Well, I think it's unfortunate that all opinion polls work that way. A small sample size can skew results in one direction. The objective is to get to a sample size as large as possible. I hope this goes in that direction.
No, most opinion polls don't work that way. Typically polls a) try and sample at random rather than self-selection and b) ask demographic questions that allows sampling to be adjusted to ensure it is representative.
Hyundai owns 33% of Kia and Kia owns parts of some Hyundai subsidiaries. Hyundai itself is a massive conglomerate. But yeah, for practical purposes they're the same company.
A few months ago i painstakingly submitted a product of mine to many places listed here. It was 100% ignored while many sites asked me to pay a price so they can post about my site. The general modus operandi is to claim "we get lots of submissions. We can move you up the queue list if you pay $$$."
I agree these sites need the revenue. Just don't claim to be torch bearers for the startup community. Be upfront like ProductHunt which says pay us to get promoted. No harm in that.
India has an often criticized reservation system where 50-60% of seats in colleges/universities are allotted to people from lower castes. This puts enormous pressure on economically backward kids from upper castes who have to score upwards of 98% to get admitted whereas a person from a lower caste can get admitted by scoring just about 50%.
Looking this up on mobile. I hope you're considering making it more mobile friendly. But then I'm not sure how many would prefer composing newsletters on mobile. Good luck though.
“The new device, based on the traditional black-and-white X-ray, incorporates particle-tracking technology developed for CERN's Large Hadron Collider.”
Now i have an easy to understand example to make my skeptical friends understand how CERN’s research benefits us in myriad ways.
There is a distinction to be made on the results of the fundamental research itself, and then the sideproducts of the engineering that enables that research. From the sounds of it, this Xray thingy belongs more in the latter category.
Your problem will be, that it is very easy to argue for somebody knowledgeable in the field, that this can be done completely without CERN’s research. Actually, similar stuff has already been done.
Are you referring to the stripped down SGML, RPC or hyperlinks? Or the combination? Because all three have been around much before. In many flavours and mixes. The WWW variant’s adoption had more to do with politics than scientific/technical merit.
