    Confession: I'm a political scientist, I have almost no idea how the social choice mechanisms of a caucus actually work, and today will not be the day I rectify this gap in my knowledge.

    remember that * author of "the book of virtues" was chronic gambler * author of "the road to character" divorced his wife for his younger research assistant * most of moral majority 80s/90s personalities had all manner of skeletons in closet

    And.... it's 3PM so these are our final numbers for Iowa. Remember to criticize us if someone other than Sanders wins since we had Sanders as the most likely winner, and also to criticize us if Sanders wins since we had him at <50%.

  9. I've been pleasantly surprised by the reaction to this. Not only did it not result in any loud anger directed at me, but I've had a few private messages saying it spoke to something they've been trying to grapple with lately, too.

  10. 5/ ...but lately I've been wondering if it's an increasingly *necessarily* exit plan — an attempt to execute a discontinuous jump to a different point in solution place that sheer technical inertia otherwise denies them.

  11. 4/ And those "too computationally expensive" decisions accumulate. So, yea, maybe 's Blue Sky initiative is just a misdirection meant to bleed off some pressure...

  12. 3/ Yes, many are filtered out by a business model that demands ever-increasing amounts of user attention for commodification and resale. But a huge amount of it is probably also: "that's too computationally expensive given an arch that needs to minimize costs to support free."

  13. 2/ There are countless ideas on how to improve twitter and — at least in the case of outsiders — they generally ignore twitter's data architecture. Which also ignores the basic fact that there are a lot of smart people there — they've probably had those ideas, too.

  14. 1/ Still cooking take: At twitter-scale, the business model binds the data model tightly and with strong induced path-dependencies.
