So? Your point?

Considering that a geneticist can look at a DNA sample and determine the race of the person it came from, I'd call that a rather glaring deficiency in modern genetics. This has all the credibility of a physicist telling us gravity is a social construct.

Sciences that consistently "disprove" the crashingly obvious should be regarded with the utmost suspicion.

So, how does anyone enter the workforce?

One reason for quarterly reporting is that it gives greater transparency and insight into how a business actually works. Many businesses are seasonal. Most obviously, virtually all retail has its best quarter at the end of the calendar year. But many other types of businesses have key cycles each year that are tied to, for example, the buying habits of their largest customers. Suppliers matter, too; if farms have a bad quarter due to weather or other factors, for example, you're going to want to watch how that impacts food producers somewhere down the line.

Well, somebody recommended them to me. At high doses, too.

I remember hearing, years ago, that the EU no longer recommends beta blockers as a first-line treatment for hypertension (high blood pressure) for a similar reason: They don't seem to do anything. Sure, they lower your blood pressure numbers, but (as I recall) the meta-study showed no appreciable difference in outcomes. That is, people who received beta blockers experienced the same number of heart attacks, strokes, and other hypertension-related problems as the group that didn't take them.

No good deed goes unpunished.

I see Ofcom has a form for submitting complaints.

You know what to do and how to do it!

Real question: What would be the point of that? Even hoarded gold would have no value if nobody but a select group of people could do anything with it.

This country's government is designed to have checks and balances on power. Congress isn't supposed to rubber-stamp every suggestion the President makes about spending -- they're the ones in charge of those decisions. Judges, particularly at the highest levels, aren't supposed to be partisan stooges; they're supposed to follow the law, but that doesn't seem to be what we have now. Nobody outside of the executive seems to want to exert their power, for fear of losing it. Apparently, it's enough to be able to claim having it.

Based on their press release, it looks like it's just the case that Chinese automakers are using them more. On their "ecosystem" list, you don't see any Waymo/Jaguar, Tesla, or other companies making cars for the U.S. market (except Volvo).

Apparently Ofcom has a form for registering complaints. Feel free to express yours.

A government that's dedicated solely to extracting as much money from the U.S. economy and awarding it as gifts to loyalist oligarchs couldn't screw up a corporation worse than it already is? Ye of little faith.

All these constant "updates," adding and removing features and changing UI elements, are all part of trying to convince customers that the operating system, itself, "needs" to be SaaS.

I had a friend whose job at Oracle was to gin up fake demos of products that didn't exist. When the customer saw the demo and decided they wanted it, the second-tier sales staff would drag out pricing negotiations until the product was actually built. If the customer ever got anything for their trouble, it was an alpha at best.

I ran a dedupe on my drive and eliminated 8 redundant copies of the goatse guy.
