    Benford's Law

    Benford's law is a phenomenological law also called the first digit law, first digit phenomenon, or leading digit phenomenon. Benford's law states that in listings, tables of statistics, etc., the digit 1 tends to occur with probability ∼30%, much greater than the expected 11.1% (i.e. one digit out of 9).

    I wouldn't be opposed to some sort of sponsored post system (kind of like the ads on Google search). For example, you could pay to have every n th post on the "trending" page of a tribe of your choice (cost depending on tribe popularity) be a post of your choice. I don't think it would be intrusive provided that n was large enough, although I do think these posts would have to have some sort of indicator to show that they're ads.

    (Obviously there would need to be some basic restrictions on ad content to stop people putting NSFL stuff on random tribes.)

    I think NSFL would be better as it's more general than gore.

    I think a lot of the lack of responsiveness is due to the influx of users from reddit. Snapzu should speed up once they upgrade their servers to deal with the new users.

    Or perhaps a tag for "audio" in general (i.e. something that consists of sound only, but isn't music)?

    You must wear headphones/earphones for this. I also recommend closing your eyes and sitting down.

    Comment 0x5f3759df

    Officially the referendum is only on whether or not to accept the proposed bailout. However, the leaders of many of the other Eurozone members have said that Greece will be able to keep the Euro if and only if it votes yes, so there's a good chance Greece will have to leave the Euro immediately after a no vote. The Greek government has claimed that they will have a new deal within 48 hours of a no vote, but it's not entirely clear how they can achieve this.

    A planimeter is a table-top instrument for measuring areas, usually the areas of irregular regions on a map or photograph. They were once common, but have now largely been replaced by digital tools.

    Agreed, Stack Exchange has a similar system and it works very well.

    I strongly support this, privacy is important. Perhaps Snapzu could have HTTPS enabled by default?
