There is certainly sexism built into the rating system, as woman titles require 200 less Elo points to achieve. https://www.chess.com/article/view/how-to-become-a-chess-gra...

Not sure what I am supposed to do about that.
For example, I had a git repo on a web host and wanted it moved to another host (they cloned it easily enough), but then I wanted to make the cloned repository "authoritative", but I after several hours of looking for an answer I finally gave up. I was able to clone the new repo to my local machine, but I couldn't push changes to the new repo, and had to log into the new host using the console and commit changes there, which was still looking at the original repository.
Intellectual Property also seems like a more liberal realm, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, RIAA, MPAA, Disney, Apple, etc. all seem to be quite left leaning.
If the leadership of a company is willing to send an email like this to all of their customers, it doesn't seem unreasonable to believe that the employees are being influenced, which is the core component of that article:
When the Founders set about designing the world’s first democracy, they were particularly concerned that employees might be subject to the undue influence of those who controlled their economic fate. “In the main,” Alexander Hamilton warned, “power over a man’s support is power over his will.” Constitutional author Gouverneur Morris likewise worried that those who “receive their bread from their employer” would be pressured to “sell [their votes] to the rich.”
This article lays out a pretty solid case for why politics should be kept out of business.

There is more knowledge in the world than a single person ever learn.
It seems like a uniform consensus response inhibits useful data. In the face of the unknown, comparing different responses seems like it would provide a better result in the long run.

Increasing salaries isn’t going to create more housing, it will just drive up prices even more.
Most of the arguments made in support of legal abortion could also be made for legal prostitution.
Furthermore, there is a fair amount of research indicating that legal prostitution reduces occurances of rape.
Although I suppose it would increase “liquidity” in the market, and reduce the value of sex to a certain degree.
My big project is OpenTRV which has the modest aim of cutting the UK's entire carbon footprint by 10% (and/or Europe'ss by 8%) at low cost by halving space heating costs especially for homes in a simple and fiddle-free way!
On air, I said that, back in 1988, when climate scientist James Hansen testified in front of the Senate, he predicted we’d see a tremendous amount of warming. I argued it’d been more than a decade and we could now see by looking at the temperature record that he wasn’t accurate. After we got done with the program and were back in green room, getting the makeup taken off, Joe said to me, “Did you even read that testimony you’ve just talked about?” And when I told him it had been a while, he said “I’m daring you to go back and double check this.” He told me that some of Hansen’s projections were spot on. So I went back to my office and I re-read Hanson’s testimony. And Joe was correct.
Here is a transcript of the testimony, he appears to be referring to...

Having read it twice, I'm not sure exactly which "predictions" he is referring to.
John Taylor, according to his Wikipedia article is "an environmental activist and policy analyst", and apparently more than happy to shill for either side.
Criticism of him from some random link on the second page of Google:

No matter your opinion on the topic, this guy certainly seems less than credible.
WikiLeaks @wikileaks Swedish media admits to censoring stories for the last five years on migrant crime

Translation: I'm so fucking tired. What I will write here below, is not politically correct. But I don't care. What I'm going to promote you all taxpayers is prohibited to peddle for us state employees. That tends to drive in a non-career and non-individual pay. Even though it's true. I don't care about all of this, will soon still retire after 47 years in this activity. I will now and every week to explain in detail what for employing me as investigators / investigator on coarse mcu police in örebro. It's not going to be good with the opinion or other leftist kriminologers perception in the general debate.
Our pensioners is on its knees, the school's a mess, healthcare is an inferno, the police have totalhavererat etc etc. We all know why but no one dare or wants to peddle the reason, due to the fact that Sweden always lived on the myth of prudes ultimate society who have osinnliga resources to be at the forefront when it comes to be the only politically correct option in a dysfunctional world that beats Knot on their own by destructive behavior in different name of. Here we go; this I've handled Monday-Friday this week: rape, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, rape-assault and rape, extortion, blackmail, off of, assault, violence against police, threats to police, drug crime, drugs, crime, felony, attempted murder, Rape again, extortion again and ill-treatment.
Suspected perpetrators; Ali Mohammed, mahmod, Mohammed, Mohammed Ali, again, again, again Christopher... what is it true. Yes a Swedish name snuck on the outskirts of a drug crime, Mohammed, Mahmod Ali, again and again.
Countries representing the weekly all crimes: Iraq, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Somalia, Syria again, Somalia, unknown, unknown country, Sweden. Half of the suspects, we can't be sure because they don't have any valid papers. Which in itself usually means that they're lying about your nationality and identity.
Now we're talking just örebro municipality. And these crimes occupies our utredningsförmåga to 100 %.
So it looks here and has been like for the past 10-15 years.
Return next Friday with a statement for the past week 🇸🇪
It's shocking to me that "grenade attacks" have virtually become an every day occurrence.

Refugee centers have already been burned down in several instances, and anti-migrant sentiment is growing.
I really don't see how the large scale immigration going on in a Europe is going to result in a positive result, at least in short term over the next few generations.
I think it's incredibly irresponsible to encourage migration without being able provide productive meaningful lives to the migrants. People are not pets.
Right now domains like wikileaks.org and thepiratebay.se exist. Will they continue to exist in the same manner going forward? Or, in a few years, will attacks on these domains be made, and their domains seized?
I'm really concerned about this, above all.
I'm not sure why it doesn't make sense.
Removing any information, classified or not, off site is a huge no no. The fact that it was confidential information, that was later marked as such does not change the nature of the information.
