A big problem with these tools is that very few will abandon this place for a slightly ugly replacement, even if it does offer something somewhat useful. If you provide an API, someone might write a script/bookmark that added the percentage

It is. It's a common misconception that peer-to-peer is only about making the handshake symmetrical. Equal contribution of resources is the important thing. In the case of most peer-to-peer technologies, this contribution is in bandwidth, s

It depends on which attack was meant - there are two that come to mind. It annoys me that you're assuring security without being familiar with the systems, and that the legitimate concern expressed above and this response is now at the bott

It's not that you should avoid upvoting what you agree with, just that it shouldn't be the only reason you upvote. A lot of the posts that violate this simply bait existing divisions, which contributes nothing. Perhaps I should add "and peo

This is insane, not because you're wrong, but because popularity and quality should be equivalent for us. We have some of the very best natural language processing algorithms going over most of our posts - and several comments in this post

This is because many people here still vote by agreement, rather than for comments that are interesting, insightful, contradictory, terse, and so on. This happens on a much larger scale with lower-rated comments. I once saw the word "no" wi

Good idea overall. Get rid of the black application names. The are, and will always be, a poor and often incorrect duplicate of the logo itself. Given your content, clearly separate your ads, or use text ads only. The change-background-on-h

First impression, the site has a spammy feel. I think it's the light-blue color, especially of that tag cloud on top, or perhaps it's that your logo seems to yield too easily to the content. (See perhaps movil .be/?s=delicious.p and www.mob

Don't bother clicking - this site has no useful advice, and the humor is very shallow.

Your site is too crowded. Give me one thing to look at on your main page. Right now, you have 'webnotes pro', 'sign up now', the play button, and your 'faster/more effective' drawing my attention, in that order. Read this: http://www.uxboo

Usability: Make the URL textbox bigger and autofocus it on load. Give the OGNX labels a bit of rounding to make them look like buttons. Give them some highlighting when selected. This will keep people who don't know better from getting anno

I agree that if the data can't be applied, then we're satisfying only trivial curiosities. Like if I asked about your gender - who cares? But this data can be applied. Here we're testing the hypothesis of the above-linked essay. It's a poor

I find this hard to navigate, and it seems to mix good examples with bad. I wish that it were organized in some better way. What about this do others find useful?

I don't see the relevance. Social groups enforce norms. This turns out to be yet another way that we enforce our norms, and maintain a healthy community. This leads to great articles and discussion. I think that quips should be modded away

It's good that the name deters. If the site is difficult to use, then only committed users will remain. A socially inappropriate name does this without killing usability.

The question you want to be asking is if it will help anyone. The response to yours is yes, thousands of people. Google for anti-copyright for readings.

Education. Given that parents can more freely choose the curriculum, all sorts of novel ways to educate can find a niche.
