I just when back and checked, it's a png of blurred text so it isn't really cloaking. Google presumably can't see that text but it gets indexed from the question, the first answer and the first words of the other answers though. Either way

Are you serious about Quora? I'm going to go with no.[1] With the text blurring and desperate requests for Facebook signin details Quora is basically expertsexchange for SV insiders now. Given the text blurring is a form of cloaking (showin

I can't express how depressing dealing with text encoding issues in any language is.

The same is true for me, I will continue to buy Intel CPUs and motherboards, for both desktop and mobile, until someone else takes open source graphics drivers as seriously as they do.

I'm fairly technical, I do a reasonable amount of programming and I've been using various flavours of Linux for well over a decade, but installing vanilla Android on a phone where the manufacturer doesn't support it is just ridiculous. Ther

I would argue your post and its tone - "no one who isn't a jerk would say this" - is far more offensive than pointing out that getting charts into email isn't exactly a massive victory for mankind. Pointing out that this post is also self-p

With Geoffrey Hinton involved as a supervisor I expect they were on the bleeding edge for other reasons anyway and just decided to scoop up some extra cash as well. I've not looked closely but Kaggle does seem to be a little like 99designs

Optical illusions where we see one thing then another are numerous, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubin_vase In these there is obviously some contest going on between fuzzy classifiers, as there is in conceptual association games, mi

This is the second time I've seen astro-turfing on HN in as many weeks. On the following thread there were hilariously bad (registered within the hour, first comment on the product "wow great!") fake accounts. http://news.ycombinator.com/i

While I have sympathy with your point, I haven't seen evidence is that Google is subsidizing (as I think Amazon is) rather than just selling at cost. The reason this is an important distinction is that it highlights how much the other hands

Well Hammer-Lahav calls it "the biggest professional disappointment of my career" on his blog[1] so I guess he's aware of that aspect (more[2]). The Mozilla Foundation's Persona[3] looks to be further along in terms of code and in terms of

I know it's based off D3.js but is the rest of the code open source? I'd like to use it for a project and credit you. The most advanced I've found open so far is just a base rotating D3.js globe ( http://bl.ocks.org/d/1246403/ ).

The OED confirms naivety is also an English word that's been around since at least the 1700s. I am not implying naïveté is wrong in English, just that there is a simpler option should you so choose.

It's especially interesting as my capacity to vote seemed to only kicked in today after a week of being green. The last week my votes seemed to go through but then the arrow reappeared on a later page load and the pages weren't in my saved

Amusingly I am still green and agree with you that it is sketchy. A wave of new accounts for a company that specializes in inserting product placement into what people consider to be normal communication... And it's one thing to make an acc
