There are quite a few Ngram datasets available https://www.google.com/search?q=download+n-gram+dataset ... these are almost certainly used in many spelling and grammar checkers. (To help with where the same spelled word…
Did you look carefully at the date this was posted on the mailing list? :)
It's up to you if want to take the risk :) There is always a risk in trying something new. It might never pan out, or disappear in a puff of smoke. Nothing would happen if nobody took a little risk.
what does it used as the backend? The actual classification system used?
then link dropped on hn, to get even more traffic?
Anyone know the criteria for what sites are included?
Seems to be the premise of http://www.majestic12.co.uk/ - looks like it might be failing.
There is a 'Technology' link in the footer. Really nice implementation btw.
The logger was obviouslly there, it was deliberatly collecting the SSIDs and MAC addresses. Possibly a debug option to log the whole packets added during development, and it was accidently left on in production. Or the…
Why? What is the point of this? Surely the point of a 'signup' is to create an account able to login into a webapp (or similar) This appears to just capture the details into a database. There isnt even an API to allow…
That's not the same. It doesn't sneakily enable Google Analytics to monitor your visitors. You also forgot to make it a clickable link to advertise the service.
Why does there need to be a business case? Its quite probable the engineer that built the layer has left (either Google altogether, or just to another team). As its aged its started misbehaving, and nobody left is…
Look carefully at the source code. Its bogus. Not the etags trick, but the demo itself. The demo is actually just identifying users by hashing the REMOTE_ADDR and USER_AGENT, HTTP headers. So it appear to work, when it…
Are they going to add downward facing camera(s) to capture close to real time Aerial imagery?
Really the Reader "Web App" - is not that exiting. Cloning it is only a matter of a few days work. The interesting bit is the 'backend', the crawler and database, ie the servers that supplies the API. But that simply…
Just add /places/ in that URL, then it works... https://maps.google.com/places/united-states/california/san-...
Google Maps have tried this, I guess it failed, because it no longer distributes such urls, but for the most part the old links still work, eg https://maps.google.com/places/ca/bc/nanaimo/wallace-st or…
I agree - the simplicity of the service is great. Can immediately see what it does. For example do those other services come with storage? I can't tell. For parse, it looks like you need to install a command line…
Nope. Works here. From the UK.
Its from 2009. The first four links in the article have since been redesigned so cant see the menu noted in the article. Bah!
Why should we trust this service? How do we know what ever system you have running the pings is reliable? Nearly every free app I've seen like this has ended up getting pulled because the dev underestimates the…
Shurely you could just store the decruption key in deadman.io. The actual encrypted files stored elsewhere. Like you note with your current setup, the passphrase is useless on its own. Or store encypted file in one…
You are taking it a bit too seriouslly. As it even notes on the page its 'running on free quota' - hardly something to actully be trusted with life or death information. A cool tech demo, not a 'premium' service.
Even more telling, is Google Chrome is used as the browser in the demo video.
yes. This is under active development https://groups.google.com/forum/#!overview
