WrongAssumption

Proportion is always the argument concerning Israeli responses, never with anybody else.

Seems more accurate to me. Department of Defense was the one that seemed like a euphemism.

Based on what? You guys said that about the tariffs right before the SC struck down the tariffs.

That's great. But that not how everyone else in the world uses 'regime'. So you will have to come to terms with that.

But that is his point with "or the government can always do it indirectly with the same effect"

The company doesn't have that power, but the government can compel companies to provide them with the same data as long as it exists, and then abuse it in the same way as if they had collected it themselves.

I can guarantee that's 100% not his reason given that his stated alternative is switching to Android.

No thanks. I want packages delivered when I’m not home. If i want it to be handed to me I can require it be handed to me, picked up, or delivered to a nearby store. If I wanted to go pick up a package I would just go to the store in the first place.

Most stuff doesn’t matter, and is rarely stolen. If something matters I’ll just have the delivery company do what I guess is required in where you live, I can choose.

Is that a position you've been in before? If so is that what you did?

It's absolutely undeniable that interviewing is meant to filter out undesirable behavior. What in the world do you think it is? So many people cannot just walk in and start working next to you, very few will be selected.

You are pointing out behavior that is different, but not undesirable. Which is not being discussed. i.e., kids who distrust other kids learning is undesirable. As would people who create hostile work environments, or are inefficient, or unreliable, or don't have the right connections.

In my place of work people nearly universally went to top end universities, a much larger proportion than the normal population have phds. you think that's random? And more locally if you work on a sales team you are going to be hired to work directly with people that have certain shared traits that make them effective sellers. It's so obvious that interviewing is an active filter I'm not even sure what to do to convince someone that thinks otherwise.

I'm not sure how you equate any of that to workplace politics or gossip. Even if it was relevant, the fact that it is not a perfectly effective filter doesn't make it not a filter.

Home schooled kids walk down sidewalks, go to concerts, go grocery shopping.

Most workplaces are highly filtered. The whole interview process is specifically geared towards filtering out undesirable people.

Different scene. Margo Robbie explained sub-prime mortgages. Selena Gomez explained synthetic CDOs.

Your link bolsters the point of the person you are responding to. The lowering of standards is the relevant portion. It would be relevant if they lowered standards for any group, just happened they lowered them for poor families.

Not remotely true, and the US isn't even the worst. Students in the UK graduate with more debt.
