If H-1B visas were being used how they were intended, they would be a good thing, but we often see them used as a way to get cheap labor, or even directly replace American workers. The company I work at has H-1B junior web developers, hard

One thing to keep in mind, is whether the difference is big enough to matter. I used to think the same as you, then I talked to my wife about a study I'd read that said the top end of male IQ is higher than the top end of female IQ, e

I think they mean "born the same" as in, born with the same potential and capabilities, not literal clones of each other.

It's probably getting downvoted because people who support the preferences view it as someone trying to keep minorities down. I've seen a lot of people game the system, where they'll have specialized knowledge from the gover

If the people in underrepresented groups are anything like the females I knew in the military, most of them will hate that they were treated differently. The females had lower physical fitness standards, but competed for the same promotion

The platform can provide tools that allows users to moderate what they want. RES on reddit is good at that, you can make it so you don't see posts from certain users, filter posts and links, etc.

I think "feeling" safe is an important component of a product. Of course the product has to also be effective, but if it's effective and people still don't trust it, then they won't use it. A good example of a sim

Can't wait for this. The PIA extension stopped working in Firefox months ago, and PIA said they have no ETA for a fix.

I'm suprised at how long the sentence is. I knew someone in the military who got drunk and burned his ex-girlfriend's car, and he only got 6 months.

Depending on the reason for protest, police cars and government buildings are some of the only things it makes sense to burn down IMO. With the recent protests against police and government racism, for example, I'd understand them bur

I've had older coworkers say the same thing. They said that when your social circle was usually your coworkers and neighbors, you had to make an effort to get along, and if you had any sort of extreme viewpoints, you had to remember t

In cities, it seems reasonable. Bored kids with no supervision will go around breaking things for fun, especially if they think it's unoccupied and nobody will care.

I live in a blue collar town near Baltimore, Maryland, and I didn't see anything shut down where I live. Even non-essential businesses, like a local board game store, quickly adapted to curbside pickup. If it wasn't for signs sa

That has nothing to do with it. Similar letters were written when Activision/Blizzard punished a Hearthstone player for supporting the Honk Kong protests.

We could have won that one if politicians had listened to their military advisors. In James Mattis's recent book, he talks about how the Obama administration didn't listen to recommendations for a larger military presence because

They would need to restrict capabilities, not just cut off access to "military-style" gear. They make the same mistake with gun laws where they ban "military-style" weapons because they look scary, but allow weapons tha

I'm suprised they even bother to try and stop it. My grandfather works at WalMart, and said that they're told to not try and stop shoplifting because they don't want customers to be afraid to shop there.

In a large enough group, you can find "many" people who are whatever you want to generalize the whole group as. Using your logic, saying "many" of the protesters are looting and attacking police and innocent bystanders

It could also be that the extended benefits were a way to keep low income people content. At least where I live, most of the layoffs have been minimum wage positions, like wait staff, sales associates, etc. Even if they aren't spendi

I wouldn't be suprised. After the riots in Baltimore, a lot of people ended up getting arrested because they thought they police didn't care since they didn't stop the looting, but they just combed through footage afterward
