But we don't talk and act on a loan application. We're discussing an AI making a decision based on features related to loan default probabilities; don't change the scope of the discussion. If the AI isn't told about race, it can't be racist.
debate is about whether race is a valid grounds on which to judge someone.
Isn't that exactly the point? If the AI isn't told about race, but still recommends "racist" outcomes, there's more going on than the race of the person. The AI isn't being racist, the race of the candidate is being ignored; the person is only being judged on valid grounds.
I somehow suspect that Windows won't exactly give me the option to say 'no' to this update.
I believe to get it you first have to log into an account with administrative perms so you can be prompted about something. So if you stick to a standard user account m you'll never be upgraded.
This actually makes sense. So many jobs have been saved that not as many people need to find new ones.
Umm, you could have lots of people looking for a job, with no new jobs being added. One of the factors as to why the expectations are what they were, is due to unemployed people entering the job market. So now those people have entered the job market, only to find that less jobs were created.
I'm just saying, he sure doesn't seem to be a man of his word.
That's something that Trump has never been accused of. His campaign speeches would drive me nuts, because he'd regularly take both sides to every argument.
the rebels (in order to provoke a reaction from the US).
You realize that sort of thing doesn't happen in real life. A lot of people are kind of surprised by Trumps 180. The bombing is nothing that hasn't happened before, and plenty of bad things have been happening in Syria for a few years now.
And it's not like the rebels are a well organized, well funded, cohesive organization with a clandestine operations unit.
6. Dynamic Lock: The feature first requires you to pair your phone or tablet with the computer. Once done, it will automatically log you out everytime you're away from desk (or technically speaking, the device is out of the computer's proximity).
Just what I always wanted for my computer, another attack vector for breaking in.
I'm curious, how is Dynamic Lock an attack vector?
How is a developer supposed to develop software that "requires administrator privileges" if he or she can't write to arbitrary directories and / or registry keys during normal, post-installation use?
On a test machine, with a locked down network. And ideally, in its own test domain.
Why do women choose not to do tech degrees any more? Those courses used to be more popular in the 70s and 80s. The must be a reason.
Because once the computer became personal computer (instead of a main frame), very socially awkward people (predominantly male) fell in love with them. The women would look around, see handful of class mates absolutely in love with these computer things and then felt out of place because they were not as passionate about computers/programming as these other guys. Since they felt out of place they left to a field where they could feel roughly as passionate about it as their peers.
Other men in the classes wouldn't be doing the "reading between the lines", in comparing themselves to the in-love-with-computers students, and didn't self select themselves out of the classes. Those men just weren't socially sensitive enough, in the way that the women were.
So up until 3 months ago, these supposed protections didn't apply to anyone.
The protections still apply to dial up. When this whole internet thing started all of the client connections were done over phone lines, which are subject to Title II. Then when broadband started, all of the ISP kept behaving under Title II rules (which makes a lot of sense). Then last year (maybe two years ago) Comcast was able to somehow win the argument that broadband shouldn't be considered Title II. So a few month ago the FCC carried over this Title II feature to cover broadband as well.
What I'm seeing as the standout piece of information here is that this was only a law for a short time.
That's because it was illegal under Title II, which is what all ISP's operated under until this past year when Comcast complained "We're not a ye olde telephone service, we shouldn't be under Title II" and somehow got away with it. Apparently dial up, is still Title II, but DSL and Cable are not. So the FCC made it clear that even DSL and Cable providers couldn't do this. That's what only existed for a few months.
I was visiting someone once and his college age daughter told us of an experience she had earlier that afternoon. She was driving along the highway and the engine started making a terrible noise. Her solution: keep turning up the radio so she wouldn't have to hear it. The reason: what else could I do?
I remember always thinking that Pluto was odd as a planet. In elementary school they'd explain how all of the planets orbited along the ecliptic plane, and keep to their own orbits, except for Pluto. Its orbit isn't on the same plane as the other planets, and it crosses into Neptune's orbit. For me, that's what makes it not a planet.
Who would vote for a state representative to take away their local communities representatives ability to represent the community? This reeks of representing corporations and not citizens.
it would make it nearly impossible for businesses to operate if they need a lawyer in every single community they might do business in to analyze the regulations.
That sounds like one good to way to prevent a few large businesses from being the only businesses, and instead have a lot of little small businesses serve our needs. You realize that large business deals with that problem now.
This is moving control of the issue to the HOA's, and thus the people.
Most laws that move the decision making closer to the people is good in my eyes.
And the cities aren't the people? By that logic moving the deciding power from the states to the cities is better than the state banning it.
They're all about reducing regulations, deregulating airlines and letting the market sort issues out. They'll stick to their principles and never let additional regulation pass.
We know that Daylight Savings wastes energy. Daylight Savings exists, because US Senators took note of how they were able to play more golf when Daylight Savings existed, and so re-established it to avoid spending time with their wives.

And the USA relinquished their chemical weapons too.
Who would the US relinquish them to? The US has been destroying the stockpile. It's not an easy or fast process.
It's Obama's fault that the numbers are below expectations.
He relinquished his chemical weapons in 2013
Apparently he and Putin lied about it. I'm as shocked as you are.
I'm posting this comment now from a Windows Mobile device.

No, we're not solving climate change, we're just going to cut funding to the people telling us about it more and more until they stop telling us about it. ;)

It's easy having a separate admin account, which is rarely used.
