Lions say Matt Stafford's test was a false positive
Has the NFL put the proper COVID-19 protocols in place to protect players for the 2020 season? Former NFL player Jack Brewer reacts. The Detroit Lions removed Matthew Stafford from the COVID-IR list, saying he received a false-positive test result -- and drawing the ire of the quarterback's wife toward the NFL. The list was created for players who either test positive for COVID-19 or have been in close contact with an infected person. Stafford was listed on it Saturday, but the team said Tuesday his testing sequence for the pre-entry period was: negative, negative, false positive -- then the next three tests were all negative.
Commentary: In world of artificial intelligence, I'll be simply out of luck
Because while my relationship problem once was limited to the one woman who lives inside the self-checkout machine in the grocery I most often go to, it's now spread to almost every woman inside every self-checkout machine I find. Stafford: 'I'm not sure I'll ever really make up my mind' So far as I know, no men have been put into the machines, which I see it as an attempt to keep someone from punching out the machines and winning damages not only for the broken and bloodied fist but for severe mental cruelty they inflict. As I've mentioned in this space before, the number one issue I have with my most significant scanning partner is bickering. As soon as I swipe my first card, she butters me up by calling me a valued person. People once gave me funny looks when I said things to the machine like "I've already put it there, dear!" Now, I get nodding heads and get the occasional "Right on!" Thus emboldened, on my last trip to the grocery, after her third unnecessary reminder about putting something in the "bagging area," I'd had it.
AI automation starts to transform legal profession
In Pyrrho Investments v MWB Business Exchange, Master Paul Matthews of the Chancery division supported the use of software in scoring documents for relevance. He found there was no evidence that software would be less accurate than manual review and keyword searches. He added that software could provide greater consistency in searching more than 3 million documents that could be involved in the disclosure. A final reason was that both sides had agreed to the use of the software, which would be much cheaper than a manual search – they just wanted the court's approval. However, in May, the High Court went further when two undisclosed parties disagreed on whether predictive coding software should be used.

Seeking the world's new artificial intelligence gorilla - maybe born in the RSA? - BizNews.com
We should all be blessed with friends like my pal Stafford Masie. Energetic, enthusiastic and hugely knowledgeable, on a scale of smartness he's the only one of my pals whose intellect is in the same league as Simon Marais, the late chairman of Allan Gray. Stafford is deeply plugged into the tech world, a great advantage for his friends as he willingly helps the rest of us understand the big trends shaping the world. Our breakfast was a celebration of sorts. Stafford's most recent venture, the multibillion mobile payments product Thumbzup, is a huge success with its Absa relationship expanded to now include clients like Mr Price and even Uber.

In February 2016, a London court supported the use of predictive coding software in a legal disclosure process, which often involves lawyers receiving huge volumes of documents from those representing the other side in a case.

Astronaut Gene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon, dies at 82
Former astronaut Gene Cernan, the last of only a dozen men to walk on the moon who returned to Earth with a message of "peace and hope for all mankind," has died. Cernan died Monday following ongoing heath issues, his family said in a statement released by NASA spokesman Bob Jacobs. NASA said Cernan was surrounded by his family. "Even at the age of 82, Gene was passionate about sharing his desire to see the continued human exploration of space and encouraged our nation's leaders and young people to not let him remain the last man to walk on the Moon," the family said. Cernan, commander of NASA's Apollo 17 mission, set foot on the lunar surface in December 1972 during his third space flight.
Online Dating Is Rife With Sexual Racism, 'The Daily Show' Discovers
On Tuesday's episode of "The Daily Show," correspondents Jessica Williams and Ronny Chieng took a humorous yet hard-hitting look at a form of bigotry not often discussed: sexual racism. "Racism affects nearly every aspect of life, even -- and it truly pains me to say this -- f**king," host Trevor Noah said as he introduced the segment. Williams and Chieng specifically looked at how some groups, like black women and Asian men, faced undue discrimination in the world of online dating. "There is kind of a systemic racial bias pretty much in every dating site I've ever looked at," Christian Rudder, co-founder of OKCupid and author of the dating statistics book "Dataclysm," told the duo. "We found that 82 percent of non-black men have some bias against black women… And Asian men get the fewest messages and the worst ratings of any group of guys."
Human-Robot Interaction Research to Improve Quality of Life in Elder Care — An Approach and Issues
Broadbent, Elizabeth (The University of Auckland) | Jayawardena, Chandimal (The University of Auckland) | Kerse, Ngaire (The University of Auckland) | Stafford, Rebecca Q (The University of Auckland) | MacDonald, Bruce A (The University of Auckland)
This paper describes a program of research that aims to develop and test healthcare robots for elder care. We describe the aims of the project, the robots developed, and studies we have performed in HRI in elder care. We highlight research design issues that have become apparent in the retirement home setting when testing robots. These issues are relevant to robotics researchers wishing to evaluate the effects of robotic care on older people’s quality of life.
