Blind auditions only get rid of one aspect of discrimination. However, when the pipeline is starved because of too few role models in their communities due to historical prejudice, blind auditions become self-defeating and self-reinforcing.

As far as I'm aware, it would glide as well as any other 737 if both engines were cut. It merely had a slightly lower maximum nose-up because of the increased engine thrust or something like that.

This is kind of hilarious. who was cnn+ even supposed to be for? I personally like CNN, and would probably pay <$x/month or something to get it unbundled. But no way would I ever pay for "cnn+" that doesn't even have

I strongly dislike the CCP, but sometimes terrible governments can pass good laws. I wish our government was a bit more pro-active in this area.

It's easier to just think of it like someone's name. Even if someone's name is hard to pronounce, we generally make an effort *if* we want to socialize with them. I won't disagree there's power plays going on. Lots

I'm learning Japanese and they have dozens of pronouns, perhaps hundreds of them. Not only is someone's gender identity bound to their pronoun, but other important aspects are bound as well such as job and age. I don't see an

I’m not surprised at the extreme red tape here. I’m more shocked to learn leaded gas is still a thing. And kinda furious about it.

It’s just an example of the product not being stagnant. There’s a lot of things that go into current Twitter and it’d probably take no less than a couple hundred engineers just to keep the site up assuming no R&D whatsoever. That adds a

To be accurate, I think Carlsen beats him pretty consistently, I think Carlsen would have a higher blitz rating if he tried for it. But Hikaru is a lot more entertaining. Hikaru has a great vibe.

As long as we're pushing preferred narratives (in your case: public health measures = bad), maybe it's because hospitals and treatment rooms were full of unvaccinated individuals and people who declined to social-distance or wear

You can look up the entire phrase or just ask someone. There’s no need to know where it came from, although it might make retention easier, or comprehension better. Nothing beats time spent immersed in the language and just asking questions

This is probably true. I'd also add though, how would most Americans even know if they've met someone who's transgender? By definition, the transition phase is transitory.

Not sure what to make of this: "Black Americans estimate that, on average, Black people make up 52% of the U.S. adult population; non-Black Americans estimate the proportion is roughly 39%, closer to the real figure of 12%. First-gener

We should pay more for translators. But translation is an area where people like to cut costs. The translation industry simply doesn't pay enough to attract the volume of people required, at the level of skill required. And with machin

Mediocre human translation can be catastrophically wrong as well. Mediocrity just isn't good enough when a mistake can cost someone's life. The worse the translator (machine or human), the more catastrophic mistakes it makes per 1

Deepl is a better option. It feels several years ahead of Google Translate in quality. I know enough Japanese to hurt myself, and Deepl is definitely giving the superior translations, by far, which is great for my studies. As an analogy, it

If it were up to me, I’d disband Russia entirely (too much polarizing history). I’d charter it as a constitutional democracy but remove its right to a standing army. The purpose of Russia should be to increase the happiness of its citizens

I am not following your logic. Are you saying that the USA has done bad things in the past, therefore Russia should be allowed to indiscriminately murder Ukrainians? In my lifetime, I have never seen the USA do anything as evil as what Russ

There’s nothing rational about his Ukraine invasion. Russian gains absolutely bubkis from this, and NATO has become stronger than ever. From what perspective was the invasion rational? Elites in Russia are in absolute disbelief. Putin lost

So the West is to blame for Putin’s irrationality now? What kind of a double-standard is that? How can we possibly negotiate rationally with a madman? Should we have just given him anything he said he wanted? Of course not. It was never abo

Ukrainians have the right to self-determination. Anyway it doesn’t matter, Putin is empire building, he made that very clear in his speech before the invasion. NATO is just an excuse to give his war of aggression the thinnest veneer of legi

If I refuse to trade with the world, the world becomes infinitesimally poorer, but I become radically poorer. Russia is relatively small compared to the global economy and will suffer much more than everyone else.

Absolutely. Russian elites are 100% gobsmacked right now. This is surreal to them. Give some time for the sanctions to percolate.
