For the schools that have them, I consider legacy admissions to be more appalling. Those are overwhelmingly white. The other issue is that many of these schools have not been expanding enrolment numbers to population growth. Less seats pe

To maybe oversimplify it, cancer risk from radiation is all a stats game. The situations where you get a CT scan is either very rare (once or twice in a lifetime and often highly localized) or for a very acute issue (eg a heart attack or c

MRI's themselves produce no cancer risk as they're not ionizing radiation. There's SOME questions about SOME of the dyes used for SOME MRI procedures, but those are usually used in situations where the alternative is worse -

The issue isn’t with the gate keeping per se. The issue is that windows defender, a competitor AV, gets full access while third parties would not. This would leave the, at a competitive disadvantage.

Russia isn't a conventional threat to all of NATO, but it can and does bring an enormous amount of artillery to grind away weaker enemies. The big risk is to the Baltic states. They've only got a small border with a friendly coun

This question is a false equivalency. Amazon is not an economy. Comparing the two, morally or otherwise, is a fools errand. It's like comparing the morality of a TV network versus an actor. Amazon is an organization/corporation

Over the last decade, that squares out. In the 1990s and then after the 2K crash, funding companies was easier as there was less competition. Now anybody investing in any AI venture is going to be competing with a bazillion other people t
