I'm really interested if anyone knows how the Times is planning to keep this type of content available on long time scales. They can realistically assume that twenty, fifty, a hundred years out people will be reading these articles. Th

I've always opposed selling off NSW's state-owned electricity networks, because that will just lead to price rises in short order (well above the already-high cost of power). However, if storage plus home generation takes off, tho

This is very cool. I've been kicking around a similar approach to feed data into a recommendation engine: collect job listings, filter against a list of stop words, then see if ones with similar words turn out to be similar jobs. One o
