This makes it sound like they're just straight up lying. It's been pointed out several times that upshot was developed before the announcement of the competition and multiple developers have analytics to prove their video/app wasn't viewed once, let alone twice. They ignored all the questions/concerns people had. I'm incredibly disappointed with this announcement and I did not even participate in the hackathon.
- minimaxir 13y agoThis isn't the final call; it sounds like they are still investigating the top 5.
- zaguios 13y agoI didn't get that impression, "all of the final 5 teams met the eligibility requirements specified in the Official Rules". They did mention that they are doing a more "in-depth" review, but they should have been immediately disqualified by the fact that it's clearly stated you must start after October 25th.
- colabi 13y agoThey're stuck in a hard place and an internal investigation is probably happening. This story will get worse before it gets better. I have a feeling that the story that they gave their partners a pass on the rules has credibility. Which means if they retract the 1st place, they get sued by them. and they get sued for essentially fixing the competition. The easiest out they didn't take. And it begs the question as to why
- colabi 13y agoIt got worse. healthcare.love was in the salesforce pocket too. Patrick Hoge reported. He's doing a great job and is going to run down finding all entrants. also, it's worth looking into 3rd 4th and 5th now.
- forrealz 13y agoWho were the developers that have proof their app was never reviewed? I'd like to talk to them and see the proof.
