Binary is good. Do I rate your comment above a 6 or a 7? What does 7 mean to the next guy, and is it the same as it means to me? Up down is good because I only vote when I feel strongly about it.
- Keios 19y agomaxklien, 1.My own perspective is that it does not matter whether it is a 6 or a 7 and who interprets it how. That is the whole point of a subjective system it is not objective. 2. I believe subjective systems should not use numbers or other notations and therefore I suggest a slider not 10 radio buttons or a rating system. 3. I do not imply that the binary/objective system is no good. It is good for some applications, I would just prefer a more subjective measure around things which incorporate human opinion. :)
- Jd 19y agoActually from a standpoint of diagramming human intellectual output, both reddit and YC do poorly. Even so, I can't think of any simple mathematical processes that would be better. Systems dealing with human beings must take into account intangibles and not attempt to reduce human beings to machines. This is the fundamental flaw of the Turing project.
