Is there any information on why the creators feel able to claim that their AI 'eliminates bias'? Seems like an incredibly bold (and almost certainly incorrect) claim.

Is it really 'political' if it's based on published figures? It's an informational tool, not a political view.

A little tool to illustrate changes to income tax under a Labour government in the UK. Obviously income tax isn't the full picture for a party's taxation plans, but as one of the 'big factors' for individuals, I think it

Lovely visualisation, but this doesn't reflect the direction of travel properly. Spending occurs before taxation. Taxation balances the books - not the other way around.

The risk here is the politicisation of the data. There is no reason whatsoever for the PM's office, his advisors, or anybody in any political party to receive detailed information - anonymised or otherwise - about government services

Google and Facebook both started life as tech companies. Virgin started life as a one-man job hawking records out of a wheelbarrow. Virgin is not a tech company. Their model is not centered around technology, but content.

Virgin Media is profit-first, above all else. It's an error to assume that the part of the company that builds out infrastructure is in any way joined up with the part of the company that keeps customers secure (if indeed, they even ha

The clear vendetta against Assange, his colleagues (either direct or indirect), Wikileaks and publishers in general is a clear and present danger to the rule of law across the Western world. Journalists, activists, publishers and security r

Maybe I'm just too set in my ways - but nothing in this article looks like a solution to anything remotely relevant to most software development. Difficulty in updating software isn't a new problem - but we already have much, much

If the functionality of your home depends on a privately owned, 3rd-party server, then I'd say it very much highlights the potential risks of IoT devices / applications.

Treat everything you read as an opinion unless it actually provides raw evidence / data. The mainstream media across the Western world at least is a total sham.

I think you're overestimating the number of people who are vegan for health reasons. People who are health conscious don't choose burgers - whether they're vegan or not, and most vegans who choose burgers are looking for tast

1) As the article suggests - in order to believe the US story, we have to simultaneously believe that the Russians are the most incompetent actors imaginable. Read the article - take it up with the author if you, for some reason, still beli

Why would 'health' be a contributing factor for sales of vegan burgers but not non-vegan burgers?

I'm not sure what post you're reading - but every single one of the arguments in the post contradict a pivotal 'fact' in the anti-Russian, xenophobic propaganda effort. Can you be more specific with your criticism?

There's no evidence. There's a handful of (allegedly) Russian facebook posts / members, and then spurious, inconsequential allegations about specific individuals. The special counsel is an obvious stitch up which has achieved

My original comment was clearly anecdotal, which is not the same thing as being '100% feels'.

> Okay, I misunderstood, your message seemed to imply Russia doesn't try to spread propaganda online. I don't really see how anything I said could be construed that way, but ok :P Sure you're a not a fed yourself? :P &#x2
