Take that away from me? Forget it, I'll do any number of occupations where I can earn more.
Yours will work well enough, but I also like to test to see if anyone is actually determined enough to go through all this trouble and carry out their plan anyway. Serious entrepreneurs are very few in this part of the country...
PG, please consider action for #2. Don't go with the "show everyone different rankings" approach of reddit though.
To better detect trolling behavior, I'd focus on responses:
- Content of the responses. Lots of shouting? Length.
- Number of responders. 50x more replies than you would otherwise expect from the thread?
- Depth of thread. Conversation still dragging on after all sane people have left?
- Timing of responses. Heated arguments leave no time for cooling off.
So measure effect of the troll, and your system won't have to try to understand what he's saying.
+ But you were referring to "stupid" measuring based on the submitters data may work just fine.
Not making a judgement on this policy, it just seems fair for people to know before they take the time to apply as a single founder.
What's fundamental is that it is those few abnormal people who change the world 1000x more than the regular person. When you have near infinite money like Google, I'd be very afraid of missing out on those few people who are going to carry the company.
A true visionary.
Anyway, 16th? Great, I'm there.
The obvious method is to use mem-cached, but beyond that, nothing seems to be standardized. Use every trick you can think of.
Will be interesting to see this strategy tested.
Smart way to encourage people to help each other.
The application certainly makes it seem that this is the case.
