>Care to explain how a gradient is racist? Sure. Your comment's language equivalent is something along the lines of "Care to explain how words are racist?" Which yes, they are just a collection of words. They possess no co

Your entire comment is correct, but still missing the bigger picture. It's understood that it's way easier to detect features in pictures of white faces than black faces due to the fact that it's easier to resolve lines and s

Insensitive to anyone who has a moderate amount of understanding of machine learning and social empathy. You can't plug your ears and say "it's just your training set" as a response to unfairness in ML algorithms. Real l

I'm pretty sure "master" in git refers to "gold master", which is the version of software that is released to manufacturing. I've never heard of a slave branch.

Also Houston resident. That whole thing was ridiculous. The problem goes back many years. Municipal and Police blew up the pension budget to something unsustainable through a variety of tactics, and firefighters got nowhere near the amount

No, but that's because I've worked on a team that has crafted these statements before (and then we emailed them out as the CEO). Our statements would get passed around in a Google doc to about 5 different people who would distill

But does it run a mainline Linux kernel? I hate how a lot of Hardkernel’s stuff needs custom patches.

A couple of things, it’s quicker and requires less knowledge to apply, less damage to vehicles, and you don’t need a parking officer to come out to remove it; they just dial it in and it pops off, and the barnacled person drops it in a drop

Yeah, at a really low CPM. Not trying to justify the awful practice of user tracking, but why would I pay you $3.00 per thousand impressions if you’re going to be showing my ad to demographics that will rarely buy my product? Companies want

Quantum advantage and quantum supremacy are already defined terms and mean two separate things. If they want to push for this then they’ll need to invent a new term.

Sure, but I don’t think this publication was thinking about that. Call me jaded, but I feel like they were more thinking “hey can we call him a kid to get more page impressions?”

Women naturally bear higher risk from a one night stand. Pregnancy isn’t easy on the body at all. And that’s just the physical aspect of it. It’s not surprising that there’s a little aversion to one night stands.

I think part of the problem is that (in my experience) open offices actually do boost productivity somewhat, but only when the office is a small 2-5 person pod. I lose productivity when I get dropped in a huge floor of people chatting and t

Am I missing something? It looks like a generic procurement /federal contractor company entered the contract, and not Chef. That’s like ICE buying Cisco switches from a 3rd party and getting mad at Cisco isn’t it?

As someone who’s been on the receiving end of such edicts, and also tangential to people giving such edicts, my personal opinion is that it’s about posturing. Telling your superiors “I’ve had my team working round the clock” conveys more se

I completely agree, and a major growth segment of electronics and appliances has been “pro-sumer” style devices. These are basically the same as their regular consumer devices but either more commercial features and management, or easier su

Yes but refrigerators back then were around $2-3000 in modern currency (for a no frills ice box). You can get a cheap fridge now for like $90 (mini fridge). Much of our modern lifestyle was created by accessibility of home appliances like w

What do you mean by "minorities"? Do you mean "non-white" people? If so, then sure, but most of eastern Europe is fairly homogeneous in terms of skin color. I take argument, and actually some offense to your comment beca
