> Yes, but those structural priors have nothing to do with race, gender, or any other protected attribute. This seems like wishful thinking. If fed a data set containing 'race' or 'gender' as one of the fields, most m

I don't see how that follows. Surely you could select hyper-parameters that cause a model to perform differently across different races, ethnicities, etc. Like, shouldn't you be able to get a model to perform poorly for minority g

It turns out we actually have laws that answer that question: you cannot determine the loan rate based on protected characteristics. In fact, that's what "protected" means in this context. Laundering the bias through an algor

Sure you shouldn't go out of your way to violate the suggestions on the list, but you also shouldn't be afraid to publish a project just because you haven't meticulously gone through it and checked off every item

Yeah. In fact, the poorest have a negative net worth due to owing more on debts than they hold in assets so inflation makes them wealthier

But it would be false advertising if Ford said you could buy a truck for $5k, but told you they actually cost $25k when you showed up to buy it

Looking at their website, Auger seems to be unregulated gambling? Some people might want that, but it doesn't really strike me as a killer app commensurate with the hype around cryptocurrency

Sure. In the Rust ecosystem, if you submit a pull request to a library it is very common for the maintainer to release a new version soon after. Even patches to the Rust compiler repository are released to stable in a matter of a few months

Won't that fail terribly if the text has been re-flowed?

Sometimes it is more a matter of getting most of the work done, without it mattering if some gets missed. Ignoring all reported bugs might be unsustainable because eventually all your customers would get fed up and leave, but it is unlikely

In other settings I can add a new feature to one of my dependencies and start using it within days or weeks. You're telling me you prefer having to wait years to get any newly implemented feature?

Taxpayers want to avoid dying and these corporations want to sell them a vaccine to achieve that. Seems like a nearly perfect alignment of interests to me

That's a big if. For jobs like being an Uber driver, the consensus seems to be that you get less money.

This problem is vastly overstated. The real issue is that there simply aren't enough homes being built for all the people who want to live in desirable cities

Those are arguments that Mozilla should find a different CEO, not that paying a lower salary to their CEO would improve outcomes. The part I don't get is way people are so viscerally appalled by Mozilla allocating a fairly normal level

> It doesn't actually strike me as 'reasonable rate' [...] I (and many others) could get the same results for a mere $700k/year. Surely, you can see the flaw in this logic though? If you set the salary too low, then o

I never understood why people were so upset at Mozilla's CEO earning a couple million per year in salary. Seems like a rather reasonable rate for running a medium size company that doesn't give out stock options/RCUs

Yes, Stallman indicated that he thought raping an under-aged trafficked sex slave wasn't grounds to consider someone a guilty party. That doesn't strike you as the kind of thing that would be received poorly? These aren't the
