According to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on July 20th, 2016 with regards to Texas' voter ID initiative (SB 14) [1]:

> Some of the dissenting opinions argue that the majority opinion holds the Legislature “liable for racial disparities [it] did not create” by failing to show that the statistical disparity in ID possession among different races is caused by a State policy, as opposed to socioeconomic and historical conditions. In fact, as discussed above, the district court found that SB 14 creates a racial disparity by requiring the use of certain IDs to vote that minorities disproportionately lack. Certainly the passage of SB 14 did not cause fewer minorities to possess certain IDs (like driver’s licenses or concealed handgun licenses). Rather, the district court found that socioeconomic and historical conditions contributed to this disparity in ID possession, which demonstrates why historical evidence of racism is relevant to the Section 2 analysis.

> But SB 14 itself caused minorities to disproportionately lack the documentation that is required to vote by dictating that the documents and IDs required would be those that minorities disproportionately lack. We cannot ignore that in passing SB 14, the Legislature carefully selected the types of IDs that would be required to vote. In doing so, the Legislature selected IDs that minorities disproportionately do not possess and excluded IDs that minorities possess in greater numbers, without providing sufficient justification for those choices.

> The fact that this occurred on a landscape where minorities are less likely to possess certain forms of ID or be able to obtain those IDs, at least in part as a result of past instances of State-sponsored discrimination, does not absolve the Legislature of responsibility. Accordingly, the district court’s conclusion that SB 14 created racial disparities in the possession of IDs required to vote is supported by the record.

It's a little odd how, when voter ID laws are passed in certain states, 31 DMV locations are immediately closed[0]. It's almost as if those pushing for the policy don't want people to get an ID and vote, because people without ID tend to be in a certain demographic that doesn't vote for your party.

Yes but that's geared towards building an API (ofc I can strip Rails however I like, dropping whatever I don't use) but it wasn't my main point - the tooling in the JS world changes rather quickly, now, this would imply lots of changes in main Rails just to support all of those external changes hence the volatility part in my comment.

I just don't understand the obsession with configuration oriented programming these days. Sure, it looks nice for common paths, but as soon as you're doing anything they don't have an option for, you have to write code just like before. But now the choice toy have to write is some awful hack bolted on to the side of your configuration. It's a mess.

Unfortunately, they don't seem to expose it as a search checkbox for the end user. You can't even use the "OK to highlight" text in the search box because while the phrase does appear in the job posting, it's one of the "notices," like "do NOT contact us with unsolicited services or offers," that appears at the bottom and is not treated as part of the body of the posting for search purposes (if you search for "OK to highlight" you may find some matches from people who just copied and pasted the contents of a previous posting into a new one so the phrase is a part of the posting body).

The highlighting is "for non-profit, community-based organizations in your area that help employers meet their needs for diversity and outreach by referring pre-screened, qualified candidates with disabilities for your job openings." Those organizations can add value by finding jobs that are a better match for people with particular disabilities, e.g. there are jobs that are vision-dependent that you could do well but would be difficult to impossible for someone who is blind.

Still, I wish Craigslist would add a checkbox to their search that anyone can use.

Is there any evidence to the contrary that motivation speakers have any long term impact. Burden of proof is on that side.
Couldn't agree more, and don't even get me started on "differently abled".Facepalm

It's a weird one and I really do think a lot of the time it depends on who's saying it and in what context, I think when there is a large power imbalance than the use of the word disabled can be really horrible but between peers, not so much.

Personally I prefer being called Stuart, possibly "you know, you've met him before, he's the one in the wheelchair", that sort of thing. I don't think there is one right answer because you obviously can't please everyone all the time, but I do think that large institutions and those with power have to be very careful about how they phrase things because you will come off as dismissive if you're not careful. Even if you don't need to be.

The problem is that racist shitheads poison the well. There's absolutely a need to have frank discussions on integration (including the failures by state organizations, civil society and yes, immigrants and descendants themselves), immigration policies, social support (which is more than how much money should be allocated), etc, but as soon as you start such a conversation, there's a good chance that one of those trouser stains will pop up and "agree" with you, making you look like one of them.
On the point of "disabled people" vs "people with disabilities" I have this conversation a lot with my wife, who is an Occupational Therapist and who first introduced me to the idea of people-first language. I think there's merit in the idea, but I'm not sure it's a settled issue. She's also fluent in American Sign Language and studied Deaf culture as an anthro undergrad, and they are one of several examples of groups who diametrically oppose people-first language: Deafness is a defining and inseparable part of who they are as a person. I would love to hear the opinions of other people on this board who live with Autism, blindness, para- or quadri-plegia, or other forms of disabilities on the matter, as I don't see myself as being able to have an authoritative opinion, as someone who does not live with disability.

Exactly. The "Chinese as savages" fits a narrative that a lot of people want to hear so it resonates as an unquestioned assumption.

It also helps bolster the war on women narrative. Here's one think tank that propagates the sex-selective abortion in China: [1]

Here's a mainstream article which gives a weak strawman argument then concludes there must be widespread sex-selective abortion in China: [ 2 ]

And this article goes even farther out on the line, saying the Chinese women were "forced" to abort their daughters, not using evidence to verify the theory, but using a piece of artwork by a French artist to propagate the idea visually: [3]

All of these stories must be critically considered in light of the new evidence by the Kennedy-Yaojiang paper. (and obviously we must also critically consider Kenney-Yaojiang).

Really great. Especially if you've ever gotten stuck using an old, busted library like Polymaps.
For me, the word "disabled" brings to mind the novel _Ender's Game_, particularly the scenes in the battle room where that word describes the kids who have been completely paralyzed for the remainder of the battle and thus can't do anything. Or, in a UI toolkit, the word "disabled" refers to a widget that can't be used in the current context and, typically, is grayed out on screen.
That's what I mean by regional peculiarity.

Housing is especially expensive in Denver, and likely even more so near public transport. I'm sure the building boom going on there has some impact on all construction costs.

Before I posted I did a sanity check. You can buy a decent new house in the Orlando area for $120,000. That's with a lot and so on.

A better study would examine the cost of housing across a variety of job markets, not pick 1 and make units with high proximity to mass transit the only units they talk about.

It really baffles me how the Muslim world turns its back on extremism and radicalization. Devout Muslims claim that Islamic extremists aren't real Muslims and just shrug it off. Wrong. They are a growing minority of Muslims whether you like it or not and Muslims need to deal with this plague before it turns Islam upside down. The more Muslims will keep ignoring this the more Islam will be treated as religion of terror and not peace and no western boots on the ground will ever fix this. The best response we've gotten so far is from the Kurds. Nobody else lifted a finger. Turkey even wanted money to accept Muslim refugees. Their own brethren and they wanted money for them... How does anyone expect things to get better when Muslims themselves don't give two shits?

Exactly. In many parts of India, if the kids don't stay at their parent's house, they feel offended. It's not a financial thing but mostly cultural.

True, but there is a difference between residence for tax purposes and residence for immigration purposes. You may live a certain number of years (7-8?) in the US, give up your greencard, and still be considered a resident for tax purposes for life or until you relinquish with the IRS and pay your exit tax.
Are you seriously going to try to equate the most extreme differences in culture, religion, and modern history of violence from muslims to something that happened several hundred years ago?
Wow, I had no idea Orlando was that cheap (I'm not American and most of my American friends/colleagues are from much more expensive cities).

In Berlin you generally can't buy a 3BR anything (house, condo, whatever) for less than $400k (aside from terrible/out-of-reach neighborhoods), and even that would be on the cheap-side.

"Deafness is a defining and inseparable part of who they are as a person"

Tangent: How true is that for people who become deaf at different stages of life besides birth?
No, in my view it shows that assimilation isn't objectively better in all cases. In other words, pressuring people to shed away their culture and customs because you're afraid or annoyed by their "otherness" can sometimes backfire. This is why laws that target minorities aren't a good idea.

I am not saying that it's OK to murder innocents because of such laws! But I am saying that forced assimilation can push some types of people to an extreme viewpoint.

It also shows that the techniques recruiters use can be effective on some people.
I hope I'm not committing some faux pas replying to such an old thread...

There are a bunch of hypotheses about why we have yet to encounter or discover other intelligent life in our galaxy/universe (or, more specifically, the Fermi Paradox). Two seem particularly relevant here:

(a) 'It is the nature of intelligent life to destroy itself': There is some period of technological development where the odds of self-extinction become extremely high (e.g. the relatively recent development of nuclear weapons... for example...).

(b) 'It is the nature of super intelligent life to destroy others': Intelligent species past a certain point of technological capability will destroy other intelligent species as they emerge. A species might undertake such extermination out of expansionist motives or even just rational and prudent self-interest: an intelligent species that has overcome its own self-destructive tendencies might view other advanced species as a potential threat. A highly advanced alien species would also likely be a super-predator (as are humans).

I'm quadriplegic and I really think it is entirely context-based. If we were to meet in a bar is my wheelchair or the fact that I'm quadriplegic relevant? Of course not. In which case you'd just call me by my name.

The only time the fact that I'm quadriplegic to should become an issue is when it alters some plan, building, or some accommodation needs to be made to factored in to allow me to participate in the world. And in which case the questions should almost always be logistical, so for me the word disabled should really never come up.

For instance if we were going to a bar we would just make sure we went to one that had level access, problem solved and you haven't had to call me anything other than my name.

I have a small break in my neck, in all other respects I'm just like you and expected to be treated as such. Sorry these aren't more string together and coherent thoughts, I'm just thinking about it the first time properly!
