hot news: January 2021

“The NAACP is very encouraged by the executive actions taken by President Biden today. It is refreshing to finally hear a President acknowledge white supremacy in their inaugural speech, and follow that with concrete actions less than a week later. President Biden’s whole-of-government approach for racial equity, embedded within the Domestic Policy Council lead by Susan Rice, is a very good first step. However, Executive Orders are only as strong as the current President and can be reversed by future administrations. So we must continue to urge Congress to pass laws that ensure racial equity for all people in this country and codify it to prevent future Presidents from reversing these critical measures. We look forward to working with the Biden-Harris administration as we continue to address the systemic racism that has plagued our communities for centuries.”

New post from the NAACP: NAACP President and CEO Releases Statement in Support of D.C. Statehood by Marc Banks

NAACP President and CEO, Derrick Johnson, released the following statement in support of D.C. Statehood:

“For over two centuries, Washington D.C.’s lack of statehood has been rooted in white supremacy. When Black men gained the right to vote in 1867, Congress replaced the local, elected government with three white men commissioners. Since then, opposition to statehood has been driven by false dog-whistle arguments on the city’s ability to manage its own affairs.”

“Earlier this month, white supremacists holding Confederate flags and wearing Nazi slogans were left to roam free in our nation’s capital without protection for the majority of Washingtonians who are Black and Brown, all because D.C. is not a state.”

“It’s time for Biden administration to work with Congress to prioritize making D.C. a state and end the oppression of Washingtonians of color. We applaud the introduction of a statehood bill in the Senate as a major step in that direction.”

15 by mholt | 7 comments on Hacker News.
I'm bored/disappointed with all the major tech companies, including Google/Alphabet, Apple, Facebook, Intel, Twitter, Zoom, Slack, Amazon, Microsoft, pretty much all the unicorns that come out of Silicon Slopes, and several more. Innovation largely seems to have stopped. Products and services shut down. Walls put up. Costs inflated. Privacy deflated. Overall lower user experience and satisfaction. It's pretty discouraging. So tell me, what companies are you excited about and why? Who's actually making a positive difference and changing the world for good these days? * Non-profits count too. * Yes there are some exceptions (e.g. Apple's M1 chip; Google's Go language continues to get better) but on the whole these advances seem minor considering the companies' nearly infinite size and resources.
