Resolves to YES if at the end of February I am no longer frustrated by all the various lag issues Manifold is currently subject to. It doesn't have to be blazing fast, it just needs to be comparable to other websites like Twitter.

RIP lol. xD

Why not pick objective criteria like page load time instead of buying shares and resolving subjectively?

@PatMyron Because what I care about is whether it annoys me.

Also I just placed a bet and it didn't show up for 5+ seconds, so I don't think there's any significant concern that I'm gonna resolve NO just because that's how I've bet.

Could try to define what counts as annoying you with something like - for example, if I were writing it I might try something like: At the end of February, you'll time 10 actions (e.g. opening a market, making a bet, making a comment) and if at least 2 of them take over 1 second to complete then resolves NO.

Unlike Pat, I'm not worried about bias here, it's just better if the market is on the same page about what is the threshold for annoyance.

predicted NO

Hmm, well the other market resolved YES, but I think my standards are a bit more harsh. It still freezes on my as soon as I try to open all my notifications, which is not really what I think of as "fast".

no way. they can't do it. impossible. totally unviable. in fact, fast code doesn't exist. refactoring is a psyop by icelandic fisheries that was dreamed up when they invented graphics processing units to steer their boats in 2012, allowing 3d rendering for the first time in human history. any time you write fast code you are contributing to overfishing Iceland's seas. also nobody has invented profilers yet so it's impossible to measure time. because of this there's no way that manifold could be sped up. can't be done.
