So how do the creators of this make money from it?

The best solution is one that doesn't infringe on the "correctness" of the game, and it's a simple one. Simply play the game yourself. Send money in, let the system send money back. Do it a lot. Many small transactions. You will never lose, because when the game ends you are the owner of the actual account and won't get screwed like everyone else.

Right? So, perhaps many of the transactions we're seeing go into this are suspect and the total amounts aren't to quite be trusted?

Very nice. It would be great if the JQuery Mobile folks would integrate this.

"3Vs (volume, variety and velocity) are three defining properties or dimensions of big data. Volume refers to the amount of data, variety refers to the number of types of data and velocity refers to the speed of data processing. According to the 3Vs model, the challenges of big data management result from the expansion of all three properties, rather than just the volume alone -- the sheer amount of data to be managed."

I think you're on to something here.

I get 750k+ visitors per month. Nearly all of it from organic search (aka Google). It took years to build up this traffic organically to User Generated Content.

Great Ask HN. Thanks for posting.

I emailed them about this idea a few weeks ago and they replied with this: "Thanks for your feedback - that's a great idea! I'll pass this on to the team so we can look into implementing that!"

Not directly, but I read online articles from newspapers when they are linked to from other things that I read regularly (HN, Reddit, FB, RSS Reader, etc.)

Thanks!

There's also often a difference between what we think we're interested in and what we're actually interested in.

I once read a quote that said something along the lines of "the movies at the bottom of your Netflix queue are who you want to be (Documentaries), but the ones at the top are who you really are (Action Films)".

Why not stick with Angular if you already know it?

"As soon as you are further than 50 feet from your phone, Vybe will begin to vibrate rapidly notifying you that your phone is no longer in range."

God forbid!

It does sounds rather obvious. But, I can see myself thinking about this more consciously in the coming days because of this post.

Shameless Plug: If you enjoy CinemaBuff, you might also want to check out my startup's movie section: http://iknow.io/browse/movies-1/

We offer fairly advanced movie data analysis capabilities, using data from Freebase, Rotten Tomatoes and The-numbers.com.

You can do stuff like this: http://iknow.io/insight/christopher-nolans-movies-are-gettin...

And a lot more. We'd love feedback on how we can improve if you have any, thanks!

Basically just for photoshop. And the (arguably) better hardware.

Install Parallels, run Ubuntu and then ssh to it from the OSX terminal. No more headaches. Everything just works. The sooner you make this move, the better. I wish I had done it years ago.

How easy is it to build nginx modules to accomplish similar preprocessing?

Pretty neat.

Is there support for remote data/search?

I understand the need for responsiveness in this sort of UI, but in some cases you may want more information to be available. For instance, in your booking example, once you reach the step of picking a city it would be a good place to have normal autocomplete kick in that hits the server-side search engine.

Is the original email accessible somewhere after I create my edited version?

Would this not be much more easily solved by reverse geocoding each coordinate and seeing if google gives you a valid address for it?

iOS7 has a swipe from the left gesture that will trigger the back event, for apps that support it. Long overdue imo and it helps some with what you're describing.

Interesting to note that during the Obama years the US has dramatically increased it's import to export ratio.

New York, NY - Fulltime

Hiring: FE Engineer & Head of Marketing/Biz-dev

iknow.io is a data-driven knowledge sharing community for curious people. We take raw data about Movies, Music, Sports, Economics, Politics and more and make it possible for regular people to analyze and extract useful information from it. We also enable them to browse, share and discuss the fascinating insights they discover using our tools with one another.

While there are mountains of raw data out there, only scientists and programmers can currently make any real use of it. Our mission is to make that data accessible and useful to everyone.

Our team has extensive experience working with large, complex data problems and in building and nurturing online communities.We are currently a team of 4 people, and are looking to add 2 more talented individuals to the mix soon.

1) FE Engineer: You have a great design sense and some serious engineering skills. You think the famous quote, "there are only two hard things in computer science, cache invalidation and naming things" is spot on. Whenever you're browsing the web, you're constantly noticing things that could be tweaked and improved. You're a pragmatist who's ok with ignoring IE6 users. You've built complex, popular web-based applications before. You want to join an early stage startup where you can quickly prove yourself and become the FE engineering lead. Our FE Stack includes python (django), javascript (jquery, backbone), html and css. Deep familiarity with all of these is a big plus, but not necessarily required. Experience with mobile app development is also a plus.

2) Head of Marketing & Business Development: You're a natural born deal maker. When you throw a party, too many people show up. You know how to build, execute and analyze the effectiveness of a marketing campaign. Bloggers and reporters know you, and love you. You believe product design and marketing are one and the same. You're ready to join an extremely talented product & engineering team and show them that everything they thought they knew about how to really promote and grow a new site from the ground-up is wrong.

If you fit the bill for either of these positions, and you think what we're working on sounds intriguing, then we'd love to hear from you at jobs@iknow.io. Thanks!

I discovered another approach recently that works great.

If an email needs a reply, I hit reply and save it as a draft.

My drafts is now my one and only email to-do list.

How about an "action" to let me archive/delete a message with just one click without opening it?

This comment reminded me of an episode of Radiolab that I recently listened to. It's about a man named Charles Bliss who attempted to create a set of symbols that would let us think and communicate in a pure way across cultures and languages.
