Comment Re:Still safer (Score 1) 501

I don't mean this in a condescending way, more in an educational way, but if you bought anything that's marketed as a "Gun Safe" you can get into them in about 20 minutes with an angle grinder. No thermal lance required. Gun safes aren't even safes, they're "Residential Security Containers" and the fireproofing rating on them (if any) is literally made up by the manufacturer and it's method of action is drywall insulation. Most (all?) gun safes have a nice think huge metal door with literal sheet metal siding reinforced with drywall so it sounds think and secure when you knock on it, but again, angle grinder.

I don't think most *sane* people have an issue with GMO/GE crops cross-pollinating. I think they have an issue with the patent on those crops being used to sue the ever loving shit out of the poor farmer who ended up with somebody's intellectual property growing in his field. I also understand that there are sterile GMO seeds being produced as well, ones that can't reproduce at all without a farmer having to buy more. All in the name of protecting intellectual property

Comment Source of the data? (Score 5, Insightful) 356

I was curious where the data for this report was being sourced, and we can see it's from hired.com. Under their methodology section we see "This report is based on proprietary data gathered and analyzed by Hired’s research and strategy data scientist, Dr. Jessica Kirkpatrick. The analysis in this study was done using a combination of voluntary, self-reported demographic data and a classifier that identified the gender of the candidate based on their first name."

Searching for Jessica Kirkpatrick in Google returns a few articles about her where the highlight is.... that she is in fact a woman. Her own public social media is nothing but a torrent of women's rights and equal pay stories and articles. So we have a clearly opinionated data scientist working with a set of "proprietary data" gathered by a private recruiting organization which focuses on diversity. Was there some other conclusion that anybody expected other then "MUH WAGE GAP IS REAL?"
