Malp··on Nuclear – Popcorn Time for music
Didn't we already get a "Popcorn Time for music" (which didn't use legal sources) with http://aurous.me/ ?
Malp··on MaxMind trademark trolling – they own “geoip”?
They do in fact own the term GeoIP (http://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?Search_Arg=Ge...), so it looks like renaming and migrating to a new domain name is your best option.

To anybody who's interested in these blog posts, I highly recommend checking out the Rainway Github: https://github.com/RainwayApp
Malp··on Ask HN: What are you working on this weekend?
I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, sorry- the issues are crawled based on a preconfigured list of beginner-friendly tags (see https://github.com/MattAlp/IssueHaven/blob/master/config.py#...).

They're currently sorted based on repository popularity (in stars), issue age, and total comments (I'm working on implementing a better ranking system).

How would you propose that I gauge difficulty/effort across board for the aggregated issues?

Malp··on Ask HN: What are you working on this weekend?
I'm working on an app that matches up new contributors to open source projects who need various grunt work / simple programming done (https://issuehaven.com). All criticism is welcome :)
Malp··on Show HN: Issue Haven – a collection of open issues for newcomers to Open Source
Hi HN,

I'm a high school student who found myself struggling to find places to apply my programming skills aside from simple projects and CS contest problems, and ran into many people who faced the same issue.

In response, I made Issue Haven over the course of the past few months to automatically curate a catalogue of beginner-friendly issues from large projects on Github (i.e. cerbot, Ansible).

This is my largest project to-date (and Show HN) so all feedback is greatly welcomed!

Malp··on Ask HN: What are your favorite tech sites besides HN?
I'm very partial Ars Technica- they cover a fairly diverse amount of content with plenty of insight, and have led to lots of TIL moments
Malp··on The Importance of Deep Work and the 30-Hour Method for Learning a New Skill
This is a great idea, good luck!
