Interesting article. I see some parallels to companies I know. And without being on either side - the marketers or developers - I always see one problem with justifying "growth" for everything good developers stand: I hope you wil

I think it is kind of reflecting how poor the state of technology is... 2015, we have to take away _the_ way of communication "email", no fancy windows and don't let parents pay online without having an eye on it. I completel

It is an interesting piece of software. What is the differentiator to other social media account management tools? And I am not sure, but I guess you are mixing the sites from chargeloop and unify or so? http://tryunify.com&#x2F

Your tool is awesome, bookmarked. I am just wondering. Your tool has a great feature: it tells you how easy the text is to understand. You need to be a college grad to understand: "The best word count & character count tool online

That is really awesome! I really like the UI and the idea. I am wondering... Is there a Lucene Index underneath? There are "only" 200.000+ Articles, since when are you crawling? and are these really "curated", as it sta

As I think of myself as a nice person, I have to say I see your point, but I guess you didn't understand me right. It has nothing to do _what_ you have to say, rather than _how_: People tend to craft crazy long articles and software, t

Lets not call it a problem, lets call it an opportunity. Perfection lies in the eye of the beholder... Everyone feels different about HN. The community is great, the content is awesome, but the topics are too diverse for my own feeling. The

I have tried different clustering methods before, but did not receive enough satisfying results. Especially I had a look in what carrot can do, because I find the library pretty cool itself. That its built in Solr and can do everything on t

great idea, noted. Color coded? or with icons? any preferences? or just badges?

Well, that escalated quickly :) If there are any questions, ama, more than happy to answer (if I can).

The solution for managers is outsourcing or hiring people who know what they are doing. Sentiment analysis is touching so many different topics in the area of text-analysis, its seriously not very easy. I wouldn't say its as hard as qu

Interesting experiment. I have a couple of questions though: Why use a naive bayes? Is there a personal preference? Have you ever tried to use a SVM with a linear kernel, which is perfectly suitable for large text corpora? Have you consider

As far as I know you can start with the pre-trained models for the Apache OpenNLP library. And from there on use a translator or something similar?

Sure. Well, basically Solr is just a flat index, although you can store now mutliple-values in one field and even make joins. Here is the clou: Everything is preprocessed and stored in a mysql-db and solr just "caches" everything.

Let me comment more on my short "why not" - here is why yes: First off: I don't choose a language because its 2014, 1999 or 1985. Or because its hip, cool or just "in". I choose a language for me, because it can hel

That is, indeed, a great honor. I didn't expect my Saturday ending at home, monitoring the servers - in a good way. The icon is a great idea, now the problem: What happens if a link was on 8 sites (2 x reddit, 4 x ycombinator, datatau,

Hi. First: thank you for the kind words. Second: I'm going to fix that, I know, it already annoyed me today and I just implemented the collapsed sources last week for better readability. The backend is Solr in combination with a custom

That is super interesting. I'm actually working more closely with Apache OpenNLP for feature extraction and LibLINEAR to classify the news according to their category. Its not too far from coming out of alpha to an open beta version. W
