The real surprise here is that there is anyone left who thinks that RT scores aren't basically paid marketing for whatever film is in question, and are real organic reviews. Especially with the recent virtue signaling olympics that mov

Austin is already on the path of SV. Perhaps you can keep Austin a containment zone for SF outcasts and the rest of Texas will be left alone. City folk usually aren't fond of sprawling rural areas, so you have that going for you.

I think the problem is that you're looking at "bias" as a dirty word. > If the real world is biased it can then itself be biased. And if said algorithm corroborates that bias, then is reality somehow "bad" as a r

Surprised at the downvotes you're getting. That's the first time I've ever seen that jacobitemag article and it was a very interesting read.

In this case, you seem to be implying garbage in/ garbage out. My point is that when you get a good input dataset and there is still some sort of bias in the output, you have to start asking questions on why the results are biased towa

It is impossible for an algorithm to "illegally" discriminate, as it's a machine devoid of the human concept of "intent"; It doesn't know what "race" even means. So this narrows to these basic outcome

It's certainly easier to just include JQ on an existing site and get to work for simple stuff, but I just deal with Angular now. Easy enough to get up and running with ngcli, and a year down the road the codebase won't look like t

I can't wait to be a hipster ICE collector. Electric vehicles just feel and sound like shit. Auto racing is dead, for example, if we move to all electric. No more rib rattling exhaust, the wonderful smell of 2 stroke exhaust burping ou

How far we've come that citing common statistics counts as dropping red pills. I don't have high hopes for how we look back on this period a few years into the future. Many people with their head stuck in the sand.

We're around, we just keep it under wraps. HN has a hard liberal slant. There are a lot of bleeding hearts in SV, so not much of a point to bring political views into tech discussions. I try to avoid any "technical" convos on

Similar idea, but the Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury touched on this heavily. Although it was humans and humanoid martians instead of microbial life.

You can actually use a credit card if you have (I think) a trust. I was watching a podcast a while back on some guys about securing baggage, it also may have been a gunnit podcast where one of the guys did this, and he registered his credit

Probably not a PSS. I can nearly guarantee it would be a Makarov, and only special forces have ever been issued Grachs. KGB is synonymous with the Makarov and to a lesser extent the Tokarev.

That was one house out of at least 4 that are abandoned on that street alone. Just clicking around on streetview shows you some pretty dismal images in the area.

Khyber Pass guns are even a different class than Chinese knockoffs. The Chinese actually have QC'd factories for pushing out pretty damn good AK's. Norinco is a well known Chinese AK manufacturer.
