I find this line of thinking similiar to copmanies with "innovation" officers. That is, having an employee who is in "charge of" innovation implies all other employees dont?
There is a slight bug on the interaction. When you set P=Q or for example you can't get the one P at the top and Q at the bottom. The lines disappear.
Basically you need the "infinite/zero" point to compensate for a situation when you have two points completely perpendicular to the x-axis. AKA it is not intersecting a third point. So it intersects this special "infinite" point.
And conceptually why you need this "infinite" point is that without it you can't add points together properly.
Say for counter argument instead of doing this "flip or mirror" across the x-axis (in the interaction it is the red dot appearing). And instead the red dot just appears on the same side as the two points being added on the curve - without the flipping.
If P1+P2 = Q instead of this Q' that is flipped.
And P2+Q = P1
If you try and add P1+P2+Q you would get either Q+Q or P1+P1 depending on if you did (P1+P2)+Q or adding up P1+(P2+Q) which are not equal.
so you need this red dot flipping thing happening in the interaction. However, if you have this flipping that means P1+P2 = Q' which is the mirror flip of Q.
So Q'+Q need to equal this special infinite/zero point to ensure associativity works.
user clicks Yes. new one pops up
Show Results (button) or Guess which was more popular: Yes/No. This is more simple than guessing a percentage. but both could work.
So you then show the results and then you show the "meta" results which is like a "line" that is labelled where it shows what others thought of other people. The dead simple idea is a nice draw, this like...ah hah learning moment to learn or see more about the world I think is maybe a nice feature to add. to get more people to come back?
feature request? dumb question, but can you add underneath or after you click your vote and before you show it. can you ask "What do you think most people answered" for that question.
It is cool to see the distribution of yes/no. But maybe when you do that you can do a kind of....how far off was i type result that lets people learn about their...biases? or just a fun surprise.
you didn't read the part where, taking an offer without inspecting the offer could be dangerous. They gave the (real?) example of inspecting the offer and discovering it was much more complicated than previously thought.
just another user. fun app, feel like theres something here. as with all note taking apps pen and paper for me are just so hard to beat.
