It might depend on how you get the vaccine. I went to a mass vaccination clinic and was never asked to identify my race, but a family doctor presumably has that information on file and might report statistics to local health authorities?

So a LGBT cake shop should be forced to write anti-gay bible verses on cakes? Religion is also a protected class. Splitting services into speech and non-speech isn't a perfect solution, but it seems like a decent compromise compared to

The graph is of annual electricity generation, so it almost certainly is not included. Natural gas used for residential heating doesn't get converted to electricity, it just gets burned by the home's furnace. Only around a third o

It seems more like a prisoner's dilemma situation, where hiring from an in-group only works if you trust other members of the in-group enough to return the favor. Otherwise they could "betray", hiring a better candidate from

There was the (hilariously unsuccessful) attempt to review bomb Factorio a few weeks ago, after some fans got upset about a video the lead dev linked to in a blog post. It seems to be most common in creative industries, eg. Video games, mus

I think better rules on what quality of confessions police and prosecutors take into consideration would probably be sufficient. Eg. if the suspect says "okay, fine, I did it" after hours of interrogation but cannot describe what

Because it's effective I guess? A couple hours of successful interrogation can save tens or hundreds of hours of investigation. And one of their main goals is to elicit information that can be independently confirmed. For example, if s

The problem is that the study's design makes it impossible to measure the magnitude of the issue. Any recommendation system operating on the scale of YouTube's is going to have a non-zero error rate, and this study effectively jus

A minimum of AES-128, which could mean 100% AES-128 or 1% AES-128 from old iOS devices that haven't been updated in years. And even AES-128 would require doing a 2^64 exhaust on a quantum computer, which would be quite a remarkable fea

The current academic consensus is that AES-256 is quantum resistant, as even with Grover's algorithm the attack would still require 2^128 bits of work. Generally symmetric encryption schemes are impacted to a much lesser extent than pu

Except YouTube (temporarily) banned them for community guidelines violations, not copyright violations. So the Hughes v. Benjamin decisions isn't relevant.
