AI Gaydar

No, really . Using only photos of your face. According to the study, the machine was able to distinguish between gay and straight men about 91 percent of the times, while it could tell women’s sexual orientation 83 percent of the times. Due to these results, they concluded that the sexual orientati...

The massive divide

Your 0/1 framing of this doesn't sit well with me. Should we allow freedom of speech so absolutely that we're allowing ISIS to make social media recruiting and bomb-making vids and freely post them? Think of all the future chemists they could inspire.

Hmm, I also have Kizer in that league, too. Is it possible I pulled another Barnidge and found the only spot on the Cleveland offense that doesn't completely suck?

Plan on sending your son to college?

Which is why they will never give up an inch of what they have now.

Then wouldn't I start noticing differences if I've got 2 open and alternate refreshes on them? That'd cause it to drop to the lowest anyhow.

Round trip flights and hotel booked. Everything for under $1K.

Things learned:

- Trivago consistently had the best hotel deals ... paired with Google's flight search capabilities, it keeps the bundle travel sites honest
- Expedia > Priceline in terms of usefulness

The wrath of the people when a public servant gets out of office after doing a shitty job is one of the natural checks and balances of democracy.

The First Trump term.

Turns out Joe might have been more of a lying shitbag than he let on. Former Penn State coach Joe Paterno allegedly told former assistant Mike McQueary in 2001 that it wasn't the first time he had heard that Jerry Sandusky had sexually abused children, according to a 2011 Pennsylvania State Police ...

Equifax data breach

We used to get a shitload of data from various financial sources at my last job. We had to filter and collate it all to build up DB tables. Equifax was the absolute last authority we'd use because their data was almost 100% contradictory, incomplete, or otherwise unusable. They always exuded "w...

Uber created fake Lyft customer accounts, tricking Lyft’s system into believing prospective customers were seeking rides in various locations around a city. That allowed Uber to see which Lyft drivers were nearby and what prices they were offering for various routes, similar to how such information...

If my team sucked that much, I'd be doing everything possible to distract people from the football games, too.
