What’s striking, though, is how, in some respects, their conclusions about the IAT don’t seem all that far apart. Greenwald acknowledges that a person’s score can vary significantly, depending on when the test is taken, and he doesn’t think it’s reliable enough to be used to, say, select bias-free juries. "We do not regard the IAT as diagnosing something that inevitably results in racist or prejudicial behavior," he says.Everyone agrees that the statistical effect linking bias to behavior is slight. They only disagree about how slight. Blanton’s 2013 meta-analysis found less of a link than a 2009 meta-analysis by Banaji and Greenwald. Blanton sees the correlation as so small as to be trivial. Banaji and Greenwald, in a 2015 paper, argue that "statistically small effects" can have "societally large effects."

Kinda stupid that they call it a Best and Worst airline list and then go on to rank airlines based on just one data point.
Their only metric is delays. What a sad, poor excuse, for an article.

Yep it didn't show up until after I posted. Good to know others think the same.

Not sure if it belongs here, but interesting to me https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/5mtova/im_dying_in_a_few_months_i_have_a_1200000_life/

The decision, by a chamber of seven judges, did not dispute that the denial of the parents’ request interfered with their religious freedom, but it emphasized that the need for social cohesion and integration trumped the family’s wishes. The court also noted that schools play “a special role in the process of social integration, particularly where children of foreign origin were concerned,” and that, as such, ensuring the girls’ “successful social integration according to local customs and mores” took precedence over religious concerns.
Time for religious Jews to take their heads out of the sand. This stuff will head over to the US soon. The scary part is the far right and left almost converge on this issue.
