Yes they use competition, but its not about that, its the context and how it's used that's important. It's a fundamentally different approach, just wait for our next step...

I love hearing this, it's all about a clean experience... Expect more of the same, we'll keep it coming!

They are all about challenges. We use them as Initiation to show who's legit... There's much more to be unveiled.

No worries, appreciate the feedback. Codecademy is aimed at beginners, we're focusing on experienced devs. HackerRank provides challenges, whereas we're promoting interactive competition.

Good question. Top Coder is more of a crowd-sourced approach to solving a problem, where as we're focused on building an interactive community.

Fair enough. We want to complement real life with a virtual environment and make it easier to collaborate with dev's outside your existing network.

Congrats on the leaderboard status.

The vision's to create a global arena, where as devs we can compete and build projects that matter.

Interesting fix. Is the trigger weighted based on request action type or user karma?

I love Jeremie's life principle which got him through the Google sandboxing/blackballing and company failure after passing on the acquisition:

“Everything that happens in your life is for your own good”, “Every challenge makes you stronger”... "All he said was, don’t worry, good things will happen after this tough experience"

In theory all that's emitted is carbon dioxide and water after filter and wet-cleaning stages. I'm sure it's not perfect, though it's lightyears better than most comparables, especially considering the reduction in environmental impact from landfills .

Here's a pdf on the process: http://www.avfallsverige.se/fileadmin/uploads/forbranning_en...

Good idea, lead potential organizers into the next action steps... I'm out in CA and down to help if you want any help connecting with meetups/organizers.

Interesting concept, love the intention.

At first glance it seems OpenHack provides the organizer with the concept, branding, and inclusion on their site... anything I'm missing? what are the next steps?

It's interesting to consider how much of the legislative and voting process actually impacts the act.

A lot of voters probably view marijuana as positive/neutral, though how many were actually swayed by the 25% tax?

In the end there's a larger systemic problem, where you compromise and are either hurting consumers of a neutral/positive product or benefiting as a governmental system by feeding off of a negative product. Either way, regardless of your views it's a forward step for society, though with somewhat perverse implications.

Wow, this is pretty intense. I'm a designer, but even for me it's almost too dense. Would be really if there was a cheat sheet with the main takeaways.

Really interesting in the concept, specific color choices aside, it's a great point that general portrayal really bifurcates states along partisan boundaries when they're really pretty close proportionally... Honestly the whole bipartisan system is a joke, the illusion of choice.
