Actually it's interesting that you mention this. Technically, you can also make it atoma-ku, (like ato like in later, and ma-ku as in mark). I wonder if the dip-tone was intentional to make it sound more like foreign word.

Too bad it's a queue and not a stack. I'll show myself out now.

meh, just use sum instead of counter sorted([(i,sum([i==j for j in s.split()])) for i in list(set(s.split()))],key=lambda x:x[1],reverse=True)[:10]

I don't know what Japanese programmers use for social network, but try making a mixi group for hackers and see if you attract any people.

I've been wanting people to post their eigenvector/value on facial recognition training for a while. Imagine a crowdsource trained facial recognition database!

Yea, it sounds a bit mechanical. With that said, based on the priming he's given with the talk on waveform, I'm guess they are simply breaking the English speech into the waveform with corresponding frequency and simply mapping that over to

My buddy at Microsoft tells me that in terms of automation, they use the dogma that if you need to do it once or twice, you just do it by hand. If you need to do it more than that, you automate it.

Oh no, you did not contradict it at all. It is one of the vital point that was pointed out in the paper, and I wanted to make sure anybody else who don't having interest in reading the actual paper to have an opportunity to get this particu

The elaborate on the Schultz paper, dopaminergic reward feedback mechanism is for unexpected reward only. Repeated stimulation depreciates the neuronal signals. A take home message from this is that an ideal diablo 2 drop has a expected dro

Feel free to comment, I want to hear what other people think on this issue. I think there is nothing inherently wrong with unpaid internships. If the market price for your work is low enough to only compensate experience gained, that's perf

Regarding to the second quote, the statement just shows how the analyst doesn't get the situation at hand at all. Traditional firms uses IPO to gain cash and expand, true. That is because it is very hard to raise money in that scale using o

Just a thought that popped into my head. Assuming that the product issued in the end is going to be the same for everybody. And assume that the highest contributor that gets to put in the feedback generally improves the software. This creat

This is precisely the problem, and I'm glad you mentioned it. If the cost to produce a calendar-grad image is so cheap that an amateur can produce it, perhaps the force of creative destruction has rendered the traditional photographer to c

This reminds me of the recent book review on the Economist. http://www.economist.com/node/21545983 To quote one passage: "Mr Collini is moved by Newman’s insistence that a liberal education is not about what students learn or what skills

That's certainly true. Many models of social enterprises exist and some of them are no more of a regular business that so happens to deal with "social" issues. I guess the point I was making is that the advantages that a non-profit has ulti

To a certain extent, I agree with you. But to play the devil's advocate, I must say that having a open-whatever test is inherently dangerous in creating inequality in terms of information usage. For example, if you were to have a open inter

This is the famous tragedy of the commons problem where where the increase of members participating the in game (in an game theory sense), any individual is more likely to become a freeloader and hence less likely to put the optimal labor.

Although non-profits has good tax breaks, it's much more difficult to get funding since it's "non-profit", hence no return for the investor capital. Why not try to create a social enterprise instead? You can still get a bit of tax breaks, A

Copyrights is the same as creating a legal monopoly to a particular item/idea. Hence, from a pure economic perspective, it creates deadweightloss, or over all less for the economy. Hence assuming an efficient market, it is a VERY bad thing.

Although video game is not meant to be created as a passive entertainment, I think it is going that direction. With the combination of plot and amazing graphics, I don't see why a video game cannot be watched. Take for example Onlive, which

If the correlation between SOPA awareness and HN user is indeed 99.9%, we need to find a website that has close to 0%. cough MySpace cough Could this bring web attention back to the decaying social network? Stay tuned.

I think rather than saying that this is an abuse of power, MPAA with its massive lobbying power should really reconsider its position. Lobbying was particularly helpful way to reduce information inefficiencies to the government prior to the
