> who centered their messages much more around reducing the structural power of billionaires and large corporations. The problem is that there is a segment of the American voters who believe that if the current billionaires and large corporations would quit screwing them, they would become the billionaires and owners of the large corporations. As such they are all for screwing over the current crop of billionaires, b…
Sir, this is a site run by an investment fund, I'm afraid you've stepped a bit out of line there.
This platform is far from an impartial place. People need to remember the reason this site exists...

They could use a catchy slogan like "drain the swamp"...
I think there are a couple of other recent presidential hopefuls who centered their messages much more around reducing the structural power of billionaires and large corporations.
And further, nobody outside of the extreme of the extremists actually wants to eliminate the potential for achieving a "wealthy" status. People will always be able to achieve high levels of success. The argument is that we need to pick a point where amassing so much wealth can start to be deemed anti social and start to taper things off there. There is basically nothing you can buy with ten or eleven digits that you can't buy with nine, except entire corporations and countries and absolutely no individual needs that power or the prospect of that power to be fulfilled in life.

And the news pits us against one another because God forbid we all get along and work together. That would be the real threat.
Could a solution to this be a 3rd political party that unites people together somehow? Instead of fighting between democrats and republicans all the time.
OK. Is your third political party pro gun or anti gun? I need to know before I can commit... see the problem yet? We’ve been divided with wedge issues.

#555I've been using Android for over a decade now I believe. Have only reviewed a handful of apps and generally been a good citizen. I left a thoughtful one star review today and it was deleted. I'm not going to lie, it irks me.
This energetic response from so many huge players even outside of WS have really elevated this meme stock saga to a monumental art piece.
Another interesting aspect is the back-and-forward. Reddit throttled and seem to have restored the sub. Discord reversed the ban. FB & Google jumped in.
Not to mention all the WS action, obviously. Financial press started with an emphatically anti-WSB position but public opinion and regular media went sharply in the other direction. I suspect tomorrow's press will be quite different.
WSB nutters believe they have withstood an day of coordinated market manipulation efforts. They're very pumped for round 2. Meanwhile, it seems like brokers, clearing houses, market makers and the markets are getting ready to reopen trading again.
The whole thing has become symbolic, and that might mean even more demand tomorrow.

Every product has a defect rate and outraged customers are the most likely to post reviews. Therefore a product is likely to have an overrepresented proportion of negative reviews. This is a tricky problem to correct for. I'm thinking about this more in terms of Amazon reviews, where they perhaps factor in the rate of returns when deciding what and how many reviews to delete.
that just means the reviews skew lower, not that they need to be 'corrected for'... If a good product has 1K 'bad reviews', and a crap product has 10K 'bad reviews' - the system it working. Anything else is just gaming the system to inflate review scores across the board.
When I shop for products on Amazon the problem is such that more or less all reviews are negative. In that case it doesn't matter if it's 1k or 10k, they simply drown out the positive/neutral reviews, even though I'm pretty safe to ignore the "this product was DOA" reviews. The review incentive structure is fundamentally broken.

Yes of course. >Someone like yourself who's just trying to put a better app in front of Robinhood? Yes I would expect some user to complaint, the service is part of the app experience.
That seems so unreasonable to me. What could that person's app have possibly done better to receive a better rating?! Do you blame people who are doing the best any human can do in their position when they have absolutely no control over anything?
> Do you blame people who are doing the best any human can do in their position when they have absolutely no control over anything?
If someone advertises a service but cannot provide that service due to ineptitude, mendacity, or bad luck, then they will be almost certainly be judged on that regardless of their efforts. Their efforts may or may not be taken in to account but this is not school, we are adults, and as such we are all judged based on performance before all other considerations.
For those who wish it to be otherwise then that's fine, just don't charge.

It's "wrong" in the sense that you go unheard but "right" in the sense that I can make a more accurate assessment of the product. I care more about the latter and so does the sales platform.

Which deplatformings do you specifically refer to? The concern over them just seems way too tribal at the moment to be considered in league with the more serious allegations against Robinhood and the funds involved - that is big money. Wrt Parler specifically, I think a lot of the "solutions" (or sketches toward) on this site would quickly reveal that the optimal societal configuration is closer to what we have now t…
> Which deplatformings do you specifically refer to? President (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), White House, Parler (Google Play, Apple, AWS), MyPillow guy, anyone who utters the phrase "stop the steal" on Facebook, Kyle Rittenhouse (Facebook, GoFundMe, Discover)
Wow, it's almost like private companies don't want to be seen supporting terrible people who have done terrible things, such as damage a democracy by incompetence and malice. Or encouraged and emboldened extremists cumulating in an attempt to actually harm the leaders of a country, or illegally obtain a gun, shot several people, then was seen associating with extremists who regularly call for and perpetrate violence.

You're confusing what I'm saying. I'm not talking about grading on effort, I'm talking about grading on achievement. Nobody was talking about how much effort went into the app. While I would guess it might've been a lot, I have no clue and I don't care. The question was, do you grade them on what they achieved, or on what someone else achieved on something else that they had no influence over, but which they clearly had no choice but to depend on... regardless of how much effort did or didn't go into their work.
