No one considers that perhaps ever-increasing inequality in the Bay Area has also increased both the incentive to commit crime and the disincentive to prosecute it. It would stand to reason that the people who are desperate would be more de

Not to downplay the seriousness of theft, but there's something to be said about the scale. A few people working in an uncoordinated fashion is a crime problem; a structured group essentially working in symbiosis with a retailer's

Throwing money at the problem is exactly what rich people do with their problems and it seems to work out fine for them.

Well, this gets to the heart of one of the issues with the current approach to AI. Statistical consensus doesn't always align with a user's personal view or desires. I don't know how you solve the problem; my issue is that Go

If natural law is a form of genetic determinism, as you suggest, genetic variation and diversity would lead to not one singular set of natural laws, but a spectrum of them. Collectively-held rights cannot be derived directly from this broad

He's suggesting that it's his right to do so. That's what is meant by his referring to action outside the law. It's the natural conclusion to such action, because for the people being evicted, the loss of shelter can be

The answer has always been investment, but of course what is far more important is eking out that last 20 points for Bradyn's SAT score.

"Identity theft", likewise, is an attempt to put the onus - and blame - on consumers for the failure of corporations to protect personal information and combat fraud. We should be generally wary of corporate "Do your part!&qu

Druggie squatters and shiftless cops? It sounds like your area has a cultural issue that you might want to work with neighbors and community officials to rectify.

One of the okupa they interviewed says that they purposely target corporate-owned, vacant properties. Slippery slope, sure, but kicking people out of homes they live in doesn't seem to be the goal as of yet.

I find this hard to believe. If they are drug users, for better or worse, you can have them arrested for possessing/making drugs.

I think my point was that the insistence on interface purity is part of what (or emblematic of the ethos that) killed the chance of the protocol reaching mainstream adoption. But I take your point.

Me being far too confident in Samsung's spellcheck, is what. It's too late to edit but you get the gist: nerd stuff must don user-friendly garb for to not scare the customers. UX.

It's give and take. Everyone knowing your problems can make you a target for persecution, but it also makes it more difficult for you to get involved in things that your community disapproves of (again, sometimes this is bad, but somet

Why would anyone care to fix things? The way they are are perfectly amenable to the blame- and conclusion-laundering many ML clients seek.

Race is a socially-constructed attribute, not a biological one. To purport to be able to base medical diagnoses on race is already an issue, and already causes much suffering. Specifically, diagnoses are missed when doctors believe that p

You're misunderstanding the article. It's talking about a situation where an AI model replicated the unscientific classification of people by race. That means that, far from uncovering race-correlated health issues, it could perpe

Thank you. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It's not just a perception that American cars of the last few decades tend to have more maintenance issues and therefore tend to end up totaled earlier; it's, like, the truth.
