- Adding a metronome, even at very slow tempos, adds good subtle variation. - Starting from different points in the piece also provides a good subtle variation. - Playing the piece at different octaves.

Looks nice! Have you thought about adding screenshots on the landing page (maybe one each for "Log Expenses", "Tag Expenses" and "Analyse Expenses")? I think a lot of people would like to see what the app might

This question might be too broad, but how would you compare the infrastructure, English level, technical talent, etc. of Rwanda with other African nations?

I really like how you send a link to the game via SMS. May I ask which service you're using to do that?

I think it also depends on the type of operations you're looking to hire. I've found that people with stronger skill sets (for example, engineers), are very difficult to hire for swing or overnight shifts, even if salaries are double or tri

A cross-platform game engine sounds awesome. But I wonder what kind of game can truly be write-once, run-everywhere, and considered "fun" on all platforms. A few major challenges: - Designing a game that is fun and intuitive to play with a

The pressure to censor content often comes from advertisers. A lot of advertisers don't want their ads showing up next to photos with even minimally offensive content. (This doesn't explain everything for Google, but I'm sure it was a facto

This reminds me of stories of kids setting up lemonade stands in Times Square, and even making a lot of money before getting shut down by the cops. I can't find the exact news article, but this one is close ($200 profit/half day!): http://

At its core, our networking layer uses long-polling, but we added several modifications to attempt to keep the requests alive. We also drastically changed the timeout values based on testing directly on the mobile devices. We found that van

I'd like to add that, in practice, socket.io doesn't work well for mobile HTML5 multiplayer games. We found that long-polling requests tend to get dropped without informing the mobile client. Our solution so far has been to roll our own mob

Congrats Anand! I've been working in the crowdsourcing field for several years now (our workers are from Vietnam), and can understand that the profit margins can be very thin for some of the more basic tasks. Drop me a line if you're intere

Thanks, this is the first I've heard of it. Reading through the link, I believe it does a combination of skin tone detection and human body pattern matching. Typically, this solution can detect a fully nude human pretty well, but fails on s

I only know about CrowdFlower/Mechanical Turk at the moment. I know of other teams that moderate photos, but I don't know anyone that's put together a publicly available API/web service for it. Do you happen to know the names of any existin

Thanks. I'd argue that our team's error rates and response times are lower than CrowdFlower, and last I checked, our rates are better as well. We have good technology and an experienced team, which lets us check a lot of photos faster and m

I've worked with a number of companies that have tried an automated solution (including teams with PhDs in Computer Vision), but it's just not there yet. I'm sure within the next 5 years someone will figure it out, though.

We've gone through the same problem. In our case, we wanted our game to resume exactly where the user left off (i.e. no splash screen). Our solution was to use a pure black Default.png, and design our game to have very low upfront load tim

I'm an US ex-pat living and working in a developing country, and I see this situation all the time. For the first couple years, I would lose my mind when it happened. Then I realized that it's not an intelligence or skill thing; it's a cu

"If the founders are the top managers in the company, then the typical "non founder employee ownership" will tend to be between 10% and 20%." Does this mean that all the "non founder employees" would split the 10-20% of the equity?
