An analogy. Perhaps 20% of modern integrated circuits are dedicated to testing. Perhaps the same percent of GDP is spent combating crime. In a ideal world, we'd not need to waste all that silicon real estate on testing. And in an ideal world, we wouldn't be wasting resource on combating crime. But the world is not ideal.
Well of course you can get really abstract, but let's keep the topic on things that we know about to the best of our knowledge. As far as we're aware science and logic applies to things outside of our own experience.

This is a semantic issue. Yeah you're not technically wrong that science and logic is part of the human experience.

But at the same time there is a demarcation between science/logic and religion. What's the semantic word used for this demarcation? I chose "human experience" but I'm sure you can agree that's just a semantic choice and that the principles of science and logic as far as we're "aware" apply "outside" of the "human experience" while religion and morality do not.
I have several last-generation iPod Shuffles. Depending on the colour, I’ve loaded them up with various songs that match my mood (Red for Romantic, Blue for Sad, Black for Darkwave, Gold for Retro eighties/nineties, & cetera) and I’ve occasionally dropped one into my girlfriend’s bag as one used to do with mix-tapes, particularly when she was heading off on a long trip of some kind.

It’s such a sad shame that they killed them off (and insist on the music-as-a-service model rather than the prior music-as-a-product or the even earlier pre-iTunes Rip/Mix/Burn).
I don't think that someone who commits homicide should be allowed into a job that enables the employee to be violent, like policing. The same way I don't think a pedophile should work at a day care, and someone convicted of insider trading shouldn't be working at an investment firm.

But that doesn't mean they should be excluded from professions that don't put them in an escalated position to recommit.
ATX isn't comparable. The power supply producers and consumers work together. USB is meant to power a vast array of devices that simply can't all be aligned to a single voltage.
I'm perfectly willing to:

a) Understand violent criminals have made amends and are rehabilitated

b) Believe that people who were once racist are no longer racist

Both issues are, to me, a 'sad result of circumstances'. So all of that seems fine.
This kind of purist attitude is so self-defeating in my opinion. The choices are "make history interesting/easily digestible/accessible" or "not have people care", unfortunately "make people care more about history" doesn't just happen. I'm sorry but I'm not motivated at all to pick through old/inaccessible texts trying to pull out some historical significance but I'll gladly watch a documentary/YT series/TV docuseries that does a good job of explaining events, painting a full picture, and puts events in context.

The type of approach you suggest feels like the arguments about how people should just learn the CLI or low-level computer operations. The "We shouldn't bother with GUI's", "it's not important that we expose functionality with pretty UI", or "if people cared they would learn the CLI and be happy about it".

Making history/art/computers/etc more accessible is not a bad thing.

i'd analogize with basic physics. you can get pretty far using newtonian formulas and the like without ever delving into the calculus underpinnings. same in economics. calc gives you a deeper understanding, but only adds utility at the margins (which is helpful in academics or r&d, but not so much in high school). you can have the computer do curve-fitting and finding optima for you and still learn a lot about how to tease out useful information from an otherwise amorphous mound of data.

Myths that's pulling you back as a CodeNewbie
And being such artifacts the means used by historians to reconstruct the past, while they deny others the same rights to interpret it, is quite ironic.
Being a pedophile is driven by poverty?

Anyways, most social science research has not found a poverty-crime correlation. Would you mind answering some of my specific examples, rather than trafficking in generalities? Should a daycare hire a convicted pedophile? Should a bank hire a fraudster? Law enforcement, an ex-gang member?
Is part of this due to an academic vs. professional dichotomy? i.e. most CS undergrads are CS undergrads to become professional developers, while most CS undergrad courses are taught with an eye towards further graduate/academic work?

You can place the origin at any offset in a circle and rotate 360 degrees to get back to it. One paradigm adopts features from the other to better express complexity or lack thereof, and the cycle transitions when someone decides "there's a simpler way to do this, I shouldn't need to hold all this in my head."

And at the end of the day these tools are competing with Excel, which supports both visual and textual programming for the same reasons.
For texts sent in English, it squishes to about 50%.
I don't see how such a product would be useful for anyone. At least in USA, anywhere a 25A circuit is available, a 15A circuit is also available. The converse (using a 25A device on a 15A circuit) would be useful, but also wouldn't be dangerous in any way.
There's also this fun story [0], which was discussed here [1]. Fits nicely with Mozilla saying: "We’re here to prove that you can have an ethical tech business." Start by caring for your workers first, instead of giving pay raises to CEOs, under whose leadership the company's been struggling.

Religion and morality is part of philosophy as well. Does this mean it is impossible to separate Morality and Mathematics?

What is the mathematical formula for good and evil?

>Philosophy is not intended to be a high level view but a low level one,

We're talking about the same thing, high or low is just the choice of symbolic direction as nothing is really "lower" or "higher." Let's remove that from the semantics to remove the confusion. I mean a universal framework that unionizes all viewpoints into a cohesive whole similar to how assembly language unionizes all programming languages into a single cohesive language.

As that diminishes the real problem of racism would you be willing to commit to not hiring anyone contributing to that problem as well? (Obviously this is rhetorical)

A point to keep in mind, tasks does not necessarily equate to writing code. Think for example, writing a design doc, responding to email, or reviewing any kind of metrics. If this person was hired as a manager or a technical lead then the person might be doing non-code work.
I have an article in my personal wiki titled "How to Unfuck Firefox". It contains a list of the broken default behavior, workarounds, and long-standing unfixed bugs that have caused me great pain over the last decade.

It is thus ironic in the extreme that Mozilla is spending time and money on a campaign called "Unfuck the Internet" at a time that they're coming under fire for squandering their financial resources on CEO pay and pet projects instead of focusing their efforts on disrupting the Chrome/Webkit monopoly.

First, you did not point out the specific page where it says that “nearly all” violent offenders will commit another violent crime. This is a 42 page report. Second, I could not find any statistic in that report that comes even remotely close to describing that “most” violent offenders will commit another violent crime. Some states have recidivism rates approaching 50% (for ALL offenders, violent and nonviolent) but those numbers include technical parole violations and new non-violent crime.

Please indicate the page where the data supports your statement.

It might not be to everyone’s taste but it’s impressive work.

Why do these particular academic historians not trust people to understand the limitations of this? To me this is not dissimilar from translating a book from an ancient language - there are problems of bias and so on, but why not make good things a little more accessible? Nothing wrong with something that sparks the imagination.
Whether or not this is the case, Nintendo makes it very clear in their warranty that using an unauthorized charger is not covered. They definitely did not intend for it to be a universal port.
>Right now, if you can only create $7/hr of economic value, no employer can legally employ you for a regular job in a way that's profitable for them.

Sure, but its just a shifting of costs. Either the employer pays them the extra $ or the government taxes everyone and makes up the difference. It comes out of the economy in either case.

I think UBI is a great idea, but so is minimum wage, and so is welfare, etc, etc. They're are all great ideas intended to help people in tough conditions.
Sorry, I was using "significant" in the non-scientific sense of the word. They proved with statistical significance that people lost weight, but the amount they lost (less than 1 kilo) is not medically or personally significant.

leaving former criminals with little chance at success

It's worth noting that it also leaves their children a smaller chance at success as well[0], and then the cycle continues. When you add this to the fact that Black male offenders received sentences on average 19.1 percent longer than similarly situated White male offenders [1], this adds up to one aspect of systemic racism in America.

Tech company uses machine learning to buy homes in Houston
Once upon a time, an employer of mine was happy to work with people who had criminal records. Provided they were honest and willing to discuss the matter.

It became a problem when we hired someone with a record of fraud... who had not disclosed it. And who would have had access to credit card info. He was promptly fired.

We were willing to work with him, and said as much. He wasn't willing to take the risk. So he took a bigger one, and lost.
