Comment Re: fake reviews (Score 1) 27

On Amazon, for example, I usually discard must 5* and 1* reviews. 2-4* is where the real details exist, assuming a reasonable paragraph of information.

Applying my human algorithm, anything too short is discarded ("I love it" or "I hate it" or "I haven't used it but my friend said it was great") same with anything too long ("my essay on why this model is the second best out there...").

I'd be interested in a privacy-focused way to filter reviews, but I'd like to somehow provide my preferences or train it myself, for myself.

I hope you run the vent fan while cooking with gas. Dunno about asthma, but the indoor pollution of combustion of any kind is bad. Easy to research it. All "portable" stoves have warnings. The combustion isn't much different between fuel types, when run optimally, yet the resulting pollutants are still bad to inhale.

I voted "yes" because "metaverse" was lowercase. To me it implied the vision of what authors like Stephenson, Gibson, Cline, et al; and even silly films like Lawnmower Man; and early games like Second Life can inspire.

The current tech is puke-inducing, but my vote was for the future possibility of appeal, not the current appeal.

The poll question has no time frame...

This is the real point: it's not about any "side" taken, it's all about the Benjamins. Company decides firing an employee is better for their bottom line.

People might read more into that story to support their own biases, but the one that matters is money.

Want to be a VP? Don't say anything publicly that could cause controversy, therefore hurting profits.
