I noticed. What I wanted to say was it can become a battle between the correct belief and the wrong belief. Especially if the law itself is interpreted wrongly and scientific evidence is difficult to acquire (which sometimes is).

Also, they often don't read more than a few lines. I applied as a dev for a company which I had many friends inside. They all knew my skills. The problem was the high-level managers because they didn't read the memo (and didn't even read my CV), assumed I can't do engineering because I was an academic at the time.

an engineering manager said during an interview, “OK, we’re going to build a To Do List app right now,” a process that might normally take weeks.

Tbf you can do that in one day with ChatGPT, although it requires some generic software engineering skills. But that's the point.

Even if you don't complete the task, the process of coding can prove your skill level in a positive way.

IANAL, but I dare guess judges do need beliefs. In the beginning, people thought Black people were not humans, and so equality of people in constitution did not apply. I might be factually wrong on this, but let's assume it. To overcome this, some judges had to abandon their racism and understand black people are people.

And while some areas of human issues can be discussed scientifically, like racism being completely wrong, some are difficult.

And if science can't overcome an unjust law today, judges have to listen to their heart and do the right thing. Probably the left thing these days, though...

No idea why this is controversial. As a compsci researcher I have always been exploited for their spreadsheets that only satisfy government officials and not the society.

I didn't have my glasses on, and wondered why the Tiny Dick Concerts penetrated into my TL.

The sad reality with decent judges. They don't force their ideals like the corrupt ones do.

There's the horror of scientific software I'll share here. ~~Developers are fired~~ The contract expires every 2 years and users keep using the code if it's successful. Some projects are closed source, even...

the timing is extremely odd

Right?

Not by Putin, but the most brutal I know in the history was for the previous Japanese Emperor in 1948. They executed A-class war criminals (his father's cronies) on his birthday. The most shocking part imo is that he was only becoming 15.

Killed acquaintances of a kid on his birthday omg...
