But that data really doesn't match with reality. Facts.

I'm just reading and comparing graphs and statistics.

Unless Google is a lie. The Google conspiracy. Maybe conspiracy lovers could start a new conspiracy novel about the Google conspiracy 🧐

I work at one of the listed companies, as a software engineer, just out of college. Three of us in my area of the company were hired just out of college, 1 white, 1 Asian American, 1 African American

Once you go black you can never go back!

You stated you reviewed the paper. In the review process you should be able to point out methodological flaws to the editor leading to a rejection or a major revision.

Like I said it's a notion not hard science. For a practical example just take a look at the debunked Wakefield (1998) paper incorrectly linking vaccines to authism. 4000+ citations according to Google Scholar. Other examples are papers on water that has a memory, magical stem cells, arsenic DNA, or non-Mendelian genetics. It's actually quite easy to find examples of papers with very high numbers of citations that should have been printed in a tabloid instead of a scientific journal.

Many scientists are really no better than high school gossipers.

I do affirmative action planning for companies over 50 people with over 50k in government contacts in the US. I have an x-ray view in to employment decisions in this country. Mathematically. Who gets hired/promoted/terminated/payed etc and their qualifications. The VAST majority or employers simply do not give a shit about your "protected status" (women/minority) they simply want the best person for the job. They don't want someone who's black lesbian and jewish.... they want someone who can sell/analyze/communicate/operate their shit. really. Exceptions being veteran and handicapped...companies WILL go out of their way to give a hand-up to those cats. That's the only real "affirmative action" that exists the way most Americans think of it. (you hire someone based on their person-hood). That whole quotas thing your drunk uncle bitches about at thanksgiving simply doesn't exist. (except kinda for veterans and handicapped).

the only real thing people should get pissed off about is women in banks. those fuckers are all white men. They give VP job titles to them in leu of compensation or actual power. that whole glass ceiling thing really exists in banks and financial institutions.

I know, right? Claiming that Yakutia has 50% of ethnic Russians in it is downright ridiculous

But most of those nations have really low population

The black folks at Amazon are driving the trucks… So much for diversity. What about management levels?

Because it can be an effective method of bringing an agenda to fruition.

Asian is way too broad. Indian and Chinese really needs it's own breakout, if this is done seriously. San Jose is awash in Indian nationals, for example. A huge proportion of these workers are not American - not sure how that is factored in WRT representation.

You are ghey. That’s a fact.

Can't find Crimea on the map /s

It’s blue slide park! Oh hey! It’s blue slide park! R.I.P. Mac 😔 Pittsburg and me will always miss you 😢

This is interesting too and shameful. families

Out of the loop here, but why would this info be illegal?

TIL there is Republic of Tuva in Russia bordering Mongolia, with ethnic Tuvans making up most of that state's population.

I had heard of the ethnic groups in the SW parts of Russia, which border other former USSR countries.

Yeah. Ok. black homeownership

Companies in the USA are required by law to report their USA employee demographics to the government. Although they are not required to make that data publicly available, some chose to do so. https://www.eeoc.gov/data/eeo-1-data-collection

>Did you strongly suggest a rejection to the editor?

On what authority, an appeal to honesty? That failed when they wrote the formula.

Seriously, I don't think it was a mistake. Read their conclusion and you'll get the picture. It's one thing to do a rough estimate, but pay attention to their language and tone there. This is meant to push an agenda. I believe it was intentional fraud.

>there is a notion that bad or devise papers have a higher chance of being cited

Source? That would be interesting to look into.

>number of citations is a pretty bad metric to judge the quality of research

Yeah. That wasn't my point. It's not about quality of the paper, it's about quality of the scientific field to uncritically build upon this (and similar) as a compromised foundation.

It is however possible that you're right, that many times it was cited in refutation. I never actually checked.

I wonder what the statistics are on death from heroin or fent IV?

I don’t remember the last time, if ever, I’ve heard of overdose from hydrocodone or oxycodone. I know it’s possible but would take a lot.

Not counting things like mixing with alcohol and Xanax either. Mix oxy with a bottle of vodka and Xanax and it’s extremely dangerous.

I know the numbers exist. I’m just curious what the actual deaths are specifically from. I’d imagine fent and heroin are 90%+ of those deaths and I bet fent is the much higher percent in that.

I’d say looking at death rates in the 90’s would give a good idea of heroin death but again, to remove cross drug use numbers. And then what is IV vs smoking.

I may actually try and compile some data because I am honestly curious.

It started when black people were fucking enslaved, followed by laws created to keep black people from keeping and growing generational wealth, followed by laws to keep black people from voting, followed by keeping black people from staying together as families and buying homes.
