Disappointingly, the article doesn't really explain the authority part, just how they came to review restaurants.

I got the same result. Usually google gives a different title than the Wikipedia title when it's closer to the search term used. However, these titles are taken from redirects to the article and "Random are numbers" wasn&#x27

Good point. One thing that stops me from using them is that its not clear what some of them are and they're not searchable. I wish IME's allowed a fuzzy search with multiple keywords for each emoji, as well as long-pressing/h

Yes you do have a point about how the older languages were already established while emoji is just currently growing at a whim. The utility of the newer characters can certainly be argued, but reading the link certain selection factors must

There's no way a type foundry would have the resources to include a glyph for each grapheme. Modern browsers use fallback fonts when a font doesn't support a certain character. Anyway, I'd hardly accuse Times New Roman of sup

It might seem like a new fad to you, but emoji were long in use in Japan and lacking standardization across major carriers. Not sure how I feel about the consortium being the sole arbitrator of the expansion/globalization of the symbol

What's this "encryption technology"? It just sounds like another case of "a hacker named 4chan", meaning the media throwing around buzzwords like they know what they mean. Encryption is built into technologies, not

Well for the Wikipedia link you'd just be piggybacking off their random algorithm rather than consuming organic entropy. Regardless, they have some information on how the page is chosen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wi

I've heard professors suggest it before so it's always possible that they find out about it that way. It's probably also helps that the default $EDITOR for many systems is vi, so students using the terminal or ssh might turn

Yeah this perplexes me too because my hearing is otherwise decent but I almost always need subtitles. I've looked into it a bit and some people are surmising that it has to do with poor audio engineering for home release. Films audio i

This article perfectly exemplifies why startups are such a powerful idea. He made this on company time with company funds, and Kodak profited for years off the patents while keeping his work out of the market. He had all the ingenuity, know

I think the copyright notice at the bottom is just website boilerplate. it's also on the main Stanford library website. The about page says "For commercial use, contact: utilisation.commerciale@bnf.fr", so it is the Bibliothè

Some countries like the UK have a "Sweat of the Brow" [0] doctrine which lets them claim copyright by virtue of the effort put in to compile the work. However it isn't recognized in the U.S because they doesn't see this

And in this case, their being gifs or images add nothing of value to the article. They're just quotes superimposed over faces with blinking text. Aesthetics over functionality.

Oh so it's another run. Thank you for the clarification.

This is from the stream that was the target of a botnet right? It'd be interesting if access to the IRC chat is available to compare the ratio of successful hits for this vs Twitch plays Pokemon vs a randomized control to see if there

Yeah it's similar to modeling, but social media completely changes the dynamics. Models usually work in controlled environments with professional photographers and have their pictures airbrushed to perfection. The final result is publi

In a more general sense this can be applied to any form of crowdsourcing. How can open source software work with a bunch of strangers adding code? How can citizen scientists provide accurate data? How can airbnb provide a good hospitality s

How do you think it got that way? Honest question, I don't know much about SEO.

I highly second the recommendation of the Criterion Collection. Nothing that they selected has disappointed me and their passion for film shines through their restorations, interviews, and essays.

Eh, its an overly sentimental way to look at things. Yeah on the surface it sounds like these books are being damaged, but in reality they're being given new life. Before you'd have to be physically present at Harvard to access th

I'm probably taking the internet too seriously again but Reddit's tales of fancy are always hard to believe because of the overindulgence of the OPs. Two huge red flags in his story: 1) His efficiency was never questioned. If one

These sound neat. Surprisingly high tech too. From the pictures I just assumed it would feel claustrophobic and have that "tunnel sound" effect. I'm assuming they're meant for naps though, at least their original purpose
