13. This is why you can never build a high trust society that is diverse and cosmopolitan, unless the diversity is a mere cosmetic thing, people look different but are culturally the same.

Great piece.

Danish society to leave a sleeping baby outside, in their pram, while you go into a shop?

This is exactly what a German friend of my wife did. The husband was over here as a junior executive for Liebherr and when my wife was out with her, the German lady would let her two young kids sleep in car seats in the van with windows rolled down while the adults went inside. Also, when the German lady came to visit, she would let the kids sleep in prams out front porch while the ladies were inside.

Totally fine, only a retarded and autocratic society would impose fines on people leaving their kids in the car claiming adult parents can't figure out when it's too hot or too cold or too long. Back in the days it was "boys, Mom and Dad are going to go food shopping, we'll be back in 1 hour max, here's some candy and magazines".

(KRON) — Researchers at Stanford University and Princeton University have teamed up with the County of Santa Clara to attempt to map and redact racial covenants around the county by using artificial intelligence.

Racially restrictive covenants are clauses in property deeds that ban individuals of a particular race from buying a home. Despite the U.S. Supreme Court setting laws barring racial covenants, researchers say they persist in national property records.

When Dan Ho purchased a home in Palo Alto, he recounts, “We had to sign papers that said that the ‘property shall not be used or occupied by any person of African, Japanese or Chinese or any Mongolian descent,’ except for the capacity of a servant to a Caucasian person.”

Writer of this article doesn't know shit.

SCOTUS only ruled that the courts can't enforce those covenants. It did not ban them.

Deed covenants can't be removed easily.
