I literally just found some UX in the trash.

This is a great idea. I'm curious to see how it evolves.

Can only speculate, but that doesn't sound out of the realm of possibility. The possible gains due to all the loopholes are a big part of the problem. Seems that businesses like Facebook are incentivized to do the wrong thing. But they

Well of course they were aware. And the Commission should have been aware. Here's a quote that stuck out to me: “Consumer communications services: the Commission found that Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp were not close competitors an

If someone answered no to the other question, that would mean: "No. I do not regret taking investment." If they said yes, it would mean: "Yes, I regret taking investment." If somebody answered no to this question, that w

I find it interesting that this is the first answer, so I started an alternate Ask HN: Do you regret not taking investment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14258278

That's true - as soon as you close one option, people look for the next one. I'm still not in favor though. I just feel like it's an over-the-top response that potentially fails to address the real problem. It won't be t

This Deadspin article does a solid job explaining it: http://deadspin.com/draftkings-employee-with-access-to-insid...

Oh.. right. I think we're saying the same thing then ;)

This whole situation was bound to happen. As others have pointed out, this is an unregulated industry. I think DFS as a whole will be better off as a result this - since they'll be forced to securely store player pick data that can&#x2

Not true. If anything, it's even more useful than the article makes it sound. If you knew absolutely nothing about sports, but had access to this data and a fairly basic understanding of probability and statistics, you could use this d

The controversy isn't about knowing player price points. That's like the gameboard and it's known to everyone. It's about knowing ownership percentages - which is the overall percentage of lineups in a contest that draft

I can't help but notice a market opportunity evolving out of the need to moderate comments. I imagine a service where sites could hire cheap, proven moderators - and pay based on the number of comments needing review. Two-sided marketp

I sympathize with how you feel, and I think some of these responses miss the point and are kind of inappropriately harsh for someone asking a perfectly legitimate question. I know plenty of CS students/grads feel the same way. I certai

As someone a decade older than you with a CS degree who has yet to ship a mobile app, I salute you nshen! Keep doing what you're doing. As for the game, I have only positive things to say. I think it's very well done overall. The juggling/s

It was actionable for me. I just rethought how I was collecting feedback, which I was doing right before I saw the post.

I disagree. Though maybe there isn't all that much here (certainly nothing new/groundbreaking), I still think it's useful advice coming from somebody who knows what they're talking about. Maybe it doesn't deserve the all the upvotes/attenti

Haha damnit I wish Jason had posted this a day sooner, as yesterday I created a few threads asking people how much they'd pay for a tool I haven't built yet. How do you balance this with the principle of not building something people don't
