Facebook disabled the ability for my customers to sign into my app via their Facebook account. They had given me six days to add a Privacy Policy button into my app (my website has it, and my app's metadata has it, but apparently they

Anytime you want to mute a channel, just click the three dots to the lower right of a video and select "Don't recommend channel"

I'll be interested to see how SpaceX tries to get the word out to rural Canadians once it launches. None of Elon's current companies have had to do any traditional marketing yet, but I suspect that they'll have to for this.

I think what you're missing is that Tesla's Autopilot is not done. It's clearly labeled "Beta" when you enable it in the car. The goal of Tesla's Autopilot is to take you from your garage to your parking space

I recently had a client ask me to pay them with Transferwise. It was a horrible experience. After weeks of trying to get it to work, even with the help of support, we eventually gave up and used bitcoin instead. The Transferwise website w

Most auto production lines don't need EV-size batteries. The post above specifically says batteries are the bottleneck, so it isn't really evidence that something is "terribly wrong"

Reddit just recently announced they're no longer open source [1]. The last source dump could still be used, but I think they choose not to just out of a statement that they're against the Reddit corporation. [1] https:/&#x2

The view numbers surely get used during contract negotiations, though. When a movie's contract runs out and Netflix needs to figure out how much they're willing to bid to renew it, they'll look at the view numbers as one fac

Where does your link say that swastikas are not allowed? Does a swastika "encourage or incite violence"? I'm curious since I don't ban swastikas on my site, although some of my users ask me to.

Agreed. Yet, for some reason, the SpaceX team was chanting "U-S-A, U-S-A" after witnessing the landing. I thought that it would have been far more appropriate to chant "SpaceX"

I think the companies with the "up or out" policy also offer career paths that doesn't lead to management. It's viewed as acceptable to keep getting promoted within an individual-contributor role. They've tried to

The idea as I presented it would require a certain amount of traction to get started. It only would take about a second to look at two photos and tap one, so assuming 30+ people are using it at any given moment, you could get 30 votes with

For example, something that should be 15-2 votes, ends up being 95-82. It's all in the presentation. If you just highlight one image and stamp "WINNER" next to it, most people won't even look at the numbers. Crowning

they'll just sit there tapping the first picture until they reach their target. You'll get lots of votes, they'll just be useless. Some people would do this, but as long as you randomize the order of the pictures their data

You're right, the methodology is similar, just for different goals. That one is trying to figure out which picture to use for your profile, whereas this app is trying to help you in making every-day decisions such as what to wear or w

Every time you upload your own photos, you are forced to rate other people's photos before you get your own response. This is the incentive. Rating photos is very fast -- just look at two photos and tap one. All network lag can be el

I've thought about segmenting as well. For example, teenagers don't want to rate pictures of grandmothers all day -- they want to see people their own age. You could segment it by age and region for starters.

That's closer! But the devil is in the details. They have you looking at one image, reading the question, and rating up/down and even commenting. In the image, they have a full body shot, with simply "Does this work?"

Every time someone uses the service, they spend 30 seconds rating other people's images. There can be a countdown (i.e. rate 10 more to see your results). It would also be important to make it very fast. Cache all the images before t

It does sound similar. Just from watching the video, it looks like thumb.it just has up/down votes on one image, with optional additional feedback. The advantage of having two images is the voter doesn't even need to read a descr

It does seem somewhat similar. However Pickfu is going for written feedback from a one (or a small number) of people, whereas the A/B testing idea would simply compare two photos and aggregate the results within seconds. Pickfu also c

Interesting. Sounds like it does share some ideas, but with a different goal. This blurb says it was trying to get people to complete for a spot on a leaderboard, whereas A/B testing is about helping people make every-day decisions.

Voters just select which picture is better, so the only thing being tested is the difference between the two photos.
