But in this case there seem to be enough cultural differences between races to skew the results. I'm guessing it's something along the lines that white people in the learning set were more likely to lie about stealing while hungry, while the black people were more honest. Since the AI didn't have data about race, it couldn't use it while learning - it had to average things out which means (since there were probably more white people in the learning set), that mostly 'hardened criminals' responded that stealing was ok.

What these results basically show us that there ARE differences between the races, and that including race machine learning could lead to LESS racist outcomes.

It seems to me that what it was missing was the data about race.

Why would you expect the AI to give you the correct answer based on parameter X, when you excluded that parameter during testing and use.

Higher prices? You mean prices rise when people buying things have the same amount of money and the employers are paying them the same?

That sure sounds beneficial for the worker - they work less and get the same.

So does that mean that corporations can knowingly order people in their subsidiaries to break laws? I would have thought that would mean that any employees that gave those orders could be prosecuted in the EU.

They were escaping from the inability to oppress others, not from being oppressed.

They would.
Taking care of a slave is expensive - food, clothing, housing. Much better to set them free so they have to take of all of those expenses themselves, while you only pay them while they are actually working for you.
They would stick them with the debt for their upbringing though.

No, it's their employer that is robbing them.

3.a) Apple can no longer use Ireland as a tariff free shelter inside the EU. Apple branch in Ireland is shut down.

They are trying to enforce the agreement that companies have to be taxed equally. This agreement has a very good reason for existing - so countries can't give special tax breaks to companies based in that country while heavily taxing all foreign competition.

Ireland is part of this agreement. So they aren't allowed to give Apple a special deal.

"a lock-out mechanism to prevent operation of one or more functions of handheld computing devices by drivers when operating vehicles,"
I can't see how it could do anything else. Surely the patent office wouldn't grant a completely useless patent!

They patented the technology, so they MUST have a way to detect who is the driver. That's what patents are for right? Innovations that solve hard problems?

And unlike when they were receiving unemployment payments, these people can now go out and get at least some form of a job without losing those payments.

My understanding is that in this case NASA didn't bother to claim the bag after it was confiscated from the thief. So after a while it was sold at auction by the police.
It was a case of NASA not bothering to claim the bag before it was sold. So the item that was bought wasn't just stolen, it was also abandoned by the original owner.

The rules were set and the rules say the winner does not need to be respected.
