Jesus H. Christ. Are we now trying to make our racism sound acceptable by sprinkling it with scientific concepts like Bayesian thinking?

Awesome video. So much great content is so easily accessible today. The challenge is discovery! Grateful HN is a quality “feed” - way better than all the algorithmic feeds.. If something as curated as HN existed & appealed to the masses - even if it was ad funded! - we could live in a different world.

Did you lose faith in humanity gradually or all at once? :P

I love this one. Relevant today. Divisive nonsense belongs in the garbage.

Same as divorce, or bankruptcy.

Gradually, then all at once.

I didn't watch this yet but am going to be curious to hear how to not be divided about "we now have masked agents roaming the streets kidnapping people in broad daylight. In the United States.", when some clearly think there are reasons this isn't a problem (or not worth paying attention to).

By talking to those apathetic and talking to those that think this isn't a problem. There is a war for your mind.

The people who need to watch this are precisely the ones on HN, because we have outsized money and power. Keep in mind it was the tech elite that helped elect Trump. Some of them are here and will see this. Lets see how long until this post is flagged...

The "tech elite" making actual decisions are not reading and commenting on HN. A startup CTO or a Amazon Director is not part of the "elite."

It is fair to assume that some suckers are reading though.

ICE actively targets and arrests people who are legally staying in the US as well, detaining them for weeks without due process.
