for cookingrobot: Just letting you know that I agree with this comment's point (though not its tone). Could this be made available without all the social and sharing stuff? :) Maybe after you build your user base you can open source it

I may have missed this on the site, but how do you choose a particular frame? I know that's kind of your "secret sauce" but I'm curious.. Frame blurriness, faces and smiles, balance.. what else?

I'm saying skip the reasons--that's too labor intensive. Just give a general idea of how the application was. Why? mostly calibration, I guess. I would find it useful to know how I'm doing within the pool. Even if the answer

It's hard (or impossible) to give detailed feedback to every applicant. But maybe telling them roughly in which bucket they fell ("shortlist", "pretty good", "okay", "stopped reading after 30s")

Well, looks like 20,594 people made it through the qualification round. Higher than last year, when 17,054 people made it: http://www.go-hero.net/jam/13/round/0

I do think there is some "fundamental truth" (whether it was "handed down to us by God" or not. Sure, maybe our math system is not able to fully express that truth (and in fact, we are pretty sure it is incomplete--that

Note that "sum of the numbers from 1 to N" is not the same as "summing the numbers from 1 to N".

Passing judgment based on a "why is ..." auto-complete suggestion seems flawed, as the searches are heavily biased to the negative end.

Erica, I don't know the particulars of your situation, but may I suggest that maybe you're reading too much into (some of) this? I've seen the lack of eye contact problem happen many times, with a mix of genders/races&#x

Rafael, on iPhones you can enable VPN and get over the restrictions. My friends have been using superfreevpn.com with great success. It only involves adding some setting on the iPhone and setting the vpn password (it changes every 24h and i

I actually don't know how to solve it programmatically without doing things that feel nasty. Solved it with pencil and paper, if "pencil and paper" includes asking Wolfram Alpha a few questions :)

Have you thought of selling the business to some other developer? I'm not talking a big acquihire to some random bug company, but putting it on one of those sites to sell other sites to folks like you and me.

I don't think this is right. There are certainly prime gaps that exceed 600. In fact, the higher you up (in the number line), the higher these prime gaps tend to get. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_gap What&#x

I don't know if it is that things have changed recently, but I did see that schools were handing out free money (at least MIT did when I went there). I got sizable debt-free aid + small (4k/year) loans and I couldn't be more

You can still do this, but the mint imposed limits on the number of coins they'll sell you per week, effectively making this scheme not worth it anymore. However, to me it is still the best way of getting all those bonus miles when you

Couple things: - Donors use some criteria to decide which person to give money to. I guess this is more relevant to Kiva than Watsi, where a donor potentially evaluates the project the loan is funding, its potential for success, etc. In rea

Sure... What I meant to point out is that the model is that everyone that appears on the website has already been funded. This is the same model Kiva uses, and the model can be a little misleading for people who think they're actually

"the way Watsi works is that we accept every single patient’s profile before the patient receives care. Just like an insurance company. We’re not retroactively approving things. We guarantee funding. We won’t take a profile down until
