The experience getting it into the app store was actually quite pleasant. The app only got rejected once because it didn't have a privacy policy. After I added one ( https://github.com/joelmartinez/Khan-Academy-for-WinRT/commi... ), it got

Wow, great discussion on risk. The only thing I would add to the discussion is that before you try to model risk, you should read 'The Flaw of Averages', by Sam Savage - http://flawofaverages.com/ Put simply, any real risk model should pr

Ended up picking google 4-1. I'm somewhat of a bing fan in the sense that I find them good enough for most searches. So I was a bit surprised that the results ended up skewing in google's favor ... guess that kind of backfired for them :-P

It wasn't a comment on the ER doctor's ability to extract value out of wikipedia. It was a comment on the fact that Wikipedia is the wild west. Far as I can tell, most erroneous edits on popular subjects are quickly caught. But I wonder how

It's all about optimizing the conversion pipeline. You have to have stats (GA, Flurry, etc.), you have to study them, and you have to experiment. At the end of the day, you gotta pay the bills.
