The vast majority of the murders are from violent gangs. That has a much stronger correlation than skin color

chess.com consistently lags for me why Lichess does not. I often lose completely winning positions because of the lag.

The US objectively has a low amount of social mobility compared to other countries

Have you seen the TV show "In the Name of the People"?

It's a fictional depiction of investigations of corrupt CCP officials. It's quite good.

China is a place full of contradictions so I would avoid analyzing it through the lens of ideology

Agreed, when I read their response I thought that what they didn't say spoke volumes. Hindenburg's article covered every company in Trevor Milton's professional career from dropping out at Utah Valley State to Nikola. Hindenburg gave evidence that Milton perpetuated fraud at every single company he was involved in and they only challenged the 250 million option at DHybrid.

I think the issue the legal team faces is that many of the things Trevor says are clearly false and misleading.For example, he claimed multiple times that Nikola is generating 3.5 megawatts of energy from solar panels on their roof. There is simply nothing there, it is a bold lie so naturally it's not referenced in their response at all.

The entire company is built around mysterious battery tech that's twice as efficient as Tesla's batteries and hydrogen production at 18.75% of current cost. That is the central fraud in the company just as the unrealistic notion of droplets of blood for reliable testing was at Theranos.

Eventually, if Nikola persists in trying use hydrogen they will face the technological and economic reality they've been hiding from investors and the company will fail.

I question the 1000hp claim but concede that gravity is indeed zero-emission.

I've always wondered why horses are not used as livestock since they can also produce milk and have commercial use as well such plowing fields or transportation.

There was also less competition in the job market because women only worked a subset of lower paying jobs if they worked at all.

Would it be possible to emit high frequency sound that's undetectable to humans to warn birds away?

If you look on LinkedIn you'll see the vast majority of "African-American" Ivy League alumni are actually African immigrants. It seems without fail when I run into someone black that's a successful doctor or lawyer they often turn out to be an African immigrant. They're often quite coy about it and will only tell you when you ask them directly.

There's nothing wrong with immigrants but it seems as though immigrants are benefiting from programs meant to help the descendants of African-American slaves. The only question is if the Ivy League universities care about this or not.

Honestly at this point the US should just adopt the East Asian college entrance model.

One exam per year at the same time with no exceptions.

Completely race blind and no additional criteria other than school class rank and average school exam score.

Most of the black students are probably African immigrants. I see it all the time. If you just browse through LinkedIn and look at black Harvard/Ivy League alumni you'll immediately notice all the African immigrants

The same xenophobic rhetoric repeated ad naseum. It's only natural that US industries would work with the second largest economy in the world.

Are you sure? In the recent book about Uber written by Mike Isaac,the author stated that Lyft was the first to launch a low cost ride service with non professional drivers and Uber rushed to copy them.

I actually think the Pwc partner example is a poor one. Not all people that work at Pwc want to become partner as it necessitates 4 months/year of 7 day 94 hour work weeks for 8-12 years. Most people get the brand on their resume and then leave.

Imagine the irony if Huawei turns into an open source company that is the best option for user privacy.

Just by going with RISC-V they eliminate the issues with the Intel management engine.

I'm curious what Huawei will do next.
