I'm not sure we can solve this as it relates to AI/ML if we can't even solve it as it exists in human society today. Various heuristics are used, knowingly or not, to gate access to employment, education, healthcare, etc. As

This is true but mental healthcare can not solve systemic issues that contribute to isolation like a lack of social opportunities or sexual partners. These things can be entirely related to economic factors that a healthcare professional ca

I can't really tell your opinion, so I guess this is for other readers: the government can be entitled to regulate an activity but at the same time not be entitled to any means of actually enforcing that regulation. A prime example is

This is true, but keep in mind the experience of many people is at odds with this. Municipalities de facto wield huge authority through their control of the police and tend to never be challenged. As an extreme but rather common example, th

There's good argument to be made a lot of restrictions on business are unconstitutional in various ways. It is not that any regulation on business or activity is absurd; it is more that in practice what the regulation says and what i

That is his point. Who is qualified? It'd probably have to be many people, but then who are they accountable to? Is it really better to have Facebook be government run? I highly doubt it.

Or.. they could not oversubscribe their lines? Cuts into their profit margins, sure, and they'll need to reinvest in their infrastructure, but it makes the whole business a lot less unethical.

The issue is already the for-profit services inside the state run jails. Commissary deposits may take 10% straight off the top, or you might be forced to pay $50 for a thirty minute video call with no visitation available, in addition to th

Been wondering this myself also, please post if you get anywhere, especially with a modern drive.

Have you just ever tried to ask for help while being male? There's people lining up at student centers to help female students, but go in as a guy and no one really cares. Sure, you can say men don't take advantage of educational

Don't be so sure about that, the first amendment is to categorically prevent any discussion of which speech is appropriate. Saying hate speech is restricted or that pornographic images of children are restricted is starting the discuss

This is probably running ucLinux to run Mono. I think the bigger issue with the Onion is you can't change the firmware (or at least I got the impression the last time I looked).

Ok -- if masculinity is irrelevant, which is what I am claiming and what you say the APA guidance also claims, then why do they spend so much time on it? They don't dismiss it, just speak to different types of masculinity. What is the

The issue is the focus on masculinity at all, let alone whatever toxic masculinity is.[0] The way psychological issues are linked to masculinity is disingenuous as the deeper cause of the issues isn't masculinity but the inability to s

The gist of it (to me) is it focuses on issues that are the feminist conception of what is wrong with masculinity and it is overly focused on masculinity. Masculinity, or what women think masculinity is, is usually just a proxy for feeling

Rust is probably here to stay seeing as it was picked up by Firefox. I still think it could have been done better, but perfect is the enemy of good enough.

Society has many (new?) structural problems dealing with men's issues. A lot of it is sexism favoring women, but a lot of it is a lack of desire to understand the issues facing men and address them. To get an idea how bad it can be che

This is a good point. I live partly in the country and small towns are full of guys 40-60 years old with no immediate family and, I presume, a limited support network. I realized at some point these are the men society marginalizes and send

The idea behind these laws limit the extent that people can circumvent minimum wage. It also prevents de facto enslavement or indentured servitude, but probably to a lesser degree. This type of discussion usually comes up in the context of

Apparently as Epstein arrived or shortly before his death the guards were rotated and two with very little suicide watch experience were present. One was also caught sleeping?

> The prison where Epstein died was understaffed, and the guards tasked with watching him had no training on suicide watches. This could have been intentional, fyi.

Well, no. Reproducible builds are a security concern and a source base distro is highly optimizable and configurable. Just because you do not see the purpose does not mean one is absent.

The rub with this is PG&E was avoiding maintenance to pay out dividends. The situation was entirely preventable. Frankly it's scary how everyone is apologizing for the utility company's management.

No, that's generated also, but is highly reusable whereas some people get along completely fine without Java (unless you make them pull it in for Bazel for Firefox).

No debt besides student loans is truly undischargeable. Historically it seems like it was pretty easy to avoid paying, for better or wose; unfortunately, now judges are more likely to set up unreasonable payment plans and to hold people in
