From daz's FAQ: After several positive edits you will reach a level in which you can also upload pictures, add reviews or even add samples. Who decides what is a positive edit? I'm assuming you started off with a few people who approved c

Feature Extraction and Image Processing looks pretty good. Do you think a beginner would be able to follow it without reading Digital Image Processing first?

Good question -- I'm interested in detecting objects in images. For example, whether or not a car is present in a photo.

Funny -- I've been to both the Philly.rb meetings and the new Build Guild meetings and had no idea that this even existed. Is there any type of consolidated event site for these things? Regardless, I'll see you there.

Two things: 1) I use an iPhone todo app ( http://www.appigo.com/todo ) to jot down ideas as I get them in a "Projects" category. This lets me quickly browse through them at a later time. You can add notes too if your ideas are elaborate and

Raffi you have a great story and one I hope to emulate one day. Best of luck with everything and congrats on your recent acquisition.

Speaking of iterating often, how's your project coming?

I'm leaning towards something to do with online collaboration, though I'm still working out the details and am open to new areas. I think Twitter is kind of stupid too.

Micah, thanks. My original thought process was that it'd be better to pick a long term ambitious project and launch a minimum viable product for it in two years (not a full project like I think I implied in the original post). As you and ot

Thanks. I'm halfway through Four Steps to Epiphany. Great book--made me realize I've been doing a lot of things poorly. I can't tell you how many times I've spent months working on an app with high expectations only to launch it and realize

Peter, this is really good advice, thank you. I'm not sure where I'll be in three years, but it does help to have a direction. I am married and we do want kids around the same time so that would obviously complicate things, which is partly

Thanks, this is great advice and likely what I'll wind up doing.

Yes, primarily to learn Rails, among other things. Before I only had limited web development experience, mostly with some simple PHP sites.

Related question: What happens when funded startup decides they want to completely change directions? For example, Flickr was some sort of online game at first, right? Assuming they had investors, is it as simple as saying to the board of d

Like Joel said, this is largely a product of variance. Imagine a million monkeys in a coin flipping tournament where only the monkeys that flip heads move forward. Eventually there will be a handfull of uber-successful coin flipping monkeys

Not a bug as far as I know. Sometimes the numbers just works out that way.

Quick update: There was a problem with the script which caused it to go down for a few hours. Should be fixed now. Graph might look a little off for a few hours until the logging catches up.

I totally agree. This is mostly meant to be a Minimum Viable Product. The feedback I get here will determine what to add in the future, if anything.
