It’s just that, a timeline.
Next you’ll be telling me that calling something “cool” is a lie, because that new T-shirt doesn’t have a low temperature.
- itake 5y agoa timeline is an algorithm? Wait until people start gaming the timeline based algorithm by deleting and re-posting images, so they stay at the top slot. When does "no algorithm" become an algorithm? When you add ML?
- notJim 5y agoIn the common language used these days, "the algorithm" refers to the sorting/reranking companies like Facebook and now Twitter do to attempt to show you posts you're most likely to engage with. I think the vast majority of people reading that Glass has "no algorithm" will understand this.

- groby_b 5y agoIn a world where people nitpick each other to death, sure. Meanwhile, in the real world, language has meaning beyond the literal expression. And I'm willing to put money on the fact that their target audience understands perfectly what "no algorithm" means. Heck, even the people complaining know what it means, they just like being right.
