I can see this being very useful for the managers, if the engineers reliably add the labels. In your experience, how do you overcome the problem of "laziness" where the engineers skip over the labeling step?

Re:Amazon Launchpad for Startups on Wednesday August 31, 2016 @05:30PM (#12401651)

I'm interested in the flip side of this. How, as a consumer, can I discover cool new products from startups that Amazon thinks are noteworthy? I wish the also announced an section of the website like amazon.com/launchpadproducts where I could see a list of qualified products.

Re:Who's downloading pirated papers? Everyone on Friday April 29, 2016 @11:07AM (#11596183)

Is it practical and desirable to have it both ways? Be published in a journal but also publish it on your own blog for free access?

So if you publish a paper titled "XYZ" in a journal and also put it on your blog, making sure your blog is visible to search engines - anyone searching for the paper's title "XYZ" will find it for free on your blog?

I'd suggest making that more obvious somehow. Before seeing this comment, I had no idea how to see open tasks that are looking for developers to take.

Re:Show HN: ScholarCheck – Programmatically verify students' emails on Thursday April 09, 2015 @02:43PM (#9349949)

I'd suggest having your landing page explain a few common scenarios of where using ScholarCheck would be helpful. I'm not clear on why someone would want to use this. (or who the target audience is)

Re:Ask HN: Can anyone solve this puzzle without an algorithm? on Thursday April 02, 2015 @02:22PM (#9312474)

Looks like we'd have to install it and play it to know how the gameplay works. Is it based on a well-known puzzle that's already described online somewhere?

Not seeing "Destroy this Site" on the page. Ctrl-F text find didn't come up with anything either.

Re:Open Source OCR in JavaScript on Wednesday July 30, 2014 @11:51AM (#8108922)

It demos well, but then I tried a simple test - a photograph of some text (http://imgur.com/TCnGlZG), Ocrad.js utterly failed at it, almost all letters were incorrect.
