This is a great idea! I think it really attacks the (outwardly) worst part about advertising: deterring users. That being said, I wonder how this would effect the typical bidding-based models of major ad networks and how this would ultimate

Great, can't wait to see publishers "endorse" their advertising partners because they really "love" them so much. I wonder how many publishers would even buy into this given that their primary reason for integrating

Reminds me of Church encoding or even iota reductions, where you reduce a set of higher level symbols to primitive symbols that in combination have provably the same meaning.

If anything, it would seem that (from these comments and from my own personal experiences) Bluetooth is actually not doing very well at being invisible at all.

Depending on how much data you need to transfer between the two devices, I'd highly recommend a pair of ZigBee radios for low-bandwidth (<250k), super-low-power applications. Specifically using a pair of XBee (series 1) radios in &q

As most of the comments in this thread seem to be about "smart" home technologies, I'm curious to hear what people think about the introduction of "smart" things into civic and industrial environments (e.g. dumpster

In my [limited] experience with CBIR and image based search, I found that using a color space with perceptual spatial qualities (such as one of the CIE LaB variants) to be more effective than a purely normalized geometric color space (such

Mind sharing some of that evidence? Having worked for a few online ad targeting companies previously with large advertisers and publishers, I gotta say, most of the data we saw coming from marketing campaigns were weak at best. Most of the

Not knowing anything about the author's background, I can only assume he is not very technically knowledgeable, especially when I read: > but how many people use Incognito for every search? and then later: > Likewise, it’s smart

I've been building a very simple development "portable" PC using a 7" TFT display, wireless keyboard, and a Raspberry Pi. At the moment, it just boots into a Linux login shell, but you can program it to boot into a deskt

I was certainly in a similar boat (though a later generation of computers) whereby I found around age 9 that "poking" at a computer (either plugging random things in, or clicking random buttons or keys) enough yielded some interes

Ah that's a good point that both you and scottcha make regarding the typing strengths/weaknesses of children, which would make a typing-based approach maybe non-practical. I guess more generally what I was trying to better unders

Does anyone know of any published research on the efficacy of this "block based programming" standard the author mentions? I can't seem to find anything on the subject in the Scratch website's "Research" sectio

Every language that supports threads has "concurrent IO". That's what threads/processes are for. However, threads will never help you in an IO-bound system (unless you own some kind of thousand-core CPU with an equal num

I'm a bit confused by this idea, maybe someone can clarify. AFAIK, genetic programming/algorithms themselves require some degree of tuning in order to be useful in a reasonable amount of time and for avoiding local minima each gen

To others trying to use this demonstration: Be patient with the page, as it has to download quite a few JAR files in order to be ready to compile and run any test code. To verify that the javapoly is ready to run your code, open the web dev

@OP: FYI I'm getting mixed content errors with the example fetch because the AllOrigins page itself is served over HTTPS, but the backend call is going to HTTP. May be a good idea to swap that out.

It would help greatly to add the appropriate accents (aigus) to the title of this submission, as I misread this to refer to "resume in C" as in "resuming a suspended continuation in C" :)

I'm not sure if any of this is sarcastic, so sorry if I've completely missed the mark. But I think despite the opinion that one should have more choice (of which, don't get me wrong, I'm personally an advocate) the probl

You've clearly never tried to implement a REST API using any flavor of Lisp before. Guess what: most clients of web services understand JSON and XML, not S-expressions.
