Some other reports are saying the gunman made sure to ask if they were republicans or democrats. He wanted to kill republicans. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/14/shots-fired-repub... Very distu

Not surprised. Scanning my own personal feed, it seems like everyone is successful and happy. It makes me depressed even though I know the feed is biased.

Yes it's a pretty disturbing message that actually goes against the ACLU's opinion on free speech. Also it worries me I'm seeing more authoritarian traits in silicon valley elites. Those who make peaceful protests impossible

Here is a link to the actual technical report, http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/130/3/e756 Which has all the hallmarks of misleading data. See the comments for more http://pediatrics.a

Except piercing ears is not a sex organ. This seems like an attempt to deflect from what circumcision actually is : genital mutilation. Genital mutilation is not okay for girls or boys.

The research you are trying to dismiss several times in this thread as "suits" was done by Parikh. After reading your replies to myself and other users in this thread,You clearly have an issue with him, by the rather extreme lengt

I don't seem to understand why you refuse to take Jay Parikh at his word. He is a indian minority who stands for diversity, and yes he often works very closely with Sheryl for many years. Jay Parikh is not a suit or corporate hr person

Facebook hasn't released any of their data. They have said normalized for experience, the gender bias goes away. So I can't agree with you based on the WSJ article. Also I personally have a hard time believing a company with Shery

Its unclear to me as well. I've been hearing speech can be violence from my younger coworkers.

Basically a dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14247221 The Verge is using the WSJ as the source.

Its not unreasonable. I really hope scientific authorities start realizing there is erosion of trust and they need to take extreme steps to fix it.

While I started watching the show and like it, I don't really think its timely or realistic for the united states at least. The only timely comparisons I see are in the middle east currently. I find myself leaning towards McArdle'

Wow can't say I expected this under President Trump, It's something I thought Obama would do.

Yea. I have the same concerns. If this tech evolves, I'm really worried about brain harvesting or trafficking, we already have increasingly desperate people turning to organ trafficking, and human smuggling is tied to organ harvesting.

I only buy technical/developer e-books, and read them on my computer, or open them for a quick sanity check on a concept at work. I can take them everywhere rather than carrying 40 lbs of reference material. However when it comes to pl

Wow, It seems like we already have the technology ready to go to create fast track online programs. Why don't we just allow Pearson to bypass universities altogether and award degrees for cheaper than the 40,000 current universities co

If he's not running for office, maybe it's to prevent a huge public backlash to facebook ? There is increasing unrest and resentment towards the very rich including silicon valley ceos in america.

Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes should be a huge indictment of Tech Journalism as well. Many critics were right about her, but smeared as misogynists. I know I bought the hype, and called some friends sexists. At least the Wall Street Journal
