Aside from the confusing conflation of sums and rates mentioned in other replies, your argument assumes that correlations are transitive and exhaustive—i.e., that because socioeconomic status correlates with crime, any group with lower crime must have higher socioeconomic status. Which of course is invalid because correlations do not compose across variables, and crime is multi-causal

>She said they presented no proof to back up their claims that the government had pressured social media companies like Twitter and Facebook into restricting their speech. “Unfortunately,” she said, the Fifth Circuit court of appeals “relied on factual findings that are “clearly erroneous.”

Those next two sentences from your article seem to contradict your assertion that it was because it wasn't Facebook that brought the case.

If it's so clear cut then why did SCOTUS throw that case out?

Which statistics are you talking about? According to the article, the only statistics available are from self reported data.

Maybe competence with respect to having the instructors be certified. Or at least trained by people whose credentials aren't suspended.

It's interesting you focus on the alcohol claim but not any of the accusations mentioned in the article that would have gotten people killed.

NCFZ | 4 years ago | on: Companies excluding Coloradans from remote jobs to avoid sharing salary ranges

I was surprised. I wasn't expecting a major tech company who's website is plastered with things about "valuing diversity" to be one to pick a fight over a such a minor requirement in a gender equality law.

True, but the most of the examples people found are of companies that already have Colorado employees.

I had a laptop with a similar amd cpu and even though it was rated for the same wattage, it was a lot more inefficient. The laptop would get warm just watching youtube videos and the fans would always kick on.

In contrast to the M1 which is so efficient that Apple doesn't even put a fan in it on its lower end models, and it still barely gets warm.

Also the battery life is a lot better on the m1.
