Heh, railed. Good on DHH for using his platform and bringing light to an issue like this.

- ryandrake 7y agoWent to the article to find all the other evidence, and no it pretty much boils down to your single quote. Some guy is not happy with his wife’s credit limit and went on a tweet-rant accusing sexism. No idea how credit limits are calculated but maybe his credit limit is higher not because he’s a man but because he’s an entrepreneur?
- felideon 7y agoSure. Someone on Twitter pointed out that GS is accustomed to catering to business accounts. (The article here also says it is GS' first credit card.) They, and presumably Apple moreso, should have considered this before using the biased algorithm for their first consumer credit card. They should have analyzed -who- would be affected by it.

- FDSGSG 7y ago> should have considered this before using the biased algorithm for their first consumer credit card Why would such bias be bad when assigning a credit limit? Are you suggesting that this just isn't related to creditworthiness?
