If you believe you are free from bias you might be just fooling yourself. Even honourable people who think sexism, racism, anti-transism, etc. are wrong subject to bias.
The point is to constantly be on the lookout for your own bias first, then help others with theirs.
It seems to me that as/if politics seeps lower down into the structure of the executive branch, the corresponding legislative scrutiny following it down is a good thing. That is, one begets the other.
Ideally, perhaps, these positions would be less political and this would not be necessary.
Does anyone have a comment on how this compares to immigration judges(?) which are deemed executive (I think)?
How much does (sovereign, national?) law regulate private law?
Obviously law supersedes private law and I expect that in most cases private law is based on contract law, but is there any more oversight, policy-setting than that?
For example, I think it is widely believed that arbitration in the case of unequal parties (think customer and corporation, or employee and employer, but not two divorcing spouses, say) that the arbitrator is in the pocket of the more powerful (funding) party.
Can law do better at delegating some of the operations of law by enforcing standards on private law?
Now that story about Canada creating a law making it so that saying sorry can't be used in a lawsuit as an admission of guilt doesn't sound so silly now, huh?

Presumably all the effort that the photographer went to in taking the photos was to make the photos as close to faithful representations of the actual public domain work. In a sense, while it takes some skill to know what to change, the reality is that finding what is a faithful representation is much more of an algorithmic work than a creative work, and the end result is, by definition, as close to the original work as possible.
That to me is enough to make the resultant work not copyrightable, even if it does involve a lot of skilled labour.
If instead the photographer took the photos from special angles with special lighting and lens choice, then the resultant photo would be a creative work and subject to independent copyright.
Blaming Netflix like this is like blaming the invention of containerized cargo in the 50s for the sad state of there being no tiny over-staffed non-containerized cargo ships that take 2 weeks to load and unload using hundreds of full-time dock workers.

Politics vs Law

Re: Private Law Oversight
Perhaps I should say, in the final sentence:
Can law do better at delegating some of the operations of dispute settlement by enforcing standards on private law?
Private Law Oversight
How much does (sovereign, national?) law regulate private law?
Obviously law supersedes private law and I expect that in most cases private law is based on contract law, but is there any more oversight, policy-setting than that?

Mugshots
What are the chances that the training set for criminals is based on mugshots?
Third world country
It seems to me that the US is 80% a third world country, 20% first world.
Idle resources
You know the trope of a school district with a classroom of idle (on-probation?) teachers who daily 'work' is sitting and passing time?
I wonder if the NYPD assigns fine officers to useless make-work tasks thus wasting taxpayers' money?
Eh?
