This reminds me of the joke about the economist who refuses to pick up the $20 bill on the ground because surely someone else would have already picked it up.
The day trader who picked up the $20, ecstatic from his arbitrage win, puts down on the ground a $100 hoping for larger gains.

#342The site is down right now for me. Is this like Patreon but for open source projects? If so, I would love that.

$400k pays for 3 people.. maybe a couple of more if you hire from a cheaper country. If all GIMP needed was a few more developers to be competitive against PS, that would have happened by now. You're seriously underestimating the amount of work GIMP needs to do.. and/or the amount of work that already goes into GIMP.

Realistically though, how many twenty dollar bills do you find lying around on the ground? Zero so far for me in this life... Maybe a quarter here or there.

#345> Industry-specific deep learning interviews and walkthroughs > 1 customer paying $5/mo Sounds about right.
Some zeros are definitively missing. I know a company which paid around 1M euros to get such data ( and some software ) for just one industry.

Yes, people love to laugh at this mythical economist, but seriously, when's the last time you saw a legit $20 bill just lying on the ground? I've never seen this even once in my life. Perhaps this mythical economist is the one having the last laugh.
Laughing a sinister laugh as I super glue a $20 to the sidewalk...
The last one is the best.

FYI Photoshop doesn't work on Linux.. so not so much absurd, as factual
PS CS6 runs well in WINE.

It's also not clear how it will be used later. It could be used to crop/remove watermarks or copyright messages, and I wouldn't develop it if that's its purpose.
I have to assume that this is exactly what this would be for. 9gag or some similar site stealing content en masse from elsewhere and wanting to remove any sort of identifying marks.
:D

Captcha solving is expensive for spammers.
I can assure you it is not. It's about $0.001 per solved captcha with 97% accuracy rate and refunds on failed ones, from the service provider I know of. I've even written one, it's not complicated and not expensive.
