Keep in mind that there's a difference between a negative result and failure to find. I don't know enough about your field to understand the results you're talking about, but in machine learning "failing to reject the nu

And yet, event management in Facebook sucks. It's just where all the events are posted. Facebook isn't good at events because of event management . It's just because they aggregate all events. I consistently get invited to

Thank you. The pure SQL is a cool twist, because you can instantly start getting fancy, e.g. doing JOINs between different services. In terms of value to the end-developer, there are a handful of value-add services we'll be rolling out

@pbiggar Thanks for that catch. We updated the homepage. I'll reach out to you over email because I'm curious about your intercom.io use-case. I'm also going to try it on our webapp, so we can dogfood it.

Alternately, it's an API of APIs. We're hoping that S(aaS)^n = SaaSaaS for n >= 2, and we can prove by induction that ours is the last enterprise API you need to learn ;)

An important trend is the API-ification of everything. As more and more businesses are accessible with a web API, the Internet becomes more and more powerful. I'd like to invite people to try the early release of Empire API, which is

Can you elaborate upon in which domains that power is worth it? And when it is not?

That's not entrapment. An undercover cop can ask you to commit a crime without entrapping you. It's only entrapment if the police induce you to commit a crime that you wouldn't commit otherwise. Hence, them offering you the o

Aside: I recently went to a bar and didn't have my driver's license. When this happens, the typical bouncer response is: 1) Realize that I look well over 21 years of age, and wave me in. 2) Be a hard ass and not let me in. This pa

Also look at Semantic Hashing, which uses deep learning to compress an input (e.g. a document) into a low dimensional bit vector with fast lookup: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~rsalakhu/papers/semantic_final.pd... Th

Yes, the method you propose for inducing a representation for unseen words is sound. However, once you can train on almost one trillion tokens, the issue of unknown words is not going to happen very often. i.e. what's really left to wo

If you could make this automatically sync to a backend database, that would be amazing. It would be great to have the hard bits solved for us.

There is one point I don't understand. Naked short selling is illegal, so you have to borrow the stock in order to sell it. But if the lender decides to take their stock back from you the borrower, then you are suddenly and unexpectedl

One of the things I really like about Heap Analytics is the "no instrumentation" approach. You just drop in some JS and you're good to go. Do you have a similar feature? This is quite useful in the early stages, when you don&

I have used both of those. At the bare minimum, I want them to automatically use the suggested tags, so I can bookmark things with a single click.

I love pinboard. Can I make a feature suggestion? (Is maciej active on HN these days?) I'm sick of giving things tags. I imagine some users like to tag things and some, like me, don't want to. Can you create an autotag mode? You c

Not exactly correct. Rules composed into cascdes or manual decisions trees are not as powerful as ml. But rules can be converted into features, which you use as primitives in an ml model. In fact, one pattern for feature engineering is to b

No, the blog post says: "The investigation found no evidence". Failure to find is distinct from a negative result. You can't test for failure to find, just as you cannot test for statistical in significance.

You're right, the problem is especially acute for story submission. Once an article is on the frontpage, it is likely to stay there. People are much more likely to upvote a frontpage article than something in new, simply because they a

I appreciate the changes. But while we're on the topic, could I throw out a thought? It should be easier for a late-arriver on a post to add a useful comment, and have it be promoted. Have you considered using randomization to adjust t
