>> surely there would be third-world places today that are the same?

You seem to be implying that modern third world is so far behind so as to resemble 18th century Paris. While I agree with you that the quote in parent seems exaggerated I don't think even a modern very poor country will stink like 18th century London and Paris. 18th century was a time of horse driven transport and little to no sewer system. The main stench would be from those two things which in modern times is mostly absent even in poor third world countries.
Yeah, that's a good analogy! And it captures how you have that freedom, but also the onus is on you to take care of things :-) Of course, that's part of the fun of both.
Steph Curry is 6'3", in the 98th percentile for height. Wouldn't quite call him short. And there are only ~2,800 7-footers in the world, many of which are in the NBA. So tall players - meaning over 7 feet - are extremely rare.

Of particular interest is that the reason why only 9 companies were targeted is that if they had targeted 10 or more, they would have have a mandatory review under the paperwork reduction act. A review that would have almost certainly said they couldn't ask for most of what they asked for in the way that they asked for it.

On this logic and this logic alone, companies like Apple, Gab, GroupMe, LinkedIn, Parler, Rumble, and Tumblr were not targeted. Think about that.
It's the first, as orthecreedence explained. Though threads about product names are usually pretty shallow and don't make the greatest HN discussion, we wouldn't moderate them generally. This is a special case because there have literally been hundreds if not thousands of comments about it over god knows how many years, and once things have been repeated that often they become their own circle of hell. Thus, whenever something about this database gets posted, the main concern is whether the thread will get overwhelmed yet again by bickering about the name.

Interstates are a different situation so maybe that's the difference in perception. Or maybe I just got unlucky. There were no dogs in any of the pull overs although in one case they did want to look through the car.

> The United States, an entity that is legally distinct from its people, was culpable for enabling slavery and segregation. It can be held liable and forced to pay for its part.

Ignoring for a while a bunch of practical (though probably solvable to a large degree) problems with this, like on what basis exactly we decide who is paid, and how much are the damages exactly, a more interesting question to me is: what's next? Does this settle the claim completely? Do we consider the descendants of slaves, who get this settlement, to be made whole, and any further claims of the descendants of slaves are to be dismissed with prejudice? Are we supposed to no longer give any racial preferences and special treatment (beyond ensuring equal treatment that's a right of all American people regardless of their ancestry) to the descendants of slaves, given that any of their claims are settled in full? And finally, what do we do if the settlement does not close the gap completely? Are we then allowed to throw up our hands in the air, and say that the United States has settled its claims, and is not obligated to entertain any new ones beyond ensuring that those of actual unequal treatment are properly litigated?

My opinion here is that while settling the liability might look desirable from certain moral point of view, I sincerely doubt that it will bring a long term resolution of the problem attributed to the legacy of slavery. What I expect is that once settlement is paid up, everything about the issue will soon go back to exactly where it has been. This is not an argument against doing such settlement, but rather against high hopes for any positive long lasting change it is purported to bring about.

I don’t know who Pedro is, but Prof Anandkumar was known since her early academic career for turning data science problems into tensor decompositions. At the time I thought it was the most interesting research direction in the field. I met her at a conference and introduced her to Ben Hammer and Richard Sorcher. I didn’t know them either, but it worked out. Point is, it’s easy to feel attacked and lash out on the internet. Most people are pretty reasonable on the outernet though. It’s all about what the norms (algorithm) rewards. I wish tensor decomposition captured the interest of the tech world as much as social justice wars.

> Invariably this will come out of tax dollars to which I’m contributing by way of income tax.

This is no different than paying taxes for any number of other social programs, however its a singularly bad place to draw the line.

> Why should I be charged for wrongs - however horrible - in which neither myself nor my ancestors were involved?

Because you aren't being charged. The government that legalized and regulated slavery is being charged. This government is (one of) the legal institutions that permitted slavery and benefitted from slavery that still exists. Therefore they are responsible for satisfying legal claims that are still pending.

> When there was still slavery in America, my people were enslaving members of their own ethnic group back in the old country. Forgive me for not wanting any part of this current dispute.

If you don't want any part of it then you are free to remain neutral in discussions of this issue. By arguing against reparations you are participating in the dispute.

> And to those who will certainly tell me that I’ve benefitted from the modern spoils of slavery: I beg to differ. My first decade in the US was all about climbing out of the pit of “you’re not white enough for us because you didn’t go to a top school”.

That doesn't challenge the assertion that you benefitted from the accumulated capital that was in part built on the forced labor of slaves.

This feels a lot like what happened to Hack, which at first was compatible with PHP and could be compiled to it, but later became its own language to better fit FB's needs, and it seems like they're giving OCaml the same treatment here with ReScript.

There was actually some effort being made to keep OCaml tooling compatible with ReasonML (which is supported by dune[0] with no additional configuration) and BuckleScript integration with dune, which was being worked on before this rebrand, so it's kind of sad to see FB going off on their own with ReScript because they don't wanna do the work to upstream the changes they need.

By the way, regular OCaml also has its own JS backend[1] which is of course completely incompatible with BuckleScript.

You're a manager, that means lots of meetings. Planning meetings and 1-1 with direct reports. Personally, if I were the manager, and I committed to supporting this team, I would take the bulk of the hit and wake up as early as possible to overlap at least 3-4 hours with my team.

(Of course, I also would think long and hard about whether I wanted to make that commitment)

Generally, I also think it's important teams figure out their core timezone(s). A good rule of thumb for large companies is to at least span one ocean (to not be too insular). But spanning a 12 hr difference can be pretty tough.

> Its also a rather insidious bug, because the code will run seemingly normally, just... it never actually locks anything.

Actually, I think it's worse than that; IIUC, it will block until the mutex is unlocked, then run. Under light load, it will get away with this, but if the load is heavy enough, it will either guarantee that every process waiting for the lock runs at once, trampling each other's work, or almost-serialize them, making the race condition even more intermittent than if they didn't lock at all. Which failure mode you hit depends on how your scheduler works.

> It's not clear that reparations are a good idea in practice, or something to be "achieved," or even strived for (they might do more harm in practice to the group they intend to protect, as many well-intentioned and politically extremist ideologies do) not to mention any considerations involving whether it would be possible to sustain, or affordable, etc.

These are important considerations that impact directly on the form that reparations "should" take. However they are orthogonal to the merits of the claim for reparations.
Well, by your own analogy. If both you and the robber have been dead for 300+ years would it make sense to make the robbers family pay your descendants for it?
Keep in mind none of the people had contact with anyone remotely involved with the original robbery or had any way to influence it or impact it.
Should the sons pay for the sins of the fathers? Pretty sure I could find someone in your ancestral line that commit a crime, can I convict you for it?

So, yeah, the merits are kinda low to.
This is my experience, too. I was a new paying user of Amazon Seller Central, confused by the UI and missing documentation, and they simply ignored my ticket.
I think your analogy makes the wrong point. There are many reasons you might have something to hide, and to start with the simplistic ones your friends are presenting, among them is:

1. You did something wrong.

2. Someone else wants to do something wrong to you.

The first is in your control. I think I've acted with sufficient integrity for my life that I have nothing to hide which might land me in trouble.

The second is out of your control. There are unreasonable people in this world. If you have a stalker, you don't want them to know where you are. If your spouse cheats on you and leaves you, you might have a custody battle on the line. If your government goes the way of Germany or Russia circa 1940, you might want to hide your ethnicity or political beliefs. A police officer is investigating a crime, when someone you didn't like was killed; you didn't do it, but time, place, and motive are all there. None of these are particularly likely, but they do come up.

I have one person in my life, and to protect myself from them, I have a limited online presence. I use fake names, and my LinkedIn stopped updating a few years back which limits career prospects, but it's a sacrifice worth making. I let out a lot of information before that, which was a mistake. I went through some legal disagreements at one point, where another party acted unethically and decided to extort me. These things aren't in your control.

When I was young, I had nothing to hide. When I was older, I learned information is power, and information asymmetry can help you or hurt you. With that wisdom, I now have a lot to hide, and I advise younger folks to be mindful of their privacy.

I intentionally listed a lot of different things in my post, with fault lying in different places or nowhere at all, to give an idea of the variety of reasons one might want to hide something.

> That's because the first order of business is to demonstrate that reparations are even a good idea.

The first order of business is to demonstrate the validity of the claim. The benefit of the reparation is dependent on the form of the reparation itself.
