PHP is a very bad language and it scales poorly. Facebook makes it work only because they have All The Money to throw at the problem, and now that they've hosed up the IPO they might find the walls start to close in pretty soon.

Your site is also a bad idea on its face because other than the government no one wants to make their stats like this public, but switching away from PHP would make it slightly less retarded

How much is he cyberbegging for again? Is it one mil or ten mil because need to know precisely how dumb this idiot is.

this is actually really cool as a pure design exercise, it's a vehicle that could be shipped fully assembled by a conventional delivery service instead of a cargo carrier but like most design exercises it should probably have stayed as such

That was not me. Perhaps just a person that believes in Statpedia!

Not that all you naysayers aren't cool. If anything naysayers just fuel the path towards excellence. :)

For that crowdsourcing comment, on thinking about people other than governments posting, I do believe people will like to get recognition for their stat research once the system gains some traction through continued development of stat uploading methods, ease of use, and functionality. People get money from ads via uploading their YouTube videos, why would all those researches out there not want the same for their stats?

My friend said not to show any of you my node.js file because he said that you guys are hackers, and are just going to exploit my statpedia system in some way. I personally believe most malicious hacking is directed towards passionate causes of unjustness out there in the world. So... even though you guys might say mean things, deep down I think all of you are lovable teddy bears. :)

If someone wants to show off their numbers they bung them into excel then gently caress around with the sample sizes until they get something that matches what they wanted it to match in the firs place

No one is going to pay money for a thing that will tell them they were wrong

chart lab is coming. Then anyone can play around with anyone's data for more optimal display that can be saved to their account, and then rated by users for best display of a particular statistic. Who said anything about anyone paying for anything? Isn't that what kickstarter t-shirts are for?

It would be nice if there was an actual setup like kickstarter except for using equity raising.

Someone would have to get a bunch of legal/IBanking consulting on some standard equity offering forms to validate equity is actually being given to those investors funding projects.

Kickstarter Clone + Prefab Equity Agreements = New IPO Fundraising Mechanism.
