So, first, you're misrepresenting the title, which is: Math is racist: How data is driving inequality

What about the story is bullshit? I might agree that the title is over-the-top and if all you do is scan the first 15 characters of story titles, then you might have a point. But deliberately misrepresenting the title in order to excoriate CNN is part of the problem.

According to the FBI, a hate crime is:

"A hate crime is a traditional offense like murder, arson, or vandalism with an added element of bias. For the purposes of collecting statistics, the FBI has defined a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” Hate itself is not a crime—and the FBI is mindful of protecting freedom of speech and other civil liberties."

No. The bakery is a 'public accommodation' and, as such, has to abide by things like the Civil Rights Act. Apparently, (IDK), Oregon extends these federal protections to LGBT people.

I personally believe so and, if twitter were the only internet platform for disseminating (political) speech, then they should be compelled to restore the accounts they've suspended. But they're not the only platform, so...

Well, I'm a liberal and I absolutely believe in the Second Amendment. In fact, I'm to the right of the NRA. And there are other issues for which I'm to the left of socialists.

Indeed. And just before the sentences you quote, Jefferson wrote:

"The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty."

So for those complaining about the left, (or the right), protesting the results of the election, fuck off.

From the conclusion at the end of the linked excerpt from the Federal Register:

The ability to accomplish a task has nothing to do with a willingness to accomplish a task.

exactly.

"The hand of Vengeance found the bed
To which the Purple Tyrant fled;
The iron hand crush'd the Tyrant's head
And became a Tyrant in his stead."

And not just that; there are many things about homelessness that hinder efforts to find work. In the end, there has to be some level of empathy for people. Without it there's little hope for the understanding that leads to proper solutions.

Right. And that's a problem. Try providing something for less fortunate people without strings. You know, providing for the sake of providing, because it's the RightThing(tm) to do, rather than as an effort to force your will on powerless people. What no one wants is the leash around their neck.

While I agree in principle that someone should be responsible for what they post, I agree much more strongly with the notion that, if you don't want nude pictures of yourself distributed across the net, then don't fucking take nude pictures of yourself. And certainly don't act the butt-hurt "victim" when they get loose.

From Article 1 of the Constitution:

While the Constitution did not explicitly "allow" slavery, it did implicitly recognize it's existence (the 3/5ths clause) and it could be argued thereby tacitly allowed it. With the 13th Amendment slavery was abolished.

I see nothing that suggests this software was "intended for nefarious purposes". going to their website, all I see are descriptions of legitimate use.

I don't know how rare it may be, but I don't care. there is something fundamentally flawed with people who say out of one side of their face that a 15 year old is too unsophisticated to decide that they want to suck cocks, then from the other side of their face say that an 8 year old knew exactly what he was doing when he killed someone. it's perverted and obscene.
