Exactly. Whenever I read about one of these projects that are distributing Wikipedia content offline, my first thought is - How do they check all the content for vandalism? They most probably neither have the time nor the expertise. On the

Completely agree. Another dimension along which it varies is the genre of the book. A new romance novel does not need as much research or effort put in as many of the academic books (not textbooks). Such books need extra support for the aut

I have experienced this dilemma in a different domain: machine learning. You can either go the Hadoop way and commit to simpler algorithms that can be run in distributed manner or you can keep pushing the single machine more and more by use

Libraries are one thing I miss a lot in India since returning from US. Public library system is virtually non-existent here. It is sad to see it getting destroyed where it existed.

His solution turns out to be close to OAuth 2.0 in the end, so you are right. But I liked the article because it walks you through the thought process of someone trying to do it on their own. This understanding of all the small things you m

Well, others seems to have been kicked out, we were simply not let in. We applied for an account couple of years back and were declined. We went back and forth 3-4 times and they wouldn't tell us why we can't get in or what we need to fix.

I find the advise useful for certain situations. For example, hesitation is contacting a prospective customer for fear of rejection. But this has the potential to lead down the path of mediocrity if applied in a company. Just one more lost
