Speaker: ‘Kiwimeter’ is a methodological…, in reply to Tze Ming Mok,
But of course, given that they fucked up the execution, you can’t even really call data coming from the ‘Kiwimeter’ itself ‘good’ – more like a ‘fatally compromised guess’.
It could be the "better than nothing" guess, if there really was nothing already. But there's not nothing...

Speaker: The real problem with the ‘Kiwimeter’, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
so you can never really know how many people took part if it goes evenly either way (if my feeble brain has grasped the process correctly…)
Yup, and if, say, there were 10,000 likes and 10,100 dislikes, it comes to 100 dislikes which sounds really bad, when in fact it's basically even. Certainly not the same as getting 100 dislikes and no likes at all.

I would like to know who these ‘prominent New Zealand academics’ are, so I can avoid them in the tearoom.
Stay away from the prominent tea rooms and you should be OK

Speaker: The real problem with the ‘Kiwimeter’, in reply to Moz,
I wonder if “Balclutha” is the generic for “south of Cuba St” or are they actually aware that it’s quite different from Invercargill, let alone Wanaka or Wakefield.
I feel barely competent to make generalizations about Papatoetoe, much less a place I'm dimly aware exists somewhere around the middle of NZ. Only person I know from Papatoetoe lives in Grey Lynn. And IMHO she's a tribe unto herself.

Speaker: The real problem with the ‘Kiwimeter’, in reply to Jeremy Andrew,
Its the best part of a 2 hour drive from central Aucks and you have to go through Hamilton to get there unless you like unsealed back roads.
That's like claiming that Hamilton isn't part of Auckland. :-)

So this is like a mathemagical technomological version of Paul Henry on talkback?

Speaker: The real problem with the ‘Kiwimeter’, in reply to Moz,
Only 5 out of 8 of those are in Auckland. Raglan is another town altogether, and Balclutha and Cuba St are not in Auckland.
FWIW I don't know what those stereotypes are either. Well Raglan is probably rural coastal types...but the others are a mystery. Not that I care much, because stereotyping like that just puts me off. I couldn't afford to live in Grey Lynn even if I wanted to, but that's my tribe, apparently. Yeah, wrongfooted already, as you say.

Hard News: Media Take: Medical cannabis…, in reply to bob daktari,
So about $700/month for the lowest dose and 3 times that much for maximum dose? With a minimum of $1400 per purchase. Expensive, definitely.
-
up to $1400 for three 10ml bottles
How long does that last? It sounds like a tiny amount at face value, but if it's essentially pure cannabis oil, then it sounds like quite a lot. But I have no idea how much someone in chronic pain would be consuming. I'm guessing that they take it pretty much continuously?

Hard News: Media Take: Medical cannabis…, in reply to Andrew Geddis,
So you just need to make an international flight to the USA once a month as part of your pain relief...
