Purely because I consider it to be within in my “related disciplinary interest” bailiwick ...

When Discrimination Is Baked into Algorithms

A recent ProPublica analysis of The Princeton Review’s prices for online SAT tutoring shows that customers in areas with a high density of Asian residents are often charged more. When presented with this finding, The Princeton Review called it an “incidental” result of its geographic pricing scheme. The case illustrates how even a seemingly neutral price model could potentially lead to inadvertent bias—bias that’s hard for consumers to detect and even harder to challenge or prove.

Hm. We learned in the late 80s that ML was vulnerable to this, how come the lesson appears to have been forgotten?

I wonder if I have not been mistakenly assuming that the lack of acknowledgement of the issue by contemporary proponents of ML was a sign that the issue (GIGO) is so basic as to have been fully internalised.

To discover that the knowledge has apparently been lost is more than a little disturbing.

If we take a step back from programming, in a way life can be seen as an algorithm and in the algorithm of life the rich becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer which widens the gap and as a result the poor becomes discriminated against even further. This can also be applied to crypto where those with lots of money to acquire hash power will become richer and the those that cannot afford it becomes poorer. In the POS context those with lots of money to get lots of coins will become richer by staking and those that cannot afford lots of coins will become poorer. This is partly what causes the rush to new coins that we always see where people with little resources try to mine coins quickly at low diff because later they wont be able to afford it and soon large farms are onto a new coin.

I don't think it is easy to solve this part of discrimination in life, but it is possible though to collect wealth with little resources with enough planning and being smart about it, eg. by seeing opportunities others don't or by regular saving of small amounts and by your retirement age what seems to have been small amounts are suddenly a large amount.

What are you trying to do? Do you want to setup your local wallet as a node?

All you do is to install the Windows client. Then in the ...\roaming\vcoin folder you place a file called vcoin.conf. Inside the file put the lines in the block below. Also change the user ID and password to something suitable.  You can then also sync up quickly by copying the bootstrap.dat file into the ...\roaming\vcoin folder.

Ok i already have wallet installed and already syncro and working.
Now i created vcoin.conf in folder ...roaming/Vcoin
Vcoin.conf whit your code
Restarted The Vcoin wallet
In console i setgenerate true -1

If your wallet is synching and your local chain is updating with blocks and if you can see other connections in the bottom right then your wallet is a node. It seems that you are trying to mine with the built in wallet miner. I would advise against it at this point as the difficulty is too high for CPU mining. The only way to mine it at the moment is with an ASIC miner connected to the wallet. Forgot about using setgenerate. For academic reasons, if you want to know if your wallet built-in miner is working, you can look at your system processes and resource usage and if your CPU is running at 100% then your CPU is mining. If you are connected to your local wallet with an ASIC on your local network, then look in your miner console software to see if it is connected and mining.

Yes all this... Is one accademic reasons ... Thanks for help ... I searching to learn :-) Now i searching difference from node to Full node :-) Thanks!!!

Please correct me if I am wrong but afaik a node is a wallet that is connected to the network whether it has a local chain or not. A full node is a wallet that has the full chain locally. Therefore if your wallet is fully synced and the chain is local on your PC then you are a full node.

Curious to what situation a connected wallet isn't a node, I thought all local wallets hold a ledger i.e. are full nodes.

If there were more details released about how they are supposed to be charged more, I could maybe make an actual judgement on that, but so far they have essentially made a good work moving forward that shows arrows pointing to a box labeled nothing and that's it.

[gjhiggins]

hi, is this "http://www.vcoinapp.com/" somehowe connected to VCoin?

Nope, no connection.

I'm curious why you thought it might be somehow connected. Did you actually think it was or did you consider it unlikely but thought you'd check anyway?

Cheers

[disamsal]

i did consider it unlikely , but had to check it out anyway
