These are very salient points, especially given that right now many of the advancements (from a technical and methodological perspective) established from GiveDirectly's early Keny…

They also have one in Austin, but the greater issue here is that the stores can't help customers as much. Specifically, in order to comply with state laws the stores can't talk abo…

Thanks! Here's the specific section on backbone from page 11: Backbone.js is a great example of an abstraction pushed too far. While we initially liked the ease of wire-up, in prac…

Eligible is a Health Information API that launched last summer (YC S12, I think). This sample app is a basic demonstration of the API's ability to instantly show patient eligibilit…

Hany, well done! This is one of the best hacks of feed gaming[1] I have seen. Keep it up! 1. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/feed-gaming/

Yup, just got the same email. I really wish they had linked to the blog post and explained the situation in more details instead of using the standard email template. It's interest…

This may not be a comparable example, but the TexasTribune is a digital only publication that focuses on Texas news and political coverage. They operate on donations and through re…

This is a pretty good intro to DFTs. I was excited to see that others were also motivated by the connection to music and math! I looked into this quite in linear algebra in college…

This is awesome! Please do open source it! I looked into doing this once before for ioloop, but ended up implementing IDLE with Twisted's twisted.mail.imap4.IMAP4Client instead. Th…

It's totally doable. You'll probably start off with a lower hourly at first, but you can quickly establish a higher rate and then eventually a consistent weekly as patio11 describe…

Linear Algebra was at the core of almost every math and cs course I took. I ended up taking several semesters of it and by the end we were approaching highly relevant problems in s…

Also, if you are interested in learning R while you build your knowledge of probability and statistics this is pretty good: http://ipsur.org/

This really is a fairly thorough overview of an undergraduate statistics degree. It reminds me a lot the summaries I would write before exams. The first few sections covering proba…

Any chance you'll have an API for this in the future? I can see amazing potential for new business and experiences to be build on top of Exec. If nothing else, in some sense you ca…

This is one best directions with the available technology. We're trying to do this at Hoot with what we call "Smart Chat." We've taken the markdown editor and adapted backticks (`)…

Another good book is "Mathematical statistics with applications" by Wackerly et al. It's focus is more on the application of the toolkit from probability, but about half the book f…

It is unfortunate that the content isn't available outside of iTunes. Thought, if you're interested there are some other pretty good intro probability courses online: Math and Prob…

This is a really great addition to iTunes U. Skipping through the videos, the course appears to give a thorough treatment to the theoretical background of probability. I haven't se…

This is a great idea! You may want to use `git ls-files` instead of `Dir[' / . ']` in order to consider only tracked files inside the directory.

Lithium is a really great option. It forces you into a good set of rules to develop your app rapidly while not sacrificing quality. It integrates really well with both MongoDB and …
