I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is the Supreme Court overturned affirmative action for schools not for companies. Race discrimination for jobs quite possibly violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964 though. The Equal Employment Opp

I think it is a bit more than just militarily being told who told support or spying/privacy. The west will frequently threaten to cut off aid to Africa if they don't accept certain social policies. I'm not sure if any aid has

It is the case in many places in the US. Many utility companies are working on burying the cables, but it is often slow and expensive so it just takes time. I think a lot of people also don't realize just how huge the US is. PG&E i

I agree it is impossible. I don't like their claims that they don't have access to the decrypted keys and we can prove it by looking at the code. They could have access to the keys and looking at the code wouldn't prove they

I might be missing something, but how are the keys decrypted? Isn't it using the password? I assume the passwords are hashed on the server, but how would we know if you are storing the nonhashed password when we log in?

Solar can produce on cloudy days, but can be greatly reduced. I've seen estimates at 10-25% of the normal rate on a very cloudy day. If there is no wind being generated at the same time it could cause issues. Sure overbuilding might wo
