There is still incentive for WSJ to allow Google to index, they probably just will redirect you to sign up when you click through. Perhaps they'd let Google just index the preview text to prevent using the cache

This reads like an advertisement. Also, my nurse friend said only older doctors use morphine. Most hospitals use fentanyl now.

It has the upside of setting a strong precedent: the guy might be totally guilty but if the EFF can prove the search was overly broad, when cases are less clear then it would be more obvious to protect the privacy of the defendant.

The author can probably get a lot of traction by doing random perturbation, but they won't be getting things in the correct ratios (i.e. lots of dropped hyphens but not many dropped apostrophes) and also won't probably make all th

I think the issue is you need parallel corpuses of (sentences with grammatically errors) -> (same sentence but correct). Gutenberg has a lot of only the latter I think.

I worked in Japan for a year at a 100 person startup (all Japanese people except for me). Anecdotally, people did seem to work a lot of hours but it was also felt like one of the most laid back environments in a way. It seemed like working

I don't know if there is a standard way to do it, bit that's the arrangement we have with almost all our clients. There are clauses about basically not taking IP, just reusable code for our own purposes. Clients with existing code

Look I think it's ridiculous but maybe they did and reducing prices was just something they expected to have to do if backlash was over some threshold. It's not like they were blind-sided either, they're not complete idiots.

Android and Oracle's Java have been diverged for quite a while. There aren't any Java 8 features available to Android now, so you sadly shouldn't hold your breath for any Java 9 features either, it will probably be a long, lo

This is very interesting given many people thought it was merely Assange trying to hype up non-existent dirt on Hillary Clinton. In general I'm very in favor of free speech but I think this changes when he's releasing information

No programming language ecosystem is safe from Yehuda's grasp. I'm looking forward to using one more well-executed tool with better repeatability, security, and performance.

I knew I was asking for trouble mentioning the perf thing. Let me roll that whole argument back. The reason I use Fortitude (and love it) is that writing loops and conditionals and extracting methods or variables is trivially simple, you ge

I think it's hardly a problem just for men, it's probably just the statistic they have been able to easily measure or have data for. And especially given that women have an increasing role over time in the work force, that would c

You're probably thinking to deeply about this. I think most people are "storing" their money in consumable assets that they are likely immediately consuming - aka broke. Thinking about what you have your money in is pretty hi

Garmin Fenix 3 is round and a fantastic watch. Not going to appease the people looking for eye-candy but it is super functional. I use it for runs and biking, the GPS works well.

I have the Fenix 3 after owning an Android Wear. Garmin has done a great job, it is an incredibly functional watch with great battery life and few annoyances.
