You're stereotyping. There was a time when we agreed it was wrong to do.

The intentions are there, but if you only look for the good in people you will be taken advantage of and swallowed by grifters. Some who are driven by selfishness, some who are driven by lust for disruption and/or destruction. The gene

This seems to be a pattern in society that has been spreading for a while. Most of our institutions were designed for some proportion of good faith participation. We've totally lost that, with the various hard and soft cheats in academ

That's the fundamental problem. We are ruling out possible results in advance, based on arbitrary social conventions, not data. This is fundamentally unscientific and will lead to stagnation at best, regression at worst, and progress o

Crime is a function of far more than just income inequality. If you perform your regressions on this single variable and then attempt to extrapolate those results to make policy, you're going to end up spending a lot of money without s

Only one answer is socially acceptable, regardless of what statistics indicate. And we are building a dangerous world by going down this unscientific path. I am genuinely concerned that this will bleed into ML science and we may find oursel

I had been paranoid about this for some time, thanks for confirming. It is so trivially easy to decipher a person's life from their location data, especially with some simple ML. The fact that it's so easy ensures in my mind that

You're completely missing my point. And the purpose of my hypothetical. So let me try it with your example: >The problem was that it mis-classified entire dialects of English (meaning it completely failed at determining sentiment fo

Let's just consider an example; where do you draw the line in the following list? To avoid sending travelers through unsafe areas: 1. Google's routing algorithm is conditioned on demographics 2. Google's routing algorithm is

This personally identifying data is forever one forced update away from abuse. The fact that it's "normal" to take such a risk for such a minor convenience does not mean that it's a good idea. But I recognize that not ev

So you can't grow potatoes vertically? Can you elaborate? Is it a function of physiology, i.e. calorie dense vegetables need far more leaves and supporting stems than can be practically stacked vertically?

Yeah, and my personal data never left Equifax's servers either. You can't change your biometrics when they are inevitably hacked. If you even find out.

No way this biometric data could possibly be abused, right? I'll stick to taping over my cameras, thanks.

I don't think that's quite right. I believe that humans are essentially born as blank neural networks; it's the structure, and the graph of connections between brain structures and sensory inputs, that is effectively primed f

If these claims of censorship were true, where would you expect to find a citation? If I linked you threads of people like Tariq Nashad calling for racial violence against whites, my post would likely be flagged and I'd be banned for p

So if I want to push myself in pursuit of my dreams, I need to sandbag because working hard sets bad precedent for others? Edit: why is this flagged? Is it not a valid point? If you claim that there is a problem in tech because men are stoi

Probabilistically speaking, this isn't really surprising given the number of locales, the number of reports, and the fact that there are only 1000 combinations of digits between 0 and 1000.

The dichotomy is seems to be reflected in the growing divide between rational, scientific inquiry, and modern progressive liberal arts which are rooted in critical theory.

At this point reddit is arguably a social danger, in that it is made to look like organic content, while in truth everything is heavily censored and opinions are implicitly and explicitly approved in an absolute top down manner. Opaque vote

This post is at odds with the fact that the military teaches stricter rules of engagement than police forces. There may be a culture problem in the force but this post is hysteria. Police deal with violent criminals who have no regard for p
