Another point that is briefly touched upon is the availability of data. What good is a study I can't verify? I wish there was a tag that could be applied to published papers along the lines of "the original data is not available o

It will mostly depend on how the work permit situation plays out (and I suppose on the pound not tanking and making wages less attractive). A lot of London tech companies have a non-trivial number of non British employees. If there's a

Depends a lot on the type of company you start I suppose. If in doubt start it where the initial customers are going to be. Even if you intend to build the next network-effect based super customer product....maybe pick one specific niche fi

I can't quite connect the dots...how is the involvement of the ex-CIA guy putting the family of one of the people in the logs in (more) danger? It's already CIA funded so any government that wants to torture people for using Tor c

I feel it is usually assumed somewhat nonchalantly that the Scots could split off as an independent nation. One signal of the Brexit vote is that nationalists (or empireists) will be represented stronger in future elections. I can see a (ne

I'm fairly concerned that Northern Ireland has high potential to become a bloody battleground. IRA activity will certainly increase. Scotland is less messy and would separate fairly easily imo (but you never know British nationalism is

He does and he's a very smart person. He would pretty much be the go to guy I'd talk to about anything related to applied analytics and sports betting. It's fun to see him debate sports books that claim they will take "a

Thanks, very exciting project. I already made another post in this comments section before reading this (I was that excited :P). I see there's plans for a FF-plugin which is great news. My mind is a little blown as I have never really

PeARS looks very interesting I had never heard of it before not had I considered P2P web-search to be honest. That is a pretty exciting idea and I'll follow them closely :)

"Python Machine Learning" is a pretty good book. I also like "Natural Language Annotation" which is a bit specialized but there aren't all that many books on the annotation process.

Also worth mentioning that liability laws can be rather different from country to country. Germany (and Austria iirc) is somewhat notorious in that regard as you can't completely "get rid of" liability and warranty. There&#x2

Looks like a pretty neat "engineering feat". I'll certainly try it if it ever becomes available here (I'm an avid meat eater and low&slow bbq lover). Since I'm sure many vegetarians/vegans will read this th

I think Paypal has very strong brand recognition with the average consumer for such an esoteric product (online payment processor as opposed to say candy bar). Anecdotally many people enjoy how easy it is to pay with Paypal and that they ha

That's a pretty huge WTF request. Can you sue Paypal for basically telling you "break the law or don't use us" (I think that's a pretty bad idea on ideological grounds but I wonder if it's technically possible)

Pretty good writeup. My takeaway is that it's more important to use a long password than to mix and match letters/digits/special characters if that's the choice you have (since the cracking process is greedy and going fr

Could be interesting to adapt this slightly for a small scale one person startup-generator and give it a shot. I usually try to work on one idea but... 1) Identify 100 problems worth solving 2) Narrow down to 10 and build MVPs for all of th

A screencast on using PG to handle stuff that is often stored in noSQL databases would be interesting. I'd be interested in both using PG's new noSQL capabilities but more importantly also in walking through creating a Schema for

Interesting. I never had the feeling of not growing up in a tech friendly environment in Germany. It's traditionally geared a bit more towards machines than software but overall I think fairly tech friendly/open. Maybe it depends

The most common strategy of most Germans I know is to simply put everything into the cart after it's scanned, move the cart towards the car and dump everything into some sort of carry box in the trunk. Carry that box (or boxes) into th
