Is about the knowing the value you're providing

I can only vote for candidates standing in my region, both in UK and Germany.. I'll grant the UK could be more democratic too, but the EU is as democratic as at least some of it's member states.

Yes but your original comment said mostly unelected, which isn't true.

I guess it's easier to require it not be able to distinguish at all than define what bias actually is and what the errors on that are.

by developer93 3y ago
But as I understood it's already established that many of the big initial training sets were highly biased, so it's a legitimate concern.

All that don't just have time ordered feeds, or feeds which are highly configurable by the user anyway. I guess mastodon doesn't fall under this category..

And not having any control is why some "shithole" countries have that reputation..

While billboards are annoying, a) everyone sees the same, they aren't tailored, b) they aren't as ubiquitous, most people don't spend as much time looking at billboards as they do at various feeds and c) they are only show 1

To the point where I'll click away if they don't give me a way to opt out, or if I feel like they're taking the mickey too much. All those cookery websites that are so snooty about cookies as if there weren't 10 more sim

Also I find it hard to believe that Putin wouldn't come up with another excuse after that one ran out.. Did you see the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics ?

The whole European food mountain was a thing. And we're still wasting plenty of food, we're not going to starve any time soon.

by developer93 3y ago
You don't generally have to check if your food is made with lead or carcinogens though right? And if inspections aren't compulsory some people are going to get lead poisoning before word gets around, or get cancer decades later an

Also to put the conversation on record somewhere so that if someone comes later with the same complaint they can see why the code was written like that.

The trouble with libertarianism is that it assumes everyone has perfect knowledge. Right now I don't need to do a ton of research about what drugs I'm taking, or the food I'm eating, come to that, because there are agencies m

There have already been quite a few laws passed by our newly-liberated government watering down data protection, environmental laws, ramping up authoritarian impulses, and so on. It's not going well I tell you.

Or move your email to a list they can sell on..

Especially since there's 1 developer and thousands to millions of users..

Write or tweet them, you might be able to head it off at the pass.

Considering black absorbs more heat than white, that made no sense in the first place

I've heard tell of a parallel set of rules where the game is cooperative instead of competative, I would love to play that.

It's still more efficient for a single factory to fell 20 trees and produce 20 chairs than it is for 20 people to fell their own tree and produce their own chair. Not to mention one person can't specialise enough to produce everyt

That applies to any kind of work currently also..

They would still use more energy in total, since flats insulate themselves to a certain extent due to having less outside walls & tend to be smaller requiring less energy to heat the space. You can also power flats with renewable energy

by developer93 3y ago
Yes but the sewage from a block of flats takes less transportation for the equivalent amount of people living in suburbs with thousands of square m for a single house
25.
by developer93 3y ago
Your environmental footprint for transport is higher though right unless you're cycling everywhere, because you need to travel further? Which involves everything you need that you don't produce yourself. Or you're all entirel

by developer93 3y ago
I didn't completely understand that, could you elaborate or rephrase maybe with an example? If you have time. Sounds interesting.

There is however value in anonymity. In some situations there are things that should be said or explored that could cause bad consequences for the sayer - women's rights discussed by an Iranian or Saudi for example.

Not that have experience, but I feel like that's just practice. Your subconscious needs to learn that it's not necessarily going to die when it does that, and your subconscious learns from experience, so if you did it 10 times and

And yet that kind of thing is done all over the place all the time

That is ironic ;-)
