Don't bother... "actionwords" is a troll account, created 2 hours ago. I am not so sure if it is a troll with political motivation or just a "for the lulz"-kind. On a side-note: it is very interesting that on HN, th

When I first came into contact with AI at the University, I really enjoyed reading his Essays. As A Undergraduate I wasn't really ready to read his papers, but publications like "Why People Think Computers Can't" and &qu

Yeah, its kind of sad isn't it. It takes right-wing fundamentalist christians to point that out, because the so called "liberals" have lost their ability to understand and respond to critique.

Cool, that looks like the monitoring tool I always wanted... tcpdump and wireshark are nice tools, but not always the best option, especially if you just want to have a quick glance of what is going on on the wire

There is always the possibility to make a map/reduce over multiple datasets. It is not exactly a replacement for join, but you can cover aggregation over multiple datasets with a output-collection. Well... in my opinion this is much mo

Keep in mind that it is not always the government(s) using strategies like this. Political groups (left and right alike) do know about it, and use it, as well as the occasional 'troll for the lulz'. And there is the whole issue of

If the dating is correct (~6000 BCE), this would still be 2000 years before the earliest estimations of the domestication of horses.

It is always good to have a backup system, in case the primary system (GPS) fails. Celestial navigation has a proven track-record for centuries. I wonder more why it was dropped in the first place...

What if you make extracts, reprojections or create a new dataset from a ODbL-Licensed resources (or even more Licenses, depending on the number of datasets you use to create a new one), can you relicense it then?

It seems to be the Natural Earth Dataset -- I think the 1:50m-resolution, but with a slightly reduced set of properties (columns). I haven't tried it, but from the looks of it, the sql-files should work with PostGIS as they are.

Thats why i like decentralised messaging (XMPP/Jabber). If a Jabber server goes down, it only affects the users on that particular server, not all users worldwide.

In germany there is a saying: "If you work independently, you are always with one foot in jail". It is not unreasonable either, because I know of accountants and laywers (ie: people who do this all the time) who sometimes get lost

What this "geo database" lacks is the ability to make actual spatial queries. It is one thing to store and retrieve points, lines and polygons in a database. This is what this stack can do quite well and I suppose for a certain cl

I think it depends on the level of complexity, and common structure of the sentences. If a writer uses a bit more prosaic language it will fail. I tried the famous opening from the "Commentarii de Bello Gallico". "All Gaul is

Voting machines should be called voting computers. That is what they are, they "compute" a vote-count (with all problems and fallacies that word implies).
