Outdated Facts As A Service

Description

A dark-mode Twitter screenshot shows a verified post by Eric Nakagawa, @ericnakagawa. The tweet reads: "Website idea: you input the year you graduated high school and the website generates a list of outdated 'facts' and concepts you were taught in school that have since been disproven." The footer shows "2:28 AM · 2020-12-07 · Twitter Web App" and engagement counts including "2,016 Retweets", "277 Quote Tweets", and "16.5K Likes". The technical angle is a lightweight web-app concept built around temporal knowledge decay: take a graduation year, query a curated dataset of obsolete claims, and confront users with how fast accepted information can rot.

    this would unironically be a cool website

  3. @thisisluxion 4y

    I'd love to see that

  4. @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 4y

    Why cant I use TG premium reactions? I mean it harms to nobody?

      Linegel probably just forgot to update the group settings. I don't have permission to do that.

    3. @beton_kruglosu_totchno 4y

      honestly hotdog reactoins are only good for group chats, not for channels

      1. @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 4y

        I would have used the heart with flames or something else thats useful

    4. dev_meme 4y

      You should be able from now on :)

  5. @saidov 4y

    For example, what has been disproven?

    1. @Vedqiibyol 4y

      Group work isn't the way to go.

      1. @saidov 4y

        That’s subjective and debatable

        1. @RiedleroD 4y

          no, and yes. Very much not subjective, but definitely debatable and most of all completely context-dependant. Just imagine people are specialized CPU cores - not everything gets faster if you throw more cores at it, but a lot does.

          1. @RiedleroD 4y

            also you have to factor in how well the people go with teamwork - imagine this as cores having different amounts of overhead for thread synchronization.

            1. @saidov 4y

              I know about Ringlemann effect, a well managed team with 5-6 people can be a beast productive compared to solo programmers

          2. @saidov 4y

            Having more cores definitely is better than having only one

  6. @Kryvashek 4y

    Where can I vote for this?

  7. @saidov 4y

    Still wondering what concepts the school teaches are wrong and outdated

  8. @saidov 4y

    Yeah, I’m also wondering what stuff from this meme resonates with people

  9. @Isaonn 4y

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions A good starting point
