- DanAndersen 12y agoWithout trying to be too critical, it's strange hearing the term "algorithm" get a lot of use nowadays. Example: this BBC article fom 2011 about "When algorithms control the world", with phrases like http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-14306146 http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-14306146 I suppose it's the natural evolution after "programs" and "apps" became mundane things and data science became more prominent, but the way these articles talk about them with no detail makes me think that they might as well describe algorithms as some mysterious fairy-like substance that causes magical things to happen.
