btw0··on China Bans Livestreaming
Government ordered Weibo, iFent and AcFun to 关停上述网站上的视听节目服务 stop the video and audio programme service because of not having license [1].

So what's video and audio programme? It has a definition, but in practice it has to be interpreted some way. That's why regulation can GET tight sometimes. China is complicated.

btw0··on China Bans Livestreaming
I have been running a live streaming app here in China for two years.

The title of this gets so wrong - China did not ban livestreaming. Yes, the regulation of livestreaming services gets very very tight recently, we have been fined due to inappropriate content.

The website mentioned in the article like Weibo, AcFun are not about livestreaming, they're YouTube-like video sites. You need special license to run YouTube-like video sites, just the license is almost impossible to apply for non state-run company. There are only 500 something licenses ever issued, you need to acquire a company that have the license, surely the price is extremely high due to scarcity.

I built a Chrome Extension to help myself better identify hot content on HN years ago and can't live without it.

btw0··on Show HN: Hacker News Redesign
Great Idea! But why not try out the Social Hotness Chrome extension which already has a usable "social meter" for Hacker News.

Not sure where you are in China, but 8.8.8.8 is not blocked for me here in Beijing and everywhere I visited - Shanghai & Hubei province.
btw0··on What people use their Raspberry Pi's for
Thanks. I am thinking about the same thing on the "clarity" detection and numbers can be used to do some visualisation. Yes, I am going to try it out.

btw0··on Why babies in every country on Earth say 'mama'
Even more interestingly, "ma(ma)" means breast too in the dialect of my home town which locates at the central part of China.
btw0··on Machine Learning and Link Spam: My Brush With Insanity
I've built an anti-spam system for Delicious.com using Naive Bayes classifier with a really huge feature database, think tens of millions, mostly tokens in different parts of the page, those features are given different weights which contribute to the final probability aggregation. The result was similar to what the OP achieved - around 80% accuracy. The piece of work was really interesting and satisfying.

very clever URL for the resulting page

Simply sad.
btw0··on Ask HN: Review my weekend project (my first coffee-script project)
Thanks for pointing out the concern. Some permissions are not needed indeed, I'll change the twitter oauth settings. But my web app really doesn't do anything other than pulling in the basic user info though.

It's a twitter for your belongings. I built this last summer as my first coffee-script project (backend using Clojure), still not finished. What do you think?

btw0··on FreeBSD 9.0-RC1 Available...
Fewer and fewer people are using FreeBSD, and it's starting to cause real problems. Bugs in ports can't get enough notice. Right now, `htop', an essential tool for me, has been malfunctioning for months:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/159728

At the moment, the built-in GPU in newer CPU (core i3/i5/i7) simply doesn't work in FreeBSD, people have to buy discrete older cards for graphics. Yes, they are paying someone to work on the part in kernel which will make it possible to support these newer CPUs, but who knows when it will come.

btw0··on Today I launched my solo project, Listry. Feedback/suggestions appreciated
Nice idea and good implementation! The home page could look cleaner if you use less bold font-style and a smaller number of different font-sizes.
