This may be off topic, but it concerns the code some of us run on servers we build.

Others suffer - black men are harrassed, incarcerated, and killed because the face recognition software used by police confuses them with black criminals. Women are locked out of their apartment buildings, or fail to get jobs. This 85 minute video describes these and similar problems. Much of the video focuses on statist "solutions", but we might avoid that by demanding competence, transparancy, and COMPLETE testing, from our colleagues ... and NEVER EVER using biased pattern recognition training sets. The video is only free until Monday April 19, so watch it (and share it) ASAP. Keith -- Keith Lofstrom [email protected]
