I really hate the whole non-determinism in sites. First we have A/B testing, then we have google search showing different results depending on what computer/account/country of the ip address you are using, youtube showing different recommended videos (rather than basing it on the current video), etc.
It would be great if instead they had a deterministic way of looking at it. For example give an easy way to anyone to select a different "perception" for the map borders.
- qtplatypus 7y agoHow is that non deterministic?
- hugey010 7y agoMy guess is non-deterministic is not the correct word. More like determined by factors not disclosed to the user. Social media does this as a feature. There must be a line though. I certainly wouldn't want laws in my country to force Wikipedia to alter facts based on my location. I suppose it's possible that's already happening.
