The difficulty in distinguishing the two is likely intentional. At my previous org, Oracle sent a spreadsheet of IPs to my company's compliance department which they claimed were using the extension pack and so violated their license agreement. They demanded proof of the license.

That would not surprise me. Back when we were considering virtualisers many years ago, the issue was one of the reasons² I recommended against vbox despite using it at home - it felt a bit too dark-patterny¹ for my tastes. We went with a VMWare tool instead.
[1] though I'm not sure the term “dark pattern” had been coined, or if it had it was in my vocab, at that point
[2] another being Oracles general behaviour at the time - this was after their purchase of Sun and therefore Virtual Box.
Except that the price has risen. Easily procurable sand (typically from river beds) is being depleted, and no the desert sand isn't any good for construction.
Pretty lousy argument. Firstly, the majority of inmates in the US are white (58%). I'd assume mug shot stats are similar, or at the very least not mostly black people.
Moreover, if a algorithm enforces bias to the detriment of inoccents, it's a bad algorithm

I agree with this 100%. But they haven't provided enough information about their dataset to make this conclusion. If they provided enough information for someone to independently analyze the data and reproduce the experiment, I would flip immediately.

Personally, I would assume the mugshots are a random sample of a public corpus, and thus likely 35-40% people of color. Which is definitely skewed from the background population. I'm assuming the similarity of 40% is a coincidence.

Is it? It sounds like it might be working exactly as it was set up and specified to work. I would call that the fault of the designers and specifiers, rather than the algorithm. It's a good algorithm. It fits its purpose well. Its purposes just happen to be completely evil.
You're totally ignoring or forgetting context. Which is that the green book exists because of the Jim Crow laws at the time, along with the general racism.
It's not remotely racist to stay away from white businesses when there is a certain possibility of service refusal, and a possibility that you might be assulted and killed. Hence the necessity of this book.
To say that his family was racist for not trusting white people with the books info, is to be totally ignorant (Tulsa is one example).
You have an extremely weird idea of racism that is not grounded in reality.
How did you populate this map? I looked at the Transnational Radio Encounters dataset and didn't find a list of stations, let alone a link to their stream.
The only way I can see that someone can't understand why some people support Trump is because they have not made an attempt to understand the other side's positions. I agree with close to none of Trump's positions and abhor the man, but it is simply smug to dismiss his supporters (credit to Sam for not dismissing them as dumb).
1) Anti-Free trade. Bernie and Trump both were very popular with working class individuals who are out of work. Trade deals have definitely caused job loss for many workers. Many anti-NAFTA people blame it on causing the immigration from Mexico
2) Anti-Immigration. Job loss and racial identity are both at play here. Lack of homogeny in the country. Too much diversity etc.
3) Disgust with career politicians. They like how brash he is.
4) Lower taxes
etc.
FWIW, this is exactly the kind of post that shouldn't be on hacker news.
I am sure you are correct on those points. But I feel that something deeper is at play. American society has an excess of complexity that people are unwilling or unable to deal with. There is a desire for simplicity that is sated by Trump.
The more comfortable you are with complexity in society the less you need Trump.
