This is the really hard way. And it is going to fail A LOT. Do this instead: 1. Contact a company that has a searchengine and therefore access to all your links. ( http://samuru.com ) springs to mind. 2. Do keyword extraction of those pag

The lack on women in tech is much like the lack of women in gaming. Guys have pissing matches and are crude to each other. When they do that with women to it is not acceptable workplace behvior. It isn't acceptable when it is just men eithe

Your statement about privacy is already suspect since your opening comment talks about sharing that data. The two are mutually exclusive. As soon as your system is sharing, rather than me sharing I have no privacy.

Legally if you fail to disclose that you knew you are a carrier for a severe disease to a prospective spouse prior to marriage it could be grounds for annulment, or a fault divorce. Sorry I don't have the case law at the moment, but I am a

GINA is Only for predisposition. Anything that is diagnosed through genetics is fair game. If you use genes to detect that I have something like Fabry Disease which you either have or you do not based on the genes you can be asymptomatic an

I like things like this for diagnosis. The problem is in how insurance, employers, parents, and prospective mates will view it. GATTACA jumps to mind. Just because you can mine the email on Gmail to find everyone who secretly likes Justin B

Facebook has the power to take down posts. They take down pictures of breast feeding mothers. I would think it is no more difficult to take down copyrighted works. Google image search finds duplicates quite well. FB should do something simi

Oh, do the cheerleader mine the data of the audience, and use it to create spam? If the cheerleaders were sleeping with the fans and spreading venereal disease your analogy would be nearly perfect.

Nor do they love science. Most of the things they post are not accurate. The picture of the universe and a synapse for example springs to mind. They are just a "Like" farm. They use their tracking of likes to mine relationships so you can g

We laugh that Nick got "lucky" but really this is the Bill Gates story. Find something that does something cool. Put some lip stick on it, sell it to someone big. This isn't such a far fetched idea. Whether you could do it a second time is

Wavii did. Same $30m as Summly got. Sure age helped with press, but that isn't to say that you couldn't do the same thing at 40. Especially if you are buying PR.

by drakaal 14y ago
Considering you take two off the shelf pieces of software and do the work I don't think this is implausable. Also I think it was more a commentary on how silly the Summly buy was. You do get sarcasm right?

Highlight the part you want to summarize. Like the part with out the Notes. Also Paul's writing is pretty poor. The ideas are good, but he jumps around and uses short sentences with far too many pronouns. Garbage in Garbage out. Here is the

I think technology should strive for Zero Learning Curve. If I type "Chicken Chord On Blue" it should figure out that I probably need to know that I spelled it wrong, what it is, and how to make it. A user shouldn't have to know the answer

Building one of those was harder than we expected, Google won't let you frame their results page.

Like Google? No. Google uses inlinks and Keyword density. Really how do you know something is a song? It's not the finding that is hard, it is the knowing what to look for.

This kind of stuff is part of what we are doing. Extraction of semi-structured data, like phone numbers and adresses is something we do, along with review scores and dates and social media pages. But the bigger thing is the unstructured p

Liquid Helium works through heuristiics. LHe is the symbol for Liquid Helium in science, and is the intitials for Language Heuristics Engine. (we are so clever we know) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pb_F1mwLCo explains it oversimplifie

I (Brandon Wirtz CTO of Stremor) am glad we keep hitting the front page of HN. The response has been a bit overwhelming, so I will do my best to keep up with the comments. Some answers are already on the other two threads. https://news.yco

When you are building a technology, you have to isolate and test. We use indicators that are harder to game than inbound links like traffic. But it is a balancing act. We have just shy of 100 score factors we can tweak, and getting them rig

Who said we don't use word order? Who said we don't use similar search to infer intent? We can't really use the click throughs until we have users. We need feed back to improve results. But this also powers the related search in our TLDR Pr
