No, they're not saying that. Although there's a bit of merit to the idea, and it's part of the justification for choice of groups protected by anti-discrimination laws.

Here's two more arguments:

- When such profiling is actually a contradiction of the traditional, racist stereotypes, it is far easier to believe that it's actually the result of learned experience, and therefore part of an honest attempt to be effective.

- It's far less of a burden to be confronted by "unusual" stereotyping. For practical reasons, because, say, one employer not hiring you because they don't like redheads is far less of a threat to your career than a significant number thinking your gender or skin color disqualify. And, more importantly, it will cause less psychological harm. To illustrate: I'm 6 feet tall; Once, for reasons I still don't understand, someone tried to insult me as being short. Such incongruities are more likely to cause bewilderment than anger or sadness.
The Constitution is a document establishing and limiting government power. It has nothing to do with what I am talking about

Freedom of speech exist beyond and outside of the 1st amendment, that fact that many people believe all free speech issues are limited only to the 1st amendment and government censorship is part of the massive problem we have in society at large
You probably mean a projector (beamer is a German word, not English).
Yep, that's what they said. You can read it right there in the comment.

Are you trying to imply something?

I hope you're not trying to imply hypocrisy, because saying what someone should do is not speaking for them.

Yes, it's legitimate to discriminate on behavior, including dress code.

As long as it's clearly stated and not applied selectively.

Yeah that's fair. It was a weak argument.
I’m a white Scandinavian male, well dressed and always looking like I belong in any higher class setting, but I would love this concept as well.

I have anxiety and even though it’s not really hindering me in any way, I still double check my damn bag before I enter a store and I always make sure to get a receipt to be able to prove I paid, even though I’ve never even been looked over by store security.

Normal people wouldn’t notice, but grocery stores are designed to think some of their visitors are thieves, and if Amazon Go took that away from the experience I’d honestly never shop anywhere else.

I think the problem is more about the product market fit than youtube as a sales channel.

I think your product is more aimed at an audience of geek-adult otaku than a market of children interested in reviews of candy (so ordinary products that you can buy at the supermarket).

In my opinion a strategy that would bring results is to do cross-marketing with similar niche sectors (manga lovers, otaku geek, japan lovers, animé fans, etc.). In my experience the japan culture lover is willing to spend constantly in this type of products.

An idea could be to diversify the product (eg including Japanese magazines, gadgets, or other). So make more expensive packages and cheaper packages for different market segments.

Sorry for my english :)
Why isn't that a good reason?

It's not a search engine's job to be the thought police.

Isn't that the history of computing? the word UNIX points at the disdain its makers had for Multics. They broke every rule IBM had.

PCs were these toys for people who had no acces to real computers, until they were the standard. Microsoft provided toy OSes until they wiped out almost anybody else. Java, MySql and subversion are other examples.

I've read somewhere that every succesfull product has a phase where the world laughs at it. If that hadn't happened, it would have been smothered in the cradle by the behemots of its time. Being laughed at gave it time to grow.
I could do that but I thought there’d be someone who I’m supposed to send GDPR complaint to. I haven’t looked into this at all yet I just remember there was some mention of some supervisory agency or something like that in the GDPR which I read several months ago.
> Of the 7% of men who say they are often the only man in the room at work, the majority say they feel included and “fortunate to be there.”

The above is just stated as obvious, while with reversed genders the problem deserves an article, public discussion, and various forms of "positive" discrimination. Here lies the core of the problem.

Man without a woman - a loser.

Man among the women - fortunate.
Snarkyness? What snarkyness? I don't understand what you mean. So I'd appreciate it if you'd explain what your point is more clearly, by directly addressing the questions I asked.

Please be kind enough to link to the source code of the language "zis" that you wrote, just like I linked to the source code that I and others wrote to illustrate my point. I'd like to see the actual code you wrote, so I don't miss your point, and can see that you're arguing in good faith. Thank you, kind sir or ma'am!

So what else is your language "zis" good for? Is it fully general purpose, easily editable at runtime, graphically skinnable with a build-in drawing editor, and dynamically scriptable and extensible by normal users, like HyperCard and HyperLook and Smalltalk? Do you think Alan Kay would describe "zis" as the "right way to go" like he described NeWS, and what other end-user problems does it solve, in the sense that he thinks HyperCard is brilliant and that Smalltalk pioneered? Is "zis" as "finished and smoothed and documented beautifully" as Alan Kay describes HyperCard?

Have you developed and shipped any commercial products or free software with your language, like SVR4 or SimCity, that I can see and run for myself, so I can be confident you're not just making stuff up or wildly exaggerating, and that it works as you advertise? And have you written any books or documentation or articles or research papers about it that I can read to learn more about it? Or at least a screen snapshot, please? What are the URLs?

Have you finished reading the X-Windows xeyes source code that I referred you to? Did you simply copy that code somebody else wrote into "zis" verbatim, or did you actually write your own original code? How is it licensed, and where has it been distributed: is it open source or not, and where's the repo?

Now that you have presumably used the X-Windows SHAPES extension API first hand yourself, please share your experience and tell me what you think of it: do you think that it is well designed and easy to use or not? What changes or improvements would you suggest? Did you run into any of its limitations, or notice any unnecessary complexity, or ICCCM window manager incompatibilities? How well does your language "zis" support the SHAPES extension and ICCCM protocol, or improve upon them, and what else is it good for than xeyes?

Finally, does "zis" support dragging and dropping eyes into each other, nesting their windows into an arbitrarily deep hierarchy, like my NeWS eyes did 27 years ago, and what ICCCM window managers support that feature, or did you have to write your own window manager or X extension to support that feature?

Thanks for taking all this time and effort to design and write and share all that code, and to support and clarify your fascinating arguments. I'm looking forward to seeing your code and your answers to my questions.
The point of autocompletes is to make it easier for you to search by prompting you to choose a readymade option that might be relevant. They happen to use what other people search for, but that's an implementation detail. It's not that Bing is showing you the uncensored truth about what people search for, it's that it's prompting you to search for really bad things.

Yes, and none of them were carrying "real" satellites. (Falcon 1.1 had a student build satellite, 1.2 a dead weight, and 1.3 had some nano satellites and another test satellite.

According to the article this first attempt at launch in China had a State television communications satellite on board. Ouch!
True. Even in my thoroughly atheist and liberal nation of birth I get payed double when I work on Sunday. I have no special feelings for it, Sunday or Monday its all the same to me. But thousands of years history and culture can't be erased easily.

This reminds me somewhat of a non-profit retail store in San Francisco where I volunteered to pay off a pile of parking tickets. The store itself sold local artisanal housewares to help support a number of local AIDS/HIV-related charities.

What really made a lasting impression on me was their loss-prevention training me was that not everybody is strong enough to carry an item, a bag, or push a cart while shopping. When seeing somebody place an item in their pocket/purse/bag we would offer to carry it for them or hold it at the front-desk.

This enabled a compassionate the benefit of the doubt to a clientele base who were often too frail from HIV-related illnesses to hold the item in their hands and offered a gracious, de-escalated escape route for would-be thieves.
Your link is about mopeds, not scooters.

(Confusingly, mopeds are often called scooters in non-English speaking countries.)
I think the problem with this is it assumes that there is something inherently intuitive about notepad-style editing, rather than the style coming from a bunch of historical accidents (how typewriters work, etc).

I'm not going to argue that vim is intuitive (I think it is, but regardless), I think it would be sad if we reified last-centuries' 'practical' into this centuries' 'intuitive'. You'd end up with everybody working through a bunch of really weird historical anachronisms, jumping hoops to satisfy design limitations that haven't existed for centuries.
Except it is probably the other way round: shop employees in some shops learn to be extra watchful of black customers, because they have experienced black customers stealing. So with Amazon Go, they'll not become racist in the first place.
Sure, but google image search gives spam results from Pinterest, so Bing still wins.
Not if it felt like it.
Also check out the licenses...
What bothers me even more is the 25 kph speed limit, after which all the electronics are legally required to be dead weight. Come on, I can cycle faster than that on muscle power (and I normally do). I've averaged 27 kph doing 90 kilometers on a friggin touring bike, carrying a sleeping bag, change of clothes, shoes.

I take a bike to get from place A to B faster. I'd take an electric bike to get even faster while spending less of my own energy. Actually, I'd be quite happy even with just 250W as long as I can use all of it on top of my muscle power, no matter how fast or slow I'm going.

Speed is ultimately what makes me pick the car over bike for longer rides.
Specifically they have a provisional license which means they took a 1 day course. They haven't passed their full driving test and still have L plates on their motorcycle. It's insane they are allowed to work based on a skill they officially don't have.
You can't, basically. All the certifications are scams. The best is the CSCS but even that is watered down.

Buy Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe and read it front to back. Then watch his videos/DVDs. Then execute the movements per the book and video them.
To be fair, this is probably far from being "released"
When you get the receipt back, you can request an item be cancelled because you "didn't take it". They will pretty much accept it, no questions asked.

> but I get the impression this is as surprising as the discovery of Hawking Radiation in the first place

It should be noted that we have yet to experimentally observe Hawking radiation (it is so low-power we don't have the means to observe it). People talk about Hawking radiation as though it is a discovered phenomena -- it isn't. It's a prediction based on our understanding of quantum mechanics and some thinking about how it interacts with event horizons -- and observing it would help reinforce our understanding of the underlying theories.
What? I tried these searches out when the article was just three hours old on HN. I could not reproduce any of these results. Safe Search was set "Moderate", and my results did not change significantly when I switched it to "Off".

The worst it got for me was when I asked for autocomplete suggestions for "muslims are":

good
hindu
worst
cancer
killed

Disclosure: I performed these searches from India. I'm open to the possibility that there could be regional factors worsening the search results in the US. Even so, I can't imagine what Indian customizations would make my search suggestions for "Michelle Obama" so innocuous compared to what I see in the article.

This article assumes that Bing is in the business of telling people what to think

It's not; it's in the business of showing what people think
Your history lesson is a little flawed though. The right wasn’t unable to speak their minds in Germany, in fact they spent a good decade talking their hate, before they started using violence.

It wasn’t until after the war Germany started to censor things, and today they’re arguable leading the free world in terms of liberal values. The political views on individual rights and freedoms in modern Germany are a lot more similar to the American revolutionaries than those of modern day America after all.

I think ISIS makes such a good example because it brings out the flaws of the anti-censorship arguments. Almost no one is opposed to censorship as long as it’s for something they turly disagree with, and it’s really hard to defend ISIS in any level.

You’ll find some anarchists who want nothing to be censored, but you’ll find very few advocates of places like GAP that also defend the rights of ISIS, even though the rhetoric against entire religious groups like Jews is actually a lot worse on GAP than they are on ISIS twitter.

Don’t get me wrong, im not advocating for censorship, I just think the difference in opinion within the US is weird. I mean, how can you both want censorship for your opponents while simultaneously wanting complete freedom of expression for your own views?
ag Needle < haystack

When I was in primary school, around the age of 10. One friend used to change ties and go to the neighbouring school, attend a class and have lunch, then make it back for our lunch. I was flabbergasted. He said it was so easy and when confronted by the other schools staff he would say he was the new kid.

His surname was also interesting being a foreign word for "untrue". I often wonder what he is doing now.
If you care to actually read the post he’s not saying he was targeting white people because of race. He is saying they target people due to suspicious behavior and then gives you a lay down of the race of those targeted.

It’s not an account of someone being racist against Caucasian a and everyone being fine with that.

Java RIP, thx Oracle.
People see the uniform not the face. It is a truism, and it can be weirdly triggered. For example, late August afternoon I went into Staples to buy some office supplies, and I had just happened to be wearing khaki pants and a red polo shirt which unfortunately was exactly the same color as the red 'staples' staff shirts. All through the visit anxious mothers came up to me looking for school supplies for their kids or asking if I could check in back for this or that thing. I would tell them I wasn't working there but one refused to believe me, she said I was lying because I just didn't want to do the work to check for her. I pointed out the lack of logo on my shirt but it didn't help.

In a related note I normally carry a high visibility vest and a blue hardhat in my earthquake supplies 'go bag' in my car. The hardhat was left over from the Hoover Dam tour (which gave out real hard hats as souvenirs!) and the vest I wear when I'm biking. I reasoned that after an earth quake if I am walking home I don't want aftershocks dropping bricks on my head. Several people have warned me though that if you step out into a post disaster scenario with a hard hat and a vest people will assume you have an official capacity and are there to help. You won't get a chance to walk home.
If it's a trivial thing to change, and that 1% has the highest suicide rate in society? I'd say it's the most important thing they could do at this point.

Also, I am cisgendered, and it's important to me. So it's more than 1% of the population. Or do you believe that you have to be a member of a group to be bothered by things that affect them?
If you know where to look you can find free software games (not necessarily even limited to GPL) that are making money right now. Of course they aren't the majority, but I think a lot of us would like to change that.

The biggest potential replacement for Unity seems to be Godot Engine (https://godotengine.org) which is MIT licensed. From what I hear it's supposed to be easier to learn than Unity.
I think there won't be any progress in the racism discussion, until there is an acknowledgement that profiling to some degree is normal and acceptable. People should still be treated with dignity and presumed innocent until proven guilty. But you can not ask people who have had bad experiences to pretend they didn't happen.

As an extreme example that "the left" might be able to emphatize with: imagine a woman who has been raped. Should we blame her, if she acts more careful around men in the future?
As a purely technical note, there is a Linux which is a UNIX: Inspur K-UX.

As a resident of Raleigh, NC..I can say the feedback has been unexpectedly positive.

Although, many people approve of the scooter situation, there has been a couple shortcomings:

* Riding on sidewalks!! Not only does the app discourage you from doing it, but most scooters have wrtitten warnings suggesting not to do it.

* Complete disregard for the rules of the road.

I actually sympathize with people who ride scooters. It turns out, the majority are not cyclists, and so, when suddenly put people in charge of such devices they revert to what they know (and are comfortable with), sticking to the sidewalks.

Furthermore, the few that do meander into the road do not know the actual rules of the road. That is, bike / cycling rules. Once the scooter hits the streets it should be treated as a bicycle. It should remain in the right side of the lane (assuming there's no bike lane), should produce all of the turn signals, and should definitely yield as any cyclist would. (I totally get that you might roll through a stop sign because theres nobody around, and there's no point in coming to a complete stop)

Anyway, this is is my mini-rant from having these things dropped off in my town for the last few months.

> color-coding the ends

Is there ever a scenario where color-coding is the only safety feature?

Because people can be remarkably ignorant about color-blindness.
I have the same feeling, and I think people often mix his personal achievement (fighting a degenerative disease for so long and being a very large mind in the world of cosmology) with his scientific achievements (helping refine cosmology and think about black holes and their interactions). I've read several of his books and papers, and while they are definitely very brilliant, he never produced a Principa Mathematica (even Einstein didn't).

In many ways I would argue that Einstein would be a more apt comparison. Einstein based most of his fundamental musings by identifying issues you see when combining different fields and then using thought-experiments to think about these issues. Hawking similarly operated through though-experiments and trying to piece together different concepts from different fields (though he focused far more on cosmology).

Einstein was a brilliant scientist (obviously), but people often over-complicate his work. In many ways, the real beauty of Einstein's work was just how simple and fundamental it was -- and how un-intuitive the final conclusions are. Newton is a whole different ballgame (even though he was wrong about absolute space and time -- but that conclusion took Maxwell's equations to discover).
Where North Americans generally see crass overstatements as just that, the remainder of the Anglosphere (the author of the article being an Australian) see them as colourful humour.
