Measuring
- raheemm 17y agoI think that government in particular needs to provide a web-based dashboard of stats to its citizens so we can see how the country is doing. This is a great idea and should be easy to implement. A lot of data is already collected by the gov. Perhaps the gov 2.0 project might make this one step closer to reality.
- kingkongreveng_ 17y agoThe stats the government already provides are baked to hell, and manipulated to suit the political cycle. It's a stupid idea. The government shouldn't even be in the measurement and statistics business. We need a census and that's about it. Why should the government calculate GDP and so on? Competing private estimations provide greater depth already.
