So, the Henneicke Column returns…
Terr_•10m ago
TIL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henneicke_Column

> a group of Dutch Nazi collaborators [...] in Amsterdam, during the Nazi Germany occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. [...] The bounty paid to Henneicke Column members for each captured Jew was 7.50 guilders (equivalent to about US $4.75).

For the curious, adjusting for inflation that's ~$91, insofar as they may have had a profit motive, I wonder if they supplemental that by looting.

These people are deported out of the country and not slowly murdered in a concentration camp, which is a massive difference.
visioninmyblood•40m ago
Wow that is crazy may be YC next funded company will be on this. But there are so many ethical considereations here. Tracking immigrant means they will track citizens as well. We need to see how these companies are moderated
throwawaygmbno•37m ago
If we make it to another election, it will be good to track the people who take up this offer
tecleandor•12m ago
You mean, the ethical considerations are about tracking citizens only?

Along with the "both sides!!" and the "we're just enforcing immigration law" commenters showing up.

i dont see why, hacker news is loaded with enthusiastic young entrepreneurs and I posted this thinking some brilliant protege of Peter Thiel would be inspired to "disrupt" the "surveilling and abducting people" industry with the promise of a $280M reward....

America is a third world thug state where people are being targeted just because...they showed up on a computer system.

It seems like tracking down 10M+ people would cost more than $280M.
actionfromafar•23m ago
"in favor of a no-cap program" combined with coming huge budget increases will adress that I'm sure.

Hunting people for commission is back in vogue. Now flag this article, it's about the intersection of society and technology.

> Contractors may now earn up to $281.25 million individually and are guaranteed an initial task order worth at least $7.5 million.

The rates are per contractor.

throwaway1389z•19m ago
This whole program is a variation of "The Process is the punishment". Regardless of what your opinion of immigration is, this is all just politicking and power-grabbing. Under that light, you will see that it is M$280 for fear mongering more than actual deportation efforts.
actionfromafar•11m ago
Not just! This will create a whole concentration camp construction industry downstream of the arrests.

The logistics are just impossible unless you build massive camps.

There's even a bounty to report your neighbors.

I wonder what position Apple will take on this. You can't trace ICE agents (IceBlock app)

But will ICE be able to track immigrants using whatever Apps are created here?

Scary times we live in. Stay safe everyone.

Too often on this site you see the opinion "keep politics out of it" expressed.

But there are going to be software engineers working at these surveillance and tracking firms, probably some on this site.

Just like there are people here getting paid to work on Facebook or Instagram despite knowing deep down (even if they're in denial) that those products are profoundly harmful to society at large and young people in particular.

Technology is only becoming more intertwined with daily life, not less. When does the software industry develop scruples?

surgical_fire•6m ago
I hate this stance.

Demand scruples from the common man while the billionaire overlords who are actually the major beneficiaries are off the hook.

There was an article a few weeks ago (regarding artists) that today the concept of someone being a sellout doesn't exist anymore.

People lack a spine these days it seems.

I am reminded of Eisenhower's Chance for Peace Speech: "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Eisenhower launched Operation Wetback, so you can tell what he actually thought about this.

Yeah, people aren't cartoon super heroes or super villains. People are messy. People are nuanced. You can't summarize them in a 1,000 word article much less a 10 word title.

This an excellent example of a program that'll print money for fraudsters while also supporting a policy with arbitrary and cruel quotas.

Oh how far we've wandered from that old promise of "small government".
