Google gets better as more people use... the internet. Yahoo also gets better as more people use the internet, but if Google has superior algorithms, there would be a spread in the pace of improvement. It is no coincidence practically every

In theory hedge funds are supposed to make money regardless of the market direction. In practice, they need liquidity to do so, which is why the current crisis should be pretty bad for them.

You could train the Markov chain specifically on all registered domains. And weight by recency, if you want to be trendy.

Funny I did a similar thing recently, specifically for domain names. The code to train a Markov chain (without using any libraries outside standard Python) is this: import re, collections from itertools import * def words(text):

It is very clearly a better feedback than Google ever gets. BTW I don't think it does a "small thing". It is not a smaller problem than search itself. I think the most natural UI for this are feeds though (not email like Google Alerts and n

Is it really better than Google Alerts? I think the problem with this kind of services is that you want to follow a topic, but the information out there is still too much and there is too much redundancy. Does Pressflip solve this somehow?

I don't think there are enough cases of terrorism to be able to apply data mining to this problem. There just isn't enough statistics and every case is different.

Google has released Google Forms as part of their Apps For Your Domain offering. It feels very impersonal compared to Wufoo, of course, but let's not underestimate it.

This guy doesn't understand that these limitations are not just arbitrary, they stem from the architecture of the service. In order for it to scale, Google needs to make sure the applications are doing everything in small chunks. I bet even

Thanks for the doc, it's interesting. However it complains mostly about Skype being opaque from an admin point of view. I don't buy your view on software security (I know it is the prevalent one). I don't crash-test my Volvo in order to ens

Got a link about OpenSocial getting closer to the Facebook model? OpenSocial have always had REST APIs, did they start to call your servers like Facebook does?

Is this a true choice? I am choosing convenience, if I need freedom later I can pay the price and get it. For example, I am developing on the closed Google App Engine. If what I'm doing becomes successful and I hit limitations of the platfo
