LOL pirated movies.

How on Earth will he find such things when he's back in China?

I bought that book too. I was skeptical after reading some of the author's blog but decided to take the plunge. Just twelve bucks, so whatever. After reading it I'm certain most of those reviews are faked or the work of the author's friends.

This book is just a slideshow. The chapters are tiny, and there's very little useful content, just a bunch of "do it this way because we say so." No real justification or understanding here. Author hasn't made anything substantial with Django, and his understanding of Python itself is lacking.

People have been request a free sample chapter since the beginning, and he keeps saying that he's getting one ready. You see a free chapter, and you're much less likely to want to buy the rest.

Just import bootstrap.less into your own project's main less file and go from there.

What's always surprised me is people taking the compiled CSS and working directly off of that.

I thought the whole point was that since it's LESS, you can change things up really easily.

Seems like sabotage.

App developers trick users into sending out that garbage.

Create something people actually want and you won't have to spend your life trying to exploit every possible loophole in Facebook's system.

It benefits the Facebook user, which is what they should care about.

It sucks to be small and at the mercy of app developer spam.

Maybe it's time to create real products rather than just exploit the Facebook API to spread garbage?

Facebook is protecting its users from spammers aka app developers.

Well Warcraft is basically Lord of the Rings, so you could just take an existing one and modify it.

Hitler's stuff was way better than this. Search for it and judge for yourself. Not even close in my opinion.

A machine to escape from a locked room.

In what way is this a business?

And how is this bigger than the stuff sold on Flippa?

This is a site with virtually zero traffic.

lol, now define your binomial function.

There's nothing obscure about this. This is basic secondary school math.

If this is off the top of your head, why post the exact same thing to reddit?

"it's also extremely unlikely to be accepted after being deferred" - What are your sources on this?

I meant your essays for other applications.

I'm a recent college grad. I didn't apply to Harvard but did get into Stanford, MIT, Princeton, etc. One thing you learn attending a top school and actually meeting a large volume of admits is that the people who talked about college admissions back in high school (on CollegeConfidential and elsewhere) didn't know jack shit.

Agree with this, except for you telling him what schools he should be applying to. You don't need to spam out applications for undergrad like you might for certain grad programs.

People on here do not understand how strong financial aid at top schools is (or how sharply that aid falls off as you get outside the very top tier), nor do they realize which doors are opened to you.

Deferral is not rejection. Yeah, I know very few people get rejected outright from EA, but I also know people at Harvard right now who were first deferred.

Care to share stats? Have you had your essays looked over by successful admits or other strong applicants? Most teachers are useless for evaluating college essays at top schools.

Harvard has excellent financial aid.

100,000 is already very good.

Anything inside a million at least suggests that there are real users visiting the site.

The sites in the millions basically do not have any traffic. Newly registered sites get into that range from a few random search engine hits even before they have any real content.

I'm sure there are some good ones here, but the few that I checked had Alexa Ranks in the millions.

Sites in that range generally have negligible traffic.

So you agree that you had 150 million users when Facebook banned you? LOL

And hey, I'm not saying you didn't have good engineers or artists. I think Ravenwood looked great and creating something like that is no joke.

I've been in the social games industry for a couple of years now. Zynga may have gotten more attention for some of its negative tactics, but Lolapps takes the cake for shady social gaming.

They consistently provided grossly inflated (by an order of magnitude) numbers for their user counts and revenue. I honestly would not be surprised if they had lied to 6Waves in order get a merger in the first place.

They were almost banned from Facebook for selling user data to third parties.

Recently, they were contracted to help publish a game developed by an indie. As publishers, they got to see a game that hadn't yet been released. They stalled the indie shop in publishing the game while rushing to create a blatant clone. They then ditched the indie shop and released their own clone.
