> I suppose osx built-in installation may cause conflicts.

This is a consistent source of trouble when installing Postgres. Usually, this involves looking up the right places to modify the path and sometimes needing to change permissions/ports.

I recommend seeding the song lists from a lot of the popular genre subreddits.

People aren't stuck just copying.

At first, it might be copying. But having something workable that you can tweak can give you a good idea of how something works. After enough time tweaking, you can start building new things based on those best practices/examples.

These sorts of arguments often come up when people talk about which games deserve to be considered eSport-worthy. Ultimately, a game's legitimacy can be based on whether people are competing against each other and whether it's possible to be significantly better than another person or team.

I think the point is that Feynman came later to contribute to Quantum Electrodynamics, the "first theory where full agreement between quantum mechanics and special relativity is achieved."*

Funnily enough, I built something to solve this problem [1]. It's working out alright [2].

It's fascinating what a simple humanizing 'hi' (with a smiley face) can do to the outcome of a game.

It's straightforward enough to match people perfectly based on skill level, but the pseudo-anonymity and high volume of games means that you often never see the same people again. It's easy to abuse them and never even consider your own mistakes.

The best players focus purely on their own play and their own mistakes; they rarely blame external factors for when things go badly. Just what they can improve on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3wqhmG__Io

[1] www.teamfind.com - the idea is to find other real humans to play with that you can relate to (and have fun with).

[2] There's a voting system - 93% of all votes are positive.

Total number of tries. If you've only succeeded or failed a handful of times, you might not be trying enough ways.

Then it's a good thing they're Framebase now.

I don't think anyone was celebrating this news, especially given the lack of details. It's clear that something like what you described is what's going on, but the news is still interesting in that a relatively new startup is able to pick up a previous competitor.

I'm interested to see what they do with the new users.

It's a relatively new program - shouldn't it take 6-8 years on average to see results?

I would imagine it's easier for a site owner to provide this than get everyone to install a browser extension.

What current projects of yours have gained traction and what problems do you really want to solve?

I signed up. I appreciate the free first 50 reviews, lets me evaluate its value and collect some quick feedback to begin with.

So what would you say to those who can't see themselves doing anything else (i.e. running a startup)?

Edit: I suppose your comment is about those still on the fence about making the leap.

Congrats Denny! It's clear that you and your team have put in mountains of work with some amazing attention to detail. How much of the development did you end up contributing?
