I would argue having significant part of a society whether right or wrong in anyone's view having their thoughts not disclosed and represented to the rest of the society should be worrying for everyone in that society.

The history of our nature has shown self-censorship usually erupts by the most radicals of that group which is an uglier problem to have I would think than allowing their right or wrong thoughts to be out in the light.

The other factor is the rise of internet social media, which didn't exist back then.

This to me only highlights the extend to which we should be worried rather than exaggerating it.

I'm not sure that it's scary. After all, casual racism and sexism used to be a lot more common in the past. Now people are called out and criticized on those. Is that bad?

Isn't it scary or least worrying that 40 percent of Americans reported that they did not feel free to speak their minds? Or are you implying they belong to the group who participated in casual racism and sexism that used to be a lot more common in the past and now people (majority of the other 60%) are calling them out and criticize them on those hence concluding not scary and perhaps good?

I find it scary too.

It is supposed to be giving stats and trying it gravitate as much as possible to unbias news or show news that are biased.

Any one using it regularly for long who can share their opinions?

Well done on deploying your side project. Looks shiny.

+ The quality of the pictures really pay off, how did you get access to such good quality photoes?

- The descriptions are missing for some dishes. Maybe adding some ingridients would help?

- If I like a food I would like to know which resturant makes them well near me. You don't have that feature yet. That makes me think, what is the purpose of foodieadvice? Just national dishes?

- Most likely I as a tourist am looking for the food while touring, doesn't this make more sense to be a mobile app?

Qs:

* How are you planning to make money? Linking resturnats as an add to a dish would be the obvious way, have you thought of that?

* How come you went for cities/countries and not just country?

The relieving joy of visualization. Nice.

Can you give a quick summary of how it works and what technologies and sources you are using for generating the graph?

I will be checking the github.

EDIT: Looking at the source code and resources looks like a lot of manual information gathering and hard coded URLs. Am I right or is there something more automated and smart happening that I am missing?

@whoishiring, you have forgot this month's. Since I'm personally interested to know, who is hiring?

Improbable has SpatialOS with an amazing future. However expect being neglected after the interviews.

I had 2 interviews on Hangout and I've been told we are waiting for our engineer to be free to have the third chat. after almost 2 months they refuse to update me and answer back even though I have been told "we are very excited to continue the process with you".

Thumbs down from me.

I have the same question, and a speculative answer for it. Here it is, because none have been useful enough in long run.

I've concluded this by asking two question:

-Has no one made one? Not true at all. We have always more apps & software in general that you think.

-Is there any reasons for not knowing any good tools and not using them extensively other than they have not been useful in long run? No.

I believe it is only logical to assume that the OP meant this as a fun project and not to earn money from.

Anyone knowing a little of the stock market knows that different factors play the game and not a factor. e.g. maybe if Trump wouldn't have tweeted Intel would have gone down >2.6%
