Kind of fifty fiftyish. It makes a lot of sense though. Well yes, I also turned out to be more male then female. Kind of fifty fiftyish. It makes a lot of sense though.

I turned out 100% male and my girlfriend got ~70% female. There's definitely a lot of potential in this. Pretty interesting actually. I turned out 100% male and my girlfriend got ~70% female.

I just heard that my sister is, apparently also, male. And that's not such a bad thing. We're not as pretty or elegant, but we can chop wood up real fast. More to the point, I think the database of cookie websites this guy has indexed is skewed and a bit old. If this was ever to be used to, say, direct specific book recommendations at Amazon.com, I would reckon Amazon would expand the database hundredfold, and tweak it continuously using a bayesian algohrithm. <em>Then</em> it might guess right.

Apparently there's a 79% chance that I'm male, based on my browsing habits, and that's 100% wrong. Yay for being an outlier? Oh dear.

Imagine this with a google-size database of gender distribution. I'd wager the results would be prette definitive. It is skewed, yes, but I would call this more of a proof of concept than anything.
