> the Bar Raiser- not the HM- makes the decision To be pedantic, the HM makes the hire-or-not decision, the BR can veto a hire decision. BR cannot make a hire decision.

Maybe recently, but early last decade (2010-ish) they didn't. It's why I haven't had a Facebook account since then. After opting out of sharing my data, I would see my data (namely, my Facebook friends likes) pop up on thir

Your general story of poor-to-doing-well is the majority story in the US (not sure of other countries). Income mobility is a huge thing in the US, a great feature that I see mentioned very little outside of academics. Something like 80% o

This is basically Silicon Valley mentality broadening its influence. I would guess - just a guess - that a corporation like Coca-cola sees this kind of stuff heralded in Silicon Valley and things "hey we can be hip too!"

Indeed, a simple reading of almost anything by Thomas Sowell, especially Discrimination and Disparities, would go a long way to educate everyone that discrimination is not a meaningful factor in why we have disparities between groups.

I get the sense that time is now that reasonable, logical people have realized we screwed up with the overreaction. Back in late March people were already questioning the lockdowns once the unemployment numbers started rolling in. Every d

Those of us in the not at risk groups still have agency to improve our immune systems (proper vitamins and diet, avoid obesity, sleep, et al) to significantly reduce our risk against an already extremely low risk virus. Glad I've been

Oh, good, then US doesn't have systemic racism, as proven by Thomas Sowell in "Disparities and Discrimination."

T+2 is an artifact from the days where there was paper trading and everything was done via open outcry. There's no technical reason it can't be done much faster. ATM transactions are atomic within 60 seconds. Credit cards are f

Take a simple browse through a thread about Trump or his supporters for one example. There are many, many other examples as well.

> People like my wife and me want a safe, privacy environment and Apple delivers I agreed with that and have been an Apple fan for ages, until Apple banned Parler and not Twitter. Now I'm a little jaded on their privacy brand.

I'm hoping this has teeth, but the auto industry and/or governments in the US are infamous for setting ambitious long term goals, then moving the goalposts as the goal approaches. I remember the early 90s when California set EV g

Not sure how things are in the UK, but in the US, this is pretty much spot on. You'll see all sorts of curriculum pop up from grade school through universities to "teach" the SJW topic du jour. If Europe hasn't gone in

Based on the freedom I have with using phone, electricity, water, roads, and other public infrastructure, absolutely I am sure. Twitter, Apple, and Facebook have showed their hand. I want no part of that future.

For me I'm glad an irresponsible adult who made the choices that killed two innocent people can't do the same to others. Always amazing to me that people have more empathy for the criminals than the victims.

I'm troubled as well. Here's how I see things that played out: Twitter and Facebook banning Trump? Not surprised, they censor conservatives all the time and have been doing so since even before Trump. Also remember: it wasn&#x2

And yet Apple and Google have never taken any action against twitter despite similar content over the past four years threatening or organizing violence on twitter - content which is still there to this day. America has fallen into an Orwel
