You seem to have more accessibility than I imagined!

Something I have been curious about. Do you experience sexual attraction yourself? Is it based on voice?

> drag-show-loving

Nobody cares about or loved drag shows. They care about the first amendment. Don't flip right wing drag-show-hatred to liberal love of drag shows. You are lying and you know it.

> pathologically individualistic

The ones who refuse vaccinations in the middle of the deadliest pandemic in a 100 years, NOT!

>> you are a social conservative of the Clayton Bigsby variety.

> I’m a social conservative of the “typical Bangladeshi” variety

Of course black/brown conservatives are not all the same.

Did you even read what I said? EVMs are not being tampered. But they make per polling booth data available to candidates. The BJP candidates use that summary data to withhold municipal services from constituents who didn't vote for them.

They are able to make this threat because of summary data made available by EVMs

Ain't no Pakistanis sponsoring Khalistanis in Canada. You forgot the Dalits and missionary Christians.

Please be flexible, please think of Khalistani Sikhs and reservation grabbing Dalits demanding protection from racism in California.

Yes, there were so many racists, Golwalkar is actually such an honorable man :)

It's okay to kill Muslims - this much is known and established. Actually, we could also add Sikhs and Dalits too if the situation demands it.

You only need 35% to win in Indias multiparty elections.

Additionally, Muslims in Gujarat and UP have been coerced into voting for BJP candidate by threatening them with shut down of municipal services when BJP wins. This is enabled because EVMs report summary statistics from each location which the government employees have access to.

Whataboutism is not the awesome argument you think it is.

Nupur Sharma claims.

Apparently, death threats and actual deaths and rapes should only happen to Dalits and Muslims via periodically organized riots. It's also a great idea to jail the lawyer of the survivor of a lynch mob, Teesta Setalvad. Indias Supreme court is pleased.

Being Indian, I am clued in well enough.

I understand by "Indian friends" you mean upper caste Hindu Indian friends who are Modi acolytes and his primary voting demographic. Not Indian Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Dalits or Shudras who form greater than 50% of the Indian population.

> Altnews the left wing version of Tucker Carlson

And the Modi apologist shows up because Altnews has been fact checking right wing misinformation for several years now.

15 years from now there will be no distinction between India and China in terms of freedom. There will be single party rule by BJP. The opposition is being coerced to join in with the BJP or be thrown in to jail for random offenses. BJP simply buys the legislators where it can't win elections.

In terms of economics, India will not be in the same league, of course.

The number of people in this thread not understanding the difference between bias and variance errors is too much.

I am trying to explain to you what moron4hire is talking about. Hypothesis testing doesn't magically fix the issue he is discussing, as hypothesis testing works by collecting many imprecise measurements to average it out to a more precise level.

> natural hierarchies

Lol

> Social conservatism is where “black and brown people” have the most in common with white republicans:

Sure conservative blacks and browns, just like the whites can be compelled to vote against their own interests by group 2 and group 3.

> in 2000, Muslims got George W. Bush elected

Your ability to fish for random bits of data to reinforce whatever point you are making is exceptional.

> I’m frankly offended at the insinuation that I’m a libertarian!

I honestly don't care about getting your political category right, but now that I recall - you are a social conservative of the Clayton Bigsby variety.

Anyway, thanks for acknowledging that conservatism is inherently anti democratic.

Conservativism is about maintaining and perpetuating hierarchies in society and fighting hard against anything that might change the hierarchy. Different conservative groups differ on who should be at the bottom of the hierarchy.

In the USA, we have

1. Social conservatives - anyone who isn't white, heterosexual, Christian should be at the bottom hierarchy. Tucker Carlson informs them who they should focus on at the present moment. For now it is trans people. It was Mexicans and Muslims very recently and immigrants are a perennial favorite.

2. Libertarians - We already have people at the bottom of the hierarchy. Let's just keep them there by disallowing government support and subjecting them to monopolies and arcane private contracts. They are also highly supportive of bombing nations perceived to be lower in the hierarchy.

3. Big business - doesn't care who is at the bottom as long as they are guaranteed exclusive reign at the top.

Obviously, hierarchies are difficult to maintain in a democracy as the majority of the people are at the bottom of the hierarchy. This problem is solved by obfuscation and propaganda. Group 3 uses Group 2(rayiner et al) to construct messaging and propaganda to convince Group 1 to vote against their own interests. In fact, the US Democratic party is also center right and operates in a similar, but less blatant fashion. This can be seen from how Bernie Sanders was shut out of the party nominations even if it meant losing the 2016 elections.

Hypothesis testing cannot rule out systemic bias errors present in both control and treatment populations.

I think op is talking about bias vs variance. In some cases we have a bias variance trade off.

True, Rosa parks had to sit at the back because of values and culture. Also George Floyd /s

> This is not bias

Now a textbook case of bias is not bias!! The world is crazy?

And then you posted it here

That also doesn't the change the facts about the well known problems with the cold in SF during spring time and the very frequent fogs.

If you want to get all numerical. Let's say an extremely generous 1% of SF population are tech entrepreneurs. 1 out of every 12 murders in SF this year was committed by a tech entrepreneur.

This would imply that Tech entrepreneurs were 12 times more likely to kill you than any other SF local, an astonishing 1100% higher murder likelihood than average!

Given that this is a forum frequented by a lot of SF Tech entrepreneurs, the FBI should monitor this forum or perhaps shut it down all together.

I had my comment on my family's experience of not experiencing any crime in the bay area in 10+ years downvoted. I was also called a boiling frog.

Another reply - "I'll have you know, my ivory tower is devoid of any riffraff!"

But peoples brains also deteriorate with time.

I believe only men(women have a smaller brain size and never achieve maturity) between the ages 25 and 40 should pick books for everyone else.

It's cool as long as they also ban the Bible - incest, rape and what not.

That is a great racist take.

I live in south bay, the original silicon valley. The bay area is home to 7M+ population, it isn't just tenderloin.

Do you live in the bay? Portions of SF have always been sketchy, but I am enjoying this "liberal dystopia" quite well.

15 years in and no one in my family has been a victim to any crime.
