If the test "showed similar IQ results as a classic intelligence test", and the classic test is "biased", wouldn't that mean that this test is biased? Or would it have to mean that the classic test is *not* biased?
It's not a 100% correlation.
I'm sure the difference will shed some light on how and who is biased against in the test.
Try leaving your taps open and soon the utility company will call you and ask you what you're doing.
Unless they installed one of those new wireless meters, your water utility usually just averages your usage and makes you pay based on a best guess.
Depending on where you live, the meter might only get read once a year.
At that point, they'll adjust your billing if they over/undershot.
And even then, the utility will spread out the difference over the next X billing cycles.

If someone proves that they can't handle a level of responsibility, then I can understand rights being taken away, but to punish everything, to take away abilities from everyone? I find it insulting, that I am automatically assumed to not be responsible off the bat.
If we replaced "gun owners" with "business owners" and "guns" with "dumping toxic waste," we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
Maybe we should stop inspecting septic tanks and assume the owners will maintain their shit properly.
Fuck it, how about we stop licensing drivers and assume they are responsible until they show us otherwise?
Alternatively, everyone is a "responsible gun owner"... right up until the point where they aren't.
So instead of allowing society to bear the cost of an endless stream of documented irresponsibilities,
maybe we should take some proactive steps to create a safer environment for all of us.
The crazy thing is that most gun owners disagree with you. Gun owners aren't the problem!
The problem is the gun lobby, sponsored by gun manufacturers.
My biggest worry is what the websites might do to circumvent the change.

The educated reader would realize that productivity increases aren't distributed equally across the workforce.
Once upon a time, they were

Then things changed (the bottom half of this graphic)

"likely able to" is just conjecture. Try again with facts.
The numbers are out there, see if they support your hypothesis.
People became more productive due to technology. Now you are able to produce enough for you and your family in 40 hours / week. Before this technology advancement, you needed to work 60-80 hours / week in order to produce enough.
That's what you'd think isn't it?
The reality is somewhat different:

I'll leave it to the educated reader to deduce what happened to *40 years worth of difference between productivity and wages.
*It's not labeled, but the lines diverge in 1973
Yes there are other plants, but they're boring and do not serve as a backdoor totally-innocent-don't-look-at-me-like-that way to get marijuana legal.
Or Canada has an industrial hemp industry and this work is being done by "researchers at the University of Alberta [Canada]"
Outside of jurisdictions where(either because they are large and rough, or because the sheriff is compensating for something) some sub-group of the police are practically a standing army,
This was an intentional goal of the military, which has since been exacerbated by post-9/11 DHS spending.
But originally, because of fiascos like Kent State and Waco, the military decided to give police forces military grade hardware for dirt cheap.
This way, the DoD & National Guard wouldn't have to get their hands dirty when things escalated beyond the pistol and shotgun work that police forces were used to.
They might not use that particular system but I promise you snipers can and will use a targeting/tracking system should one be available that fits their mission parameters. I would be deeply shocked if such technology was not being very actively worked on by the military.
The introduction of snipers was a major force multiplier for military units.
Now this gun can be put into the hands of a proficient rifleman and used effectively to project force.
The only thing better would be self-guiding bullets.
I agree that it was a bad test case (good for Monsanto though).
The complication is that he bought grain elevator seeds once and then saved/replanted them for 8 years.
That seems like much less of a grey area than if he had kept buying them from the grain elevator every year.

However, do note that what they are discussing here is auditing 503(c).4 organizations, to make sure they were complying with the regulations.
That is, these organizations are supposed to be engaging in NON-POLITICAL activities, for which we give them the benefit of being non-profit (and, making donations to them tax deductible).
A) It's 501(c)4
B) Donations to 501(c)4 organizations are generally not tax deductible.
C) The purpose of a 501(c)4 organization cannot be primarily political
Tea Party groups were complaining about this in February of 2012.
