    Here's a Python script I used when I ran a SSL monitoring site: https://gist.github.com/bretwalker/5420652 . It'd be easy enough to get this running as in cron job.

    Has anyone seen Open Calais [1]? It does tagging and categorization. It's been around for years and seems pretty powerful. It's a bit lower-level than Algorithmia (not href aware), but it seems more powerful, and a system like Alg

    That's a great answer, and it's encouraging. Yes, I'm talking about the US. Louisville, Ky., to be specific. I haven't been blown away by what I've read in the RFI responses, but, then again, they're pretty hig

    Are there any sites crowdsourcing provider charges? There have been some data sets released by CMS, but they're far from comprehensive.

    I'm not sure that same == fair. If a worker is going to work remotely, is it a better evaluation of her skill to have her do her coding test remotely or have her do it in the office? Likewise, is it fair to ask a potential remote worke

    I think your twisting his words about C-level executives. The point of that section was the value of time, and was using his experience with executives to illustrate that point, not to insinuate that he deserves to bypass lower-level employ

    I'm genuinely curious. Core premise of the article is that Google is abandoning 20% time because they have these metrics in place and management places so much value in them. If the articles correct, the measurement they're using

    I'm sure it does, but I can write the same class in C# just as easily: class Person { public int Sanity { get; set; } public Person() { Sanity = 50; } } And to call it:

    I'm very eager to see how they handle the actual exchange code. Jekyll and static HTML make a lot of sense for a marketing/informational site (which this appears to be right now), but at some point, they're going to need a dy
