Quora Hackathon prizes seem... a little lacking
I understand it's not about the prizes but I mean, come on. A Quora t-shirt, a Quora book, or a meeting with the Quora founder?
On the other hand, I think Hackaton prizes kind of tend to defeat the community building experience.
I'm going to ask HN: what do you think about this? Is it a thinly veiled attempt by Quora to get people to come up with ML algorithms for them, or is it a way to make the experience about community rather than the prizes?
Or you know, any other thoughts.
