Just checked spaCy's NER demo and it seems to be working fine now. :)

Is it just me or did he lose the Hamlet thread? It doesn't seem so much a mystery as a purely strategic post-war moment that no really knows about.

This is beyond tragic. How Guantanamo lasted through the Obama years is beyond me. To close it was his first promise and his first promise broken.

That's a worrying bit of information... Bubonic still around in times of coronavirus.

WFH already seems pretty normalized to me. But the denormalization of full-time jobs/employees does seem like a real danger in any field at the moment. Unfortunately not all employers are ethical when it comes to that. If you're l

That sent me down memory lane. Sort of. Went to check Berlin and the two addresses I've held since moving here 10 years ago and realized the photos haven't been updated since July 2008. :P

It's true that it's tough to learn a language from scratch with just Duolingo - only language classes truly worked for me. But as a means of review or for giving my friends who would probably never learn the language properly a le

Is procrastination really the biggest ailment we suffer in today's world? There's an awful lot of concern over it. Although remote working is possibly its biggest contributor when it comes to professional procrastination. I mean,

Does anyone else have an issue with audiobooks as literature? Like, if I'm not able to control the pace at which I'm paying attention, it's problematic. I can't guarantee I'll pay 100 percent attention to noise that

Totally cheesy, but not untrue. Although, I couldn't escape the irony that I was reading it to put off something else.

I find it weird that Facebook even does this. It's like pile-on in a justice system that's supposedly already dished its punishment. What right does FB have to punish someone for something they did outside of FB? And jesus, have s

I wish this article went a bit deeper. I still don't feel like I have a primary grip on WHY the non-berry items ended up with berry names to begin with. Bananas, okay, late-period adoption, but the rest?

We have similar issues in Berlin with wildly exploited workers... the only thing that keeps it one step above here is that they are all bicycle driven, so fuel costs are not a factor.

In Berlin they have a voluntary facial recognition zone at one of the train stations. Passengers can opt in and be part of the pilot program or just go through the non-facial recognition entrance. I'm guessing most in privacy-valuing G

This does kind of imply that technology is to blame. I get what his piece is trying to say and it wraps it up quite well by the end, these are social (American) norms that must be fought with. But technology isn't the culprit. It'

I've worked with people like the one The Verge paints Korey to be. The fact that she quit and then came back points more to The Verge's reporting to be accurate - this kind of personality can usually never accept the mistakes they

Right? It's much more about the process than the piece. Would have also read that article, but I thought I was reading another.

I guess this is most useful if you don't live in the country you want to learn the language for. Native English speaker living in Germany here who speaks fluent German, but still lives most of his life in English. Movies are a good way

This goes for external (outgoing deadlines) as well as for internal. When you don't tell the world to expect exactly this on THIS day, they won't be unhappy. They'll simply be happy when it happens - and happens correctly!

I was also shocked. If only the Department of Justice could do, uh, justice to the story with some decent writing... this was way more engrossing than I thought it would be.

All good points, although "rather than just punishing, he spent 8 hours discussing with his team"...? There needs to be less punishment as methodology out there, but an eight-hour discussion IS a form of punishment in my book. And

I'm not so sure about the incoming "reality apathy". People seem to be more and more ready to mobilize, the more pervasive social media has become (completely saturated already, yes). That applies to both sides though. And to
