I was referring specifically to their paid same-site recommendation engines. So you drop it into an article, and it recommends other articles from your site. In my experience it's decent to good, depending on what metadata you provide

Yup. It's basically saying "we can't afford this, so we'll make it not our problem." FWIW FP briefly used an embedded facebook widget, and a nonzero percent of their livefyre users logged in via FB. It did little to

RE:Machine learning: I think there are two problems with that approach, one cultural and one technological. The cultural issue is that many news orgs are still run by people for whom the idea that technology could accidentally censor a vali

I think that incentive idea is great, and is a smart move to build a community, particularly when you're trying to draw subject matter experts. I like how some of the Ask<X> reddits do it, by flagging people with verified advance

I see comment moderation as one of the 'unsolved problems' left in this generation of the web. When I worked at Foreign Policy we worked hard to integrate new commenting tools and encourage power users, but we were just buried by

The real answer is of course "it's complicated", but i'll take a shot: Since the 80s, Japan has been seen as very 'futuristic' in the west. Some combo of extreme density and a high percent of the economy being

Awesome! Could this attack be defeated by pumping white noise into a space, or would it have to be too loud to be practical?

At least some games interface with fancy mice and keyboards to change the colors and pulse. Maybe the author can tap into that data? https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/4iplar/til_overwatc...

While still concerning, they really buried a key detail: "About two thousand U.S. military personnel remain stationed there."

Princeton has the Wilson school for MPPs, so it's actually pretty big in Government and policy circles. I'm surprised the number isn't higher.

Counterpoint: Conditions were just like this in DC 7 years ago, and tons of people bought these dilapidated 350k row houses, put 150k into fixing them, then sold them a few years later for 750k+ because demand in the city kept growing. It&#

As of last year prices for general HPC resources were running around $3/GFLOP[1], or about $500,000 for 170TFlops if my math is correct. Sounds like this is a significant cost savings if it fits your use case.
