"Obviously"? Have you ever met any older Chinese people, or folks fresh from the mainland? They're racist as hell. My dad was fond of telling me that the one black physics professor he knew at UC Berkeley was a very nice guy,

Qualitatively, it's the same problem that a lot of people have in grad school. Doing homework from a textbook isn't the same as the uncertainty of research.

Not just China, the US is also a huge culprit. ( http://www.cdc.gov/narms/resources/threats.html )

But there could be a racial bias that causes police to be more likely to stop black Americans.

Sure, but you can be a majority that's a tyranny, or a majority that occasionally is more accommodating.

The implication is that the rest of the team felt comfortable enough in that environment that they could change the channel without even having to ask, while OP was loudly ridiculed for wanting to change the channel in a more polite way. Th

It's a damaging and harmful thing when it creates unrealistic expectations that actually affect other people. What happens when a young man gets upset at a young woman for not being as compliant with his sexual desires, or as physicall

Oh boy! Check out the police blotter for this sleepy little town only five miles from Palo Alto, right in the heart of the Valley: http://www.mercurynews.com/peninsula/ci_18770819 "A woman told police someone rang

That's not how it's always been. Americans work unusually hard. In fact, medieval peasants often got more vacation time than Americans did: http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2013/08/29/why-a

Since when does the US being a shit justify other countries being a shit? People should just not be shits.

Er, sprawl is sparse. Sprawl is practically by definition 'low-density.'

Are you seriously saying that everyone's disadvantages are the same? Wow.

His work on the photoelectric effect is definitely the work of a lone genius. Is it not fair to say though, that for the theory of relativity, he had to collaborate with others? This article seems pretty exhaustive to me.

This is one of the few fairly clear cases in real life where you could make a utilitarian argument, though. Sacrifice a few lives now to save more in the long run. I wouldn't want to be the government that has to dictate this policy, t

If you look at the overall trends, economic mobility is decreasing for most Americans. http://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/reports/20... Calling the US a 'feudal' state is obviously hy

Believe it or not, women have had to fight for the right to work in coal mines. You probably hear only about the fight to get more women in tech, since you are in tech. But anyway, here you go: http://www.women-in-mining.com&#x2F

It's debatable whether that kind of monomania is really necessary. Steve Jobs still found time to have a family. Zuckerberg and his pediatrician wife just had their first kid. pg and Jessica have what, two kids now? Anyway, studies sho

Dude, what the hell, Atlantic. This article lifted a bunch of quotes straight from The New Yorker article on this a few years ago. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/03/26/the-song-machin... The quot

Right, so imagine how much worse it would be for you if you were black on top of being large.

While violence has always been a part of the human condition, the scale of destruction wrought by modern war is novel. Violence in pre-Neolithic (pre-agricultural times, which characterizes the vast majority of our time as a species on this

I really doubt there's any chemical forces. My brother is a stay-at-home dad and his daughter far prefers him to her mother.

I find this whole article rather suspect. For example, people have always had premarital sex. ( http://books.google.com/books?id=knN9HzkY1pEC&pg=PA10&lpg=PA... ) And the author simply asserts, without any proof, that

Being a woman, yes, I am entirely aware of that. Unless you have a single day where you're pushing out two tablespoons, though, which is very unlikely, my point still stands.

This is actually a really good replacement for pads. They say their underwear can hold one to six teaspoons. There are five milliliters to a teaspoon, and according to Wikipedia, the average period produces one to six tablespoons total. The

The parent comment isn't saying that death isn't a part of life. He's saying that it was pretty rude to say that in the context of the grandparent's comment. He's not telling you, or anyone else, how to feel. He&#x2

Yeah, and there aren't a lot of women at GitHub. It would be quite easy to figure out who was making a particular complaint.
