The article has an appropriate amount of technical and political discussion. The words “she is right” are simply not in this community’s vocabulary.

  What sort of critique are you trying to make of "this community?" Are the words "he is right" in our vocabulary?

      Are people really making new accounts on the spot here to comment in these kinds of threads to avoid having disagreeable ideas traced back to their main accounts?

        In an age when people doxx you and call your employer to ask them to fire you because you upset their delicate sensibilities, it is somewhat understandable to be paranoid.

          Hrm, I guess I hadn't considered that.

    I agree this is a double standard - maybe we as educated people in this forum can move past arguing gender semantics in 2019? Can't wait for someone to try and guess my gender through HN... Maybe we should add a HN eula that states users must assume all other users are of a non-binary gender identity...

      Can HN please add a "GMG" or "GMSO" category? I'll leave it to other HN users to decipher what that acronym might stand for...

  The article portrays the issue "whether or not ML models can be racially biased" as inherently conservative based on a sample of 1. This isn't even a very interesting question to the HN community, since we largely know that this is a resolved issue; the more interesting conversation would be about what we should do about it (as opposed to whether or not a particular tribe was wrong about an issue, which is what the article was designed to incite, by all appearances).
