There was a time (or at least so I'm told) when having a job meant you could build a living, own a house, support a family. So we the started looking at employment percentages as a measure for the quality of the economy. This incentivi

I'm not talking about "drawing conclusions from a single point of data". I'm talking about using single points of data to interrogate the completeness and correctness of your data.

by cyborgx7 8y ago
If you only look at numbers and not individual stories, you miss the blind-spots of your data.

That is what people are taught good journalism is. I agree, it's annoying and time consuming. It is disrespectful of my time as a reader.

That is a very specific description of the american voting system. I am not american. I agree that the current models of democratic control are severly and fundamentally flawed. But it's frightening to me that you think giving the powe

I disagree with the premise that some unelected individuals should control such a disproportionate amount of ressources, and therefore power, yes.

And afterwards they will still have thousands of times what regular people have.

I'm not in the 1%. The reason I care is because the primary reason for still so many people living in poverty, is the people hoarding money and doing what they can against anything that could change that.

Yes, this is about science, not mathematics. But scientific results are open to being question in their methodology and in the interpretation of their results. Mathematics is either correct or it isn't. This is a pretty blatant attempt

Are you denying that the income and wealth disparity between the poor and the rich is currently widening?

I've stumbled uppon it recently (significant active use was before my time) and I'm in love with its simplicity compared with modern formats. I was hoping for something to get me into the protocol as well.

By looking into Podlove[1] I stumbled onto a specification[2] by the IETF for just that. It doesn't seem to have much support though, neither on the feed creator, nor the client side. [1] https://podlove.org/paged-feeds
