Yeah this sounds like it should be illegal, although it's probably allowed in the US. There's no way it is clearly communicated to candidates, I don't think most people would agree to a contract that says "FYI we might f

I understand what you mean but I don't think I agree. Scientists are human and frequently experiment on things that they have strong beliefs or faith in. Francis Collins is famously a devout Christian, but still conducted experiments o

What browser are you using? I'm on Windows, but I have to use Chrome for Google Meet and Drive because they perform so poorly in other browsers. I use Firefox for everything else.

The Pluralistic post is only about 20% longer than that article, and it adds useful context about why an average American should care about this particular judge and the Texas Two-Step. Not a criticism of the Business Insider article, indiv

I agree that's the most obvious use case, so I think the fact that the founders consciously avoided mentioning it means they must have ethical concerns, or at least understand others' concerns. I think this is a reasonable questio

Unclear, your doctor would have to state that your ADHD is a permanent disability "that severely limits one or more major life activities." I'm not sure they'd be willing to do that after one 30 minute visit. If you as a
