"How?" - my thought
I recently read a story in Inc. magazine about Michelle Lam. The article was about Lam's business that "..developed a personalized quiz based on rules that experts use to fit customers without a tape measure."
The algorithm is used to predict a women's bra size and fit without a tape measure. That is exactly why I questioned it.
Not being a woman, I simply do not understand how this is predictable without a tape measure. I do believe that a woman needs to be properly measured by a store person who is an expert at fitting women. The idea of being able to do this without the tape is just hard to believe.
What it makes me wonder is what else could lend itself to an algorithm? Most things are not as specific as a bra fit.
Today's question is:
"What could use an algorithm instead of detailed measurement?"
