Reminds me of The Riddler...

Warren goes a bit incoherent when she writes that Amazon buying Whole Foods is a big anti-competitive problem...

The generic explanation is: The 'minority' can often have worse interview results and still get the job over a non-minority.

There was recently in the news a lawsuit against Harvard I believe, because there is some evidence that a White or Asian (minority in US but not in schools as a lot of them attend school) student can have better admissions testing scores and a "underrepresented" minority with lower scores gets admitted instead.

Wikipedia: In other countries, such as the UK,[7][8][9] affirmative action is rendered illegal because it does not treat all races equally.

Even if an overwhelming majority of people believe state shootings (with guns) of people who won't hand them over is moral and ok in society.. the point of my reply still stands and has nothing to do with the right to self-defense etc.

There are plenty of times in history when overwhelming majorities beliefs took away minority rights.

When reading the wrong words can get you 10 years in prison, it probably does trend towards Orwell's future though.

"Guns are too dangerous, give them to us or we'll shoot you and take them from your cold, dead hands" might be a little bit totalitarian.

There have definitely been recalls/warnings for firearms which have misfired without anyone's finger on the trigger.

Why is there value in keeping the ecosystem in a state we're familiar with? It's not like alligators were "always there" either. Animals migrate, things change, and us ensuring that the animal populations always match what they were in 1995 is hubris.

They may seldom attack humans, but it wouldn't be safe/smart to let your kids play outside if there were jaguars around.

Americans use the word apartment as something that is rented. You don't buy an apartment, well unless you're a landlord. It's owned by somebody else.

I think the way you are using the word is our "condo", perhaps.

Foolproof method of preventing more victims - just put all the people guilty of those 2 crimes in prison for life. That way, they can never get out and re-offend.

There's already too many cases of someone getting a sentence of only a few years for one of those crimes, and then upon getting out, reoffending in the same or worse way within a few months.

On the TV show White Collar, there's an episode where a fake (paper) case file is put together and adding coffee mug stains is part of the process.

They're not allowed to prove it. It's a scandal that they are even asking the question - someone was fired for it.

Sheryl Sandberg recently got in big trouble for having investigators look into whether he shorted $FB before going up on a public platform to talk about $FB ethical issues.

the feed the animals are happy to eat is boring and can grow very densely, the food vegans would like to eat (if a lot of people went vegan) would assuredly not just be corn, or wheat, or legumes.

Don't forget 2019!

Does equipping the amulet of life saving protect you from those issues?

I think you're in the minority with that view of GDPR being well-implemented judging by previous threads, and secondly that website (news org) is really is for/about a specific city and it's not really relevant if they are required to block some foreigners halfway across the world because of their foreign laws.

" it will have come as no surprise when Romanian authorities attempted to use the GDPR’s wide powers to threaten journalists investigating corruption in the country. "

I've heard the "we depend on illegal migrant workers to keep food affordable because they are the only people who will work for $3/h" line a few times and it usually comes from the 'anti-wall' folks.

It is perhaps necessary as Germany now has to import coal.

Heroes. A good hero selection is p2w because you may not have a reasonable counter to xyz enemy. They used to sell Runes too (I believe an update made this invalid). Of course, you can get all this stuff for free just by playing 100s of hours, if you have the time/will.

IME most SMS verification is bundled with some additional information submitted by the user (e.g. secret information, ID information).

You're comparing it to old junk. Whatsapp is far superior to FB Messenger. Discord is far superior to Skype, etc.

I would say the main reason they are stored underwater is mostly because they need a place to transfer heat to lest they melt and cause a critical mass of spent fuel.

If you find people staying safe to be tremendously harmful to your politics it might be time to reconsider your viewpoints.

Won't happen. Apps with those features get accused of being racist.

Facebook apparently :)

You're confusing investment with constraint-free donation.

On the other hand, we do already have evidence that there are individuals who get a job at Tesla with the sole goal of getting them to unionize and no motivations actually wanting/needing the job.
