Not sure I buy the man woman thing. But if you look at my earlier comments you’ll see that my question is that, if the software is just really effective at the rate they are marketing it with white males, regardless of reason - then there’s bias in what they consider a viable product. They obviously don’t care.

The failure of facial recognition with black faces isn’t new, or isolated to a specific product - it’s industry-wide, and this isn’t the first time someone wrote an article about it. I think there’s a difference between their internal testing, and their publicized “tests” they use to market. They can probably explain…

The problem is that if you have a piece of software that significantly underperforms with a segment of the population and then pass it off as 90% accurate but only if you use the subset of the population that it tested well on - it’s not good software.

Fair enough. I just think sometimes people have a weird perspective on what money is being made where and what actually shows up on a balance sheet. I think part of the reason we are in the situation we are in, is because we are constantly excusing corporations because they point to their balance sheets with tears in…

Revenue and cost of doing business are two different things.

I waited until I was 36 to get mine out. They were impacted and I started getting terrible headaches. Get them out earlier. It sucks way less. 

I’m not sure I understand your comment. But some things to think about.

The Subaru partnership is probably part of the reason they didn’t turbo it. And although I agree that 200 hp is plenty in a 2700 lb car the torque kind of sucks. Normally you would solve this by keeping it in the revs but with that nasty dip in the fat part of the torque curve kind of kills that also. Blah blah…

Not to mention the pain of deciding which “Unlimited” plan to get. The regular “Unlimited”? The “More Unlimited”? One might ask, how can you beat “Unlimited?” Is this like when we were kids and “timesing” infinity TIMES infinity? Clearly it’s more than my tiny working-class brain can handle. The job creators just know…

Hot take. Way to oversimplify a complex issue into a binary one where everything you agree with is capitalism and everything else is essentially socialism.

For the one child whose parent can’t be found, I sincerely hope he/she gets some measure of justice, who knows where the child would be or how they would be if they had never been separated in the first place. This is some real bullshit.

I’m pretty tired of Singer. “Hey look what rich people can do with a lot of money!” Doesn’t really inspire me from a Jalop perspective.

So she was coached to publicly align with one thing? Hot take. She’s seemed fairly ambivalent on a number of things. It isn’t that she never publicly speaks out in support of her husband, and there isn’t a reason to excuse her, but other First Ladies have had clear agendas aligned with administration policy and were…

It’s just that in recent history, for all their faults, the First Lady has been an educated and politically active woman that is probably a cut above your average person in a lot of ways - regardless of party, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama had first class educations and the minds to match. Melania Trump, whatever…

The centrist appeal failed pretty emphatically in 2016. What’s really odd to me, is that the ideals that FDR, and the greatest generation pretty much established within the Democratic party, now seems extreme left. To me it isn’t that the Dems are shifting left, it’s that everyone has shifted right.

“Socialism” has a pretty broad definition nowadays. The fact that the federal government has money and does things doesn’t make us socialist. There’s a pretty wide chasm between community development, social responsibility, and infrastructure development and actual socialism.

I think you’ll find that it’s Porsche fans rather than owners who feel strongest about keeping a car original. Part of it honestly is because a bunch of people put a ton of miles in their cars. One of the dudes at the pelican forum that’s an avid diyer just rebuilt his engine at 230k miles. It’s now better than new.  A…

Having an immigration policy isn’t racist. But the entire dialogue about how immigration is something that needs to be urgently constrained and regulated because “economy and “welfare” and “crime” is a red fucking herring absolutely rooted in racism. The people that come across the border aren’t circumventing shit.…

It’s almost as if these were ads, and someone were paying Gizmodo to show them.

What the fuck? Get back on your meds bro.
