When Algorithms go Rogue

In the first week of November, Apple and Goldman Sachs got a bit of unwanted attention when @DHH, the famous creator of Ruby on Rails (and a Le Mans 24h race class winning driver) accused them of gender discrimination. Case in point: He and his wife applied for Apple Cards together and received a credit limit 20 times of was given for his wife. This, when they file joint taxes and she has a better credit score. The Tweet went viral, but things got even more heated when the other "Steve" of Apple, @stevewoz backed the claim. But we are not discussing the troubles of Apple and Goldman Sachs after this incident, and the subsequent legal inquiry that was ordered.
