The interesting part is not that Google is looking to augment their search algorithms with human curation, see fb, twitter, bit.ly et al., but rather that their principal metric, links, is losing value as a principal metric.

Academic price: 2010 $100 2011 $150 2012 $300 I mean, hey, I'm not complaining but wow. Take a look at that inflation. I only mention it because when I was forced to sign up for Google Wallet they presented me a list of my transaction histo

And this is a beautiful example of manufacturing innovation and advancement, evolution and revolution, coming from those that actually make things. When you make things you find a way to make them better. This is why I believe we in the USA

The gilded elite that trapse around SXSW need to get off their high horses and appreciate a persons position that is not their own. The truth of it is they would rather not come face to face with the homeless which forces them to think abou

I think we should deploy a few of these in the editorial meeting rooms of some of the worlds top media conglomerates and news papers. But in all seriousness, don't deploy these anywhere. You may get shot on sight.

Great move with the bayes classifier. I'm more interested in how stories are received on other networks so I made http://hnfluence.com for my HN consumption. Ultimately looking to see how one network effects another.

You had to see this coming. Nice to see Congress stepping in and up for the consumer. Can't wait for Apple's detailed reply.

Considering the decimation of the manufacturing base here in the USA, I shudder to think what would happen were we required to make war on the scale of the previous World Wars. Virtually all our electronics are made somewhere else. We can't

First, this is really cool. Grats for putting it together. Next, I would say that this falls into a category of app that I like to call "Discovery". There is just so much content of every flavor out there that Discovery apps will carve out

You should resize your images and display the thumbnails throughout the site. Not sure what your stack is, but I use imagemagick bindings for nodejs to do just that (npm install imagemagick). Obviously imagemagick may be accessed through mo

Well that is quite an exhaustive list you've got there. Did you take the time to actually type all that in off the top of your head or does that list already exist somewhere and this was a copy paste job. I will leave it as an exercise for

And half the technology you and I use everyday would not EXIST if there was no Israel. If you like, you could think of Israel as a global R&D facility.

Search and Indexing were addons to the initial Riak product that were born from user demand. Only recently (1.0 I believe) was Search integrated into the main Riak distribution. Riak has no capability of updating values in place, ie. a part

I would second Mathias' thoughts in that this does feel more bigtable/column oriented than traditional dynamo. Dynamo and its derivative, Riak (not from amazon), make no attempt to determine data types or schema in any way. The fact that dy

Fantastic! I'm very excited to try this out. I've been using postmark to quickly build out my MVP for a new site I'm working on. This is just the other side of the equation and I am very eager to start playing with it. Integrating with thei

True, to a point. But I would also say that there should just be better working conditions, better pay, more vacation and better benefits.

Very good writeup. This specifically covers setting up the firewall rules to only allow inter-group communication. This is very important to understand when working with a Riak cluster because Riak itself has very little to no internal secu

AFAIK, the official stance from Basho is to not use a virtual environment. That said, Joyent does officially support Riak in their environment. The thing to look out for is not slow i/o but variable, unpredictable i/o which is what you get
