No, you were right and be was wrong. Just because he made a copy of unix doesn't mean he knows how to parse HTML with python. Anyone that's done a lots of web scraping or (as in my case) crawling/indexing will see the merit of your response

He does, but sadly his comment is way off. Anyone that's done any amount of HTML scraping will use BeautifullSoup over lxml. The former being easier and more tolerant of html's nuances. The latter being brittle for anything less well formed

I wonder how much wearing a contraption on his head contributed to his getting hit by the car. Even state of the art high-end viewfinders with millions of pixels have frustratingly long lag, enough to easily take away the reaction speed edg

You're living in a dream world! Rape means forced intercourse. Nobody says "sf was getting raped until the second half" - nobody except a complete moron with the sensitivity of a very insensitive thing. Among my friends, someone saying thos

Attention seeking obviously. That's the point why the op made it up. There's no harm done, except wasting a bunch of people's time.

It's so obviously fake, anyone that has one or has ever been on a school field trip would know that it would be impossible to get then to keep quiet. They'd giggle and one would say something within about 15 seconds. And the guy doesn't rem

I should imagine that staring at $200 does a lot to lessen the pain. Groupon has been a big scam from the start and to come out of that with a huge pile if cash is nothing short of a scandal. In America the banks nearly bring down the who

The hn crowd are of course a very tech minded group and more tolerant technology in their lives. My friends who watch the google glass video seem to come away thinking "what does it do?" - this is normal people, not geeks. They all laugh wh

Every big corp operates this way, would you want to not consider a company like google just because they have notoriously bad hiring people in their hr dept?

I don't think you not seeing game of thrones is really depriving you of culture! If you want culture, go read a book. If you want titiilating blondes with dragons in skimpy outfits, then get an HBO subscription..

I always take my iPad and watch things on that. Do people really use the TV's in the rooms? I certainly don't want to pay over the top prices for things I can get elsewhere.

I'd not want this for audio, what about pandora in a tab, I don't want it active to listen to the music.

Lisp and prolog are old languages that have had their day and largely been marginalized by more practical ones. Prolog was intended for AI and NLP but overtime the rigid grammar approaches have been obsoleted by statistical ones with far gr

what nonsense, sure google's useful, but no more so than bing or any other company that wants to build the same. How about the cellular carriers, or the infrastructure companies that make internet in your house possible. Google was an inevi

The music to the video is really annoying. I couldn't make it all the way through because of it. The app seems great though.

Brilliantly made video, Google are obviously using a good ad agency, their ads now sell a lifestyle rather than a product, as all good ads do. the product itself will likely cause a few pedestrians to be kills, a few drivers to get into cra

You can't blame google for this, I am the first to think that Glass is an invasive technology and currently pretty pointless, but this girl was just not that into you.

but those problems were just talked about, not solved. This is the US government we're talking about, so I bet they will never get far, and by the time they have something operational, you'll be able to but something 10x better on Amazon.
