If you read ProPublica's R script rather than their anecdote-filled news article, you discover the algorithm is accurate (p < 0.001) and unbiased (bias tests had p > 0.05).

Unfortunately an honest title/article "sentencing algorithm is accurate and eliminates racism" wouldn't be viable clickbait, so they decided to ignore their own conclusions.

Honestly, I'd click that. Although I'd probably read the HN comments first, as I would be skeptical.
