I agree. People use "soft power" as the reason the US should do so many things for free, but the benefits aren't coming back to the US.

The argument against abandoning soft power is that it's going to cost a lot more in hard power to maintain the same status. We'll see how it plays out.

They probably don't care. By the time the pizza signal was out, the operation is over and the dude was captured.


Surprised by the entitlement of some people. This was FREE labor they were providing, it was never going to last forever.


They created their business on open source. Free software was their top of funnel. Free customers become paid customers, and fund the business. They are more than welcome to change this, but there is no way they don't end up with egg on their face, and that's what we're seeing here.

why would programmers be the gatekeepers of truth?

gmail works

How does an app like this work in the beginning when you have no/few users? Were you ranking images yourself or hire people to it?


I got all my friends to go on it and spent lots of time ranking people myself.

I also started things off with "fake" tests so that people had other people to rank at the beginning, otherwise folks would just see a dead app and drop off.

It was a really big moment 9 months in when someone's test completed entirely without me ranking. It was a lot of work & I'm really glad to be at a point now where I get to watch people rank each other without me.


I can't image it is worth much for training. A lot of student submissions are going to be incorrect bull or only worth partial credit at best.


They paid for Reddit content...


save yourself some time and just write your resume in a google doc and export it to whatever format you want


> To date, I've created more than 1,000 open source projects

It's the truth but not the whole truth


It reminds me of graffiti tagging!
