I include essays, yes. It's all archaic. I'm not saying we shouldn't have a way to evaluate student performance, but this is not it.

I've never heard of that kind of network, is that a US thing? I can't imagine having my traffic routed, as the person I replied to said, to the other side of the country before being routed to the proper destination. That is so incredibly inefficient and unnecessary. Not to mention the single point of failure.

Edit: And it makes hosting a public facing server at home a nightmare... I see no benefit to this except not having to get a large IP range to properly assign them to your customers, which sounds like capital efficiency rather than decent user experience. Did I get it right, is this a US thing? :D

Edit 2: And there are a lot of systems IP-banning abusers (it is, in fact, one of the most basic recommendations), meaning that if someone sharing that public IP gets IP banned, the entire customer group sharing the IP is troubled. Even worse if it ends up on a shared blacklist...

I'm aware, and yet, that is not what an authoritarian government is... But sure, continue to spread your ignorance and double down with dull insults, that will do a lot!

I'm not sure where you are from, and perhaps it depends on the location!

I would definitely call it bias, because if it can summarize Al Jazeera for the Strait, it could certainly summarize Al Jazeera for ICE!

Because the crypto market overreacts, always

Not every system fits every country.

France had republics before the current 5th that had the president as more of a ceremonial role. But it did not work for us, and both the third and fourth republics ended up with political instability and governments falling one after the other.

The 5th republic purposefully gave more power to the president, to remediate the political instability that France had seen with the previous systems. It works.

No democratic system is perfect. The one Greece has, per your comment, sounds great in theory. But the day where the 3 top parties can't come to an agreement, and the elections don't change the outcome, you'll have an extended period of instability where the government is unable to do anything. And that is absolutely awful for a country.

It is great that Greece isn't encountering these issues. But France has, and the current system is a fix to that. Let's not repeat bad History by reverting to a system we know does not work for us.

No, it's by design. Giving the government to the largest group doesn't always make sense.

If your largest group is 40%, but the other groups forming the remaining 60% all disagree with the largest group, how is it more democratic to give the 40% group the government? Then you have a givernment that only 40% of the parliament supports.

If you pick a government that satisfies the 60% remaining, you then have a government 60% of the parliament supports. How is that less democratic?

No, it definitely does not cover almost all software. Most software does not aim to allow a random user to build something that usually requires a dev.

When you use an OS, you build nothing. When you use a browser, you build nothing. When you use a game, you build nothing. When you use a graphics editor, you build something, but it's not something that a dev could do.

I could go on with a list of almost all software like this, but that's not a good use of my time, and I hope it is not necessary.

The comment doesn't wish for anything, it simply makes an observation

Same. So now I am renting a place to work and it's much better :)

Exactly. All that the stats do in this case is show what everyone knows: There is a racism problem in hiring.

It doesn't help prove anything in a court of law, and the multitude of otherwise valid excuses to hide racism make it almost impossible to prove that the true reason is racism.

If you crave that abortion pill again, you'll know.
