There are over 1,500 billionaires.

FWIW, 'notoriously sexist' is a mild way to put it. The community is a hate group. Recommending them is like saying that joining the Klan is a good way to get involved in your community.

Just a guess, but that scrolling behavior you hate could be an optimization for the case of two or more people trying to choose a show/movie together. This way, whoever's operating the page won't browse in a way that disorients the audience, but instead give them time to discuss options as they mosey by.

He probably imagines Gladwell's claim to be, and I'm quoting from Outliers, "In fact, researchers have settled on what they believe is the magic number for true expertise: ten thousand hours." You'll note this unequivocally contradicts the claim you just made.

That Gladwell later wrote a much, much less popular article for the New Yorker in which he walked back that totally outlandish claim doesn't justify indignation at people remembering what he wrote.

#1: People should have some form of influence on their own governance.

#2: Any method of assigning relative degrees of influence is unacceptably vulnerable to a corruption by the advantaged party tantamount to a violation of #1.

Side note: Efficiency of law production is not a metric most people will consent to prioritizing above metrics like perceived justice.

Haha, thanks for the closure, that's interesting to know.

"Logical Lodge", "Solar PV", and "Pet Friendly Florist" are the only ones that seem to have been built with any attention to modern design principles. "Foresight Strategist" is ambiguous, in that someone could have thought they were making a good logo while producing it.

The remainder would look entirely out of place in anyone's portfolio. I certainly can't say with confidence that $5 is a bad price for those images, but I can say that $500 would be.

Mirror's Edge has a poor implementation of Nvidia's PhysX, so many people need to disable that in settings in order to run the game properly on AMD's Radeon graphics cards. This could be the case for your rig.

This is an example of a conversation console gamers don't need to have.

Awesome! You're obviously not struggling, but before long it might be worth reworking the site's aesthetic and branding? I honestly don't know at all how much it matters, but I'm gonna throw out some unsolicited design critique in case it's helpful.

- Tragically, King did sink their teeth into the word "candy", so using it in a candy-color outlined gradient logotype strongly evokes mobile games. May not matter, but it sends a mixed message.

- Only use the good photography. If you're shooting in a studio now, you can cycle out all the iPhone shots, which are contributing to a kind of "man-of-the-people candy blog" vibe, versus a "place that will send me awesome candy" vibe.

Images like this: http://www.japanstyle.info/wordpress/wp-content/images//2011... make me curious and hungry, images like this: http://www.candyjapan.com/static/japanese-candy.jpg remind me of being told to check Halloween candy for razors.

- Lead with the photography. Right now, if I don't already have an idea of what "japanese candy" is, I'm not excited. It's cliche, but even just changing the title text to lightly shadowed white and sticking full-width high quality candy photos behind it in a carousel would be way more engaging.

- Consider folding the "Are you still active?" section into the title pitch. If this is a concern people have, you don't want them to have to scroll through the rest of the page to resolve it. Could be worth testing something like "Order now to be included in the July 15th shipment!".

- A more broad observation: The service (including the totally adorable "how it works" comic strip) seems to be pitched heavily towards something like American Otaku culture. In my experience, though, classmates would define social groups around being into manga, or wanting to learn Japanese-- but when a classmate would come back from Japan with some never-before-seen candy, everyone was excited.

That's just my take, anyway. Good luck!
