Applying equalizing measures post-hoc without adjusting for baseline rates or confounders cannot be done in a reasonably fair way. Not only is the baseline rate of women seeking funding much lower, but there may be many other variables that

GoDaddy has always been one of the worst providers or registrars someone can use. I wish I was surprised by a practice this bad.

I'm not voicing agreement with your parent comment, but for a better understanding more data is needed than just broad correlations. Without additional information you cannot accurately pinpoint where causalities begin and end as well

They're all trying to present the same information. Just as every video site looks like Youtube with video thumbnails, titles, search, comments, etc, it's just the best way we have to display some styles of information. Github see

Good. It's funny we have HIPAA but yet Google is able to collect significantly more personal information than just healthcare information on us, yet there is not a single regulation they need to truly care about.

I'd be surprised if the ACLU continues down that path in the coming years. They're having a difficult time remaining neutral in the way they used to be.

The part about these convictions that bugs me is that some of the people getting in trouble were definitely not aware that they were breaking the law. It surprises a lot of people when they find out it's illegal to buy and sell bitcoin

What is even more interesting and relevant is what we will do when videos are regularly and intentionally modified or created, and in much more striking ways than this one. I'm surprised we haven't already seen some good attempts
