- droopyEyelids 10y agoThats the creator's presentation of the purpose of it. Snarky? yes, but an important distinction. A truly objective point of view doesn't exist as far as we know.
- true_religion 10y agoWell it is, but I wasn't planning on taking their numbers and running with them today, so I think its okay if their MVP is "here's some numbers, we'll tell you how we got them next week". All that level of detail is necessary to make things actionable, but if they're gathering data no one cares about---that's pretty important, and you can't know that before launch.
- dkonofalski 10y agoConsidering that this site isn't really involved with any of the organizations providing the data, it's not really "transparent" in the sense that it should be. Even if they provide the data for download, there's no way to verify that it hasn't been tampered or transformed since its initial collection. They would need to link to the actual sources directly and I don't think that's going to happen.
