The arguments are similar to "Innocent until proven guilty." Look into precepts like that; which are illogical but have cogent arguments for such policies.

It is not that hard. Racists will circumvent any simple policy or law you set because it's incredibly easy when you decide any aspect of the process. This went on 100s of years. Games with definitions and interpretations are learned by children with their parents or school's rules. They also learn that "common sense" will catch and stop them while the letter of the law is easy to game. This is why some intellectually honest judge is needed over a rigid algorithm (literal or strict constructionist bs.)

Then you have unconscious biases which people naturally do simply with natural preference towards the familiar; race has nothing to do with it - if you are uncomfortable and unfamiliar working around women you will prefer men. If you worry you'll be too tired or drunk and say what you really think and get in trouble, you'll prefer "one of your own" but even without that simply a choice between comfort level will be a factor in any "gut" decision. Hell, your music taste preferences are all familiarity. Sure these things go too far with touchy hyper sensitive people (most millennials.)

Affirmative Action was destroyed by heavy sustained propaganda so then it changed to DEI. Which is now under attack. The name will change and repeat...

The illogical position of instituting counter bias is reasonable because you can't logically counter the problem against being gamed into meaninglessness. You have to force a counter measure at least until the problem is greatly reduced. Then you can stop until it becomes a problem again. which it likely will. Could be hair color next time... except it's not stopped enough to change into something else. Not that lesser things like clothing fashion don't happen forever... but that is enough of an issue people do dress code policies and uniforms. The guilty bias is unavoidable for almost everybody but the most Vulcan of us which is why the innocent bias is formal policy.

Humans are always deluded children; except when they are actually children.

This whole tip BS is to promote the tipping culture further when it needs to die like the RACISTS who promoted the whole thing into the culture.

It is along the same line of thinking of setting up donations as a replacement for health insurance. Or depending on private charities for welfare (so small it's almost a rounding error) or friends/family for unemployment support (for now, we still have unemployment insurance...Project 2028 should kill it...)

The IRS legally can't share tax data. I don't know what kind of stats they are allowed to share; which would make things easier to track-- although tax reporting is quarterly is it not? So for faster data you'd estimate in between quarter reports. Yes, it would be best if they go from IRS directly. The obvious fact that they do random surveys instead when you know they had to be aware of the IRS numbers to me makes it clear they were not allowed enough access and had to create the system they have now. If things changed I can also see how institutional momentum would keep them from changing old ways.

Quite. Wrong.
You learn it... but i'll give you a tiny bit-- modern corporations were born after the civil war or during. I forget. they are a different beast now. furthermore, the organization of them is defined by governments which differ by nation and time. They are not legal people until the court invented that like they invented presidential immunity. Money as speech is another matter; but it's also something that is not speech and if you want protections pass another amendment. I am sick of courts redefining words to avoid making laws and amendments be created so they can duct tape ugly solutions instead of require work be done.

Sounds to me like a situation where the noise problem coincides with many other problems. Such as noise caused by polluting devices or noise caused by bad neighborhoods or low income places where everything is allowed because they can't fight back.

Not that poor sleep doesn't slowly lead to many problems we are still uncovering. How does one separate out the many negative factors that go along with the noise?

Thank you for saying it.

Problem with it is that reason has no place in the USA.

People like you help the enemy. Reasonable descriptions are fine. This is reasonable.

To complain in this post-truth age where facts no longer matter and reason is under assault; by extension, it has spread into direct attacks on education itself. One of the few things the USA does well and responsible for it's huge advantage is being destroyed at their own peril - it's that insane. You are complaining about literal interpretation of "forever"? WTF is wrong with you?

You think somebody loses credibility by not using exact numbers? TODAY? so what about margins of error? and you must always fall for the "lack of scientific consensus" which always exists if there money to bribe 1 outlier.

Nuclear is NOT cheap! It's expensive and I've yet to see proof these next gen solutions actually work out; as is often the case, they play games figuring the problems will be fixed later by people in the future. It is not hard to find data on the net costs for nuclear and how we ignore the socialized RISK it has always had. Nobody will insure the things for good reason. If the government is essentially the insurer; then it should own and operate it like the military does! If we required this, then we'd not have grifters ("investors") heavily promoting it likely resulting in far less of it.

As far as powering crypto and AI with it, neither one are likely to be a net benefit anytime soon; except for the rich who exploit and own it.

No time to look at 100 concepts. the AI could do most of that given prompts that take less time than getting the artist to your office... or if you include the directions to the artist then waiting I'm sure skipping them is faster. How about the artist looks over 100s of ideas and only brings the you the top few to decide since they are supposed to have taste and you are just the boss.

I could see a good IT person rigging up an AI to take a feed from the staff meeting brain storming the project and generate images live while the meeting is ongoing. That would create a faster more productive situation; possibly. The artist could play with that during the meeting.

Anyhow, I'm not saying having somebody managing appearances isn't useful but that you could do with just 1 person in that job. I don't think throwing more output at them would necessarily be a huge benefit... for ideas, 1-2 people is plenty. For cranking out results once the decisions are made, then a schedule and money decides how many artists are needed -- and for that aspect of the work the AI is a force multiplier where you use the 1-2 people to replace dozens. Or nothing changes and now you shorten deadlines because your highly productive artist makes that possible. Faster to market and no labor changes is another option. It also could mean they are done sooner and do not need to be employed as long so they become gig workers...

You must not have noticed the last few years of layoffs?

Companies are NOT hiring people because they wishfully think AI will eliminate some of the jobs. So it already has cut jobs but they don't show up because those are future jobs; also masked by economic conditions.

Higher productivity = less labor = less jobs. Productivity gains doesn't increase labor, it reduces it and almost all of that goes to the owners too.

An artist can take a day to make it from scratch or they can prompt engineer and modify AI output. Hell, we don't even have AI brushes that auto-complete what you are painting yet.

Science nerds are interested if the scientist Pope who advocated UBI and vaccination to his billion followers died.

The Pope was a scientist and advocated for UBI aside from being influential in an organization that practically defines conservative opposition to change.

Vance is toxic to anybody with some decency and intelligence. His supporters lack one or the other or both.

I'm sure he'd raise my blood pressure and I'd lose sleep over confessions about couches he's had sex with. Neither would kill be but I'm not recovering from a near death experience at 88.

Since Trump didn't actually pick Vance for his VP, it's not his fault Vance killed the Pope.
Vance DID force a private meeting for a photo.
Vance IS an argumentative dick that nobody likes.
Vance went so far as to cause the Pope to publicly rebuke bullshit he said in the past.
Pope's last published statement:
"Today's builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers, and that those who fall along the way are losers. Theirs is the construction site of hell"

I'm frankly surprised some mayor hasn't been bribed into selling ad time on the things long ago!
"Brought to by Carl Jr" or "Brawndo the thirst mutilator"

This is the kind of fun that should be encouraged as long as it's responsibly done; such as a timeout self-restoration and not disabling functionality. Somebody should make a tool that makes it easy so they can be updated by many people but never in too bad of a way... so it only stays about 1 week. It can also retain some functionality too. I'm sure they will want to find and punish the clever artist behind this... and invent an crewel and unusual punishment not befitting the "crime" under the tired fallacy of "making an example" which you masses all fall for. I wish more pioneering criminals would appeal the unjust consequences of being the 1st.
