The most obvious approach I can think of would be some sort of post-application questionnare and comparing that to the companie's job posting, sort of, stats. Say, the company has …

Garmin Connect is actually fairly decent. Tracks activities (also sleep, which I find pretty useful), fairly detailed stats, little to none social features and a little gamificatio…

You can download one of the dozens of OSM-editing apps like: - streetcomplete - vespucci - everydoor and either add that information yourself or leave a note for other people

>exploiting lonely people >lack of self control Not quite "been there, done that", but anecdotally being lonely/alone accelerates and reinforces any "mental illness"-ish behavior. …

Again, returning to the "it's not the internet itself, but the content on it" thing. Facebook and microblogs use the same infra and can be accessed via the same means (web browser,…

Kinda lame compared to what other people post here, but this is what probably 90% of the "I just use it myself" software is IRL: - the most "impressive" one right now, though barel…

Been there, done that. Nothing beats industrial Minecraft (in it's prime, which it isn't in atm as far as I konw) IMO. Not even close, when considering the ability to add magic/far…

That can be sort of easily explained without selfishness/people being jaded. Anecdotally speaking, I've met all of my friends through school/university/work, and all the friend gro…

Art as a concept is basically meaningless these days. What is art? Apparently, anything can be art, so what's the difference between art and not_art? From my personal experience, i…
