Not at all. Opera has a built-in RSS reader and it's very useful.

If it were not for those fanatical religiously-motivated phobias that you decry, that kid would have been murdered before he was ever born.

If you want to work more on the law side, pretty much any sufficiently big software company is going to need someone like you. If you want to stick more to the developer stuff, try something in a more heavily regulated industry like healthc

That's not true either. I don't know how it's set up other than that we use exchange, but on our internal network, you can send an email to someone's firstinitiallastname (the part that is before the @ for external senders) and it will go t

It will take a lot more than that, especially when it comes to educating other people. There are millions of new engineers entering the workforce every year, and that number is only going to grow. Most haven't yet learned about the problems

The converse doesn't need to be true. If ghetto ⊂ high-crime area, then an algorithm that avoids high crime areas avoids ghettos, regardless of whether high-crime area = or ⊂ ghetto. The converse only affects whether it would be accurate t

I hear this complaint a lot, but mostly from outraged consumers, who are surely biased. Do you know if there's any evidence that's true?

I think a large part of their supporters don't care if someone commits a crime if it is done in a sufficiently shameless and entertaining way. Just look at Sabu's tweet.

The alternative of ignoring race gives you two identical candidates. If choosing a particular race consistently gives you worse results than choosing randomly would have, that's still evidence supporting racism as a general rule - you're ju

I would only consider racism a fault if it leads you to make bad decisions. In the hypothetical situation where two candidates differ only by their race, that won't happen.

Which statement? That wasn't the point of your statement that the resume provided more information than the candidates' races. It actually provides no useful information if the other guy has the exact same qualifications. Your example i

They had already terminated their service agreement with this person. If I were a low-margin hosting reseller, I wouldn't bother to keep around the data of ex-customers either.
