They do that in the US, too.

I was COVID-free until the end of July. I've now had it twice.

Cole slaw is best anywhere away from my food.

People tend to demand perfection when it comes to weddings. I'm pretty sure that's why it's more expensive. In general, prices rise alongside expectations.

I'm confused.

So, is it actual discrimination, or is it just that their data Facebook has shows that other ads are better suited to them, statistically, in terms of profit? I'm sure all sorts of patterns show up in the quantity of data they have, and algorithms show ads based on these patterns. It's possible that gender is a factor, but it seems just as likely that there are other patterns (perhaps some common to a given gender) that factor into this result.

Edit: To be clear, I did not read the article, because I don't actually care that much. I just find statistics and patterns interesting. Having worked in insurance in the past, I was always curious about which exact information factored into premiums, and in what way. I know everything from marital status, to job, education, location, age, credit score, and much more, factored into decisions, and not always in ways you may expect -- all based on statistics.

That's not likely to happen, but if it did, it would be much more expensive and include ads. We're not returning to cable benefits without plenty of the downsides (and, no doubt, some new ones).

You're down with the Gitness?

But with no DVRs to fast forward through ads. (Yes, I know that was a "recent" cable thing, but still.)

Looks like a brick of Colby Jack cheese in the US.
