Not sure if trolling..

Wolframalpha is nice, but doesn't use natural language/machine learning, it follows certain syntaxes. I personally have had a <30% success rate with it.

Thanks, asked on Quora.

Leave me in a house without internet and I promise I'll either burn down the house or make delicious food with recipes invented on the spot.

Is it similar to self-hypnosis CDs?

Irrelevant, but I love how you cited n-grams.

Out of all the ways they could have caught you, a job offer? That's hilarious.

An e-book reader is spectacular for this. I've finished 4-5 classics in my "between" time.

This video is pretty messed up.

Surely not terrible news, it's only satire.

Wouldn't that reach a limit pretty soon? I've commented on this before, but there's a max character length for the search box.

Here's the old readability JS. (bookmark it)

I think he meant blew up in a metaphorical sense, as in "many countries followed in the production/proliferation of nuclear technology."

Oops, sorry about that. Thanks for letting me know.

This is pretty cool. Are there answers for the exercises?

Yeah, that's correct. The video has almost absolutely nothing to do with the actual content.

I wish I could meet an investor now, just to say to him "This is where the jousting monkeys come in".

Exactly how I feel. This is beautiful! For tablets only.

Except everyone knows what they're paying, with $x discount.

It was already "debunked" on reddit that reddit helped Ted Williams. [citation needed, but I'm too tired atm]

Thanks, I didn't realize the "www" had to be there, so I couldn't access the site.

I believe CMOS sensors can also do this. Infrared photography isn't too difficult, as long as you remove the infrared-removal filter in front of the sensor.

Viewing source gives this tidbit:

           <!-- PS - 
            I work at SLAC in a group called Scientific Computing Applications.  Our goal is to 
            use GWT as much as possible to support as many experiments as possible in many ways,
            leveraging HTML5 and AJAX/RPCs to meet these goals.
            
            In addition, while I dearly love GWT in it's native Java form, I'd like to confess
            a greater love for Pyjamas.  It'd be absolutely wonderful if Pyjamas had some of the
            more advanced features of GWT, especially in regards to Javascript optimization.
            Just sayin...

I don't have time to solve it, but translated from binary to text is .zncf anug erggro fv abpno

Anyone want to take up the mantle? :D

But that wouldn't be an injoke, would it? ;)

I've seen this around, but I assumed it was more security-hacking than startup-hacking.

Edit: "The basic difference is this: hackers build things, crackers break them." from http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html#what_is

I stand corrected.

Firefox also has this, and I presume Safari does too (I don't use it, so excuse inaccuracies).

I'm using Chrome 10 Dev, Windows XP and the textarea/input work fine.

Datum doesn't compare two different correlated values, does it?

Could have sworn the last one was attributed to Einstein, but I'm being pedantic.

Do you know what that product is? If not, it's going to be a difficult slope for you. Wanting to build a product to make money vs building a product to serve the needs of a community are vastly different.
