Yes, I've also gotten universally positive feedback from all of the Uber drivers I've talked to (Uber Taxi, UberX, and Uber Black in SF). Whenever I take non-Uber cabs, I ask about Uber, and the response is also usually positive. Some of th

Setting up SSL on Elastic Beanstalk was very easy for us. The documentation explained the entire process. It is easier if you get a wildcard SSL cert, so then you can use the same SSL cert for your various deployments under the same domain.

It's far more complex than that. Are you talking about political spending by campaigns or by independent groups? By PACs or by corporations/unions? Within 60 days of an election (or 30 days of a primary) or not? Etc.

Yeah, I think they have been focusing on installing wireless access points in the residences instead of upgrading the wired speeds, which have probably been at 100 Mbps for over a decade. Still, hard to complain, as I haven't ever seen any

Unfortunately, this may just be caused by companies reclassifying existing workers and postponing the hiring of new full-time employees, instead preferring "contractors." See http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/02/opinion/02reich.html?pagew...

The restriction was lifted in 1933, I believe. Some of Jane Stanford's other requirements were 1) free tuition and 2) no summer school, since students should get out and see the real world during the summer. I'm glad they let more women in,

That's an interesting theory, and it probably explains some of the decisions made by many people I know. Is this a theory you've just heard casually mentioned or has there been actual research on this?

Fundraising drives don't raise questions about the impartiality of the content in the same way that ads might. However, even NPR has sponsors these days (but not ads per se). I think it'd be interesting to hear whether Wikipedia has conside

Wow. I think the more important point (as the article says) is made in the next paragraph, where Eric Schmidt reminds us all that data Google collects is always subject to seizure by governments. So, even if you do trust Google, by using Go

I am lucky to have such a university. From the "Results" section, for those who are curious: Recall of emotional texts was clearly superior to that of neutral texts, both at learning (45.1+/-2.4% of the emotional texts vs. 26.4+/-1.7% of th

That's a great idea. Right now it's just spitting out a static HTML file, so that'd require some significant changes to the code. I'll see how it's doing tomorrow and consider making it into something like what you describe.

Thanks. I'll definitely post the code soon. I'm using the title, the submitter's name, the URL, and the page content without tags (only looking at <p> and similar tags would probably help). Including the content of the HN comments p

Yeah, it's amazingly accurate for now only because the training data consists of a high percentage of the actual data set, and so it's probably classifying based on those insignificant differences. We'll see how it holds up...

I made this in a few hours for my own personal use and thought that other people might want to use it, too. It uses a Python Bayesian classifier trained on about 200 hand-labeled links and outputs a static HTML file. It's not perfect (and t

Try some more to get a story in the Northwestern paper (or UChicago, UIC, etc.). You probably know some people who go there--get them to contact their friends who work at the paper. I've seen lots of stories that originally got picked up by

For the record, I found the explanation sufficient to make me understand and interest me, but I'm not qualified to assess HashFold w.r.t. MapReduce. Keep writing and keep us (on HN) updated.

Why don't more young professors release free textbooks online as a way of raising their profile in the field? Seems to me that should be a great way to advance on the tenure track, but is it actually? Certainly it's not the same as publishi
