from your link: > The term "Hispanic" broadly refers to the culture, peoples, or nations with a historical link to Spain. I guess that was what I was getting at, but I do take your point that it is not as cut-and-dry as my shor

I wrote > 380 such events have happened so far this year You took that to mean that they were all identical in every way. I wrote it to mean that cops are killing people all the time and it only gets national news when it is a white cop

Not all 380, but certainly some[1]...and I can find many more, but leave that as an exercise for you. Linked story is of an unarmed teen, with hands outstretched being killed by police. Also there was a video. However, teen is white officer

380 such events have happened so far this year, however only a few have had national reporting. Journalists are very clear what makes a story "juicy", I think. [1] http://killedbypolice.net/

In my mind "protesting" involves more of getting your point across as a group and less stealing pringles from the CVS and burning down afterwards.

There are absolutely some people looting and raising hell because they are seeing others do it without consequence on television or online. When I say "the Media", I (in god's name) mean the television news, the online news,

Using your theory as a lens to observe current events in Baltimore (Ferguson, etc.), where the media is really responsible for fanning the flames of outrage to riot proportions -- it seems that the government is either ineffective at this r

Peoples mixed with Spaniards. The "span" part of Hispanic.

This is the obvious answer. Another, I believe, is a sense of community (lower societal stress).

They still think that "the problem" was that they were asking for mods to be compensated(and that the exiting mod community doesn't like commercialism), not that they were keeping 3/4 of it.

This IDE looks practically identical (even using the same tab names!) to RStudio. It seems a bit disingenuous of op to not mention such a glaring copy. Not that it is an issue, the creator of RStudio seems pretty chill ... but still.

Even more, it is not uncommon for law enforcement to actually enjoy legal protections from having to answer for any misbehavior or misconduct.

Also, if you are using Python, sqlite3 has some pretty advanced text searching capabilities that will scale past your "few thousand" with no problem.

I am a huge AWS fan, and user. Look at my accounts for the sums I have spent over the years. I lover new AWS services. But, this is my main complaint with AWS -- don't announce until you have usable numbers and workable examples for ea

I have never seen or heard of a test that is SES-neutral. Even simple "G-Loaded" activities like counting backwards shows both racial and SES bias in younger children. I personally think giving principals more power over hiring an

This is not new, nor is it unexpected[1]. If you incentivize an outcome, people will try to get to that outcome. The problem with No Child Left Behind, is that they (foolishly) presumed that everyone would take the most difficult path to th

There seems to be an approaching "framework overload" point where javascript (at least frameworks) will suffer some backlash and begin to push people away from them. It happened before with java and ruby for a time.

The thing about current ads is, even if they are perfectly relevant, that they are so overwhelming that the distraction is not worth the potential benefits.

I think you misunderstand what I said -- not millions of calculations, millions of individualized data that uniquely identify a person, then use it without telling the person how. If people know you are using information to serve them a bet

If you are she can do millions of those in your head and use it for profit without telling the people that you are going to do so, and how, then yes. You and her should be punished.

A 'free' market supposes that the consumer has all the available information he needs to make the most rational choice for his own best interest. Deception of the consumer is not a primary part of the (mostly theoretical) free mar

There are applications that let you query structured text with SQL. For example, https://github.com/dinedal/textql there are others as well.

Even collecting it, without explicitly stating what you are going to do with it, should be punished and prohibited. If it can identify you, you should be clear what is to be done with it before you can make an informed decision to give it t

We clearly disagree on many points about unions, and can go back and forth all day with examples to support either side. The hostess example is a good one, as they would not take a reasonable salary after the market turned, over 18,000 peop

Yes, I am not only suggesting that, I am baffled as to how you think not making noise about it and letting it lay in some Mexican standoff with the union was better.

> What is your problem? Seriously. Labor WOULDN'T move overseas if unionized workers had any power. The labor moves over seas because those with the power decide where to move the labor, and it is decidedly NOT unions. Yes seriously

I agree, but how might you imagine that management would find this out if the person is unwilling to speak up, instead relying on the silent fear of the union to keep it at bay? Do you think that leaving the abusive manager in place, but im
