Torrents

Oh cool...thanks jmmcd.

Any idea if that article is still available? Or do you have any good resources for implementing FTT? I'm working on a project to compare sound clips for similarity, but I haven't grasped an effective way to accomplish that yet.

Definitely...there are lots of forums I used to visit that I've now abandoned, since the subreddit for that topic is so strong, active, useful or well moderated.

Additionally I've heard this complaint so many times, but I don't find Reddit ugly at all. What do people want? Tag clouds, gradients and flash everywhere, or what? What's a less ugly forum/comment layout than Reddit?

Very well said, thank you for the response. It's disheartening to read people act like the prospect of a future in federal prison (over a "crime" where no one was hurt! And where the "victims" (JSTOR) don't even want prosecution!) is a negligible factor in pushing someone into suicide.

Arguably life in our modern prison system is one of the most horrific experiences you can have, some of the most miserable living conditions on the planet. The effect on your psyche of having a group of highly empowered, well funded government agents seeking zealously to place you in that cage over what is really a silly reason cannot be overestimated.

Yes it's tragic that Aaron committed suicide. But the real tragedy is that we as a people let our government cage non-violent offenders in a veritable hell all the time for stupid stupid reasons. It's an atrocity that it happens, and for MIT to take a position of neutrality on whether or not a human should be caged up for downloading documents is at the very least condoning that atrocity.

It looks awesome, however I'm very hesitant to download free apps at this point. I would rather buy something for $5 or $10, because then I have more confidence I'm not going to have popups or have to endorse or recommend it for rewards or something.

I still don't mind in-app-purchases. Free always sets off warning bells though.

Because it's not Facebook.

Any idea on price yet?

Oh man...that's hard to do though. Deleting photos isn't for the faint of heart.

A small typo under the Crawl Data section:

"Statsgram will crawls your site each day," should be

"Statsgram will crawl your site each day,"

Responding to trolls probably does more to decrease the quality of discourse than the original troll does, since those typically get voted into oblivion relatively quickly.

Tossing in a belittling jab at another website to boot doesn't help either.

Hi rianelli, if you don't mind I'd love to take you up on your offer and bounce some questions off of you. I can be contacted at hn.torvid at recursor.net

Thanks!

Are you...saying that dugmartin is spamming?

Maybe because that makes it easier to put it online and link to it from a blog post, and raise awareness of the game. Blog posts can be both useful for other entrepreneurs as well as great marketing.

So did you make it onto kickstarter? You just spent the £25k out of pocket for the prototype?

Ugh...this reminds me of the last Apprentice I watched where Trump asked everyone on one of the teams who their weakest player was. None of them wanted to answer but they all ended up naming Gary Busey. Staged or not, the entire exchange was incredibly awkward and seemed like a sadistic management style. Busey afterwards was hurt and withdrew socially.

Similar to what others have said, I think any feedback given in public needs to be productive and very careful to avoid shaming people. Pointing out that Ted missed his target and finding out why in the meeting is uncomfortable, but it's not labeling them as the weakest or as a serial failure.

I would probably ask Ted in the meeting why he missed his target and what tools or resources he needs to not miss it next time. The meeting is the perfect time to find out what resources or assistance others can or should provide to hit the goal.
