Apple Maps is way more than 60% there in terms of quality but I still don’t find it very compelling for the same reason I won’t switch to DuckDuckGo - a palpable difference in quality gets me paranoid and makes me double check a lot of stuf

You wouldn’t just be embarrassed. Job interviews, health insurance policies, even the prices or discounts available to you may all come under rational consideration.

Wearing a suit is armor for race specifically because of its association with money. Race is dangerous as opposed to merely inconvenient for some because of the association with poverty, desperation, and crime. I still remember the term sup

A suit costs way more money than t shirt and jeans. And people will know if you only have one suit, and people can eyeball if you have a bad suit — it’s like an advertisement for how low class you are, and it is in fact embarrassing and ref

When teachers spend money out of pocket on their classes, I would estimate they are doing so out of negative feelings, such as the feeling that it's such a shame for kids to fall due to lack of money; but I don't see that as a spi

I interpret fears of white genocide as anxiety specifically about Latinos, and not blacks or Asians. Whether or not people espouse cruel language for rural white America, the Latinos are a <much> bigger than story than one of linguist

Does some of the harder change mean having a harder idea of how population growth should work? Perhaps discussion of informal logistical caps?

That doesn’t speak to why the employer should do this rather than government. When employers provide this social good they will inevitably call some of the shots; why should their voice have influence on this matter? To me, this is similar

That a current generation is under-equipped to use quantitative discourse is sad, but it also suggests that what communities need are experts and not evidence. They want to listen to a trustworthy leader and not conflicting data -- because

That's like saying if people don't like military drones, then military drones will start to have less relevance; but some technologies are sufficiently powerful in their own right that it needs only a few people to recognize their

What does that have to do with people dying in those cities? Are pedestrians falling over in a haze? And isn’t the west coast the land of sandals and hoodies?

If it’s a frathouse with 20 somethings who don’t have enough time except with each other, how does sexuality come into play? Not at all?

Does it mean they grew up in a different, more homogenous region than you? If you were never really exposed to black people, doesn’t that change a person? Shouldn’t we have sympathy for those who are underexperienced with blacks and other m
