commented on his picture and it would be pretty hard to notice his width and not his race. I don't see why this is pertinent, though, he's not Japanese and I was commenting on the fact that he's not…
It's not "unfair treatment," it's perfectly normal for people to feel more comfortable around their own. They don't know if this guy knows train etiquette, if he has body odor - only around 10% of East Asians do, or…
Likewise Amazon removing books from its site is much more effective than any book burning.
Do you not think studying gravity lead to predictive value before we reached a point of being able to compute orbital dynamics of a spacecraft?
Urban sprawl and planned cities are a pox on humanity. Look at this thread and tell me that these layouts don't look eminently more livable than the modern grid layout city.…
Those are flawed studies, as different names is as much a class distinction as a racial one. Even if it were true, however, a white candidate will on average be better than a black candidate with the same resume,…
You can read more about the baseline known as the 80% rule here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disparate_impact#The_80%_rule Since the onus is on the employer to prove that they had a legitimate reason for this disparate…
No CEO would say this, even if they thought it, because it could be used in evidence in a diversity lawsuit under the 80% rule of diverse impact, because the CEO was intentionally using neutral rules of hiring that…
That doesn't really follow. We don't need to have a complete map genotype to phenotype in order to have an understanding of the weight of genetic component of certain traits. Just because we don't know exactly which…
Can you look at the data and come to a different conclusion rather than attack the paper ad hominem?
Can you find something wrong with the research itself in any of the papers that I linked?
This is just not true. The percentage of blacks in a population is a higher correlate for crime than income, poverty, or any other economic factors. This has been replicated many times. edit: Here are some studies. I…
Do you want your system to be "nice" or do you want it do be effective?
Machine learning will find these patterns all on their own. They're not worried about being ostracized for seeing the world for how it is.
