That represents the population at large, not the percentage of job applicants. Without knowing that number, you can't know how reasonable such a rule is.

There are lots of freedoms most people have that people in prison do not. Why should freedom to choose their job be different?

There are seemingly obvious ways of countering that, such as included mandatory upper limits on ticket contest rates. Are these not part of the contract? Who enters into contracts with no provision for actually delivering the service at an

How hard is it to get connected to other instances? Is this done through personal relationships or prior history or can a complete outsider get involved? I know exactly zero people using Mastodon (that I'm aware of) but this sounds int

As it happens though, I did search for statistics on this and found none. Granted, I didn't spend a lot of time on it. However, given the large number of people who feel passionately that they know the state of things here, I don'

Well I did minimally adjust my priors based on that evidence actually. The fact that a lot of people are making claims here also adjusts them very slightly (I already knew many people felt this way). But I've got heavy weighting on pol

I hadn't heard that claim before. It doesn't seem to be correct: https://www.ncsl.org/research/civil-and-criminal-justice/qua... . It seems to me like in fact governments are working to improve the law in

Citing individual cases doesn't say anything about what is usual. And you're the one making a claim that cops usually are not held accountable. I'm not trying to convince you that they usually are, I'm just saying that t

That study finds that many times the coroner's report is filled out such that the death is not properly classified as being due to the police so the number of deaths caused by the police may be twice what is reported. The strongest int

I mention statistics but I didn't say I required seeing statistics to be convinced. I'm not sure what kind of argument or evidence would convince me, but I promise you, if you give me reasons, I'll evaluate them with as open

This argument basically boils down to "if that were not the case, why would so many people say it was the case"? That's not a great way to decide important issues.

by seti0Cha 4y ago
Why? Is it not the case that they are charged with apprehending armed and dangerous people who may try to kill them? Wouldn't you expect that that would sometimes result in the person they are confronting being killed? How many times d

In fact, I think "not often enough" is most likely the case. It may seem pedantic to others, but I think there's a huge difference between this claim and that made by OP. One suggests a problem of deficient enforcement, the o

The same court had ruled against them previously. If they just wanted to let them off, why didn't they do it then? It seems to me the most reasonable explanation is that they were interpreting the law (IANAL but badly it seems to me in

Not OP but I think it probably is fairly common for them to be held accountable. I haven't seen any statistics on it, but I regard it is the most plausible case. You're claiming otherwise. What reason can you give for me to change

These cops are currently in court, being subjected to the law. If you read the judge's rulings, you can see that the opinions are not about the facts of the case but how the law applies to them. If they get the suit dismissed, it will

My point is, either the traffic got worse or your ad is no longer effective and a higher bounce rate can indicate either. Bots don't shoulder aside regular users, so regardless of whether there are more bots, there are less users. Othe

Mr. Corneroffice has an incentive to catch BS like that, which is that aside from subscriber numbers, he's probably accountable for retention numbers, or even revenue numbers. If he accepts the fake numbers this month, his retention nu

Your bounce rate went up. That's still consistent with your target audience losing interest. It may be that they care enough to click on your ad but don't engage with your content. It could also be that the ratio of bots increased

by seti0Cha 4y ago
I think the point is, the problem isn't a problem if it is priced into the product. It's cheap as hell to show ads on a cost per delivery model because the value is low, in part because of bots, in part because people don't c

That's not how shaming works. If you try to shame someone who doesn't think they've done anything wrong, which will be case in this hypothetical scenario, they will not feel shame. They'll just think you are wrong. If a

That only works when you have mob behind you. What will you do when you find yourself disagreeing with the majority and they apply this technique to you?

With the beneficial side effect of sometimes revealing that you are in fact wrong, thereby allowing you to improve your understanding. It’s sad and telling that people don’t seem to consider this possibility.

It looks like the selling point is easier setup and operation. Elasticsearch is kind of a pain in the ass to take care of. Maybe they've made that better? That'd be valuable to me.

It seems to me you are overgeneralizing from your own case and understating the effects of your choices on the outcome in characterizing success as random. But even if it is random, you should hold out for demonstrably better alternative be
