Removing even more factors have found that gap diminish even more. In some cases, looking at young adults with college educations with out children (with some other factors also made equal), they found that women out earned men.

>They call people

Do they adjust for the bias introduced by using a phone survey? I would hypothesize that job holders are more likely to have a stable phone connection than the unemployed.

When found in the wild, it is more a fallacy than anything else.

Some forms of encryption allow for keys that create evidence that has never existed before. A simple case is an XOR between random data and some illegal file (that only hypothetically exists). That XOR is a key to creating the illegal file which never existed before.

You cannot draw an analogy to any real world item locked up in some way, because in those cases a key could only ever reveal an item that already exists.

From what I remember reading about the NSA, there are quite a few Dirty Dereks in the government.

>Can you guys stop thinking we're an election or two away from a fascist dystopia?

How long did it take Germany? Maybe 3 or 4 elections then.

It depends on who 'we' is. Anyone with a passing knowledge of the history of computer does not. They probably give more than a fair share to Turing and von Neumann, but you are right they don't think of those 4.

But if we are talking the general public, who might not know much about Turing beyond that a movie exists, if that. They would have no clue who von Neumann is. Zuckerberg, Gates, and Jobs would be far more likely to be who they think of as innovators of technology.

>conspiracy theorist

My favorite conspiracy theory is that the idea of conspiracy theories was subject to a multiple decade long attack by certain government groups to make conspiracy theory equate in popular culture to crack pot theory. Governments benefits when theories like the CIA bringing in drugs or the military doing non-consensual human experimentation on soldiers are classified under the same moniker as the theory that lizard people control the government and aliens exist but the governments of the world cover for them.

But that is just a conspiracy theory.

>Quads with cameras make people nervous.

And yet people are fine with the government using the same if not worse. Based on those I speak with who hold such a double standard, there is a deeply held belief that it will never be used against them, largely because of their SES, race, and religion.

It's great language for shifting blame as well. Instead of a business admitting they couldn't retain an employee, which would imply that they need to look at what they are doing. By calling it poaching, they are now a victim of being poached from, and less responsible for what happened. I put this next to the people who say 'can't find anyone who does x' but who never admit it is because of the salary they are paying.

"Being that this isn't my specialty, I would research a solution online as it would provide a far greater business value for the time spent. But you probably want to see me try to solve it anyways, so I let's start with a brute force and improve from there."

Point out that in a real life scenario you wouldn't do this because it is so more efficient to use the work of others, but then solve the problem so they can measure your problem solving skills.

>It's unfair to discuss gender and race without considering class.

Or other issues. Is someone cis or trans. Or maybe even non-binary. Are they nuero typical. What about the types of parents they had; were the parents verbally abusive (or perhaps worse). How tall are they. How attractive are they (especially with regards to factors that one cannot control, at least without extreme cost of resources). Were they medicated as a child, especially using off label prescriptions of medications show long term effects are not well studied in young children. How much of an introvert/extrovert are they?

The thing that polarizes this discussion is that a very small number of the potential factors which result in privilege are discussed repeatedly, and so people who may have benefited from those select factors but who lost out with regards to the factors not discussed tend to become very agitated of the selective focus being given during discussions.

>It's only meant to raise awareness, awareness that you clearly need, based on your post.

And yet, awareness of other issues and even the opposite side of the same issue seem to not be as needed.

> "white privilege" isn't a personal attack.

Academically not, but it ends up being used either as one or as ammunition for one.

>awareness that you clearly need

Case in point.

Because privilege is based on looking at only a subset of the group. A subset that changes to push a narrative. For example, white privilege often involves some concept related to being given leniency in legal matters. Less likely to be stopped, less likely to be arrested if stopped, less likely to be charged if arrested, and less likely to be convicted if charged. And statistically, that is all good and fair. But then male privilege discussions almost never include that the reverse happens when you look at gender (and to a much greater degree than race).

Also, while perhaps not originally meant to be applied to an individual, that is the common experience with it. It is further compounded by picking only certain areas for privilege to matter and being very stereotyped. For example, one white privilege is going to a school where the majority of the student body was the same race. Except that isn't always true.

While the wording behind privilege is extremely toxic and needs to be done away with, much of the ideas behind it are what directly led to that toxicity to begin with.

>THEY ARE NOT REFERRING TO YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

Yeah, if you ignore all the other times.

Yes, which is why I can't support the idea of a living wage in general, because a living wage in some areas would equate a nice wage elsewhere.

Being put on hold does put limits on what one can do. Can I be at the movies? Can I be having a discussion with friends and family? Can I driving? No to all of these (without having a performance impact).

Being put on hold does far more damage than lying in this particular case.

>That doesn't make it okay to lie to them.

You are right. What makes it okay to lie is that no harm is done to anyone I care about not harming. That they made themselves someone I no longer care about harming is their own issue.

> If everyone simply linked the "canonical" version of jQuery (the CDN link is right on their site) then requiring jQuery will be effectively free because it will be in everyone's cache.

So create one massive target that needs to be breached to access massive numbers of websites around the world?

Imagine if every Windows PC ran code from a single web page on startup every time they started up. Now imagine if anything could be put in that code and it would be ran. How big of a target would that be?

While there are cases where the performance is worth using a CDN, there are plenty of reasons to not want to run foreign code.

(Now maybe we could add some security, like generating a hash of the code on the CDN and matching it with a value provided by the website and only running the code if the hashes matched. But there are still business risks even with that.)

Boaty McBoatface is not internet trolling. Look at Mountain Dew's renaming disaster to see internet trolling.

When you consider the real reason you are getting the ticket isn't that you were speeding, everyone else was as well, but that you are an easy money with an out of state plate or maybe the color of your skin wasn't appreciated by the officer. Now, real speeding tickets are given for people who are violating even the extended limits, but for the reality is that legal realism + over arching laws + selective enforcement means that the law actually is that being the wrong skin color or from the wrong location or displaying the wrong political bumper sticker is a ticketable offense as long as the officer doing so is being discrete enough.

Wouldn't the benefit be for the employee whose spouse can direct anger not at the employee but their manager? The benefit would thus be employees being less likely to have to choose between their relation or their job.

>E.g. men couldn't impress women with nice cars or any of the other status symbols that are so common in the West, and had to 'convince potential mates' through their personalities and actions

Is this gender equality? It sounds, and it may just be because you simplified it to fit into a single line, that the men were still having to impress the women. Wouldn't gender equality have been the end of there being a set gender having to impress the other?

>and I'm not sure whether the immune system can be trained to attack only prions and not their regular protein equivalents.

A prion tends to be vastly different than the original protein. I thought the bigger problem was that prions are the metaphorical tanks of the protein world. Just look at what it takes to denature a prion compared to other proteins.

Oh, and the incubation time can be extremely long. A burger you ate 5 years ago could've been infected but it could still be years before you begin showing signs. I remember reading a bit about some connection between prions and dementia in elderly individuals but I don't remember any of the details.

One sci-fi horror series had an episode where the plot was that some mass produced chickens were getting ill because the feed was made from other chickens and they eventually discovered that it involved a prion that was dangerous to humans as well. This was discovered after massive numbers of those chickens had been consumed in large quantities by society.

>No doubt it will benefit them (which is why you paid all that money, I imagine).

The nightmare many are facing is that it doesn't benefit them. Regardless of what self improvement one may receive from their degree, certain degrees are being awarded at a faster rate than the economy demands them, depressing wages for those who can use that degree to get a job and resulting in many who can't use that degree to get a job.

>Because at some point it stops being fun to watch if your race from point A to B is won by a supersonic fighter jet.

Not when the opponent pulls out a surface to air missile.

>Several of them lamented that every department had "slackers" who'd probably be fired from any real business, but basically couldn't get sacked if they tried due to Government policies.

Seems like the end result would be a really nasty dead sea effect.

They pass a law saying it is a violation of human dignity to talk to your plants in the wrong tone.

>You have an absolute, indelible right to freedom of speech (unless we decide it's bad speech).

Which is functionally identical to 'you don't have freedom of speech and can only say what we allow'.

Such a law should not exist. If a law is so bad that the only way people are willing to tolerate it is with selective enforcement, then it shouldn't be tolerated at all.
