Since this data is about occupation and not training, it seems like the "Teacher" category would skew a lot of other categories. Is a Computer Programming Teacher in the "Teacher" category or the "Computer Programming" category? Probably "Teacher" since that is their occupation. But it hides the fact that they probably have the background & skills to be a programmer but chose a different outlet to use their knowledge.
I've never used Snapchat but I can tell you that I hate the wasted space in the new Facebook app that is reserved for Stories. Since launch, I've also seen only one story posted. And out of principle (for how stupid it looks) I didn't even open it.
My charging brick is almost as big as my phone. I think I can charge my phone 3 times with it. Sure, it has its uses for times when I might be away from a charging source for a few days or I need make sure multiple devices stay charged or when I might be on it way more than normal (ie, train/plane travel). But while those use cases do exist, they are actually pretty rare. I don't want to have to carry it every single day just to get through the day. I rarely have a bag with me during my normal day-to-day activities so any external battery is going to be in my pocket (or I guess left in my car if I know I'll have access to it when I need a charge). But 95% of the time I would much rather just have a phone ~10% thicker that could really go all day instead of needing to always carry a second device w/ 3 days of charge. I don't really need 3 days of charge very often. I just need a good solid day, every day.
Damn it! I am really enjoying my S6 and kind of just assumed I'd be getting the S8 when it comes out since I'll be due for an upgrade by then. But I am not on board with removing the headphone jack. I don't know who is asking for phone makers to keep shaving a mm or 2 off the thickness each iteration, but I would much rather have a headphone jack in a slightly thicker phone. I don't like wireless headphones because they are just one more thing that I have to keep charged. I don't know what I hate more: Apple for leading the way on stupid things or other makers for following them.
(I actually still wish I had a physical keyboard.)
It seems they'll almost have to have non-solar tiles that match. Currently, most people don't cover their entire roof with solar panels if they have sections that don't get enough sun to make panels there worth the extra cost.
Nearly caught my bed on fire by not understanding that a battery-powered motor isn't going to spin faster if I plug it into the wall. It even dimmed the house lights enough for my dad to come into my room to check if I noticed it too. I pretended nothing had happened. No one ever noticed the singed hole in my sheets.
Bay Area office for a SoCal based company with other offices scattered around the US. I work from home M-Th and go into the office on F.
While WFH, I usually start around 8:30 so I can get emails and stuff out of the way before our standing 9:00 sprint meeting. I have quite a bit of flexibility on when I take lunch (some times I eat at my desk while working, some times I eat in the living room watching tv). I wrap up my day around 6ish. Often I am multi-tasking between work and cooking dinner between 5-6.
On Fridays I usually try to get in before 8 because parking is cheaper if I enter before 8. Group lunch is usually about an hour (give or take... depending on how many people are there). I usually leave around 3-4. My boss understands my commute isn't great (neither is his) so he's cool with me cutting out a little early on Friday. He does too. He also works from home most days. If he isn't going to be in on Friday, then I usually don't go in either.
My boss is big on letting your work product show how much you're working. As long as I'm getting my crap done, he doesn't really care if I take a 3 hour lunch and then work at 9PM. Most of the team I work with is spread out, with only three in our office. So working from home is not much different than working from the office. Even at the office, meetings are online, taken at my desk. (Which is weird some times since my office is right next to my boss's office and I can usually hear him through the wall half a second before I hear him on the call.) But it is nice to get some face time with my boss (and coworkers from other teams I'm not on) once in awhile.
I find it kind of sad that we can fall all over ourselves declaring how some white judges are totally biased against minorities (or biased in favor of other rich white people... like the judge in the recent Stanford rape case) and that is just fine. But flip the script and suggest that a hispanic judge could possibly be biased against a person that has been quoted (and/or misquoted) as saying unkind things against certain other hispanics and that is racist. I guess that only makes sense if you buy into the "only white people can be racist" philosophy. I believe anyone can be racist. I believe anyone can be prejudiced. I believe it is entirely possible that the judge in the Trump University case could be biased (he is a human after all). I don't believe suggesting it as a theory is racist.
If the judge is acting in a manner unfit of a US judge, why dont trumps lawyers file for a recusal of the judge, or any other various legal methods of assigning a different judge to the case?
Can you show any evidence that the judge has acted in a manner unfit of his judicial duty? Or that the case lead to outcomes that were harsher than the norm for such a decision?
Maybe they did or will do that. I'm not privy to any of the inner workings of this case. If you are then maybe you could share those details. I simple said it is possible he is biased and suggesting so is not racist.
Suggesting that he is biased based on nothing other than his race is racist. Presenting actual evidence of bias and identity-based motivation might not be racist, even though it might attribute bias to race, but that is a different story.
Trump has directly said that the judge must be biased, because of his ethnic heritage and the supposed "fact" (which isn't actually a fact, but anyway) that Trump is "building a wall" -- that is, the claim actually being made by Trump is that it is impossible for any person of Mexican heritage to not be biased against Trump because of Trump's specific policy stances.
So.... is it racist for people to say white judges are being harsher on non-white defendants? Because in that scenario, it is usually the white judges that are viewed as being a problem. I don't see any difference here. Full stop.
> So.... is it racist for people to say white judges are being harsher on non-white defendants?
That depends on the basis of the claim. If its based on presumptions about group identity and how that will produce actions, then yes. If it is based on systematic gathering of data on judicial decisions, factual circumstances which cover the expected non-race inputs to those decisions, and information of about defendants' and judges' races, then, no.
This is why I have decided against the Dropcam/Nestcam. We currently use the (now end-of-lifed) Logitech Alert system. Each camera has its own storage and you can option to have that offloaded to a network device. The entire system functions without any dependency on their backend. For free you even get live streaming (which does depend on their backend). However, for something like only $80/yr you can also access the video stored on the cameras for playback. And that one fee gets you all the cameras in your network (where Dropcam charges more... and per camera). I guess Logitech could do it cheaper because their backend just connects you to your cameras so they don't have to handle the data storage/streaming. And even though they end-of-lifed it, they still work. I plan to use them until the wheels fall off. Was hoping to switch to Dropcams, until I researched them more to find out they are cloud-only.
