I think it's widely recognized to be a game. Humans love games so it's OK

Ok like Jim Cramer but for bots

Shocking they would put so much trust in 3rd party

Since all three companies selected the same 3rd party, I’m curious how and why.

Why not American?

The behavior is in the training data... What does that say about software dev culture?

fighting that fight right now... was doing great until I got to a level with self directed work

Taste is subjective - that's why it can't be replaced.

Hispanic isn't related to race.

first they are mostly collecting statistics about ethnicity, not race

genetically there is only one human race (which is often best explained as the genetic differences _inside_ a sample group of arbitrary ethnicities being larger then the difference between (a hypothetical average genome) of such groups).

through to be fair, people use race and ethnicity commonly interchangeable

what is more relevant is why should a country even collect either such information?!

the only thing which seems potentially relevant is statistics about stuff like _practiced_ (sub-)culture, religion etc. But nothing really fixed by birth. (The reasons you might want to have that information is because it can affect which of multiple imperfect possible decisions, is the one wich is most likely causing the least amount of unintended issues for peoples daily live.)

And I know "people" also conflate practiced culture and race and ethnicity in daily conversations. But they also tend to tell white looking people with dreadlocks that they are acting very inappropriately, even if that person has a African parent (as a very dump example of the kind of situations which make me fell the need to write this comment. Also not me in the example. Just a fully arbitrary chosen, simple to understand example).

From the 2020 form I can see, the question is: "What is this person’s race? Mark X one or more boxes [...]"

> what is more relevant is why should a country even collect either such information?!

Having the true population (or close to it) is very useful for a lot of purposes in statistics/scientific studies - like knowing whether your sample is representative (and how much to undersample/oversample if not), or controlling for race when looking at factors correlated with it.

Sure. And there's that story about Feynman listing his race as "mutt" on some official form because the rest also aren't mutually exclusive.

If you're going through a small airport, or hopping on a plane at an FBO, there are not long lines and invasive screenings, you just identify and go

many species of mushroom cant be identified just by looking, spore print is a necessary differentiator for many species, and as the article notes, for some species DNA sequencing is the only way to be sure.

oysters are pretty safe

Yes but you need to be sure it is an Oyster Mushroom in the first place.

Right, which isn't tough, it's a pretty safe mushroom to forage.

I mean, there's a reason the Old Testament banned them. Blech

? Mushrooms.

Haha no but it should have. I meant oysters and shellfish in general

Great stereotypical engineer's response.

How is that?
