Imagine how much more sense things would make if "Race [dropdown]" and "Hispanic? [Y/N]" weren't separate fields. Or if the available options made sense, or even allowed multiselect instead of having to pick only one. Or allowed for "all my ancestors that I know names of lived in the states, so stop trying to associate me with other places".

And, um, I can kind of understand thinking it's wrong to deliberately falsify results even in a controlled manner.
first they are mostly collecting statistics about ethnicity, not race
genetically there is only one human race (which is often best explained as the genetic differences _inside_ a sample group of arbitrary ethnicities being larger then the difference between (a hypothetical average genome) of such groups).
through to be fair, people use race and ethnicity commonly interchangeable
what is more relevant is why should a country even collect either such information?!
the only thing which seems potentially relevant is statistics about stuff like _practiced_ (sub-)culture, religion etc. But nothing really fixed by birth. (The reasons you might want to have that information is because it can affect which of multiple imperfect possible decisions, is the one wich is most likely causing the least amount of unintended issues for peoples daily live.)
And I know "people" also conflate practiced culture and race and ethnicity in daily conversations. But they also tend to tell white looking people with dreadlocks that they are acting very inappropriately, even if that person has a African parent (as a very dump example of the kind of situations which make me fell the need to write this comment. Also not me in the example. Just a fully arbitrary chosen, simple to understand example).
> first they are mostly collecting statistics about ethnicity, not race
From the 2020 form I can see, the question is: "What is this person’s race? Mark X one or more boxes [...]"

Having the true population (or close to it) is very useful for a lot of purposes in statistics/scientific studies - like knowing whether your sample is representative (and how much to undersample/oversample if not), or controlling for race when looking at factors correlated with it.
Not much of an AI thing, just the standard "rich people should have (control over) their resources confiscated" that keeps popping up in various forms.
The chart they show from the original paper is approximately just:
perceived_ability = 0.5 + (actual_ability / 4)
(With the caveat that "ability" is a percentile rather than some absolute measure.)
That's not the negative correlation that it's often presented as in discussions. And it could as easily relate to mis-measuring everyone else's skill as to mis-measuring your own skill.
The entire point of capitalism is free enterprise and freedom of association. The way to apply that to employer / employee relationships is to recognize that you are not a serf bound to a single employer and keep half an eye on your options in case you ever tire of your current relationship.
>>> Adam Mendler, a workplace expert, told Inc. that this kind of exercise carries real risk when companies invite openness without ever clarifying how that vulnerability will be treated afterward.
(That's the Inc article)

Mandatory "vulnerability" is required to be staged and fake. Legitimate vulnerability -- that comes with legitimate risk -- has to be a free choice or else whoever's pushing it makes themselves vulnerable to consequences.
Yes, the only relevant property is the use of a duress PIN. They could have simply stated that he erased his phone with a duress PIN.
But "GrapheneOS! Spain! Profiling Pixel users! Spain equates GrapheneOS to criminals!" sounds far more spectacular and will give more clicks/links. Sadly, it feeds the narrative that GrapheneOS is just for activists/criminals/whatever. An iPhone in BFU state would have been nearly as safe, but nobody makes these implications about iPhones because everybody has iPhones.
If 1% of iPhone users are criminals and 5% of GrapheneOS users are criminals, border search agents are going to be interested in your GrapheneOS mobile.
I am pretty sure criminals are more likely to use a super safe and secure phone that is easy to obtain.
Yeah, the way that this case is being reported on is really irritating.
While he technically did use a special GrapheneOS feature to wipe his phone, the criminal charges would have been the same if he had used the default "reset phone" feature on Android or iOS right before handing the phone over.
The real focus of this case should be on the reason for his detainment and the confiscatation of his phone and multiple refusals to contact his lawyer.
... by "Date of last subordination", it says there's very few that have been themselves for longer.
