The more I think about this situation, the less I like it. At first I was happy that the service I work on was not banned by this ToS change. Even though we use twitter data for monetisation, we don't insert data into timelines. However, wh

I'm so trying this out on the next person I interview. "You've got 30 mins, see how far you get". ...after 30 mins... "How would you have improved this game?" "Can you make a problem that cannot be solved in this game?"

I've never liked these thought experiments with infinity in them. They always have "and so on" in them. But if you're dealing with an infinite set, "and so on" can't complete during the life of the universe (or well, ever). This in itself s

I can't speak for others, but to me the not-so-obvious was simply understanding/exploring the mental models Charles Munger uses to view and manipulate the world.

Downvoted? Wasn't expecting that from hacker news! :)

That headline is terrible. My take away: If there is an intelligent designer, they'd be an awful programmer.

I signed in expecting a demo. It looks like it activates the service straight away when using the sign in button. I couldn't see any information or way to deactivate it, so I revoked the oAuth access from twitter.

This seems to be a persistent issue with third party developers. If I was bringing out a service to compete for third party developers on my app, I'd add some sort of streamlined approval process. Some way to guarantee that the rug wouldn't

I find the idea of "sociopathic applications" mentioned in the second last paragraph interesting. I wonder what other applications could be included in that. World of Warcraft? I guess even twitter and facebook are in extreme usage. There's

We've been thinking about ways to monetise our own twitter application (managetwitter.com - over 30,000 users high growth) so we came up with this. We think it's an interesting strategy - pay to be put in front of people who might want to f

In defence of new scientist, their articles are designed to give the average person an overview of the latest scientific research, without expecting pior knowledge in the field. They're not for a technical audience wishing to apply the idea

Cognitive biases don't mean that the brain as a whole is irrational. While we can't always stop the cognitive biases from occurring, we can avoid situations where they occur. For example when choosing a candidate for a job you want to make

I don't think they pretend that this is science - it's for a documentary. I also don't believe the point is to "denounce" TV shows. The real point may be clear in this quote from a participant; "I wanted to stop the whole time, but I just c

Thought I'd give people a first hand look at dealing with this type of situation. Would really like to know how other people would have handled it.

I think it becomes most useful if you have an auto-follow back on your account and 200+ following. It starts to become difficult to get much utility from your twitter stream at that point. I'm interested - what metrics would you want for ch

Yeah, I did (with the help here and there from a few people where I work). Glad you like it. Took a stock image for the background built a simple design and focused on making it usable. Everyone I speak to with 300+ following seems to have

It was a tough choice - make the thing run in IE, or spend more time improving the UI for everyone else. In the end I went with the later. I figured most of our audience wouldn't be using IE, and if they were, they probably had Chrome Frame

1) Spend a week building this app 2) Get an article on TechCrunch 3) Profit! :) Went through quite a few iterations on the design. Feedback/improvements are certainly welcome.

Your post happened :) I did see a decrease in bounces, thanks.

Interesting. I had one other report of this so added some better error handling. Will have to log this stuff a bit more.

No, it does not publish anything unless you explicitly say so (double confirm).
