There is a restart action. You need to first add the Shut Down action, then you can change it to Restart.

People predicting the Canadian housing bubble would burst probably didn't think the government would resort to such absurdly high levels of immigration.

"Advancement" implies improvement. Just because things are changing does not mean they are improving.

> Karen Walsh, the president of the UW Board of Regents, said she was “alarmed” and “disgusted” by Gow’s actions, which were, she stated, “wholly and undeniably inconsistent with his role as chancellor.” But Gow’s actions were neither consistent nor inconsistent with being chancellor. Strictly, his actions were outside the scope of that role. Or they could be considered so, if most Americans simply chose to see the situation that way.

People's actions outside of work are still an indication of who they are as a person, and being an effective leader generally requires that your subordinates have some level of respect for you. As the article itself admits, the majority (58%) of Americans consider porn to be immoral. Most people aren't going to have much respect for someone who engages in behavior they view as immoral, particularly if the individual has a long history of such behavior (as is the case here).

The leader of an organization is also viewed by people as a representative of the organization's values. If people view the leader of an organization as immoral, it will deter them from engaging with that organization.

This brings to mind a pending bill in California where they are trying to amend the state constitution to allow the state to discriminate based on race, sex, etc. as long as it is "research-based" or "research-informed". In practice, I imagine it would enable the state to cherry-pick or even solicit research that would allow them to discriminate in the way that they want.

The major problem — one of the major problems, for there are several — one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

It's more of an amusing fact, given the topic of the article.

They could still report breaking news and unverified claims, but they should at least do so in a slightly more responsible way, e.g. by limiting the headline to only what is actually verified at that time. If they want to include unverified claims in the body of the article, at least there they have more space to make it more explicitly clear what is and is not verified.

I am reminded of this video of a young woman showing a "day in the life" of a LinkedIn employee

Some interesting numbers from the article

> According to a report by Berkeley, Latino candidates constituted 13 percent of applicants and 59 percent of finalists. Asian and Asian American applicants constituted 26 percent of applicants and 19 percent of finalists. Fifty-four percent of applicants were white and 14 percent made it to the final stage. Black candidates made up 3 percent of applicants and 9 percent of finalists.

The Supreme Court has a long history of overruling prior Supreme Court decisions, and has done so over 200 times.

The article includes a video showing they were able to use FaceApp on the non-smiling photo to reproduce the smiling photo exactly.

They also include analysis comparing the smiling photo to other existing photos of those people smiling and note that in the smiling photo some people are depicted with dimples that the person doesn't actually have.

Imagine writing that racist nonsense about any other demographic.

For example, replace "white women" with "Jews"

> Time called the meme "Internet shorthand ... for a particular kind of racial violence Jews have instigated for centuries—following a long and troubling legacy of Jews in the country weaponizing their victimhood.

Now account for rates of violent crime.

> Also, "it's okay to be white" is not a hidden rake of a dogwhistle to stumble on. If that were a serious position, it immediately leads to the question of "who is saying otherwise".

I found a few examples if you are interested:

> conservatives are objecting after the discovery of a speech by Berkeley Professor Zeus Leonardo in which he discussed the need “to abolish whiteness.” […] “to abolish whiteness is to abolish white people”

> Wasn't this the company that announced they were laying people off based on race in the last round of layoffs?

Oh yeah, they were. I forgot about that.

> As you all know, we are committed to becoming an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression company. Layoffs like this can have a more pronounced impact on marginalized communities, so we were particularly focused on ensuring our layoffs – while a business necessity today – were carried out through an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression lens.

I notice they did not include similar language in this new round of layoffs.

I‘ve seen plenty of overt racism coming from some people who advocate for DEI too (I can provide examples if you would like), so I don’t really see what your point is. Guilt by association is silly.

I’m not particularly upset, and I don’t necessarily disagree with the rest of your comment.

My comment was more related to the fact that in my experience there are quite a number of people who have no qualms about suggesting that black people are over represented in sports like running and sprinting, professional basketball, and professional football because they are just naturally better athletes, but then will absolutely refuse to even entertain the possibility that some other races or ethnic groups might be naturally better in other fields like science and engineering. I find that sort of thinking rather inconsistent, so I was mostly just probing to see what the person I was replying to believed.

Of course this sort of discussion is going to be controversial since suggesting that a certain ethnic group is naturally better than other ethnic groups in some sense, even if only in certain areas, would seem to fit the traditional definition of racism.

> black peoples' bodies are far more suited for strenuous physical activities than asians'

> […]

> The reality is asians aren't as physically capable as other races, generally speaking.

Do you apply similar logic to explain why black people are underrepresented in technical fields while Asian people are over-represented? Would you say that Asian peoples’ minds are “far more suited” for strenuous intellectual activities than black peoples’?

> who promises that "the party-planning process will be streamlined" (WTF?) and that "more administrators will be hired" to do so (WTF?).

The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy

Now that they’ve made it abundantly clear that the whole “free speech absolutism” approach is obviously not being pursued, I don’t see why Twitter didn’t just take the same approach that was used when Apple, Google, Amazon, etc. deplatformed Parler. Just claim that these platforms are filled with hate speech and violent rhetoric, and cherry-pick a few examples to use as evidence.

As for the banning of ElonJet and some journalists for sharing location information, they should just say the new policy is being implemented to combat “stochastic terrorism.”
