There is a lot that Twitter can easily cross reference that would be more work for Last.fm Also, Twitter has many more users. But I agree that those more enthusiastic towards music probably already use Last.fm

I do find this social-music space quite interesting. Specially if your music tastes are not mainstream. And visualizing the data would be really cool. Hope they do a better job at it then with photos and videos, though; and focus on the soc

Well, http://search/ would be different from http://search.com or http://sear.ch/ for example. I can imagine a lot of scenarios where people could easily be tricked into accessing the wrong URI if these dotless domains become common p

At least the Supreme Court is hearing the case. Hope they take the right decision here. I can't understand how Monsanto can make these claims with a straight face. The guys didn't license the seeds from them. If much, they could go after wh

Really hope you guys have autonomy to keep it going kind of independently, specially with stuff like Open API. Good luck there in this new path!

Based on my past experience with Elsevier, I would not be too hopeful. :(

Having had my own co-founded company gone bankrupt, I have to agree with you.

This would only be the case if every research job was in a university and in tenure track, which is definitely not the case. Many research positions are in industry, or are postdocs or non-tenure track. Besides the fact that many countries

Academic work year and no crazy hours? Sorry, but you clearly don't work with research. Working all days of the week is incredibly common. And, unfortunately, crunch time specially near major conference deadlines is almost becoming the norm

Unfortunately the mobile versions renders broken in the iPad. :-/ Now I'll have to find a regular computer ASAP.

Having being involved in efforts to standardize AI components roughly 10 years ago I can say that, even for somewhat delimited domains, this is not a trivial goal. I really hope their effort can provide a strong enough push, even if not lik

Very interesting findings. There is still so much we don't know about the oceans... But I guess this kind of news can be a show stopper for the recent rise in interest for exploring extraction of minerals from the sea floor. I'm kind of tor

Well, I know this is not the typical use case, but the need I had for it was to perform some experiments on the quality of recommender systems suggestions. In this case, as the experiments involved people and the intend was to publish the r

Well, I know it's anecdotal, but this is not how it works for me. Music I enjoy, with lyrics, works pretty well.

I guess he meant those guys were already "Yodas" way before 1980 (when the character first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back). Or, of course, he could be mistaken by one whole year. :)

Very entertaining read. And the lessons he mentions from the 80s still mostly apply. But the one that caught my eye was point #4: Knowing how to read and understand source code is a valuable skill. I definitely agree. Nonetheless, having wo

HN guide: no. Seriously, I do think Twitter is a great company, but one tenth of Amazon? The same as Nokia? Not to mention comparisons to non-tech companies... I really don't get these valuations.

Critical thinking is not necessarily analytical thinking. One can be deeply analytical and yet not really critical. For example, some people that know all details of a religious text and can argue its points very well, while not paying atte

RIP Ray. :( People can say what they want, but the Dalek design was both pragmatic and cool, making it the iconic representation of the series. More people think of the Daleks than of any of the Doctors or TARDIS when "Doctor Who" is mentio

While the first volume is a good book (haven't read the second) this is not a review. At most it's a summary. :-/

I kind of agree, but it is good that some attention might be brought to the issue (not necessarily the government's). My concern is that the WH might once again raise the number of needed signatures for the next petitions! as there are stil

I can remember names and faces, but many times I have trouble remembering the mappings between them. I always imagined a world where some device would do the auto ID. Guess we're now living in the future. :)

But the intended use of a piece of software is not to replicate itself (unless it is a virus). While the intended use of any seed is obviously to grow and reproduce. Hope the distinction is clear enough for the court. And this is a patent c

Does anyone have pointers to a good comparison between puppet and chef? It'd pretty interesting to also know why Amazon went with chef first.
