They actually have training / excercises within the Army (and I assume other branches), where they intentionally sleep deprive you while evaluating you on tasks. It’s assumed there will be points in battle where you can’t sleep. 24hrs without sleep happened fairly often, but the longest training that I can recall with sleep deprivation lasted 72 hours. Most people did manage to “sleep” during that time, but 20 minutes at most, as the cadence of the tasks was designed that you couldn’t sleep at all. I must admit though my platoon could mostly do our jobs in our sleep because the actions had been drilled into us and we had done them so many times with little or no sleep.

I believe backup cameras and TPMS systems are now mandatory for US cars, so some of the complexity is mandated at least for “production” vehicles.

Stereotyping is a distinction without much of a difference. I don't think anyone who has ever been slighted ever felt relieved to realize the person wasn't actually racist, or sexist, or ageist, but just "stereotyping." A few years ago, I had arrived for the final round of interviews and was mistaken for a security guard by one of the interviewers. I received an offer for that position but I declined. The company subsequently contacted me about another position, but I declined that as well. Prior to that incident, I was very excited about working there. It could've been an honest mistake, without any racist intent, but I couldn't shake my doubts about that company. Work already has the potential to create enough stressful situations without any added complications, so why gamble when you don't have to?

Wouldn't deepfakes have similar legal requirements as the Tupac hologram used at Coachella? http://www.ipbrief.net/2012/04/19/tupac-hologram-rocks-coach...

Often one is not 100% certain they are being discriminated against or for the reason. Rarely do people publicly admit their biases, particularly in a professional setting. In some cases people can't actually recognize the bias in their decisions.

Black people in America are often taught that they will experience racism, there's a ton of history to back up that assertion, and they have most likely experienced some event that confirmed this teaching. Given that context, racism often seems like a plausible explanation when not meeting some subjective criteria and it's hard to rule out.

As a black person you can't completely rely upon the experiences of white people (or other races) for guidance. It's not unusual for black person to mimic the actions of others and have a completely different experience.

I often hear the phrase "cultural fit", particularly in Silicon Valley and cringe. It feels like a new way to express prejudice and cronyism.

Wow, I believe that was an overtly bigoted comment. So there is no legal commerce conducted in 'ebonics'? I had no idea when I was a kid that all those people making grocery purchases at the corner store were engaging in illegal activities.

Wasn't this already done? http://www.mnn.com/green-tech/research-innovations/blogs/boy...

As a former Michigander, I would disagree. I miss the Michigan left, I find it's much faster in heavy traffic and makes traffic flow more efficiently.
