I don't show the other websites' full recipes on Punchfork. Only the ingredients.

"fried chicken" as a single term wasn't in my db, but I'll add it shortly. Thanks for letting me know.

quant.ly is down temporarily because of the .ly domain issues with LibyanSpider but it'll be back up as soon as that resolves itself.

Posit only runs crosses at a handful of fixed times throughout the trading day. LightPool sounds like it will be a continuous market.

Are you guys concerned about having to replicate Twitter's API infrastructure, even at a vastly lower scale?

(I'm a fan of the product. The world needs more Twitter filtering.)

Agreed about mutual funds.

Hedge funds charge high fees, but a subset of them provide a product you can't get anywhere else: returns orthogonal to other investments. Sophisticated investors pay happily for it. What's being stolen?

That's a great idea -- I'll try implementing it. Thanks.

Yep, just using the plain old Twitter search API via tweepy, with a search term of 'http bit.ly'.

At first I tried indexing all links (not just bitly ones) but the volume of results was too much to keep up with. I'm just using the plain old twitter search API.

And the project was for the Bitly API Contest, so I figured I'd just look at bitly links and leave it at that.

That might work. I'll look into it - thanks.

I'm the developer of Bitly News.

One thing I'd like to add to the site is automatic categorization of links, like on Google News. If anyone has suggestions on how to accomplish that, please comment.

I'm also struggling with intermittent 502 proxy errors on the server where Apache has problems proxying to news.arc on localhost.

The filtering approach (taken by Proxlet, for example) is pretty much the only scalable way to raise the signal-to-noise ratio of a Twitter stream. At first it seems hack-y and inelegant, but by using it in the field I've found that it is super effective.

I use a custom filtering script and a long list of regexes I've accumulated over time, expressions like this:

\b#?NFL|NBA|NHL|World Cup|Yankees|Jets|Pats|Redskins|49ers|Steelers|Ravens|Packers|Reds|Phillies|Patriots|\ Seahawks)\b

Another filter that comes in handy is not('http://). Some Twitterers out there share good links, and that's all.

It should be mentioned that this article is from December 2006, when index funds were less widely adopted than they are today.

The core problem with having humans identify the best sites is that it doesn't scale. It's probably ok for big topics like travel or healthcare, but it shafts those users who are searching for long tail topics.

There is a fledgling Hacker-News-for-quants at http://quant.ly.

The site is still building critical mass, but most of the current users are experienced quants & HF traders. (Disclaimer: I launched the site)

Live demo URL?

I shudder for the personal productivity of someone who needs a realtime version Hacker News.

Great title, but the rant itself is fairly incoherent. What's the main beef? That designers mimic Apple? Good shit always get copied and, on occasion, improved upon. That's how it all evolves.

For the two comments that account for 75% of your traffic, you should have included the text of the comments themselves. I'm interested to read them.

GitHub should integrate this into their site for editing files.

Cut text; reduce choices; only offer one CTA button.

It's fascinating how an Occam's Razor-type force pervades successful web design.

Base jumping doesn't seem related to the article at hand.

Example?

A fun read, but basically another "entrepreneurs are superheroes" article.

It seems unlikely that anyone would get utility out of risk itself, independently of the reward. But many people, given the choice of two scenarios with equal risk/reward ratios, tend to choose the scenario with the higher risk numerator. "Bet big or go home".

Done. I added a 2nd table. Reload and scroll down to see it.

Quora is high quality. You're missing out.
