There are quite a few Ngram datasets available https://www.google.com/search?q=download+n-gram+dataset ... these are almost certainly used in many spelling and grammar checkers. (To help with where the same spelled word is

Did you look carefully at the date this was posted on the mailing list? :)

It's up to you if want to take the risk :) There is always a risk in trying something new. It might never pan out, or disappear in a puff of smoke. Nothing would happen if nobody took a little risk.

Seems to be the premise of http://www.majestic12.co.uk/ - looks like it might be failing.

There is a 'Technology' link in the footer. Really nice implementation btw.

The logger was obviouslly there, it was deliberatly collecting the SSIDs and MAC addresses. Possibly a debug option to log the whole packets added during development, and it was accidently left on in production. Or the whole packet was alwa

Why? What is the point of this? Surely the point of a 'signup' is to create an account able to login into a webapp (or similar) This appears to just capture the details into a database. There isnt even an API to allow users to log

That's not the same. It doesn't sneakily enable Google Analytics to monitor your visitors. You also forgot to make it a clickable link to advertise the service.

tinyurl and other shorteners generally use a 301 redirect, which often does pass 'link juice'. nofollow is usually under the control of the webmaster. Which may or may not be the same as the content creator. Think forums and blog

Why does there need to be a business case? Its quite probable the engineer that built the layer has left (either Google altogether, or just to another team). As its aged its started misbehaving, and nobody left is interested enough to figur

Oh, dear. reading the article again it does note the demo is not real. /me wanders off to wipe egg off my face.

Look carefully at the source code. Its bogus. Not the etags trick, but the demo itself. The demo is actually just identifying users by hashing the REMOTE_ADDR and USER_AGENT, HTTP headers. So it appear to work, when it doesn't really.

Are they going to add downward facing camera(s) to capture close to real time Aerial imagery?

Really the Reader "Web App" - is not that exiting. Cloning it is only a matter of a few days work. The interesting bit is the 'backend', the crawler and database, ie the servers that supplies the API. But that simply can't be open-sourced,

A lot of their products are built with GWT https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/ which compiles the client side code automatically. So its more that the code is auto-generated (and because its generated it doesnt need to be readable)

Just add /places/ in that URL, then it works... https://maps.google.com/places/united-states/california/san-...

Google Maps have tried this, I guess it failed, because it no longer distributes such urls, but for the most part the old links still work, eg https://maps.google.com/places/ca/bc/nanaimo/wallace-st or https://maps.google.com/places/uk/l

I agree - the simplicity of the service is great. Can immediately see what it does. For example do those other services come with storage? I can't tell. For parse, it looks like you need to install a command line application. Not useful if

Why should we trust this service? How do we know what ever system you have running the pings is reliable? Nearly every free app I've seen like this has ended up getting pulled because the dev underestimates the resources needed to run it. I

Shurely you could just store the decruption key in deadman.io. The actual encrypted files stored elsewhere. Like you note with your current setup, the passphrase is useless on its own. Or store encypted file in one deadman.io switch, and th

You are taking it a bit too seriouslly. As it even notes on the page its 'running on free quota' - hardly something to actully be trusted with life or death information. A cool tech demo, not a 'premium' service.

Even more telling, is Google Chrome is used as the browser in the demo video.
