Comment They were removing non-asian names (Score 2) 47
I dug into the sources a bit. Apparently they were excluding white neighborhoods from checks, then somebody else was removing non-asian names before forwarding it for further investigation.

Looking into the sources and tracing a bit:
The city has assessed the vast majority of the fines—more than 85 percent—against owners of Asian descent. A SMUD analyst avoided searching homes in a predominantly white neighborhood, while a police official removed non-Asian names from one of the lists generated by SMUD before forwarding the information on for further investigation.
If they actually did this, well, that's like how the NRA forced most "may issue" states to be effectively "shall issue" for various weapon permits.
When the police can't come up with a good reason for denying the black woman's permit request when she has letters from a ex-boyfriend stalker threatening to kill her, who is due to be released from prison soon, but the white doctor living in a gated community gets it first thing, there are questions to be asked. Especially when permits for black people have a 99% reject rate while whites get them 90% of the time.
Ah yes, I guess they weren't *true* Scotsmen either?
In this case, I mean literally... literally. You can find citations trivially. Everyone should know this by now. If you want to talk about Nazis, you should know something about Nazis.
Just to be clear, I believe that part of the problem was that the city government was broke and basically in receivership. Ergo, the politicians in Flint were not actually in control of the water contracts, it was an emergency manager appointed by Governor Rick Snyder(R).
I remembered the broke part and not in control, looked up the specifics.
Basically, to cut costs, the manager stopped the practice of piping water from Detroit and started using the historically very polluted and corrosive Flint River, without adequate testing and treatment (itself actually a violation of federal law).
Because many of the homes still had lead service pipes, going from basic to acidic caused the protective oxidization on the pipes to dissolve, putting excessive lead into the water.
It eventually made national news, but by all measures, this is still a far better situation than what Tehran is facing.
Switching back to the old water source or adding more controls like running the water through a filter of crushed limestone to correct the PH fixes the issues in Flint. No such easy solution is possible for Tehran.
It's almost as if making long-term commitments while under the influence of short-term feelings is fundamentally unwise.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the high divorce rate in the developed world....
"Remember, Na-Zi means National SOCIALIST, and that's that fascism is."
Remember, the Nazis literally called themselves socialists to fool stupid people, and you also don't know what either socialism or fascism is if you think one is a type of the other.
He wasn't a Nazi but George Washington did a genocide and was named "Town Killer" for it. And before someone points out that was his father, no, his father (who was also named George) ALSO did a genocide and was called the same thing for the same reason.
Sorry, I didn't get that quite correct, they're Passive Autocatalytic Recombiners. They require no external power.
It wasn't just the generators or sea wall. Another one of the problems is that they never installed the hydrogen reformers designed to burn off the hydrogen buildup from an overheating core safely.
As recommended by the reactor manufacturer and installed on US plants.
There would have been a lot less boom with them installed.
NT existed when IBM brought out at least two major versions of OS/2 without such features while NT had them, so... No.
Even if it is in the largest font size, is the average person even going to understand what the ramifications are?
No, but it would let people who care know, and it would let people who potentially care google and find out.
My question is, why only 10 hours a month!?!? I'm sure that's the only reason it's free, but that should also alleviate some of the bandwidth usage concerns.
I would tend to assume that if you pay you get more, so it's just a trial version, and this is just an indirect slashvertisement.
There really needs to be an international age verification working group that spends the next five years coming up with a system, then pressures everyone to implement it.
I don't think creating a centralized world ID database is going to be a win at this point.
OS/2 had no security features needed for multiuser support. It might as well have been classic MacOS. Citrix had a multiuser version of OS/2 with security tacked on, but it wasn't a realistic solution and was never popular. Building an OS without security was the moronic decision that killed it. Plus IBM never did anything meaningful to promote it so nobody cared. That it was used anywhere (especially in ATMs) was a horrible decision itself because of the lack of security features and has created untold woes. Maybe nobody ever got fired because they bought IBM, but they should have.
It is neither right or wrong
It's wrong. The processor has a feature. People will reasonably assume they can use that feature. Then they find out it's disabled.
assuming the features or lack thereof is declared upfront.
If that declaration is not in the largest font size used in the materials then it's hidden.
We can defeat gravity. The problem is the paperwork involved.
