What's the huge difference with YouTube besides Vevo and huge amounts of crappy user generated content? Please illuminate me.

I wonder why you read ugly opinions about Grooveshark and its dubious model, but never about YouTube's? Is it only because on YouTube there are proportionally lots of (low quality) user generated content?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but current applied NLP is building parse trees and applying probabilistic rules to classification problems. With those two you can indeed build some awesome tools but we are so, so far away from actual lang

You aren't obliged, but it would be nice to read some explicit counterarguments and some strawmen exposed. Given your strong opinions about the piece, at least rebutting the worst part of the article should be easy and not take much effort.

That's right. After paying more attention to the paragraph in question I'd love the grandparent asking his friends about the new models that are being tried and how are they based on Wittgensteinian pragmatics. I haven't seen any, but I've

In the early days, say, Windows 95, it did BSOD a lot for seemingly random reasons. Nowadays, with the experience of handling dozens of Windows machines both server and client, I can tell you with a high degree of confidence that BSODs happ

The fact that you have to install some driver is irrelevant. I'd rather install drivers for Linux than be unable to use the hardware at all.

That's a good maxim to live by, but lies come in different flavors. Are they not improving conditions at all or just not in the amount they claim they are? Are they just throwing all the recycling material they get in the dumpster or they r

Well, give me the 500k payout, I'll gladly take that hard street. It's absurd to act as if it's pocket change. Upon receiving that kind of money, you just leave the valley and move elsewhere doing the work you want to do, living off the int

This one gets my vote. But I honestly don't see what's the problem with such a technique. Of course it would be better for the employees to get a raise. But it would certainly be worse to get nothing at all. If they get something (money) an

Any high six figures (say, over .5 million) figure is actually FU money, as long as you can invest reasonably safely and well and have modest living standards. I'm amazed at how often I read here that even a million is pocket change that ch

I guess it feels that way because tablets until the iPad were an insignificant stagnated market, whereas we did have markets for computers, phones, music players, etc. So, I'd argue it's still a huge improvement over an existing product are
