The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

OK, I’[m about to propose a stupid idea that entails a lot of work for you for almost no reward, and I acknowledge that going in.

I use the Best Of list, which is dominated by the US Policy board (which I use) with some representation by the Berkshire board (which I also use) and a rare appearance by Mechanical Investing (which I don’t.) I do not ever remember another, although it might have happened.

The problem is that I don’t travel to a lot of other boards (although I do make use of “Vanguard” boards thanks to your link) but I’m sure there’s a lot which passes out of my view without ever haven’t been, uh, viewed.

So since I understand the concept of “per capita”, I’ll frame it that way. Is there a way to count how many views a post has vs how many recs, and make a “Per Capita Best” list? So if a post is seen by 10 people but gets 3 recs, it might be a better candidate than something on the Policy board seen by 50 which gets 10. And in that way there would be a way to find “worthy” posts without having to laboriously click into 100 different boards to see if there’s anything happening there or worthwhile to read.

As I say I don’t expect this, but thought I would throw it in the bin of Useless Ideas for Never in the Future.
