> The largest-ever study of alleged racial profiling during traffic stops has found that blacks, who are pulled over more frequently than whites by day, are much less likely to be stopped after sunset, when "a veil of darkness" masks their race.

> The Stanford team decided to repeat the analysis using the much larger dataset that they had gathered. First, they narrowed the range of variables they had to analyze by choosing a specific time of day -- around 7 p.m. -- when the probable causes for a stop were more or less constant. Next, they took advantage of the fact that, in the months before and after daylight saving time each year, the sky gets a little darker or lighter, day by day. Because they had such a massive database, the researchers were able to find 113,000 traffic stops, from all of the locations in their database, that occurred on those days, before or after clocks sprang forward or fell back, when the sky was growing darker or lighter at around 7 p.m. local time.

"Extreme force"?

Do you realize what you are asking for?
Europe didn’t miss the internet bus because of regulations, there were no regulations until the dust settled.

The thing is, there’s no US style capital in EU. The American capitalist bankrolled all the internet when there was no clear path to make money from it.

I remember when YouTube was burning billions per year, Facebook being labeled as “would never be profitable”.

Is there the kind of money in Europe that would take these risks?

There was no way for the internet to be EU thing because when it was fresh god knows how many billions had to be spent to have it operate and cross fingers to be able to recoup that investment. Simply, there is no that kind of money in Europe.

If you made the YouTube in Europe you would go bankrupt because you wouldn’t be able to pay the server bills.
The world isn't so black and white. Even in the US, the home of free speech, you can't post child pornogaphy online. You could easily put forward the argument then that freedom of expression doesn't exist in the US.

Freedom of expression has never really meant you're completely free to say and anything (at least no in a civilized world). There are always going to be gray areas, but equally there are areas where expression should obviously be protected.

An example would be, if Facebook decided to eradicate all homosexual content. Clearly the EU stepping in and saying you can't discriminate against gay speech is protecting the gay communities freedom of expression.

Equally the EU stepping in and saying the Facebook isn't doing enough to protect victims of revenge porn is providing safety online. And is a reasonable balance between the rights of free expression from the poster vs the victim.

In this analogy, you look at woodworking problems differently and might take on new projects but you still generally pick the same type of problem to work on with your newfound tool and retain the same system of values towards woodworking.

With economic systems, almost every action and thought-pattern you take in your daily life are reoriented according to the pressures you are subjected to. Even things that seem completely natural like the concept of a "hobby" or "free time" are massively different to previous eras and patterns of thought.

You're right, my point was a little lost in my long-winded answer.

RAW files just give you more latitude after the fact, and editing can either really eek out the last 20% or allow the photographer to better express their "artistic vision" and achieve a look (eg split toning or color grading). All this worked before on jpegs even, but raw just closes the camera/smartphone gap a tad bit more - especially when it's easily available to everyone.

You might be right that it's currently a niche, but if the UX improves, widespread adoption might happen.

I’m on the autism spectrum and I harness this ability to have conversations in my mind to improve my social interactions. I simulate all kinds of permutations of events and branches of conversations. When I get the chance some of these get tested in the real world and the information I gather from that is fed in to my next round of simulations. Ten years ago I couldn’t socialise at all. Now I can pass as normal in a lot of different situations. I think I’ve managed to build up some kind of subconscious model of how other people work.

Even when I’m not actively doing this, my thoughts take the form of conversations.

If you want to ignore the context I mentioned and make this a broad statement about policing in the US that’s fine but it’s also a completely different topic. Generally speaking, journalists are allowed to do their jobs and have a low risk of being arrested. They got caught up in the mix of the riots not dispersing as ordered, is my take. It’s not a trend or a bigger statement about the nations criminal justice system, no matter how flawed. This data shows nothing when context is applied.

I don't have any memory in my lifetime of a credentialed CNN reporter being arrested live on air in front of his camera crew on US soil until this year.

I think it is rare that the singular instance of misbehavior is caught on live video feed.

I would have to assume that there were many, many similar cases that weren't captured on live cable news.

This is the contrarian dynamic: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....

Internet comments get provoked by seeing something one objects to. When the thread is new, the only things to object to are the article and the title, so comments come from people objecting to those. Such posts tend to be reflexive and shallow because those are the fastest reactions to feel and the quickest to write. Mostly they are made from pre-existing thoughts and pent-up energy; there hasn't been time yet to absorb (let's call it) the fiber of a story—the specific information, the diffs, the curious bits. Thus they tend to be generic and angry, and usually are just triggered by some surface detail. Not good, but here we are.

Then there's a second wave of commenters who post objections to the objections. Those usually get upvoted, and that is how we so often end up with a "I can't believe these comments" or "WTF HN" comment at the top of a thread.

It's a mechanical process which has nothing specifically to do with either the content or the community. The community is simply large enough that for literally any $X there are sufficient readers who will reflexively object to $X. We're all full of reflexive reactions, just to different things.

Is that what we want here? No, but it's important to diagnose it correctly. The objections-to-the-objections wave (and yes, there are third waves too, and on it goes) can be just as reflexive and shallow as the original posts. The quality of these comments doesn't come from the content or the specific views being expressed—it's about what level of (let's say) the nervous system is producing them. If it's a fast, reflexive, cached reaction, that's not interesting. It can't be, because by definition it's about something else—something one has seen or felt or argued about before—while interest means being interested in this, what's new about it. For that one needs to access a slower, reflective mode (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...).

Responses of interest are slower to appear and seem to come literally from slower processes in the body. It takes time to process new information and for a new response to form. New responses are interesting and produce richer waves of conversation, as people have new responses to those in turn. We could call that the curiosity dynamic and that's what we're going for here (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...).
There are quite a lot of delicious vegan alternatives. Some cheeses seem difficult to reinvent as vegan options, but the rest that you mention definitely have great alternatives. Those alternatives were a lot worse 5 years ago. The dairy industry will probably not vanish completely or directly, but when the vegan alternatives are good enough for the majority, combined with a generational shift the dairy industry will start decreasing rapidly.

So the notion that "it would never happen" is a bit silly imo. I predict that the global dairy industry will be cut by half in 10 years.
The PinePhone camera is not good, blurry at high light, noisy at medium to low light levels. The Megapixels app is an attempt to create the best software possible for the PinePhone hardware, and looks less bad than the default camera used before.
It would be easier to throw away the code and have the EU create its own cloned services. I look at software as mostly prototyping. By now we've figured out that email is something we want. Buy some servers and create a mailbox for the citizens. Have an open source feature set. Let people make add-ons, migrate some of these into the default set. It will be hard to get in the way of it becoming something nice and useful.
You have misunderstood. The hardware device that was misbehaving had not yet been released to the public, yet it was running an ancient and out-of-date OS build. That's what I'm saying is idiotic.

Netflix can and should support their software on as old of OS releases as makes sense for them, but a hardware vendor introducing a new device to market on an outdated OS is inexcusable. Android 5.x received its final update in early 2015, over two full years before this mystery TV box was to be released. There is no good reason it couldn't have been on Android 7 or 8.

Yes, GraphQL would require fewer round trips than corresponding individual queries via REST, but that logic of mapping a GraphQL query to individual SQL queries from the DB resides in the GraphQL layer.

So, the question is how does that overhead compare to the overhead caused by multiple REST api calls?
And, in addition, how do the GraphQL layers scale as the GraphQL queries become complicated and larger.

Lol, from that very article:

> Specifically, in New York City, in encounters where white and black citizens were matched for other characteristics, they found that:

> Cops were…

> 17 percent more likely to go hands on black suspects

> 18 percent more likely to push them into a wall

> 16 percent more likely to put them in handcuffs (in a situation in which they aren’t arrested)

> 18 percent more likely to push them to the ground

> 25 percent more likely to use pepper spray or a baton

> 19 percent more likely to draw their guns

> 24 percent more likely to point a gun at them.
"Limiting" any technology only means limiting it for you and I, not for governments and others above the law. No thanks.

While the police are (in theory) subject to the same laws as everyone else that ban assault and battery, they are approximately never enforced against cops, and the US constitution doesn't say anything specifically about the right to not get beat up by the police (although that right certainly exists).

It does say that there are to be no laws abridging the freedom of the press. Additionally, press freedoms are really important, as a properly functioning free press allows people who might not get beat up by the police access to the knowledge that the police are breaking the law and beating people. People don't seem to like it when authority figures act hypocritically, so this is a great tool for exposing their crimes and perhaps causing something to be done about it.

From a consequentialist point of view, it's worse when the police beat journalists than people who aren't documenting cop crimes, because preventing press from publishing about criminal behavior by police increases the likelihood that they will go unpunished.

If we have limited resources to fight them, we should protect those who can accomplish the most in fighting this longstanding police culture of violence, racism, and lies by exposing it for the shameful, dishonorable practice that it is.
> Both the data and my lived experiences indicate a correlation between more extreme behavior among protestors and more arrests.

I think there's a false attribution of 'extreme behavior' with 'protestors' primarily. feel there are a significant number of people who took advantage of the protests to loot and burn and generally cause chaos. It's worth noting that Seattle and Portland, are primarily Caucasian (67% taken from OPCD), (77% taken from US Census Data) respectively. I think the looting can be more attributed to a general anarchy/countercultural movement in the PNW as opposed to protestors regarding BLM. It's definitely something that is more complex and requires more research than an off-the-cuff comment could generate.
Sure, but at some point, you have to start by defining "sure".
Solo backpacking (i.e. in the backcountry, not campgrounds) is a very different experience than with friends. The first time I did a longer trip (6 days) solo, I was terrified for the first 24 hours, but then eased into it and ended up having a really good experience. It can be intense, though. Even after the fear passes, other strong emotions might come up. Overall I prefer going with friends but I'm glad I've done some long solo trips too.
It absolutely does NOT matter if someone is identified as press or not. If a protest is declared an unlawful assembly and people are ordered to disperse then journalists must obey the orders given by police too. They do not have special privileges that exempt them from following lawful orders by police.

> I use the email to create an account on my backend. Users can backup data to their account. But nothing ties to "identity". They could fake all of it. I don't care. I send transactional emails, such as a reset password email.

Then you are collecting emails to identify users. It doesn't matter if the email is fake or not.

In other words, you are explicitly connecting a specific device to a specific account on your backend via that email.

>we can't compete

the issue is even deeper. You can't compete without recreating the same issues that those giants already have in the US or China. I don't even want to compete with Facebook just to have European Facebook, it'd suck just as much.

I want smaller companies, which don't abuse data, which don't sacrifice security for 'hypergrowth', who are able to moderate their content and comply with laws rather than ignore them, and so on. Companies like this will never compete with American or Chinese giants in a 'free market'. It's like having a green energy company compete with companies that can legally pour their waste into the river.

The EU needs to create rules to reward small companies and to curb large ones. Don't copy "maximal consumer welfare" doctrines or prioritise convenience, promote decentralisation. It looks like there's some good stuff in these new laws, but they don't go far enough yet.

These are definitely important factors, and Europe would be in much better shape if it did things right. But I think the geographical features are more important. An American company can grow big locally and then wash over the European market when it's reached maturity. In the meantime, European startups start off in their tiny local market, perhaps 10M, unable to compete in the US, but not big enough to easily expand to the rest of Europe. If for some reason you still succeed, now you have to recruit tens of thousands of people to move to your tiny little country, with a different culture and language. It's not easy to recruit people to move to Stockholm to work for Spotify, not only because of the weather, but also because who wants to spend the energy to learn Swedish for a single job? The alternative is to never really integrate into society.
I have less experience with GCP than AWS, but counting the number of features/services on AWS is definitely misleading. So many of the AWS services are effectively abandoned and missing critical features that makes them completely unfit for production usage, and it can be really hard to find this out before you run into the problems yourself. And then out of nowhere 3 years later they'll pick up development on an old thing again and finally fix that critical issue and make it much better. So I'm not sure I'd call that being way ahead.

My impression is that the stuff that GCP does have tends to be more capable and production ready (although I'm curious if others would disagree with that).
People throw away trash (empty soda bottles, candy wraps etc) a lot easier than they'd throw away a device meant to protect their (and others) health. The real number has to be waaay below 1%.
That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that if you write a piece of OSS software and your plan to monetize it is just hosting it then you're going to get eaten by companies who are better at hosting than you. Your valuable asset and your core business is your software not your ops.

Next, if the way you plan to monetize your OSS software is by selling a proprietary "enterprise" version but the features that version includes are easy to clone and your licensing costs are high then large companies will just hire people to develop their own in-house version and they might kill your business by open sourcing their version because they don't need to sell their in-house version to make it worth the cost.
