That, of course, requires people working in the industry from a variety of backgrounds. Pretty sure the technical term for this is "a great big load of hooey". It's called "very bad QA". As a QA person, whenever I look at a web page, one thing I ALWAYS check is how the screen font and colors look. I always consider color blindness I am not colorblind It does not matter, I don't need a black co-worker to test this. I only need a clue how todo my job.

Actually, the history of computer nerds runs libertarian, not left-liberal. The COMPANIES run left, and the current gen, as with all of this one, runs left.

Snow – thanks for the updates; I haven’t seen anything on PowerLine or my other “regular” spots, but Gateway is often ahead of the pack.

On Algorithms, ran into this amusing piece today.

Back to my comments above on the FISA court not holding any hearings to examine the evidence before OKing a FISA Warrant to spy on Carter Page.

Out today on the Gatewaypundit is a story by Jim Hoft, citing an apparently astute Twitter participant named ImperatorRex, who points out that there is a law (50 USC 1805) which would have allowed then Obama Administration AG Loretta Lynch to issue a FISA warrant on her own, if there was an “Emergency” justifying such an action.

The blogger then goes on to point to various statements and actions that have all already been reported–by Obama, the Obama Administration, Hillary, certain Strzok emails, etc.–that he highlights to show how the appearance of such an “Emergency” situation, to justify Lynch’s issuance of a FISA warrant, could have been manufactured.

Once her FISA Warrant was issued by Lynch, according to law she had to notify the FISA court within 7 days, and then, says ImperatorRex, it looks like the Chief FISA judge just signed off on that Warrant–thus no hearing necessary.

Not buying the narrative they “run themselves”…

how they are “trained,” and why they lean left

Indoctrination (e.g. input, feedback) and contol[ler] (e.g. exclusion, inclusion, weighting) bias. The training regime is much like the press in this regard.

Either The Guardian denies Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming, or believe they can abort the baby and have her too. Both are possible, but only the latter is a known control[ler] bias, and therefore probable. In fact, given the control[ler] bias for the former, it is not only improbable, but rather an absurd outcome of the algorithm.

Algorithms are not dynamic. The paths they follow are. The paths follow the input with control[ler] biases.

More on algorithms: what they are, how they are “trained,” and why they lean left.

Not on point, but I think that it’s important enough news that people’s attention should be focused on it.

Whoa Nellie! as my gramma might have said.
Looking forward to the news cycle tomorrow.
