- rjknight 13y agoWho? The original article was written by someone who clearly identifies as "he" - Lee Carp is one of the two cofounders of BayesianWitch. He graduated from the University of Chicago...
- kcorbitt 13y agoThe byline must have been changed sometime in the last 20 minutes. It was a woman before.
- aestra 13y agoThat's bizarre, when I first looked at it, I skimmed it and at the end there was a picture of who I presumed was the author who was a male with red framed glasses which is now missing.
- rejschaap 13y agoI guess you guys missed the part about "Black Muslim Lesbian Transsexual", and the part that says it is not relevant.

- aestra 13y agoNo I didn't, especially as a minority myself. I was commenting at the fact that it was strange that the post was rapidly changing.
- ben336 13y agoStill see that.
- michaelt 13y agoThere is what looks like A-B testing code built into the page (but now configged off) - you can still see it in action in Google's cache of the blog posts or if you view source. Option A: photoa.jpg Lee Carp is one of the two cofounders of BayesianWitch. He graduated from the University of Chicago with an AB in Sociology - specializing in understanding how technology shapes culture. He is fascinated by how marketing, technology and data intersect. He likes to swim and bake in his spare time. http://www.bayesianwitch.com/media/img/photob.jpg http://www.bayesianwitch.com/media/img/photob.jpg Option B: photob.jpg Shana Carp is the two cofounders of BayesianWitch. She graduated from the University of Chicago with an AB in Visual Art - specializing in understanding how technology shapes culture. She is fascinated by how marketing, technology and data intersect. She likes to swim and bake in her spare time. http://www.bayesianwitch.com/media/img/photob.jpg http://www.bayesianwitch.com/media/img/photob.jpg However, the domain is registered to Chris Stucchio, the HTTP metadata shows the S3 account name stucchio, the user making this HN post links to Chris Stucchio's weblog, and in that blog he isn't averse to spicing things up with an occasional picture of a scantily clad lady [1] Whether bayesianwitch is a company with one, two, three or more employees we can only speculate!

- VexXtreme 13y agoWe're being trolled.
- speeder 13y agoI saw a woman as author
- ktsmith 13y agoWhen I first loaded it (just a minute ago) a woman was pictured. On reload and since it's a man.
