OK, cool. I think that was mostly it for Pol.is. We’ll just wait for you to go to the training and then ask you all the questions. [laughs]
That’s always good.
Oh, OK, you can independently…
That’s true. There’s going to be trainings. Oh, then one of my last questions about this one is, how do we know that the results are robust to the population that you’re trying to reach with this?
Oh, that’s true.
Yeah, not…yeah. [laughs]
Because a lot of Americans or English-reading people, they do still read Taipei Times. That might be a…
Yeah.
For the AIT one, have you guys thought about doing ads in “Taipei Times” or anything like that?
You guys are going to put a more…
Write their own thing.
It seems like the average amount so far has been three or four votes.
Is that information available to the government when they start voting? If they’re like, “You need to vote seven times to be counted”?
I’ll definitely retweet.
Also, we had a couple questions about the Pol.is results.
Oh, it’s different branding.
Oh, OK, cool.
It’ll be available. For example, if we’re AGOT, we’re not an NGO or anything. We’re just a group of people who are like, “Hey, we would like to help Taiwan.”
I think you’re going to it, right?
To set up, yeah.
Yeah. I’ve actually brought up Pol.is with AGOT a couple times. They went and researched it, but it seems a little technically difficult.
I’m a terrible bureaucrat. If it were me, I would just be like, “I don’t know what’s going on.”
Yep, he is. He’s very independent.
You set up the meeting and figured everything out.
Uh-huh.
Oh. Everyone should be like, “Here is a better one.”
We did our best.
Awesome. Thank you so much!
So your parents were also quite conservative?
And my final question just for myself, so I know that some Taiwanese youth are also transgendered and they have trouble coming up to their parents and I was wondering how personally came out to your parents and what advice you would have for youth to deal with parents?
So you can download it on the internet?
Finally, someone has responded: "I love your dictionary apps. Can you make their databases available for Pleco? (Primary Chinese dictionary app for foreigners)"
Was there a reason you decided on that policy like that you want to make everything transparent?
What can we do about Taiwan’s critical cyber security weaknesses?
What programs are you using for English and Chinese now?
Do you type on Dvorak?
Why did you think climate change was the most pertinent reason to invite president-elect Trump to come to Taiwan (as opposed to say, tech development or security with China)?
Do you think the TPP will still go through or do you think it’s gone...?
How does the US administration affect your job as digital minister?
What was your initial reaction to the US presidential election and how do you think it will affect your current work as Digital Minister?
What is Taiwan’s plan for the future of work in an age of ever improving automated manufacturing and AI machine learning? Could Taiwan introduce a UBI? and we might need to explain to our audience what UBI is.
Next question is "What kind of music do you usually listen to?"
How involved are you in the transgender and LGBTQ politics in Taiwan? Have you been able to speak about these issue with the Executive Yuan or President Tsai?
So you would consider that yourself a feminist or?
Would you consider yourself as a feminist? According to you what is the status of women in Taiwan?
Do you feel like Taiwan’s exclusion from the United Nations have hampered our efforts to contribute to be international society at all?
Are there any troubles you run into in this capacity?
Is there any particular data from Taiwan that you feel would be a special importance to the international community?
First question is from anonymous: In reply to your recent tweet to @realDonaldTrump about climate change, how do you view climate change and what are you working on, or would like to work on, to help?
So as a minister without portfolio do you actually have any sway to making this happen, for example, making the entrepreneur visa more accessible or easier?
