What's the difference between egregious racism disguised as "data" and data relating to race that contradicts liberal priors ?

The "real" Anonymous was. Now some other hacktivist group uses the name to cash in on the clout. People get really excited when they hear Anonymous is back at work.

My comment was tongue in cheek, but is based on my experience with both groups, especially as they exist online. Part of what's strange is how often age of consent comes up in thes…

It's just an idiom. But to clarify I'm not on this particular horseshoe at all.

There's a libertarian-socialist horseshoe on age of consent laws. The more ideological one becomes, the more passionate they are about lowering the age and distinguishing between t…

I don't use Sublime often anymore, but it's the only graphical editor I can work with. I can't help but get exasperated at the constant, admittedly small, delays with VS Code. I'm …

Three more anecdotes here: my mother, uncle, and wife chopped off the tips of their fingers (him doing farm work, them chopping food) and had them grow back. The article talks abou…

"Far-right activists report far-left doxxing rings to Twitter." This is important news.

If you click on the github link, it redirects to an archived repo under that username.

2̶7̶ 2 dependencies, travis ci configured, fully tested and documented, even the readme depends on some external tool. github username is i-voted-for-trump. Looks like a joke that …

This was one of the more entertaining parts of the trial. The defense stated that "AI and logarithms" (algorithms) were used to enhance the image when zoomed in, and the prosecutio…

First, Black didn't sell the gun to Rittenhouse. He bought it with Rittenhouse's money and allowed Rittenhouse to use it. Second, Black has been charged but not convicted, and I do…

Of all cases to lament the lack of evidence for, why this one? We have video from multiple angles covering the entire event, dozens of witnesses, forensic evidence. Lack of evidenc…

No. Whatever the state of mind of both parties, Grosskreutz and Huber were responsible for engaging Rittenhouse in combat (in the second encounter). Even if the initial encounter w…

A few months ago I submitted a link to Jean Meeus's Astronomical Algorithms (now available at https://shopatsky.com/products/astronomical-algorithms-2nd-e... ) without realizing it…

Not much new AFAIK. Of the "big three" racial/ethnic groups, Whites and Hispanics are underrepresented and Blacks are overrepresented, which has been the norm for a long time. I do…

This sounds highly location-dependent. I'm in rural America, and the poor here, with extremely rare exceptions, own cars. There are people living in dilapidated shacks with SUVs in…

Yeah, it's not quite the same situation, but it's an interesting synchronicity. They're technically different words in English as well, but have converged in pronunciation and spel…

Another one that stuck with me is that "matsu" in Japanese matches both English senses of "pine": the pine tree, or being consumed with longing.

They aren't strictly synonymous but, as you should know, in this context an "informant" is a kind of agent, both on paper and in practice. They aren't informants in a conventional …

In a democracy, people should be allowed to protest if they believe an election is not free and fair, no? If not, why? This is a strange line in the sand that to my knowledge has n…

They weren't. You, I, and everyone else knows that hyperbolic, sometimes violent language is par for the course on both sides of the aisle. It's actually protected speech. Whatabou…
