Where things go wrong is when race comes into play to begin with. In your example it is clear that credit scores - or whatever equivalent is used in the country in question - are a factor in deciding whether an applicant should be allowed t

There is a host of literature on the subject from many authors but I'll surmise the problem: schools reward behaviour like being quiet and attentive in class, sitting still for longer periods, not goofing off and following instructions

I can make a simple suggestion as to the discrepancy between girls' school results and those in 'real life': the 'modern' school system in most western countries is tailored more to the way most girls/women wor

Yes, that is an unfortunate side-effect of opening up to each and everyone no matter their tastes. Not all is lost though, if they manage to implement a functioning moderation system which allows individual users to limit their exposure to

That question is comparable to the type of question which is often used in politics to silence opponents. In that sense it should be against HN rules, as to whether it is I don't know. As far as I'm concerned he just asked a que

That is false analogy as you're opposing fixed-function devices - lamp and power - to a device which in principle has an unlimited number of functions. Even if it could also contains an unlimited number of buttons this would still not

Nothing keeps you from making those labels touch-sensitive 'in the age of touch screens'. That does mean they need to be bigger than necessary and it has the usual problems associated with touch screens - you need to visually loca

The problem of how to use a fixed set of buttons for a variety of purposes was solved much longer ago by the designers of (military) aeronautical instruments: you put them on the edge of the screen which displays labels next to currently ac

You don't even need to buy any starter, it is sufficient to buy a pack or bottle of cup of one of those 'active' fermented products - yoghurt, filmjölk, kefir, etc. Use the stuff until you have about 10% left, now add fresh (

Those who read Michener's "Centennial" might remember this person in there who carried a sourdough starter on his body on his trek to the Klondike and started some form of business based on it there. I read it just out of pri
