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 everyo…

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 featurele…

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…

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 woul…

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 kno…

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 …

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, …

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…

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…

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, 4…

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, …

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 t…

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 accussat…
