In my job, I train a lot of people. I tell them to stop rushing, because errors made in haste take so much effort to clean up. I prefer accuracy over speed. Getting people to stop thinking metrics and to start thinking consequences is hard!

Fr. Many things are negotiable. My manager asked my team to start a new task. I said yes BUT given the workload, asked if we could stop a diff task. If you have a good manager, they listen and problem solve with you. Since leaving school, I have never had someone push back on my request for accomms.

What we consider an "accommodation" is biased. Glasses are an accommodation - they help correct a deficit. But if the thing that helps you is taking a test in a quiet room, suddenly that's "cheating".
People drone on about school deadlines, but in the real world, ppl get extensions all the time

A friend's brother was detained. He is an American citizen with indigenous ancestry. I guess someone thought he didn't look white enough. Being a citizen or carrying your papers with you will not protect you.

There are 4(ish) functions to post-conviction consequences: determent, punishment, rehab, and societal protection. Hellish jails are a moderate deterrent and a severe punishment, but decrease the effectiveness of rehab, which undermines societal protection because most cons will eventually get out

Jail is one kind of punishment, but it's expensive, traumatizing, and can actually make low-risk offenders more criminal when they mix with higher risk cons. Overcrowding amplifies risk of violence, staff burnout, and med emergencies being ignored. But yet jail is the only punishment we can think of

Xenophobia aside, those 100 million people are also vital to the economy. They are buying groceries, driving cars, using the internet, etc. They are generating demand for goods and services. You really don't want rapid population shrinkage, especially among working age/tax paying age people

I am not Jewish, but my understanding is that Shabbat is like a family dinner on Friday night. It's a way to welcome the sabbath. Part of the point of the sabbath is to be with friends/family.

1) If I'm allowed to cover my face in winter with a scarf, a Muslim woman can cover her face with a veil if she wants, it affects literally no one else. Let women dress themselves. 2) If a woman feels pressure to wear a veil when she doesn't want to, is the best support racism and Islamophobia?

Unfortunately, you can't be sued for defamation if you are stating what the government reports as fact (it's called fair reporting privilege). It's meant to provide protection to journalists reporting on government activity

There is probably a place for AI in medicine, however, decisions, and therefore the responsibility for those decisions, should be made by a person. I also worry about privacy. If AI works by constantly adding data to a dataset, then I don't know who else can access my data or how it is being used
