Hey Chris,

thanks for sharing the article. I think I spotted a minor logical error in it tho.

> This is because on average, you will gain $1 with every coinflip. For those interested in the maths, you have a 50% chance of winning $2, and a 50% chance of losing $1. 50% * (+2) + 50% * (-1) = +$1.

Isn’t it an average gain of $ 50ct per coin flip? That way the calculation would be correct aswell.

yeah agreed, we will add it. Thanks for pointing it out! :)

it’s a different application

I'm happy, that you like it! Yeah, you are right and thanks for the read. I'll have a look into it

Thanks! MetaMate's HackerNews service relies on hn.angolia.com under the hook, which only returns a maximum of 1000 hits for any given term unfortunately

Hey dyeje,

> I'd like to see the same visualization on posts and submissions

Would you like to see the same visualization for the top-stories feed? If not, could you elaborate on your request?

Hey James, it makes sense! Will be added to the backlog, cheers for the heads up

thanks for the kind words!
