  1. Re:Nobody believes the Zestimates on Zillow Faces Lawsuit Over 'Zestimate' Tool That Calculates a House's Worth (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    The argument is a Zestimate is a type of appraisal. And appraisals have legal requirements that must be met.

  2. It won't. Property taxes are based on the public record. You can fight property taxes, but you can't fight Zestimates. The best you can do is mess with their data (in your favor).

    Yep. They do use it. That is why you should edit your home facts and add some square footage. It isn't cheating, or illegal. It is just a website. This is the only way to combat such websites.

  4. It isn't fraud. It is a website. You are naiive. Zillow isn't there to HELP YOU. They are there to make a buck off of you. What a dummy.

  5. It is better to put in incorrect details in your favor. That will inflate the Zestimate. Zillow isn't in business to help you out.

  6. To fix this, "take ownership" of your property on Zillow and edit the property details and add an extra 1,000 sqft to it. Magically your value will go up. Thats what I did 5 years ago!

    Those "agreements" are unenforceable. You can say whatever you want. Take the money and run. That is what the executives do. Don't be dumb.

    Sure. Gates and Ballmer. That isn't mainstream.

  9. The Surface isn't even mainstream itself. Have you ever seen a Surface outside of the NFL sidelines? They aren't selling.

  10. Artificial Intelligence on Why Do Gas Station Prices Constantly Change? Blame the Algorithm (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    God, enough with the "AI software" BS. It is just software running simple algorithms.

    Now THERE is the anti-social psychopath.

  12. Re:Software Automation != AI on Artificial Intelligence Closes In On the Work of Junior Lawyers (ft.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly. We used to just call them "computer programs".

  13. ... nobody can hear you go "Pew, pew, pew."

    Also, it isn't secret. I've heard about it twice recently.

  14. You sound reasonable. But I am going with the psycho. Must be a nuclear bomb.

  15. Sort of like...targeted marketing?

  16. That gives me a good idea. I should start a company that influences what people do. I would call it "Marketing" or something like that.

  17. The company is so mysterious. They even have a website that tells you exactly what they do in big bold letters.

  18. Not a problem on The FBI Defends Deploying Malware From A Tor Child Porn Site (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It isn't "malware". It is software designed to figure out where these users are.

  20. Good idea on US To Seek Social Media Details From Certain Visa Applicants (phys.org) · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is a good idea. People who use "social media" should not be allowed in the country.

    I think it was Paperwhite. Amazon Echo is a good name though, because it echos all your conversations and data to Amazon and whoever else pays them to access it.

  22. I would pay much more for a device that constantly listens to me and sends all my conversations and data directly to Amazon and whoever else pays them to access it. MUCH MORE.

    Sure, he got it from anthrax from a 75-year old reindeer. Ridiculous.

  24. Comcast isn't losing money on TV either. In fact, Comcast added TV subscribers! 80k this quarter.

  25. Comcast had over $20 BILLION in revenue this quarter. I don't think they are worried much.
