> Minimum wage was an antiracism policy aimed at forcing the Deep South

Could you offer some support for this claim? There is a recent book called "Illiberal Reformers" that seems to suggest exactly the opposite: that minimum wage policies were put in place with the intent of putting minorities out of work (rather than raising their standard of living).

See some of the quotations here:

http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2016/12/thomas_leonard.html

"""
The low-standard or undercutting-of-wages part of the theory, got its start with the violent activism of white Americans against Chinese immigrant workers. The title of a pamphlet published by the American Federation of Labor trenchantly captured the heart of the claim: Meat versus Rice: American Manhood against Asiatic Coolieism, Which Shall Survive? If wages were determined by living standards rather than by productivity, then the meat-eating Anglo-Saxon could not compete with the Chinese worker accustomed to eating rice.

Professor Woodrow Wilson, in his popular History of the American People, preferred the same theory of low-standard races undercutting American wages, adding a fillip of racism to cement the notion that race explained the low standards. White laborers, unable to "live upon a handful of rice for a pittance," could not compete with the Chinese, "who with their yellow skin and strange debasing habits of life seemed to them hardly fellow men at all but evil spirits, rather."

What do you need in GitLab to manage issues better?

Sorry to hear you ran into problems with your self hosted GitLab. What CI problem was the most disruptive?
There's being "agile" as in flexible and outlined in the Agile Manifesto, and there's being "Agile" as in Scrum. I've found myself, and others, referring to the later verbally as "capital-A Agile" to distinguish the two.
It is great if it works this way for you, but every group had its own dynamics. Personally my group of friends primarily talks via Messenger, that's where all the planning for things takes place. We have one friend who isn't on Facebook and he unintentionally gets left out of things. He isn't cut out of our lives, but ultimately he pays a penalty for not being on Facebook

Well, considering that some of my close family and many of my friends are military or former military---I'd hardly say that I'm living in an upper-class bubble with no idea about the gripes that military folk can have.

That said, I think I should clarify my comment was about online discussion. In real life, there's no shortage of people griping from all walks of life, but online (or perhaps, I should say on the tech circuit online) most of the articles, blogs, and comments don't seem, representative of men's' personal struggles, but rather complaints about women discussing their lives, or complaints that some sub-fraction of men whom they can't claim membership with is having issues.
> Firstly, you're incorrect that the government answers to the people only on elections. They lose plenty in the courts against ordinary citizens.

The executive branch losing a court case isn't answering to the people. It's answering to the judicial branch. Being granted explicit permission as a citizen to do something you legally should be allowed to do isn't gaining anything at all. An innocent person being allowed to remain innocent again isn't giving anything to citizens. Those are basic rights..

> If the government could sufficiently obscure their actions such that the data weren't available to analyze, that would give it the advantage

The govt already does this across the board. I'm not certain how you could argue otherwise. Taking a issue in the news recently, we still don't have national rates on use of force by the police across the country. As in literally no-one knows what the police is doing because centralized records aren't kept, and every area does it differently. Police departments have fought body cameras. Fought enabling citizens to even see how they are executing their jobs.

> The difference between a company genuinely caring about their customers' experience with their product, and one who will do whatever it takes to manage their public profile isn't all that different to all practical intents and purposes.

But it sounds like joering (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14395539) was describing precisely a practical difference: a company that genuinely cared about its customers' experiences would, it seems, have responded to attempts at direct contact, rather than responding only to a threat to its public profile.

Probably because they are too busy enjoying all the money they got from free education, affordable housing that skyrocketed in value over the course of their lifetime and great final salary pension schemes, all the while pulling the ladder up behind them.

I agree with the sentiment wholeheartedly, but the problem is that some types of intelligence become less useful than others as society changes. STEM-type intelligence becomes more in demand while a very smart person who lacks skills like these (whether they are not attuned to it or didn't have the opportunity to learn) will still struggle because the competition pool is so large that there are tons of people in the same situation and a limited number of ways they can become economically useful. The end result is likely to be a large scale dehumanization even for smart folks unless there is some intervention.

Edit: to clarify, the market driven popsci definition is paramount because the market determines your dehumanization

but the point is that it cant be any other way. property owners aren't going to do sell or rent below market price. if you're poor, you get shoved around, which has been more or less the same since the dawn of humanity.

Their combined influence is minuscule

My eyes grabbed on that fragment, also, and I pretty much stopped reading there. And yet, even though their influence is "minuscule", researchers want to use them to "determine which interventions would be most effective for children struggling to learn". What? Sounds potentially scary, actually.

It may be a compelling result, or maybe not. But from the way the NYT piece is articulated, you just can't tell.
Just please don't tear us down when all we're trying to to is claw our way up to your level. A little support (even purely verbal) goes a long way.

Here's an honest question so I understand your perspective: what is an example of verbal support that someone could say to, e.g. you, that you believe you would appreciate in the moment and not interpret as patronizing or condescending?

My personal experience (and that of others I know who fall into what you'd colloquially call "privileged" groups) is that it feels safer to not remark on an individual's race or gender at all unless you know them really well, even in a positive and supportive way, for fear of it backfiring and being interpreted as bigoted.

Maybe you can't come up with an example because it's highly context specific, in which case that's fine, I'm just wondering if you have a comment on delivery in social contexts.

> but to its creditors who had no say in the decision

One would argue that the creditors did have a say, in that they knowingly chose to extend credit to a company incorporated in Delaware.

But overall, it feels like the real problem is that a company can be incorporated in one state, and have no actual business presence or interests in that state. Having a single focal point for lawsuits makes sense, since otherwise businesses (that can be very small) could potentially be dealing with the huge expenses of lawsuits in many different states over the same thing. And then the state of incorporation is an obvious choice. But why should other states allow such an obviously contrived setup for companies coming and doing business in their borders.

(I'm sure there's some kind of convoluted constitutional explanation here as to why the states actually can't restrict this, because of the Commerce Clause etc. Still, though.)

Inclusive AI: Technology and Policy for a Diverse Urban Future
I read a really excellent and well researched book on the history of the deep south some years ago. It began with trying to define "The Deep South" and listed out the many conflicting definitions. Some definitions include Florida, others do not. Some include Texas, others do not. Some include states on the northern edge of the area, some do not.

It laid this out very credibly. It had a very respectable list of sources. The author talked about getting original copies from someone who was old of some of the papers and what not that he referenced.

Sadly, I cannot remember the name of the book. If I can find it, I will let you know.

Also, I have read a different theory than the one you cite for why Asians ended up working on, for example, the rail lines that were laid across the U.S. It involved the fact that they drank tea, thus they boiled their water. This protected them from getting diseases that often laid up white workers in harsh settings where the water was not always safe to drink without boiling.

The racist explanations you list sound to me like explanations created by people living through the fallout who were expressing their anger rather than genuinely analyzing the situation.
You do realize that recording video content was inherently created /after/ the ability to transmit it in the first place, so even if looping has been around for a long time, the ability to transmit video has been around longer. And, as the other reference mentioned, much longer. The point of these systems was to be an alternate to a failure, so it failing wouldn't be acceptable - and rewinding or even replacing with a second tape would be a failure of a system that has to constantly present an image to the viewer.

In the US we're all 'Throwaway People'. Its just a matter of time before all our jobs here are automated (programming, lawyering, even art and design). And yet everybody here seems to think that they will get different treatment than detroit workers, or truckers, or who-ever is losing their job to automation. The rich have responded perfectly consistent to automation opportunities, and yet somehow programmers seem to think it will be different for them. Instead we spend all our time discussing the various merits of each of these jobs, and how its probably a good thing that they've been automated. Its like everyone thinks we're magically going to get Star Trek instead of Blade Runner.

It's not bizarre, we did exactly that (to varying degrees of scientific quality) until the events of the mid 20th century.

As humans we still suck at knowing what to do with the data, we look at headline figures and not distribution graphs. If we found out tomorrow that Icelanders on average had an IQ 10 points lower than most humans we would likely see a lot of discrimination against Icelanders, even the ones on the upper end of the distribution graph that are more intelligent than the average human.

Collisionless Encounters and the Origin of the Lunar Inclination Problem [pdf]
I'm surprised to be the only one to point out that many of the examples the author uses are misleading.

"Facebook is impersonating you to post things!" -> Facebook clumsily attaches an advertisement to a post with a prominent Related Post header.

"Facebook selling your data to Mastercard!" -> anonymized data is being sold to Mastercard to understand browsing habits and interests.

"Facebook buries posts that it doesn't like so your friends don't see them" -> The News Feed is a compilation of the most popular items of your friends postings; all shared items are available by looking at a friend's page.

"Facebook influenced the 2016 election because it only showed news that was in each users' bubble" -> The little-used Trending Topics section showed news that a given user was likely to want to click. Most users just click on what their friends post. If they're in a bubble, it's because they don't have friends outside of it.

"Facebook gives direct access to the NSA via Prism" -> Facebook receives a National Security Letter and then is forced to give the information to the government.

At least 2 of the most outrageous claims (insurance companies getting Facebook data, Facebook teaming up with data brokers) lead to broken links. Other evidence is on forbes.com/sites, which is not far off from Medium in terms of oversight.

There are some good points. The issue of Facebook's adding the @facebook.com email address as the default (and in some cases deleting the contact's existing email) was a hugely unethical and unpopular thing to do. Many of the future risks the author mentions are realistic and damaging to privacy and personal liberty. Also, looking at idealized pictures of friends' lives can cause feelings of envy and inadequacy. Not to mention the near-constant outrage effect of sensational news being shared.

The author has some good points about the potential future risks of being on Facebook. And some excellent suggestions on how to mitigate it, especially the anti-web tracking tips. Why water it down with deception? It serves only to weaken the argument.

You are getting the join from itertools. There's no join on iterators in the standard library, only on &[T] (which is why the collect is needed).

A quick search of itertools docs indicates there's no join method in it that takes two parameters, only a method that takes a &str like the slice one in std, and a freestanding version of it that takes the iterator as the first argument (instead of as the method's self) and the &str as the second.

Based on reading that documentation, I think steve's original comment was meant to say "second collect", not "second map".
