Six-year-old Bradley Lowery, whose plight touched the lives of many people, has died after a long illness.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/nintchdbpict000289001913.jpg?w=960&strip=all&quality=100Q

The Sunderland fan was diagnosed with neuroblastoma - a rare type of cancer - when he was 18 months old.

Bradley went on to be the club's mascot and became "best mates" with his hero, striker Jermain Defoe. He also led England out at Wembley for a World Cup qualifier against Lithuania.

His death was confirmed on social media by his parents.

The posting read: "My brave boy has went with the angels today.

"He was our little superhero and put the biggest fight up but he was needed else where. There are no words to describe how heart broken we are."

Poor kidda.

[John]

And the last thing he saw as a football fan was Jermain Defoe going to Bournemouth.

[Offshore Toon]

Why does everybody care about this kid?

[John]

Because he's the only child in England who both loves football and has cancer.

Edit - Was, loved, and had.

[Spammer]

Fucking hell :D

Yeah, fuck that kid!

[Offshore Toon]

Its just ridiculous. BBC coming out with "we'll all miss you" ffs.

[SvN]

I'm glad I'm not the only one completely baffled by this. His death is the top story on BBC sport.

[-james-]

And BBC news.

[Disco]

Jesus we're all depressing killjoys aren't we.

[Giggles]

He probably reminds John too much of Oscar Knox.

[Boydy]

Jesus christ, guys.

[Offshore Toon]

Its still not as bad as BBC Sport forcing women's football down our throats, though.

[Spammer]

Nice kid, people like that stuff, so people are interested. He's dead, it's sad, people would still want to know, so they reported it.

Some of you lot are seriously miserable cunts.

[Shindig]

I could post more videos of youtube personalities getting donated $1000's if that would get this thread on track.

[Disco]

I was talking to my neighbour earlier (he of the garden Tardis) and he was telling me (very seriously) about how their dog had attacked someone called Linda after which they'd locked it up but didn't know what to do about it. Not wanting to advise my neighbour to put his own dog down I instead asked how Linda was. He told me very seriously that they were keeping an eye on her but they weren't sure if she was going to pull through. Now this dog I know to be a shit yappy little thing so I was slightly confused at how Linda could be in such bad shape.

Turns out 'Linda' is a fucking chicken, I had to leave then because I didn't trust myself not to start laughing.

[Giggles]

After about 2 months of forced politeness, I finally flipped out with mine yesterday. Chances are she won't be taking in any more parcels for me now.

[Shindig]

Francis Walsh is mad at his chicken neighbour. Full story on page 2.

[Giggles]

[Disco]

It was the closest thread I could see relatively close to the top of the front page, bollocks to looking any further.

Why is shindig blaming me though? I just replied to you.

Maybe he's just being a knob.

[Spikey M]

I blame Ital personally

[Shindig]

What's so hard to fucking follow? Disco ends on "Turns out it was a chicken."

Giggles starts the very next post with, "Mine won't be accepting any parcels soon because I've pissed them off."

[Giggles]

I'd an epic indirect standoff with mine yesterday afternoon afterwards.

How come there are so many Japanese people in Brazil?

They all went there to work on coffee plantations, and other countries weren't taking in Japanese at the time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Brazilians#History

[John]

Other than their footballers Brazil's biggest sporting export is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which started out as an adaptation of Judo and was developed by a Japanese immigrant and his Brazilian students. They should show some respect, their entire fighting culture is basically a Japanese import.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Median weekly wage of £669.70, somebody pass me a gun.

[Lewis]

Sent home from school compo faces are the best part of September.

[mugbull]

I still don't know how the English survive. You make 670 pound a week on average, ok, fair enough, there are some US states where that's the median. But then your public transportation passes cost 10 million pound and your pints cost more than a full dinner in the States, so I'm not exactly sure what's being neglected. Do you go shopping once a year?

[mugbull]

Not to forget petrol prices, which are mind boggling.

[Jimmy Floyd]

We have the unholy combination of rampant capitalism and a massive government, making everything stupidly expensive. Most countries tend to pick one or the other.

For a short while I had a job in London (so had to commute) on a very low wage, literally made a £100 profit for a couple of months.

[mugbull]

God save the Queen

[Lewis]

Not to forget petrol prices, which are mind boggling.

Something like seventy per cent of that is tax (depending on prices), which would probably kick another revolution off in America.

[Baz]

670 a week on average. :harold:

Spend some time up North, mok. (It's a lot less.)

[Spikey M]

So is everything else. Apart from the benefits.

[mugbull]

Something like seventy per cent of that is tax (depending on prices), which would probably kick another revolution off in America.

Does it start to reverse around the Scottish border?

[Lewis]

For green energy? Is it put towards anything in particular? That's crazy.

It just goes into general taxation, and until very recently was effectively locked into above-inflation rises every year. Then when oil prices go up the government starts blaming petrol stations for ripping people off.

Is this dollars or before tax? WTF. The average UK wage is about £27,000 isn't it?

[mugbull]

Wait, is everything counted after tax in the UK? Like the 670, is that before or after?

[Giggles]

I'd love a £4.40 pint. My shithouse local half an hour from the city centre is €5.50. That said the last time I was drinking in the UK a couple of months ago it was £2.30, and it's only 75 minutes away.

[Spikey M]

Wait, is everything counted after tax in the UK? Like the 670, is that before or after?

Just to make it nice and simple - wage will be before tax, prices after tax.

[mugbull]

Just to make it nice and simple - wage will be before tax, prices after tax.

Alright, so it's the same then. Fucking impoverished country you've got

[Boydy]

You say that but at least everyone here has safe drinking water.

[mugbull]

You don't need "safe drinking water" when you've got affordable Mountain Dew

[Spikey M]

Then when that Mountain Dew gives you a heart attack (you could do with a tastebud transplant first you wrong'en) you get saddled (OI OI sports) with a crippling bill.

Meanwhile, we can Greggs and Dr Pepper ourselves into as many ailments as we please.

[John]

Mountain Dew is about a quid for a big bottle here. If that's not affordable you must be getting no more than pocket money.

[phonics]

Everything seems cheaper in America because it's labelled with the wrong price. The practice of not applying sales tax until you take the thing to the cash register is fucking mental and is a good enough reason to ignore every bit of progress that country has ever made.

[niko_cee]

I was a bit taken aback by Mert's claims a while back about the various average incomes in the US versus the UK and elsewhere, and it seemed to check out too. Now, I figured the variable exchange rate was a big factor (in 10 years it must have nigh on halved), and the fact that they have no holiday entitlements whatsoever, but still it seemed to me that average wages in the US shouldn't be almost double what they are in Europe and elsewhere. Then I realised I was perhaps being duped by the metric. Median household income? What the fuck is that? Is that 2 people working? Then there's the idea that you work it out by dividing the country's GDP by its working population. Erm. So actually, digging a bit deeper, it seems there isn't such a massive disparity, if there is one at all. Everything in the US does cost buttons though so you could probably earn $5 a week and buy a 7 bedroom mansion (soon to be eradicated by some sort of freak weather, natch) and still have change to eat out in Chipotle every night.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Cheaper stuff, lower taxes and more land/bigger cars vs zero social security, the requirement to work yourself into an early grave, and THAT SIR IS A FEDERAL OFFENCE. I'm happy not to be there.

[mugbull]

Everybody's happier where they are

[mugbull]

Still, median household income in the UK is 23,000 pound (30,000 dollars) and in the US the median household income is over $50,000, so it's a pretty objective truth that incomes are higher in the US while most fixed expenses are lower. And we still elected who we elected.

[phonics]

I too am surprised that a country with 7x the GDP, on a land area 39x the size with vast amounts more natural resources, earns less than double the UK's median salary.

[Pepe]

Speaking of which (again), is this (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/sep/07/lawyers-nhs-medical-negligence-cases) the best sub-heading you have ever seen?

I've had my fair share of run-ins with nurses both as a patient and a med student, but you can really fuck off with 'lazy'.

Firstly, lol at this school. How many Transgender pre-teens can you have running around.

Secondly, lol at this family. Why do you even care? I'm not having that their kid was upset by a boy in asking either. £100 on the dad being a closet case.

[phonics]

How can you remove two children over two seperate transgender based arguments? Like after the first one happens don't you pull the other one out or do you just let him go to Tranny High until another one pops up?

PS. They both look like they either murder or bugger children.

Row over AI that 'identifies gay faces'


I'm not sure where I stand on this. I mean, if it's accurate, then surely it's fine? But I'm fairly surprised that it's even possible.

[phonics]

98% accuracy apparently, fascinating. AI are going to definitely kill us all.

[niko_cee]

Isn't the story more about how clever AI things can be/learn to be, rather than forced outing of people by traffic camera? Not that such outrage is at all surprising in the modern age.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm not surprised there is some sort of AI-recognisable trend on dating site profile pictures between gays and straights. If you put it in front of a random selection doing a passport face it wouldn't have a clue.

[phonics]

A camera with the right software and data can already identify you by your walk so if we're going to be angry about identifying whether you're a bummer or not which is a lot easier, we're in trouble.

[Boydy]

I saw something recently about someone having developed facial recognition software that recognises you even if your face is half covered.

We're sleepwalking into a terrible future.

I don't really see the big problem. They're raising their children based on their beliefs, as batshit as it may seem to some.

[Shindig]

You don't see a problem with kids pissing where they stand? You don't see a problem with leaving kids to just 'wait out' shit like Scarlet Fever and Chickenpox? You don't see a problem with a mother keeping the kid attached with the cord until it just kinda falls off? You don't see a problem with them crowdfunding their very existence?

Why is it even called off-grid parenting? They live in a flat. What's off-grid about that?

[Yevrah]

It's not the flat, more that they've bred a five year old who is still breastfeeding and decides himself what he wants to be taught.

If we all lived off nature and in yurts that'd be fine, but what the fuck is he meant to do at his first job interview when there's no bitty around?

It's hippy wank of the highest order.

That kid is never having a job interview. He's probably pigeon-holed into "alternate lifestyle" from the get go. The parents probably think they're providing them with freedom but it'll probably have had the opposite effect in 20 years time.

[Spikey M]

Yeah, they couple that tried to treat Meningitis with Maple Syrup were also raising their children in line with their beliefs. A dad that fucks his kid is raising a kid based on his belief. This shit isn't a get out of jail free card.

"Stanford should distance itself from such junk science rather than lending its name and credibility to research that is dangerously flawed and leaves the world - and this case, millions of people's lives - worse and less safe than before," said its director of research, Ashland Johnson.

It's amazing that being outed as gay is more dangerous to society than, say, having your location tracked 24/7 or the idea that you'll walk into a store, it'll recognize you, and give you taste recommendations based on previous purchases etc etc.

The tracking our every move and purchase? Nah that's fine. It might tell me if I'm #TheGay or not? THIS IS JUNK SCIENCE TO THE NTH DEGREE.

It doesn't sound that legit. If, let's say, 10% of people are gay then 81% or whatever they got isn't a very convincing accuracy.

Although i agree, people don't give nearly enough of a shit about location tracking and all the other bullshit that goes on at Facebook.

The worst part is the entire "Well, the government already has everything anyways" laissez faire attitude people have toward it. That's what caught me by surprise when I read that quote. Oh, NOW technology has gone too far? I'm pretty sure the US Government knows more about me than I do myself at this point but hey, thanks for caring.

[mugbull]

I actually misread the study, 81% is quite good then but i wonder how much of that is down to the algorithm learning the filters that gay people use or the poses they strike

It has gone through the peer review process, so it has been deemed good enough for publication. Now, if people want to read the article and point out its flaws in methodology, or if the conclusions don't match the results or whatever, they are free to do so. But to be against it just because GAYS is 'left gone wrong' of the highest order.

If pulling pics from PlentyOfFish is good enough for a study to pass peer review then academia is fucked

[Pepe]

Academia is fucked for many reasons and I haven't read the paper, but I am sure it is a lot more about facial recognition technology than where the pictures came from. I am assuming a dating website was used because it is a good place to find images that also include the sexual preference of the person.

[mugbull]

If you're a researcher and want to train a CNN to identify gay faces you first get subjects, sit them in front of the same background, use the same camera with the same lighting, have them remove jewelry/make-up/hair stuff and have them all look straight faced at you. Maybe do a few angles. That's a study. You have to trust that the gay people you get are actually gay, but that's true with dating sites too

It might be the case that gay people have different facial features, it's possible. But this was a shit study and hasnt revealed anything.

I got a negative article review a while back that said my arguments had already been made elsewhere, but when I asked them FUCKING WHERE MATE? they withdrew it and agreed that it should be published. With that in mind, the people behind this (oi-oi recognise that) should smoke out their critics as having secret gayfaces.

When my advisor (an expert on his field) is asked to review a paper, he asks me or someone else in the lab (not yet experts in our fields) to do the review. The whole thing is a bit of a joke.

I got one really detailed positive review, the one already mentioned, and another negative one effectively telling me that the consensus was the consensus for a reason (oh nice one mate cheers). I think they just expect you to bend to their will, because if you are a working academic you probably just want your name on something out there in a 'prestigious' journal more than you want to insist on getting a particular idea across on your exact terms; but I'm not one of those, so I just re-submitted it and told them they were wrong, and they BOTTLED IT.

[Pepe]

My latest one was one good, mostly positive review suggesting a few changes, one no-show, and one 'it's shit lulz.' I just made some of the changes the first one suggested and the editor just went for it.

[Pepe]

Another person in the lab submitted something but he was told it was not enough to be a full publication, so he should submit it as a 'short communication.' He shortened it and resubmitted it as such and now they say is too much and that it should be a full paper, but maybe in a shitter journal. :harold:

[Lewis]

My old supervisor was once asked to review something, which he and somebody else he knew told them was crap, but then they published it anyway because the author was well-known in the field. If that is commonplace it would explain how super busy professors can still get so many things out there.
