Anecdotally, a notorious real estate developer named Blackstone where I lived got into a lot of heat, and afterwards rebranded to a local-language version of "DearCity". Now everyone seems to have forgotten their ruthless practice

I am a part of a small but passionate group in Denmark, who advocates for giving everyone an account in the national bank at birth. This account would be able to attach a featureless debit card (using our national standard payment system &q

A less synical conclusion would be that the longterm viability of a AI-centric company like Google benefits a lot of reasonable development in the early stages. If Google can avoid ethical hiccups it might provoke less regulation and provok

This is pretty important. The way the guys does this is very close to how you could also fool a human by hanging up real stop signs in the wrong places, and "stupidity" people would start to respect them. The only difference here

I especially buy into your third concern. Where I live, if the introduction of a UBI was followed by a drastic reduction (or complete elimination) of the means-tested system we know today, hunger would potentially become a problem for peopl

Maybe off-topic, but the article says they used a modified machine learning algorithm to nap bat calls to activities and from that developed a translator. With the improvements to machine translation without parallelism data and voices-to-v

I've starten writing a series of articles on getting started with data science form an organisational perspective, in my own native language (Danish).

I don't think we need to declare "One truth", in order to remove the worst layer of misinformation. It's a false dichotomy. What is the effectivness of (homemade) masks? Disbuted, so here information should be free Shoul

In Denmark we've had a public payment card for a couple of decades now (Dankort). It's a no thrills, dump, payment card, but it is universally accepted, has no fees and virtually impossible to get into financial trouble with. I ha

They also look at road section with abnormally high levels of accidents and are actually willing to chance road layout to more intuitive. It is a legitimate reason to change the curvature or build a bridge or additional exit in Norway &quot

I often find it hard to tell if authoritarian governments are strengthened or weakened by internet... The mass shutdowns tells me it's the latter. I think you are more right than most people here want to admit. Sure, surveillance is ba

A lot of people are speculating in the comments on all sorts of causal factors making this connection spurious. Thank for digging up the article! The guessing can continue, but the authors and the data in their small study says it pretty cl

I'm not going to dispute that this is wrong (the ICO determined so), and that Google should be punished for breaking the law. That being said, I would also respect someone who said that it is nice to see Google aid in medical research

If you don't think fruity flavors target kids as at least collateral damage, will you tell me this is classical marketing aimed at your (adult) age group? https://s3-prod.adage.com/s3fs-public/styles/width_102

You could easily add high quality motion blur in 60 FPS if that was the desired look. More FPS is really no different that increased resolution. There is nothing sacred about 24, 480 or 1080. It's all conditioning ;)

Kids really shouldn't be smoking e-cigs either. E-cigs are only better than cigarettes because "cigarettes are so legendarily bad for you". I can accept them as cessation devices, but all their value in this realm should be w

This is only true in a very theoretical sense. Going 180 km/h will 9/10 be more dangerous than going 120 km/h. Reaktion time, brake time, requirements to equipment, everything is tougher at higher speeds.

people calling it a sensible strategy or solid 'risk assessment' really surprises me. You are to a large degree in charge of your risk. Proper, fullblown, 100% fabcricated accussations seems exceedingly rare. I've never seen

While that on principal is true, as an average citizen, digging into whether or not Netflix actually did something illegal is logistically impossible (not to mention requires skill very few outside of private industry-tax-optimization has).
