Sadly most of the suggestions are either infeasible or based on wrong assumptions... or both. Nothing I haven't considered or thought about yet, though.
Tiers sound cool at first but then you realize it's basically the same as just rounding pp more. For instance only looking at how many thousand pp someone has. ExGon would be the only tier 10 player. hvick would be tier 9 along with _index and WubWoofWolf. Tier 8 would go down to rank ~25. Okay, maybe the tiers would have to be a bit denser at the highest ranks, but that's the gist of it.

I like how this dt https://osu.ppy.sh/s/39889 is easier than gangsta with a whole star by your diff calculator (^: no there is nothing wrong with it :^ ) absolutely .... 2 clears vs 4 1miss runs /slider breaks (S) sure sure

Feel free to make a better difficulty calculator. :^)
Oh wait, I forgot that you can't. (^:
I find it unbelievable how so many people can not comprehend what it means to post feedback at the appropriate place (hint: in the official forums) and then act all high and mighty on top of that.

Do converts from standard to other game modes happen when the map is submitted (and the converts are also downloaded when the map is downloaded) or client-side? Just asking out of curiosity.

Client side.

Hi Tom, I've used your skin (the one linked on your profile) for the last day and I was wondering if you use the one with or without followpoints? Or depends it on the mods you're playing?

I'm not using follow points.

Maybe this was asked before, my bad if it was. But anyways, if I get pp but my rank doesnt update and I don't get the chance to make another score to get my rank to update, will it update on its own the next day?

It'll update eventually, yes.

Do you think osu!mania has the potential to surpass osu!standard in the number of active players?

I honestly don't see it happen at the moment. There would have to be a very significant influx of mania players, a few times as much as there currently exist.
That being said, if some nice features get added to mania and things get more polished, maybe such masses will be attracted?

Hi, I was wondering if I could help you making the new ctb algorithm by telling you what kind of patterns/maps are really hard etc... but maybe you already know all of this. I ask this because of this http://ask.fm/Tom94/answer/128116673742#_=_

I probably won't spend much time with CtB in the near future aside from fixing things like Easy DT on banned forever. I already revamped the algorithm recently. Anyway, if you have feedback or suggestions post in the thread.

why not red switches ?

Already had blacks. Wanted to try something that feels differently. I prefer the feel of browns actually.

You chose brown switches because of the best Double Tap ?

As a matter of fact with this keyboard doubletap doesn't work properly. Probably related to USB vs PS/2.
I'm fine with using tap+x instead, though. Yields better accuracy as a byproduct.

Hi! I saw that you (and the staff pertaining to pp) is planning to revamp the PP system and star rating in osu!mania - are you accepting any help? I'm a top 4K player and I'm willing to help out in regards to star rating and performance points for that area.

Feel free to post any information you'd like me to know into the osu!mania pp feedback thread. It's in the osu!mania gameplay & ranking forums.

HT in mania is giving pp again. Its a sign that some important changes in osu!mania are gonna happen? Like fixing star rating formula and adding DT pp again?

Making the difficulty formula better is something I want to do. HT giving pp again was just fixing a long standing bug not giving the pp processor the correct score multiplier and as a consequence having halftime scores being rated far below what they should be.

Are the difficulty of autoconverts in osu!mania calculated differently compared to regular maps? The same star difficulty is usually much harder when it is an autoconvert, compared to an osu!mania map.

They are computed the same way.

"pp: [Tom94] Reduce value of the Easy mod to counterbalance difficulty calculation bugfix." Not sure if here or the forum is a better place to ask, but what exactly happened in this update? Is it for another game mode than standard mode? I ask because EZ players haven't lost any pp as far as I know

The counterbalance is perfect in all modes aside from mania, meaning it exactly nullifies the fix to the score multiplier in those modes. Mania scores change in value.

"Fix score multiplier being not correctly calculated internal to the difficulty calculator." What is the score multiplier? .~.

It mainly affects mania. The score multiplier of mods was not correctly stored which made mods reducing the score multiplier severely underrated due to pp using score as a metric and needing to scale it up so that different mods are comparable.

Hey Tom! Have you looked into the new Path of Exile beta yet? If so, what are your opinions on some of the (balance) changes and/or the new content? Looking forward to some new builds from you that I'll never be able to afford.

Looked at and following it all. Already have some plans. ;)
Don't wanna go in-depth about all the balance changes here. I find the majority awesome. I don't like the new EB.

Do BPM have an influence on the pp you get from a song? If no: are you thinking of implementing it? Have a nice week \o

The speed of a map certainly has an impact on difficulty. BPM itself? Only indirectly by making the map faster. Mappers can choose a BPM of 9000 and map a super slow map. Basing absolutely anything on the BPM number of the song would be stupid.

How much better do you think ppv2 is than tp with all the changes you've made to it since stopping your work on tp?

It's different, not necessarily better. HardRock is certainly weighted more fairly in my opinion, but I do want to look into getting separate speed, aim and acc ratings for pp.

back in the days where you were rank 1 or 2 didnt know right anymore did you cheat almost every score? i remember you played that 1 deathcollab map and people have had hyped you over because 800 kombo or sth, when i watching you playin today you are not even 1/4 as good

http://www.twitch.tv/slainv/b/653041860 this was 2 days ago. Given that I didn't properly play osu! ever since the OWC and only warmed up a bit during the last week I don't think I did too bad. :p
Edit: Did a random play on death collab just now. http://goo.gl/Al79FZ https://osu.ppy.sh/b/191771 close enough I'd say. :p

What would you say it's easier, hack/mod a game or make software/ a game?

Obviously hacking / modding is far less work than making it yourself from scratch. I'd also say it's easier to hack / mod since designing such a huge piece of software properly is far from easy.
