It sounds like this was mainly being used to report abuses by US allies, ie “US armed IDF forces” according to the article. Obviously there is something more to this than the headline and tone of the piece indicate. For one thing, the law w

It’s “do what everyone else does” style of corporate leadership. “Nobody ever got fired for choosing MSFT” goes hand in hand with “if we don’t exploit the H1B system to get cheap coders who won’t sue us or try to organize then someone else

I’ve definitely noticed a correlation with low regard for labor (h1b abuse). But maybe that’s just a location thing, I’m in California where regard for labor, especially local talent, is non-existent. You know, move fast and break things li

Look, most of the work of state congressional reps is getting pork approved and garnering federal funds for the state. If you cannot understand that and grasp how having representatives in both groups helps the state then I can’t help you.

EDD in California doesn’t have any physical location for this, but that’s one of the smaller catastrophic failures of California’s current governance. This is despite giving away, with no accountability to tax payers) over 50 BILLION dollar

I may be wrong about the total raised so far, different ai responses bounce around greatly on the total raised and spent so far, and of course it’s impossible to know exactly given so much “dark money” in politics today, but even very leftw

It’s a proposition in the upcoming California election intended to maximally gerrymander state congressional districts to reduce the number of republican legislators at the federal level. It’s a reactionary move in response to Texas redistr

Oligarchs dissing oligarchs, what else is new. It’s all about power at the end of the day, not power to the people but ego uber alles. How did so many corporate titans get radicalized? Is it that their money insulates them from the plight o

Digital voting is not secure and never will be, which is the main reason it exists. Nobody really wants secure elections, they want to win elections. Look at prop 50 for a recent example.

At any level above 100k, the 15k extra per year for h1b workers the admin promised isn’t a meaningful barrier to h1b abuse, so you’ll have to compete with the entire planet and most of those foreign workers will come from terrible third wor

Russian scientists and doctors are not Putin. I don’t think we should conflate Russian citizens with Putin or Prickosian.

I’m prone to agreement however I would also point out publication bias is a thing, and incentives at the HHS are similar to the “publish or parish” dynamic that drives publication bias. Given that, one can imagine how a skeptical orientatio

So if we were undercounting the denominator and over-counting the numerator (long covid) that would support my initial conjecture right?

You must hate those fancy new style captchas where you rotate the object. I’ve never considered the fairness and discriminatory aspect of captchas until now. I wonder if in the future eternal September will finally end as increasingly compl

Even if they don’t act on that view? Sounds a lot like “thoughtcrime” to me and antagonistic to freedom of religion and therefore also antagonistic to our constitution. While I support your constitutional right to free speech, calling for v

Fair enough but given sparse coverage of the backgrounds of many serial arsonists (the ones that got caught, presumably most of them do not) behind recent California wildfires, people notice that for example, Alexandra Souverneva, was an En

Math achievement correlates strongly with visuospatial reasoning. Programmers may not be as proficient in math as economists, but they are better at it than biologists or lawyers.

I suspect many people commit the grave sin of mixing data sources to derive percentages, which seems almost impossible not to do in this case. I also strongly suspect that rates of infection (the denominator in question) were inflated to so
