We have VERY rapid dev cycles, and often have to solve things as a team on the white board. We are starting to have some stuff that could be done remotely, but it is very hard to get someone remote up to speed on the vocabulary of the produ

You can use it in place of Google. https://www.mashape.com/stremor/stremor-search-results The price is low enough that you should have no problem running adsense against results to make back the cost and turn a profit.

This is pretty early stage. Minimum viable product for a search engine is a big task. Minimum viable product for a system that mines unstructured data is even bigger. But I think we have a good start.

At the risk of getting flamed as an arrogant bastard. Which I am. The python talent in Phoenix is for the most part not talent. The guys who want $75K would not fetch $50k in San Jose, and the guys who want $100K would not fetch $70k in San

We said "alpha" for this reason. You would agree that it answers the question? What we have to work out next is trust and authority. But to do that we need users to ask questions. Honest, trying to think up questions to ask all da

Google released hummingbird, and it is cool for structured data, but what about unstructured data? That's where http://samuru.com is looking to change the way people search. We read a tech crunch article that said humming b

Wait an hour. We decided to push that bit of code live in Alpha. :-)

Saw you are trying it out. Awesome! Sorry the documentation is a bit weak right now, we had people wanting it so we got it out, rather than getting all the docs complete.

I can't easily. The free quota is pretty high on their. (5000 calls), For development I'd work off a few test cases that you save the response on, then if you get something working decide if 5000 calls a month will fill your needs

The issue with Genism is you have to know what you are trying to analyze before you analyze it. It doesn't do well if you use the wrong corpus or if like you mention start with a million word corpus. If you were analyzing emails in a s

Here I thought the problem was we were in Phoenix, and we had hired all the Python Developers in the area. (with a few exceptions for those who work at NASA)

The CPU cost to do use this approach is terribly high. I don't think this approach is going to give better results than a few simple rules and NLTK would. This API will do a better job telling you what an article is about. https:&#x2

There was as much if not more negative gaming as positive. The best way to hurt a competing self storage services is to post a review that mentions their rat problem. Just an example.

We don't expose that as an API in that way. We are rolling out features, but I am not sure flagging reviews as fake will be something we make "public" instead we'd license that to a company like amazon. Otherwise on the

I don't do reputation management anymore. Now I build tools to do real reputation analysis, and fight the very things I used to do. I'm like Darth Vader in the last few moments of his life... Only I plan to live a long while. At S

Lavaca is not really a framework. To be a framework you kind of can't be some of the things that makes Lavaca not entirely suck. But Lavaca really only makes sense if you have users with no cache accessing your stuff via Modem. Let me

Seems to be limited to 1 second short of 1 day. What good is that? I want a timer that counts down to my favorite console launch. (I am not saying which one because I figure if I choose the wrong console I won't get any upvotes)

Non-Blocking IO with out raising an exception is a notable new feature. The Improvements to Garbage Collection is also pretty huge. The 128bit number support is cool, I mean if you want to work with Quadruple-precision floating-point number

I am guessing I can beat it with a good pen. As you say it has to be tolerant. If you have a little grunge on your finger, or a cut, or get a tan or there is grunge on the sensor it still has to work. Also, there are a lot fewer fingerprint

Kind of a "well duh" post. All of the image scan finger print readers are easy to game. Even the ones that use capacitance can be beaten with a rubber glove and a copy of the finger print, printed on the latex. (the best is actual

How do you think Twitter tells the difference between a Bot and a human? I get that they are sentences, but they aren't contextually relevant, they don't look like tweets, they look like spam. If you randomly start posting "
