Why is racial profiling wrong?

Aren't you just making statistical inference based on past experience?

if that is wrong then all learning is wrong.

>One potential solution is directly government funded news

Where does the government get its money to fund news? Either from the local population which is enforced support for an economically non-viable business or it can get money from other people who have no interest in the local news of another place far away.

If good local news is not profitable, then that means there is not enough interest to justify the cost of making good local news. This is not a failure of the free market to provide a critical public good. The free market is working exactly as intended, and what YOU call 'critical' public good, isn't really that critical, according to people who would actually consume said good.

And then you want the government to enforce your personal idea of what is 'critical' by forcing people to buy things they don't want.

yikes indeed

When I was at university my roommate was a rich mainlander chinese whose dad bought him an AMG mercedes. So the average car for that household was in the 100k's needless to say i wasn't driving anything near that.

>What we should really achieve is 1Gbps symmetric connections. Then the cloud is your LAN

jokes on you because my LAN is 100. also im pretty sure all 4 ports on my el cheapo switch are shared.

I thought about downloading all the youtube videos that I consider have future watching values but then i realised it would take way too much effort and storage space to download and tag/categorise them and that there is no limit to my hoarding tendency.

>This is about your guests,

who consented to the conditions of your house when entering. If he is not sure he ought to hire a civil engineer to inspect and verify the safety status of the house or ask the host to do it.

>your children,

who is your ward and is subjected to the decisions of its parent with regards to all of life choices

>the person that buys your house next,

ditto the guest situation except for buying

>the person that lives next door

this is the only legitimate case for regulation, to protect the public and/or third party.

>so they threw their (still very hot) excess soup from their pot out the window and it got all over me.

This is not a problem of housing but of manners. You can get rid of hot soup without infringing of other people's ability to walk around the public area and not be wet.

>Americans should feel nothing but disgust for most of our housing policy, and single family homes should be derided as one of single worst allocation of resources the American public makes.

In your opinion.

Some people think driving cars are bad. Some people think eating meat is bad. Some people think space heating is a waste of electricity.

Everybody seems to think their particular way of living is perfect and everybody else is either too wasteful or doesn't know how to live.

Your argument really is just "this is my subjective opinion of how to live and people who disagree are wrong".

>What I think stinks is that companies seldom thinks of accessibility.

that's because there aren't as many blind people as seeing people.

People do like to hero worship. I think it's a psychological thing.

Although I disagree with saying that you can never reach a level of somebody that's you idolise. What I observe with myself and others is that people emulate those they idolise and emulating people who are really good at something would help you improve.

Confucianism was chosen by the chinese power-that-be because he encouraged obedience and conformity. It's the reason Chinese society stagnated with a monolithic central authority. With a more libertarian approach, there would be more trade and research and given chinese huge population and food availability, they might have made a lot of technological progress and we would have a colony on Mars by now.

So in that way confucianism was similar to christianity during the dark age in that they were used by the powerful to sedate the masses.

I don't think people write lisp interpreters for performance reasons. It's more a computer science exercise which helps you understand languages better.

So basically it's a clickbait title.

People have been doing programming even though it's unfashionable forever for their interest in the activity itself.

So if these people would do it either way, what's the delta of people that you will attract when it becomes fashionable?
