Banding together to boost an online business's reputation really should not be cause for filtration. Fake accounts, bots, lies, and attempts to bury negative information are problems. How do you algorithmically distinguish between the two

That review that was filtered contained swearing. Does Yelp filter reviews like that? I'm sure there are kids that use the site, so that's a possibility. You need to find more cases like this. Just one data point is not enough to draw any u

I believe the way the algorithm works is it looks for how credible a given complaint is based on many factors. If I had to guess, they'll look at the age of the user account, how active it is, how many other reviews are written by the user.

There are 3 major CAs: VeriSign (47% share), GoDaddy (23%), Comodo (15%). So would they remove VeriSign or GoDaddy? I really doubt that, those CAs hold way too much of the market. I guess the question is: would those big CAs make the same m

My first gut reaction is: this sounds wrong. I don't understand how you're sending more traffic, although your intentions may be altruistic (solve the major problem of how to get people to test your site out). If you're just trying to convi

Agreed. I was born and raised in a Christian family, attended church every week until I was about 18 years old (and after my parents sent me off to a private Christian school, where I was fined $20 for skipping chapel amongst other things l

Reminds me of a lecture given on Beginner's Mind that emphasizes the pitfalls of intellectualism: 'Can we look at our lives in such a way? Can we look at all of the aspects of our lives with this mind, just open to see what there is to see?

Don't these tech heavyweights feel embarrassed that their time is so meaningless on this site? 2.75 per 10 minutes for reddit cofounder? Hell, Josh Greenberg was on there earleir today for 2.50 per 10 minutes. I know it's not clear on the

I can confirm this works, just grabbed a coffee. I'll donate $10 when I get back home. Edit: donated using my iPhone. Neat project, great hack.

That was my original goal. I'll get them on board eventually. I think a lot of charities stand to benefit from celebrities connecting with their fans.

Tie in Airbnb recommendations based on how long you're staying, and this is possibly the cheapest (and most exciting) way to travel around.

Thanks, I'm still working out the kinks in some of the bidding--I think the problem happens when people bid the absolute minimums and an identical bid is placed, then nothing happens. I'll look into this and get a fix, since this isn't the

It's interesting to note the pattern between EJ and Troy: in both of these cases, the renters were not home, which means they were treating Airbnb more like a "vacation rental" service. They both had a gut feeling that told them the rentee

I actually thought that Airbnb were having their PayPal moment--where PayPal actually realized it was not in the business of payments, but in the business of anti-fraud and risk management. Then I realized this is probably a bizarre one-off

Airbnb has settled these cases before, as another commenter noted here. I have been completely sympathetic to EJ all along, but as I read more of her interview comments, I'm starting to wonder if there's even anything Airbnb could do to hel

I disagree with what you're saying about EJ having a PR person nudging her. But I agree with the rest of your sentiment because I got the same vibe reading her interview comments. I'm wondering if Airbnb sensed this from their interactions

How does this mean Chesky lied? If they moved Faith Clinton to another county where she had warrants out for her arrest, then she's still in custody. That hasn't been confirmed. Brian wrote the response on Thursday, but the article doesn't
