Unfortunately Yelp is pretty restrictive about working with their review data. (They only give you 3 reviews per business on the APIs, also they're hostile against scrapers)
Hasn't anyone seen projects that do similar things with Facebook/Foursquare/Yelp data?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Life is way too short to spend in soup kitchens worrying about how much and what form of privilege you may have.
Wow. I hope this is sarcasm. I'm sure that those who need soup kitchens don't share your point of view.
Tried a similar idea with a diet-specific set of goals. Aiming for 100% comprehensive tracking of your calories seems a bit crazy to me.
To a certain extent, this how we used to travel back in the day. You hung out in a hostel, had conversations with other travelers (instead of thumbing through Instagram), and let the randomness of other people and life, not apps, dictate your itinerary. You walk down a street, "oh hey that looks interesting", and wander down a quiet alley that leads to cute cafe, or jump in the back of a tuk-tuk headed to a waterfall…
I agree with the substance of your comment, but these types of comments would be much more effective if you dropped the superior air that you treat the people you're conversing with.
This is the plot of the indie movie called "Buggaboo": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0206610/ The main character, who is an Indian engineer living in Silicon Valley, says to his friends : "What if you could randomize your life?". That's all I'll say. It's a good movie. I'm not going to spoil it for you guys.
> It's a good movie. Score 5.2 in IMDb disagrees.
This makes me like them significantly less.
