I would think more people on HN would understand the importance of data. Its pretty hard to change something that you aren't tracking.
Perhaps Europe would benefit from more data in this regard?
- mikrotikker 4y agoIt just seems like a horrible practice to me because the fact that 1930s Germany tracked Jewish people and allowed them to kill so many. If we could guarantee that another genocidal dictator won't come to power then I might be OK with it. Couple that tracking with the surveillance and one might be able to ensure few slip through the cracks.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoI'm not sure what you're trying to say here. You want to change race, that's why you track it? Or you want to change how racial "groups" vote? The logic makes sense in some contexts, but not all, and not the one I was referring to anyway.
- jjeaff 4y agoNo, you want to change descrimination. You have to have metrics related to descrimination if you are going to develop policy to change it.
