US citizens: Don't send back child refugees without hearing their cases.

OkCupid did an experiment telling users they were compatible when its scores said they were not.

These pairs carried on with conversations, apparently not noticing their supposed incompatibility. I wonder how many of them formed relationships and how those worked out.

It's possible that this experiment constituted lying to the users, but I don't know whether that is true. It depends on what promises the site makes to users about how it judges compatibility, which are facts I don't know. If "flip a coin" is as good a method as its usual one, perhaps it satisfies the promises.

However, if a dating site's claim to being useful is its method for estimating people's compatibility, and that method turns out to be little better than chance, it seems to imply that the site is pointless.

More information about the experiment.

Destroying Hamas would make room for a more extreme replacement.

A Colorado judge ruled that promotion of mining takes precedence over human health in Colorado law.

An additional reason to distrust the report of the official investigation of the September 2001 terrorist attacks is that they were based on evidence obtained by the CIA using torture.

This is in addition to the fact that the investigation was corrupted.

So please support the campaign for a proper investigation.
