Really like the design but finding it hard to see what I get for $11 that I can't do with flickr or tumblr. Maybe go with a freemium approach?

I scanned through the artificial-intuition.com site and still can't tell what it is. It sounds like usual machine learning (no theory or first-order logic, instead identifying (possibly nonlinear) correlations between variables). The market

Rather than a new journal, it'd be better if established journals included special sections/topics on OSS related to the journal's area. Journal of Machine Learning Research already does this [ http://jmlr.csail.mit.edu/mloss/ ].

Ah you're right, weird that I never noticed it before. Still, I wonder if the revision control is specific for each app or built into the storage layer..

Could this be a test of an underlying storage functionality that could spread to other Google apps? If the underlying storage layer becomes changeset-based, this type of feature could be easily implemented (and very helpful) in products lik

The fitness function does take char location into account. In python, it'd be -1*sum(abs(x-y) for x,y in zip(chromosome,target)). The gradient here is continuous and smooth. Problems where GA is an appropriate solution have fitness landsca

What a clever idea! The specific features here aren't that appealing to me but the idea of integrating crow-sourcing into an otherwise normal app is intriguing.

Ok, I get that. What I meant was, what's their legal justification?

IANAL but selling the device is not illegal and a court would not consider it a stolen item. It's against Google's terms, which is a contract between Google and the recipient of the cr48. Why is eBay enforcing that contract?

This is par for the course with physorg (and to a slightly lesser degree, newscientist).

I always thought it was odd that ASF, one of the early open-source successes, was so heavily Java which has always been semi-open at best. Stuff like this lends more credence to the ideological purity of the GNU guys..

"Scientific Outsourcing" does not say "college students" or "extra/menial work to me". Based on the tagline, I would expect something more like consultants with MS or PhD who do freelance research projects.

Interesting and very unexpected. Any other examples of companies going the non-COTS/Map-Reduce/Cloud way?

I was 11. My dad was in a master's program and I used to use his account to access gopher. I had no use (or understanding) of the documents but was somehow fascinated by the endless series of menus. That, and prodigy.

A previous manager of mine used to work at AT&T in the early 90s and according to her, AT&T was convinced that gopher was the future. The web was too disorganized to be of much use.

I think it's reasonable to expect some privacy in diplomatic communication. The rough drafts, as it were, need to be private so that fear of embarrassment does not automatically remove any options from consideration. Of course, once privacy

Not sure I understand the target audience for this. If you're writing in text files instead of Word and are comfortable working in the terminal, wouldn't you also be comfortable with a Git GUI? What would be cool is if there were plugins th

This is just trolling. The two examples show this: "look at the liberals funding soccer and hollywood research!". Congress can slash overall NSF budget but is it really going to get involved in the NSF granting process? No.

If it's anything like speech recognition in Android, it's all server-side..so this should be technically possible in any browser as long as google allows it.

Peer-review failed here. It might be forgivable that a medical researcher doesn't know Calculus (maybe..), but if an article is making a mathematical claim, the journal should find appropriate reviewers. And this is not even remotely advanc

Amazon's Mechanical Turk seems like a good way to gather training data.. and it might even be cheap enough to use instead of a trained model (at least at first).
