Using a Geforce card in a datacenter or "GPU cluster" setup voids the warranty, which might be a factor for them at scale.

Usually a seller doesn't add VAT to B2B invoices into the EU, VAT is accounted for by the purchaser under the 'reverse charge' system. B2C is different, they would need to charge the local VAT rate in each member state. I sus

It depends on your regex engine. The author here is concatenating all of the paths into a single pattern, an automata based engine would ideally compile away the disjunction and offer performance linear with the input path length.

Neat idea! It looks like the NLTK POS tagger is having trouble here so might limit your recall when used as a filter. Instead I wonder if it would be better to use the context of each token to mine significant ngrams from the rest of Shake

They don't do this to help you get a job. Recruiters insist on an editable version so they can remove your contact details and insert their letterhead. This makes it harder for their clients to contact you directly and cut out their fee.

This was just a private API that presumably Google no longer uses. I wonder if this is related to the new Chrome spelling suggest feature ( http://mashable.com/2013/03/29/chrome-spell-check/ ), and if that means there's a new private undocu

Feed readers can send If-Modified-Since or If-None-Match as part of the request so the server only sends back the full feed if there's something new (Otherwise a 304 Not Modified)

True, though the ELB also does some simple buffering of HTTP requests.

I can't speak for Parse, but I've come up with something similar in the past. Nginx/HAproxy as a combo is far more flexible than the ELB alone, you might want to use it for rate limiting, better load balancing algorithms, better logging, tw

No tweaking, promise :) It's possible you hit an inconsistent server first time around, I'll have a dig on our end. Let me know if you have any other problems - toby@textrazor.com.

I can understand why you might think that, but we'll always have the free plan. We're still working out all the little pricing details.

The Stanford parser is great, but isn't really the same. The Stanford entity recogniser is limited to the standard types of people, places, companies, but we identify and disambiguate into a far richer ontology from wikipedia, and can reco

Hey steeve we thought there were a few things missing in the competition. We've built a bunch of extra functionality such as more extensive relation and dependency parsing and contextual entailment generation, and use all that to build muc

It does this for me too... I use Ghostery. The google+ & analytics requests fail, so you end up calling "gapi.plusone.go();" on an undefined gapi.

I didn't mean to imply it was simple, just that there's nothing magic about how Watson's knowledge is stored. Obviously at this scale any change is unlikely to be trivial. Given the wide range of unstructured sources Watson uses, and given

Watson's 'memory' is just a big database of facts, rules, and statistical models. To 'forget' a source they'd just have to rebuild any models derived from it and purge any facts it had extracted.
