The male/female ratio in China isn't that skewed, it's something like 106:100. A lot of it is probably the same thing you see in every other country, where both men and women lose social skills and have unrealistic standards of what kind of partner they are entitled to.

"How might the attorney general address these issues?"

By achieving enough name recognition in the general population to win a US House or US Senate election and move to Northern Virginia for the rest of his life, returning "home" to Alabama only for reelection campaigns.

Right-wingers have been loudly cheering the inevitable economic downfall of California for years as its economy continues to grow. It must be so infuriating to them that Commiefornia just keeps getting richer.

"After 9 years as a US citizen, he could run for the US Senate. He would be 76 (or 74) years old.In short, it looks highly unlikely that he could (or even would) run for the US Senate."

Yeah, he would be way too young for our Senate.

It has happened under both.

I feel bad for entry-level folks -- though continually surprised how many of them outsource so much of their thinking to AI themselves. It seems like most college students cheat with AI, making them less useful as entry-level employees.

The young one know how "job" works mostly from watching enactments on video,
and expecting a TV work fantasy environment, getting to define their role to play there.
This is where the slack doesn't pay off like they had thought.

The situation with Guantanamo Bay is also clearly unconstitutional. It's right there in the word "constitution": that document defines how the nation-state (or confederation, if you prefer the legal fiction that the individual states are nation-states) is made up, what it consists of. The essence of the nation-state is geographically invariant: what varies with geography is how much authority it has to impose its essence. The argument that the US constitution doesn't bind the actions of the US outside its formal borders is nonsense, and to apply that argument to a place which is undeniably de facto under US jurisdiction is enhanced nonsense.

And you think the fact that carbon dioxide has steadily increased over the past 150 years or as we pump a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is a coincidence? You honestly believe that there is zero connection between pumping gigatons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and there being gigatons more carbon dioxide in the air than pre-industrial times? Completely unrelated events?

How 'bout if I buy now and pay after I die?

That street is a public space, and there are myriad laws and court cases allowing that to be photographed or otherwise recorded.

New legislation supersedes old legislation and jurisprudence unless that old legislation (respectively, the legislation the old jurisprudence is based on) is more binding (e.g. the constitution). Maybe it's time to start pressuring for new legislation which explicitly recognises an expectation of a certain level of privacy even in public spaces. There are places where your business' security camera isn't allowed to see the street in front of it: I live in one, although it's not in the USA.

my council is tensor.
do not cross a river with one on your back

sounds like the plots of a cheap SF movie.

> Start with the premise that a total ordering by merit is impossible.

why do you think so? you absolutely can hire by merit and its the simplest and most logical method.

> At best, you can define merit equivalence classes.

"equivalence" based on what? is this a mealy mouthed way to say "equity" or 'DEI" ?

when an idea fails, renaming it doesnt reset the universe.

That failed concept is exactly what caused the tragedy at hand. let it go.

> Within the top classes you should hire a random sample that has the same racial makeup as the population.

lol, this can never happen. you cant know which "equivalence class" someone is if you hire a random sampling. Youll end up hiring by merit if you pick the top performers, and doing DEI if you peek at their demographics and disabilities and ignore their ability level.

Just like any science, if you come up with a crazy theory and the evidence contradicts it over and over, its time to discard it and accept reality.

Whether we like it or not, whether we use Windows or not, Microsoft is going to insist on adding the tax whether the PC comes shipped with Windows or not. This is illegal bundling, Microsoft has essentially ignored prior rulings, and it's pretty much a certainty the courts will be fine with this.
