How can you change statistics like number of votes without reindexing? I don't see how that is possible unless that field wasn't indexed.

Download bitcoind and learn to use the json interface. When a buyer comes, generate a new wallet for them. Poll the wallet to see if payment comes. That's how you accept bitcoin payments.

The appstore has to be maintained true. But asking app developers to take a 30% cut to their profit margin feels like too much to me.

No single heuristic is perfect. How about you tell us your 1 flawless method? Just because I used 2 different signals to prove to you that the method doesn't generate a lot of false positives, doesn't mean that looking at amazon links is a

I don't think it generates a lot of false positives. Obviously not every amazon link with an affiliate tag is spam. Take a look at how many of the accounts there solely spam affiliate links from Amazon, are from a Twitter account, and repea

An easy way to find Pinterest spammers. http://pinterest.com/source/amazon.com/ I think the spammer moved his affiliate tag to womansdesign-20.

Google has already decided that anyone who tries to take the content and launch a SO a like is going to get penalized to death, so good luck on forking if they go evil. Did they really say that? I am a bit skeptical that they would do tha

I found it interesting to read the rebuttal from someone involved with EE. It is sad that so many people downvoted this comment because they dislike EE though, making the comment annoyingly hard to read because it is grayed out.

This is unfortunately untrue. Bitcoin has been subject to huge 30% swings in a matter of minutes.

CloudFlare randomly goes down for me. Just last week, their anycast servers in Chicago blocked all traffic and said my server was down even though it wasn't. It took them about 3 days to fix it, so I am a bit skeptical about using them in a

Most start-ups have a wide pool of "customer" bosses. If a few of them are uncooperative, they can refuse to serve them. Employees can be ruined by the idiosyncrasies of a single boss.

They withheld about that much money from me on the second time I reached the $100 minimum payout threshold. The way Google treats publishers is appalling.

The exclusive networks you can find simply by googling. They all require a large amount of unique visitors (1 million+ per month) and not controversial content like adult material or guns.

I had the same experience with Google Adsense. Once I started making money from it after 8 years of being under the $100 minimum payout, they disabled my account on the second payment. I received the same reply as the person in this story.

Why should I give people my bitcoins? Why don't I just make a submission where the first people to upvote my story gets more of the profits while I collect a 10% service fee?

The entire purpose of Pagerank is to estimate the results you desire the most. Most people here desire the original article instead of a summary on Google+. You are telling everyone they are wrong and pagerank knows better than them what th

Take it from someone who has bought and sold on Ebay recently. The point is that you won't even be selling at the cost of the fees. Needing to make at least 10% profit due to Paypal and Ebay fees is a huge obstacle unless you are buying in
