What's the variation in ticketing with respect to different police departments? How about geographic location?

Teasing out that data is actually a more fruitful exercise. I don't mean to sound callous at all when I say this, but having a study that says "In the US blacks are discriminated against" is a bit lacking in new data or understanding. Any intellectually honest observer already knows they face discrimination.

> The damage to Tesla's brand is irreversible.

I tend to believe that, while this may be a slight overstatement, the damage will take more time and effort to mitigate than it took to create, but even so, the market likely has priced in Musk continuing in his current role and extending the damage, so from that perspective a bounce back when it appears that the end of that is near still makes sense.

Hey, Dan. I'd be really interested if you could share more about the metrics. As the climate of the world around us has changed, I think a lot of us at least feel flagging has become a cudgel used to silence opposition. Me, for criticism of the current administration. Others, for their views on topics like gender.

Maybe we just care more and notice it about that subject now. Maybe it's always been this way. But while you often leave long comments that go into how these systems work and the struggles with trying to adjust them or understand of it's even necessary (good stuff), I would be fascinated to see a blog post or something where you really give us a talking to about the state of the community and anything y'all have been trying on your end.

Just a thought, obviously, you have a whole job moderating already! Have a good day!
The article called Real ID a North Korea-style domestic passport. That is not what it is. There is no categorical control on domestic travel. Commercial aviation is regulated by the federal government. If you believe that no ID should be required for air travel, that is one thing, but if you accept the need for a credential to fly, of course you'd expect it to use a standard defined by the entity requiring it.
Can’t wait to explore and see what’s possible. Also looking forward to what other people will build with it.
I haven't tried this out but if it works it's one the biggest bang for the buck I've seen on HN. Thanks!

Thanks in advance, Tom. Never a better time for more smart work in this area.

Another very common thing in the US is having to validate your dependents for employer-provided health insurance. Since most married couples use just one of the spouses' insurance for cost reasons (even if both of them have jobs that provide it), this involves submitting copies of your marriage license as well as birth certificates for all children. This has been a thing for years and I've had to do it a few times. Like getting a RealID, it's a bit of a hassle but not that big of a deal for 99% of people.

It's a cute article, but I don't think it holds up under scrutiny. I suspect it is much more a collection of unrelated reasons:

* Historical objects in museums are likely more colorful because we cared to preserve the most visually striking objects. Classic survivorship bias.

* Music has less dynamic range than in early recordings because producers were competing to be the loudest sounding song on the radio (see "loudness wars"). Those wars are actually over now and dynamic range has been increasing for about a decade.

* There is a whole lot going on behind trends in cinematographer color grading if you look into that world. But in the example here, I think it's largely that audiences expected "muted brown" as the color grade to send a "period film" signal. Witness also how every medieval or fantasy movie feels compelled to have all of the castle walls bare gray rock when they were in fact plastered and brightly colored. Likewise Roman architecture being alabaster white. Audiences wouldn't believe a Roman movie with painted statues or a fantasy film with colorful castle walls.

* Cars have muted colors because consumers moved towards a model where they sell cars every few years. When purchasing a car, they choose neutral colors to maximize resale value. Also, I think cars are simply much less a part of someone's social identity and status symbol and more of a utilitarian object than they they used to be. (Witness that when people buy expensive sports cars, those are more likely to be brightly colored.)

* Interior design trends come and go, but I think one of the drivers of gray walls was that it became a popular style for Airbnb rentals to avoid turning off potential renters. That led it to become associated with internationalism and modernity, and from there it sort of took off. Also, an increasing number of people are renting and are simply unable to paint their walls more interesting colors.
Wilhoit is essentially claiming conservatives are all narcissist, which I don’t think is the case. “Rules for thee, but not for me.” People with NPD have a sense of entitlement, which is a result of the in-group/out-group framework of themselves and others that their minds create to hide their damaged sense of self worth.

Wilhoit is kind of participating in the same in-group/out-group behavior, intellectually, by dismissing conservatism as just a bunch of narcissists, which itself is a very narcissistic thing to do.
I don't think we're actually disagreeing. Yes, moderation is key, but ultimately people post the content. As you say, it's a matter of attraction. But if the target group of attraction is empty, there's no amount of moderation that can help that.
Some companies even have a name for people after they left the company, like "xooglers" for Google and "outfluxers" for InfluxData
How did the value added tax (which is paid by all companies including domestic ones) become the same as import duty?

The only way that you can make that tariffs charged to the USA is the level Trump claims (ie. 39% in the EU) is if you include VAT.

My favourite joke whenever I tell people I make up estimates is “I’m completely wrong but I’d rather spend 30s and be wrong than 3h and still be just as wrong.”
I still can’t believe this. It’s just so comically absurd, like it’s straight out of the plot of Veep. Of all the people to add to the group chat, you add your most vocal critic with the largest megaphone?

There are a few possible explanations:

- “It was intentional.” This doesn’t pass the smell test and it’s not clear who benefits.

- ”It was a setup.” I suppose this is possible, if the Intelligence Community is preloading the application onto the devices in question.

- ”It was an accident.” In some ways this is the most believable and unbelievable. What are the chances that you just happen to add Jeff Goldberg to the chat?! Which leads to the final possibility…

- ”It was an accident, and not the first time.” We just heard about it this time because Goldberg was the one included. This would explain the astounding coincidence, because it changes “the one time they messed up was in front of the editor of The Atlantic” to “this time they messed up was in front of the editor of The Atlantic.”

If they did it once, what are the chances the most vocal recipient was the first example of the mistake?

I’m sure we can count on an extensive audit of the participants in these 20+ other chats……
And what do you think artists are going to do when nobody pays them? Something that does pay the bills, obviously. It really is a danger to the continuation of the arts.

And let's be honest: communist art is generally rather poor. The state, or the avant-garde of the proletariat for that matter, does not have good taste, but does tend to towards nepotism.

If you bring back goods worth more than $800 it has to be declared and a duty paid.

Judging from the changes (currently paused) to the de minimus shipping rules (also formerly $800) I’d expect the threshold to be lowered substantially. Possibly arbitrarily while I’m on a trip and have already bought the goods.

The risk being if detained by DHS for who knows how long is not worth saving $400 on a MacBook personally.
Is this actually true about Larry and Sergei? A substantial amount of their net worths is still tied up in Google stock. I realize not all centibillionaires are cut from the same cloth, but still find it hard to believe they wouldn't be majorly involved since the downside of a major stock drop would impact them disproportionately. That said they could be the types of billionaires who actually think they have enough even if their net worths were "only" in the tens of billions (a long ways to go down from where they are today).

As for headless chicken, I feel similarly, but then I sort of see a path where they have defensible businesses in YouTube and maybe GCP, and then Waymo and robotics as green field upside, so that even if they don't end up with material market share with the "software-only" side of AI, and search gets further and further eroded, they could still be a formidable player.

Ultimately I do think their best days are behind them largely because they can't seem to turn the work of their talented engineers into great new products.
They are using stalwart, another open source product, for the backend stack. So you should be able to host your own server instance with custom domain when it gets built out. Stalwart itself just received a European funding grant to build out the features needed. From Thunderbird announcement:

> Thundermail is an email service. We want to provide email accounts to those that love Thunderbird, and we believe that we are capable of providing a better service than the other providers out there, that aligns with our values. We have been experimenting with this for a while now and are using Stalwart as the software stack we are building upon. We have been working with the Stalwart maintainer to improve its capabilities (for instance, we have pushed hard on calendar and contacts being a core piece of the stack).

>how much of the effect is due to first order bias directly due to racial prejudice -- and how much of it is second order biases and miscommunications due to the inherent social tensions of a minority traffic stop in the US.

To me, this sounds like the difference between individual (your "first order") and systemic racism (your "second order'), which is pretty well studied. Some people only choose to recognize the existence of the former.
If you reduce politics to 'what politians do', sure, I avoid it too.

Even when I know that outside of the US, most of us have the same opinions on what the trump admin is doing (especially in the pen and paper RPG community, where not being transphobic is basically a requirement), I still hate comments and discussions about it, probably for the same reason than the author does.

I disagree with his axis though, I've read a lot, and I mean _a lot_ of books and the more I read, the more left I went. And I started almost tea-party libertarian, then liberal-libertarian (because logic, and my class) then I understood power and class and became original libertarian (think Emma Goldman).

But politics are much more than that, it's how society organize, and if you can't talk to everybody about your city evicting the parasites who mismanaged and eventually brought down the waterlines because you're afraid of 'groupthink', you are fucked.

I understand, and lament, that the world is so polarised these days. There's a limit to what we in this little corner of the web can do to correct such powerful global macro trends, but we'll continue to try our best.

If you see things that are unfairly flagged, you can email us and we'll look at them. As long as comments/submissions are within the guidelines, we'll restore them.

We want HN to be a place where people can discuss contentious topics. This is a major reason why I've moved into an expanded role here. I think HN has been, and can continue to be, one of the better places on the internet for discussing contentious topics.

The thing to remember is the guiding principle of HN is curiosity. This place is not meant to be for ideological battle, or for trying to win arguments. It's for conversations where we can learn from each other about things we're curious about.

I've always liked to learn about the opposing side of whatever position I hold. That's why I've found HN to be so valuable, and I want it to be a place people to come to for that reason for many years into the future.
Inheriting a strong economy beating all expectations that was just about to end its fight with inflation and burning it all away in a pump and dump crypto scheme fashion, while doing nothing (or even working to expand) unprecedented wealth inequality.

Look it's fine let it go. You think this is good because you can't imagine it happening to you or people you care about and I think it's bad because I can. People stripped of citizenship also have "no right to be here" and that's the obvious direction this is heading.

In the many years we've been discussing similar things I've never known you to change your mind on even the smallest point of any subject. I frankly just don't respect you enough to put more energy into this conversation.
This sounds great for large and corporate servers, but a pain for small self-hosted ones. More configuration and external dependencies. Plus additional confusion for non-techy users on those smaller servers.
Walmart is a drain on communities anyways, aren't their employees on food stamps at some ridiculously high rate?
This is a point that I absolutely don't like with .Net projects. Not that it has to be this way as dot-env files can be used as well as environment variables in general. It's just the App.json/Web.config files and transforms are typical, including production environments. Even if it's a private repository with restricted access it feels wrong.

That said, I know they don't have to be this way, just a huge niggle IMO.
