Comment Still can't be anonymous AND verifiable. (Score 1) 232

I don't understand how nobody ever mentions this but voting machines can't be both anonymous AND verifiable.
The only way to check on the count is to ask the machine itself so it's no verification at all.
That should be obvious to anyone thinking about it for more than 2 minutes.

You can't discriminate based on race, religion, sexual preference. You can discriminate based on whether or not somebody decides to wear a shirt. This is the way it is because at large, we deem it to be fair and prevent people from being discriminated against based on characteristics that are fundamental to living as they want or were born.

We don't deem being able to live your entire life without wearing a shirt to be fundamental to living your life freely. Pretty fucking simple.

I think you mean that it's somewhat acceptable to discriminate about something someone does, not about something someone is.

Comment Not "So Much", but "So Long" (Score 1) 729

The title is wrong, because it only refers to a duration (40 hours) and not a work quantity. It should have been "Why Do Americans Work So Long?".

You should check the OECD Stats, where you can find the GDP per hour worked, which should be a better indicator (not perfect, but better)

As an example, Norway or Irish people would work less time to generate more GDP, per capita.

What you want is an ideology... a belief system. Science is not a belief system.

I think the whole point is that everything is a belief system, even science.
At some point it always boils down to some core beliefs. Everything else is built on top of them.

Comment Professional phones and expense policy (Score 2) 482

One of the reason could be because some companies still reimburse only the contract monthly cost, and not for mobile phone itself. Some people do not want to use their personal phone, and prefer getting a new one, only for professional matters. In this case, the only way for them - if they don't want to entirely pay for a new phone - is to have a new contract, with mobile phone cost embedded.
