I've seen stories about Davis in the past but never read closely, though I've idly wondered how much danger he has been in.

A couple questions ask about this and it seems he has been attacked a few times. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/70vcr0/im_daryl_davis... https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/70vcr0/im_daryl_davis...

I'm not sure where the quote comes from, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daryl_Davis says:

> However, not all Klan members were receptive to Davis's advances. Some reacted with anger or even violence. Davis stated, "I was not seriously injured. I've faced knives and guns and of course fists. I've had to physically fight upon occasion, but that is not my first resort. I did not carry any weapons to my interviews. On one occasion, it was only one Klansman who attacked me. On another, it was 3 of them. I won, both physically on the street and legally in court."

I would be too scared to do what he has done, even as a white gentile. The more physical distance between me and hate group adherents, the better. But hats off to Davis and anyone braver than me.
Of course "flavor" also includes things in the nose i.e. olifactory system, and I'd guess that most things that people talk about with wine are happening there. So yes, there are genetic differences that affect taste probably more than hearing, at least at the actual sensory organ.

But the other thing to remember is that the brain is physical too, and can be subject to genetic differences. It's just that we probably understand how the tongue affects taste more than we can understand how the brain affects other preferences (including flavor)....because the brain is so ridiculously complicated and interconnected.

I am all for seeking professional help, and I don't put faith in alternative medical practices. With that said, I think currently pharmacology is too constrained by special interest groups. Cannabis is a great example of something that greatly improves the quality of life for many people, but isn't recognized and respected as medicine by the medical community at large.

* Because we're not in a theater of war and they're not enemy combatants.

* Because we're no better than them if we inflict wanton violence on people we would rather not have around.

* Because it's taking the bait. The whole point in kindling all this anger is bring out the worst in everyone and show the world 'the intolerant left' and stupid 'punch a Nazi' bullshit only proves their point. The more these people are silenced, attacked and marginalized by 'leftists' in power the more they're able to show just how much power 'the left' wields.

I actually want to understand the chip manufacturing process - design, prototyping (using FPGAs, etc), baking process in foundries. And also at least a basic understanding of how IP is managed in chip industry - like "IP core" is a term that I frequently hear but due to the myriad interpretations available online, I don't really understand what an "IP core" really means. Hoping to get useful advice from veterans in the chip industry.
Would you please not break the HN guidelines by going on about downvotes? Nothing justifies further downvotes more.

The problem with your comment is that it takes the thread in both a more generic and a more partisan direction. A bad combination for HN (which is not to say that you're wrong).
Well, there is a lot of evidence that your perception of the quality of a wine actually effects how you taste it. If you can somehow convince yourself that a $3 bottle is actually $30 bottle (or more), you'll actually like it better!
If you want people to understand it, you probably need to pack your Creepy Crawler kit next time you go to a party, and give a demonstration.

Doesn't this make us intolerant by definition?

I agree. Sometimes these substances act like a bulldozer that destroy doors that should have remained closed. For some people, opening these "doors" will lead to more harm than good. I am not writing this to demonize psychedelics, but only to say they can be unpredictable.

As I grow older, I realize we are the product of organized and sometimes very ancient memories and obviously we have not been told (by parents, society) to take a step back and look at things from a detached perspective. As a results, we are like prisoners of memories, symbols and habits, unable to see what's beyond all that.
Weed's psychedelic properties are vastly understated. Especially for people who aren't exposed to it, the first few times is definitely a very psychedelic experience.

Interesting article, but it's not particularly notable that someone wouldn't like "big" wines (those with lots of alcohol and tannins). Those wines are better aged, and even when consumed, are better with something that can stand up to the strong flavours; well-charred, fatty steak is the classic pairing for these wines, and it is very good. In fact, this association could be why so many people like these wines.

In many cases people just grew up to be and found a community where they are accepted. A dialogue with them like how it has been mentioned in the article is all it takes.
Well there's some truth to that, but I don't agree with how you interpret it. Unfortunately the question gets so complicated so quickly that I don't know how to write about it in an internet comment. So I'll respond with some things I do know how to say.

Perceptions of "the opinion the HN community holds" are in the eye of the beholder. If you don't believe me, take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15307915 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15032682 and plenty more at https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&prefix&page=0&dateRange=....

People see X they don't like and conclude that "the community endorses X". Advanced version: "the moderators endorse X". This is not how HN works—the opposite of X is here too, it just doesn't get noticed the same way (people notice most what they dislike the most). Since X varies with the observer, this isn't specific to any political view.

You wrote your comment in the combative style that is popular on the internet. From past exchanges, I'm pretty sure you have HN's best interests at heart as well as wanting there to be more good in the world. No argument there! The trouble with the combative style is not that the community (or moderators) disagree with the content ideologically. It's that in this style one comes out swinging and assumes bad faith, and that's bad for good conversation, which is really all we're hoping for.

Ideological combat insta-sorts the world into enemies vs. fellows and goes to war against the former. Indeed that's all it does—it's always on a war footing, and we all know how it has been taking over online. We're (hopelessly?) hoping to avoid that on HN. Is that because we hold regressive views about race or are milquetoast centrists? No, it's just that we'd like to have an internet forum that isn't dumb, which is what scorched earth leads to.

HN's goal is to be interesting, which means being unpredictable, which means not saying the same things over and over. Ideological battle has a different goal and requires saying the same things over and over. That is why the two are incompatible; it's not because HN promotes ideology not-X where you favor X.

I'm sure we could do better and if you know how, I'd love to learn. But we need to agree that HN's goal is to gratify intellectual curiosity [2]. I think it's fair for there to be different forums that optimize for different goals, don't you? That's this one's.

This sounds a lot like the supertasters I've known. Certainly not as sensitive to salt as other things- whether this is because saltiness works differently than other taste, or whether it's just impossible even for supertasters not to acclimate to it in the Western food environment, I don't know.
I have to admit the only wine that I ever thought was special was Petrus.

I'm also fairly sure that if they weren't labelled differently, I wouldn't be able to tell much difference between two red grapes or two whites. I'm a bit cynical about other's ability to do so as well, but politeness prevents me from expressing it. Sometimes it's good to have something to talk about, so you let the group's wine connoisseur go on about the provenance of whatever you're drinking.
it depends on what foods you are eating. wine goes really well with certain foods eaten in a certain order. if you could care less about maximizing the experience, thats fine, but drinking and enjoying wine is not about some 'pretending to be wealthy' feeling.

You guys are getting lost too much in domain-specific terms. At its core fascism is one thing:

The belief that a nation is like a living being and must do everything to protect itself as it is at that moment and try to grow, and that might makes right on a national scale. It's the belief that Darwinian principles of the survival of the fittest do not only apply to creatues, but also to nations and that this is also how the world should be.

Everything else is just the expression and logical conclusion of this belief.

And the nazis currently in germany specifically 100% subscribe to this. They do not want the national culture to be changed, they do not think other nations should be helped, etc. etc.

Even white supremacy is just a side effect of that. It comes from wanting the demography of one's country to remain unchanged.
It's probably the most comprehensive in terms of personnel and man-hours; those other mapping efforts are highly automated, but the descriptions of these maps imply a lot of people on the ground making them so detailed, since for a lot of the map details I don't see how you could reasonably get them from looking at a satellite map or a few public records. (Or perhaps they simply mean most comprehensive as in up to that point in time, which is a legitimate amount of hyperbole such an endeavour.)

I do not want to see brown shirts patrolling the streets. Antifa is effectively creating them from thin air.

>The name Sturmabteilung was first used in late 1921 when it was led by Captain Pfeiffer von Salomon. Because speaking in public was potentially a dangerous matter when politics was concerned, the original task of the SA was to protect Hitler as such events usually attracted the Communists and frequently ended in violence and disorder. This played into Hitler’s hands as many members of the SA were from the old German Army and knew how to cope during such incidents. When fights broke out the Weimar police appeared powerless and law and order was usually restored by the SA. This gave Hitler the lever he needed to claim that the Weimar regime lacked leadership and power while he was the one person who could restore Germany to law and order.

Well, that's the point. If you can get your job done with IE (I can only guess what kind of job is that), you just do it without pointless clicking, pressing F1 button or anything else that does not belong to the path of success. Talks about "it's worse", "omg it's so slow", "why not firefox/chrome/whatever" are meaningless when you are in strict corporate environment with only IE allowed or even possible. True professionals do not pay much attention to the tools. They pick the best when they have choice or find the way to use what's available, because craftsmanship is not about the tools.
> The way you treat others' emotions is an ethical matter.

This is a fundamental conflict in ethics. Where does freedom end in the face of the freedom of others?

Now, in this case, there is framing going on. One could say that group A were playing with the emotions of group B and hurt them that way. I think, on the other hand, group A wanted to have a conversation about a topic, group B did not tolerate that discussion and tried to shut it up. I think group B acted unethical. If you don't like a topic of a debate, do not take part in it. After all, that is trivially easy here on HN. To me this seems to be an example of aggressive political correctness; a topic is identified as unwanted, and attacked with the aim to shut it down.

This critique is not against you. Others that have also commented here show this behaviour blatantly. You on the other hand gave constructive critique and insight, even though I disagree with the judgement. What is a "right" way to bring up a topic? The way it was brought up was literally a single word with a question mark. I don't think this is the optimal way to constructively bring a discussion forward, but it certainly does not deserve the reaction it got.
The thing : #1 was wrote by Popper, a rather known utilitarist (well, negative utilitarist: every action, instead of optimizing overall happiness, should aim to decrease overall pain). There is a lot of modern philosopher that agree with this as well. This is a catchphrase, it doesn't refer to what you read but to the reflexion behind (like "i think therefore i am" refer to cartesian doubt and that you can doubt of anything except the fact tht you exist).

HS:
The main issue with that, a sentence that resume an "essai" (don't have a clue about the english translation), is that people that do not know what philosophy really is. Let's be honest, if it is taught as well in the world than in France, almost nobody knows. So most people misunderstand what it really means, while some of the other use this knowledge to put people down. Even writing this, i'm pedantic, and i really don't want to be, so imagine someone who like feeling full of himself? And that way, more and ore people hate philosophy and philosopher, and get disinterested.
(i wrote like a hundred lines about philosophers in French media, but i'm sure no one care so i will refrain...)
I don't see why you should feel like the burden is on you. Ultimately you don't decide what other people think, and so you cannot be responsible for changing their minds. You can show them that alternate beliefs (yours) do exist, and that you hold them just as they hold theirs.

Unless you're involved in a personal situation where a third person - friend or family - is being a victim of hate, I wouldn't beat yourself up over your inability to do more.
Secession can certainly be illegal, but that simply means any outcome of an unsanctioned referendum is legally irrelevant.

As far as I can tell, Spain is going to great lengths to curtail the rights of citizens to express their opinions on secession. They're free to ignore the outcome of this vote, but raiding ISPs, shutting down political pamphlets, and reading private mail are not the actions of a democratic country—they're tactics straight out of an authoritarian regime.

Secession is also illegal in the US (and we fought a war to prove it), but you don't see federal agents arresting people for starting ballot initiatives in California or shutting down Vermont secession websites.

>Do you always have to wait until people translate toxic words into toxic actions?

Yes. Otherwise we are attempting policing through pre-crime. Also, `toxic` is always subjective. It becomes a useful vehicle by which the definition will always be expanded to include what someone dislikes.
> The world already saw once what happens when you don't prevent Nazis at all costs, we don't need to repeat history.

Did you know that during the rise of Hitler, there were almost daily violent clashes - many of them resulting in murders - between right wing and left wing extremists? It was not like the anti-Nazis wren't trying to "prevent nazis at all cost". But using street violence against street violence only serves to destroy rule of law, and whoever wins the violent clashes, democracy loses.

First, that's not what's going on in that article. The protection was for his company's reputation ("We were worried that people would say, 'We won't work with you anymore,'") pending their public stock offering. Prince has a fiduciary duty to his company and that was on display.

As to your counter claim ("We never made such a claim.") you need to understand that you are asking us to believe you rather than Cloudflare. As the Daily Stormer you have zero credibility.

What you do have is legal recourse. If you feel you've been libeled then sue Cloudflare. That is your right in a court of law. But your expectation of credence, no. Moreover, the lack of this lawsuit lowers your credibility below zero.
I think a large number of the people protesting on the other side are not neo Nazis and white supremacist. When you demonise the other side instead of trying to understand them you can justify horrible actions.

It's just not true at the very low price points. I can drink 3 buck chuck anytime but I will know it is 3 buck chuck. Why? It's much harsher and lacks any depth in flavor.

Now give me a good wine in the $15-20 range and it can be incredibly satisfying. There are also plenty of bad expensive wines. But as you dip below the $10 mark I have yet to find a wine that isn't much harsher and harder to drink.

> wine goes really well with certain foods eaten in a certain order.

> drinking and enjoying wine is not about some 'pretending to be wealthy' feeling.

I'm pretty sure that these two statements are contradictory. Wine tastes good, and it tastes good with other things, but in no way more special than say, other fruit juices or beverages.

Do you maximize the experience of a fine meal with a flight of six different orange juices? No, nobody ever does that. And yet there is certainly as much variation in citrus juice as there is in grape.

Wine is treated differently precisely for the kind of reasons that you have to explicitly disclaim "pretending to be wealthy" as a motivation.
