Police can't control their own actions responsibly, what makes you think a robot would be any better? Seems like it would be worse.

At a FAANG, a Product Design IC can make up to around $350k/yr. A SWE can regularly make $1M/yr. My BiL is an eng manager and he makes a little over that. One thing I've noticed is that most engineers seem to be relatively ha

He could just move to Product Design for half the pay of a swe and the same treatment as a production artist. Worst of both worlds.

There has been a focus on race from the very beginning of the country. The entire point is to prevent class solidarity. The owner class has it, the working class does not and that's by design. "If you can convince the lowest white

I think you're proving the point. Both of these things absolutely 100% meet the definition of racist.

I have noticed a lot of accounts being banned who post things counter to the current US foreign policy narrative, whatever it may be at the time. Obviously not all of them, but a lot of popular ones.

Look into the redacted 28 pages of the 9/11 report and the recently released testimony of Zacharias Mousaui. The hijackers were funded by members of the Saudi royal family, specifically Bandar bin Sultan nicknamed Bandar Bush for his

You're saying the only way to end discrimination is for the victims to forgive the perpetrators? How would that work exactly? IMO, the only way to move forward is to correct past wrongs by heavily investing in affected communities eco

All of them. I used to work for one. Every government/private sector contract is like this. A giant waste of money. This is where we spend so much money on the military and government projects with poor results.
