Judging by the time card, I would bet multiple individuals are using this account. And they're probably getting paid to do it.

When exactly are people going to see that this isn't stopping with the Daily Stormer?

All those tech companies that spent years virtue signaling about a free and open web LIED.

Because many people on Hacker News think that caring about what women say is the same as bringing interesting and thoughts provoking topics.

And when pointing out that such content is not worthy, as per the site guidelines, people will at best ignore the policy, at worse say you're a sexist.

"after all the point of H-1B was never to get CHEAP labour, it was to get GOOD labour"

I find that to be naive. It's not because a politician says that something is for X that it's really for X.

Especially considering that if for some reason good labor was rare and in demand, it would mean higher wages for this good labor.

Follow the money...

"(...) then at the end of the term there should be a "job interview"-like process where it is determined if this person has brought enough value."

Why do you want to add citizenship to the deal? If the salary alone is not a good enough incentive, perhaps it needs to be higher. Otherwise you're just selling citizenship in exchange for lower wages.

Which one is closest to the original design?

> I grew up in a very privileged white world, with an attitude that I could always talk to the police because they were never interested in me. I felt that there would be unlikely to be an outcome where I got in any real trouble even if I had been breaking the law in some childish but “not actually bad” kind of way. Doing some dumb stunt or smoking a little weed - “nothing serious”.

What you describe as the "very privileged white world" sounds exactly how the citizen/police interactions ought to be.

It is a fragile balance that has been built and maintained by your society. The way you describe such as legacy is problematic, as people often see 'privilege' as something 'unfair', something to distance ourselves from. And by saying that the correct citizen/police interactions are a privilege, you push for everyone to average down, rather than make a better world for everyone.

You should instead focus on making sure everyone has the best chance of having a decent civil society. The best start is by using your everyday language as a way to anchor the correct interaction as the goal, not something to be avoided.

Ex:

"Last Friday night two officers brought me to my parents. I was a little too 'agitated'. It scared the shit out of me, but they let me go with a warning. I tell you man, I'm happy to have such friendly officers in my city." (<--- anchor it as a goal)

"My friend from a different place got in trouble with the police last week. It looks like it's a pattern. Hopefully we'll find what is causing this friction soon and stop this shit." (<--- point out it's an unwanted consequence and that something has to change.)
