"teach a computer to play Go using some form of machine learning" It would work. Even unsupervised. Let random programs play against each other. Let the losers die and the winners breed offsprings with mutations. If you let that r

Nice to see how great PHP is doing. It is still my favorite language. One thing is strange: The HHVM result on the "plaintext" test. How can HHVM only do 938 requests/sec if it can do 70,471 in the much more complicated &quot

When I do calculations in the browser, opening a second window halves the performance in the first window in FF. In Chrome the performance stays the same.

When i look at the streets and all that stuff that moves around there, i think: its somehow possible to turn this into a internet of things where stuff moves around like tcp packets in a network. Without competition, UPS will probably never

Will this become as successful as their cloud computing business? Most parcels I get are from Amazon anyhow. I guess its that way for many people. They will have an insane headstart going into this business. Personally, I welcome our new de

I dont understand the flash one. The nasa one gives me this: http://i.imgur.com/E6JW3Ks.jpg Too bad they show all those stars in the background. So its a bit hard to say what is what. But it looks like the sun and the plane

I know that one. I would like the whole solar system in one image. So that it fits on my screen without scrolling.

Is there something like this where the proportions of size and distance are correct? I always wondered, how the solar system shrinken down to the size of a football would look like. Would the sun and all plantes be sub-pixel-size? So a corr

Good idea. Checked the logs on a high traffic website. And indeed, there are GET requests with the _sm_byp parameter. No referrers. But the user agent is "Mediapartners-Google". Also the IP is from Google. So either a bot from goo

Misterious. The IDs or hashes or whatever seem not to be unique. Take the value from one url, put it into Google and you will find several other urls with the same value. Example: https://www.google.com/search?q=ivv6tf7rfsr0

What would be the theory of least effort? By that I mean least people involved, least criminal energy, least planning. Could a pilot do this completely on his own? Turn off the communication system, fly 4 hours into a different direction an

Thanks for the info. Inspiring. So you have other traffic sources apart from SEO?

Karpeles posting about himself "That fat fuck has been lying!!" is an amusing thought :)

Interesting. You make a living from this? Is it all SEO driven?

No, there is no button. Maybe because its "Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint"? Did they fork Firefox and disabled updates?

I dont like the fixed header of the website. I dont like the fixed "cookies" info on the website. Apart from that - Im in Germany, so I dont get free calls. So its of no use for me.
