I don't have familiarity with speech-to-text but wouldn't it be possible to weight words based on their probability in this application to help resolve this. For example, suspect is probably a low frequency word in…
I concur it is about respect for time most of all. Though the technical portions are interesting, they could have been broken out into separate articles for people who want those additional details. I may not be the…
I am going to a group discussion tomorrow about first-refusal rights in the NFL and happened to do a brief naive analysis of extra point vs 2 point conversions earlier today. In brief, the EV of a 2 point conversion was…
I can't access a lot of posts in China but this one works great \o/
Today was National Day in China. So, this sort of attack, at the very least, functions very well as propaganda fodder.
W1ntermute is decrying the fact that the Ubuntu team is in a position where they feel it is necessary to rely on selling access to their userbase. It seems the most valued contribution skilled peoples can make to Ubuntu…
I speculate that it may be an attempt to stem movement to the significant number of private trackers that dependably provide higher quality torrents earlier than public sites. Allowing TPB to stay up means that people…
As an aside, I find some irony in the fact that a growth hacker uses blogspot. All Blogspot blogs are blocked in China without the use of a vpn. Thus, a sizeable chunk of potential readers is excluded.
Really interesting read. Thank you for posting the link. I certainly would have missed this otherwise.
I would be interested to hear other's thoughts on JFK's answer to why he would like to attend Harvard. I suck at writing essays but it seems his reason for wanting to attend Harvard is incredibly trite and superfluous,…
You may feel fixies are impractical but they carry benefits. The primary one being better power transfer. Second, you can often make a cheap fixie by finding an old frame, refurbishing it, and replacing the rear hub.…
I'm surprised by the article's premise. I was just in SK and everywhere I went Psy was on the radio. I wonder if that is the same pricing package. I am hard pressed to believe his fans wouldn't by some sort of…
NASA is American... So, who is the target audience then? Is the author intending to persuade western Europeans to fund NASA? Swearing may be 'fun' but it still isn't what should be front facing for a business.
Seconded. His Kickstarter video and copy seemed like a stream of thought joke. Why should I give a rich Hollywood actor money when I can give a well planned and spoken individual the same funds. Further, it seems pretty…
This is true outside the banks as well. If you make any purchase exceeding 250 USD (approximating a purchase requiring 10+ 100RMB bills), chances are the store will have one of these machines. China is also the only…
The most interesting part of 1921 is that the original(?) Brewster's Millions was released. In the original movie, the protagonist had to spend $2mil in a year and remain unmarried to inherit the full $10mil. By 1985,…
I am starting to love kickstarter more and more. It seems like it will be full of business 101 case studies before the year is out.
I don't often wear a coat but I do often wear dress pants, collared shirts and dress shoes. I also often hop/climb fences while wearing them, so... yes.
That isn't necessarily true. He doesn't specify rotary phones. Even if he did, like the folders and envelopes he also mentions, corded phones which look like the picture are still quite common in office places and thus…
Doctorow's novel is amazing. It really inspired me to change the way I approach life and appreciate value. Plus, it is relatively short! Basically, that book is to blame for me converting from a slacker to a hacker.
I would be interested in meeting up for fun/ programming practice/ etc. depending on where you live here. If you would like, shoot me an email and we can chat :) Edit: ninja
Thanks to all of the replies even though I'm only posting under Jconnolly! You all succeeded in answering my question and making me consider applying more deeply. I certainly can write FizzBuzz but I was rather…
Could you be more specific about the minimum level of programming? My programming is still in a nascent stage but I am considering applying to HS and wonder what the minimum bar really is. How would you describe the…
The conversion is low but you inadvertently stated the reason. They see millions of impressions for people wanting a large assortment of different content. Honestly, most probably go there for TV/Movies/Porn. It isn't…
Talk about timing. I just wrote up a list for a friend that includes a bunch of weird movies (most of them being head trips). My list includes two Cronenberg movies as well! Though, to be honest, I'm not really a fan of…
