looking for web scraping / data extraction projects, math finance, machine learning, databases or AI related, general hacking or perl coding, website building/testing. proficient in perl, matlab, C and R.

On a similar note, I have a gmail filter that picks up when the source and destination email addresses are the same, i.e. when I send an email to myself, tagged under 'self mail'.

The last time I emailed a piece of text to myself was to send an api key from my computer to my iPhone so it could be used in an app. It is a one time operation where I can access the data quickly and the text remains sufficiently private.

With Hopper, I don't know if the text will be shared publicly on the web, and if I can rely on it, what if the server goes down or the logs are read or stolen?

server side:

http://checkip.dyndns.com/ -> http://hurl.it/hurls/6fb24ac23d7c64a7edbcfceecd77c3d02586416...

127.0.0.1 -> http://hurl.it/hurls/7ad9448295a320acfe11160f0a8986fa591329f...

It appears to be an iteration of his previous app Trimit: http://www.fastcompany.com/1772823/the-15-year-old-brain-beh... http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/15/trimit-summarizes-emails-bl...

I am guessing that he just outsourced the AI/algorithm part based on the articles content: 'we' and 'The Trimit team' and Nick just designed the UI. Overall, great concept, but poor execution (in terms of accuracy) and journalists seem to be buying the hype.

Opening the ipa file, and browsing the contents, there are a couple of plain text files - containing stop words, dictionaries and others on natural language processing.

The summarised results from the app are very random - pick any article other than the test case in the video and you won't get any useful output, 3 random sentences usually.

Will be removed when free period ends on the website.

Last week I had also written the same thing in Perl to login and handle saved stories, and then add them to a folder in Instapaper.

The Dropbox auth. page states: "This app will have access to your entire Dropbox. Please make sure you trust this app before proceeding."

Does this really need access to the entire Dropbox? Why should I trust the person who wrote this?

To get stats for bit.ly you can just add a '+' symbol on the end of the short link: http://bit.ly/owigAj+

RDP has been around for over a decade and works fine. Transferring 100's of gigabytes of data over wireless is a nightmare. Keeping small amounts of data in sync by dragging and dropping every 10 minutes is a clunky workaround.

To clarify, I am not dismissing the feature, it may be useful for those who are running multiple computers and monitors side by side, which I am not.

I have a computer that does not have either a mouse keyboard or monitor attached to it, to use it I switch it on and wait for it to boot, then use windows RDP to login. I can view the screen, move the mouse across monitors seamlessly, use the clipboard. The only thing extra here is the file sharing - I can just hook up an external drive or sync using dropbox.

I have a Kingston and an OCZ Vertex 2 and the OCZ drive failed in a month. My experience with the RMA is similar, it took 3 weeks to get a replacement and very slow email support.

The first card is on ebay, (obviously reaching the 500 dollar limit was not enough to expose the vulnerability so he had to take 2 cards - or possibly more that he isn't saying?), where the money will be donated less the Ebay fees and where he describes it as 'a social experiment where yuppies buy other yuppies coffee'.

I think the point was missed in his description. I think the experiment was about being generous and spreading goodwill, and the coffee was just a medium for passing that on. I am happy to see that this positiveness has spread on in the JonathansCard facebook comments, for example people buying a free lunch for strangers.

Sam Odio destroyed this positive spirit. How do we know 625 is the total amount that was taken? The blog post mentions 'him (and others)' indicating a group of people taking money. I would like a record of all the 'thefts' so I could line it up with the transaction log from Jonathan's card.

If you and Sam are related, then I suspect you are only 'donating' money into the card because Sam can get it straight out again, free publicity?

Thanks for your reply. I noticed an autoreload button in the screenshot and an idea I had is maybe it is possible to utilise 2 cards and reload one with the other when the balance goes below a certain amount? This would stop a person taking a large amount in a single transaction.

I wonder if Jonathan is around and is able to look up the transaction history on the starbucks website, and if that shows any information on where the money is spent/moved?

I guess a way of doing it is to brute force the 8 digit CSC on the website and then transfer funds away from the card.

It looks like someone has figured out how to empty the card, in 2 minutes: https://twitter.com/#!/jonathanscard/status/1003474991889776...

They are relevant to him.* He is currently logged in, and his location is visible on the left side of the image. Google uses his previous search queries as well as information about him and his location to provide a relevant result. He has probably searched for Java and R before. If you try searching pdf in your own browser, it is likely there will be different results.

*I meant that it is what Google thinks is relevant to him based on the data that they have.

link deleted as new version is up.

I managed to download it after multiple tries and uploaded a mirror here: http://multiupload.com/3I1SLCNT1Q

I will edit out the link when the book on the site gets updated.

Hi nmb, this looks interesting, thanks. Tested it out on small text files and it works. What is your upload and download bandwidth? I think it would be better if it showed the list of files, their status/progress, and ability to delete a file from the queue.

It looks bad on Firefox too. I also gave a link which works on any browser, and that includes Chrome.

Just install the readbility firefox addon or go to: https://www.readability.com/read?url=http://blog.zx2c4.com/6...

I have had an OCZ 120GB Vertex 2 for about a month now, and today updated the firmware to 1.33, in the release notes it says reduces the chance of data loss due to power interuption.

I would also advise making regular backups, checking SMART and for firmware updates regularly.

The previous drive I had was a Kingston 64GB and it still works after a year.

Here's a less well known, but better site that I use: http://www.torrific.com It's free, and signups don't require you to connect with facebook to join.

Here is my Perl code for the diet puzzle, as well as sorting it splits the set into positive and negative subsets: https://gist.github.com/805894
