- Roll-over a translated word to hear it pronounced.

I put it on intermediate spanish, it's interesting but it feels like it's doing literal, disjointed word translations which gets messed up with the different sentence structure.

The giant translating box is really annoying, it needs to be something much more discrete I think.
Fixed. And you must consent to it using Facebook:

"You need a Facebook account to register for Spotify. If you have an account, just log in below to register. If you don't have a Facebook account, get one by clicking the 'create an account' link below."

This includes letting it post messages as you. Guess I won't be using it.
So now if I opt out of the OnSwipe crap, it just goes into an infinite redirect loop. Why again do sites continue using this?

Thanks. Just found that feature. It was off by default for me.
This is beyond awesome for a few reasons. Historically, learning a new language was hard because it generally wasn't interesting.

This extensions allows you to browse the internet and specifically your interests while immersing you to a language...uh whoa. Half the reason I didn't like my language courses was the content and classroom was hardly stimulating or relevant to my interests; this changes that entirely.

A great model if we could apply it to education more broadly.

Nice idea, but I don't like that's it's not written by a native speaker. You're bound to learn bad habits. Just spend less time on English sites and more time on sites in your target language wherever possible.

Two easy ways to immerse yourself with content created by native speakers in your target language:

1) Listen in your target language whenever possible (via audio books, movies, tv shows, and podcasts). I like podcasts best.

2) Read in your target language. Major news sites and blogs will most likely exist in your target language for free. And you maybe be able to buy books (fiction or non) written by native speakers as well.

You can supplement those two with working through exercises in a grammar book of your target language.

Obviously, if you have a native speaker to practice speaking with, do so, but the listening and reading suggestions alone will get you very far. I'm immersing in Spanish right now, and this is working well for me.
If you think you can make a video codec that isn't encumbered by patents I've got a bridge I can sell you.

It is impossible for WebM to be free from patent violations.

In software, everything you do will run afoul of some patent you've never heard of that, in the opinion of the court, describes an aspect of what you've done.

The huge problem with software patents is they describe in hand-wavy terms the "technology" without actually being specific enough mean anything. The patent for "embedding hypermedia documents" that stung Microsoft for several hundred million dollars is so uselessly vague it may as well have been pulled from a science fiction novel.

Allowing a patent without a single line of source code or even proof of a working implementation is not helping anyone.

In addition to the inter-rater reliability issue, there are also a lot of unanswered questions about the statistical distributions involved. The results are reported as population means, but without information about the underlying distribution of the results it's unclear whether the mean is a meaningful measure of central tendency for the data or how much overlap there was in the distributions. How did the mean compare with the median and mode? What were the standard deviations? Interquartile range? They're using a visual analog scale for the ranking which is reasonable, but it seems that it's just been assumed that the data can be treated as interval data for the analysis and the validity of that assumption hasn't been established. If I were doing the analysis I'd have been inclined to bin the data and report the results as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (e.g. people wearing glasses are N + or - 95% CI times more likely to be regarded as "smart", where "smart" is defined as a score >= some reasonable threshold on the "smartness" axis than those without glasses).

Again with the anonymity. The likes are pseudonymous, and currently, tied to your Google account (but not necessarily g+). So should people be allowed to have more than one Google account?

Is spamming likes really a problem now, and will the SEO target evaporate once the number of accounts is reduced? I don't think so. Quite the opposite, actually.

You say people should not have to see ads they don't want to see - good luck with that. A good deal of marketing is selling to people who aren't looking to buy.

This was great till I got to the renaming of Outlook to "Mail app". Outlook still has the largest market share and completely disregards HTML standards. As someone who often has to write templates for Outlook, it's a hassle to get it to work cross platform.

Hey Jared, post wanders a bit but you bring up some good points. Definitely right about investors. At AngelPad, the refrain was always "product, solution, team, traction", but in terms of securing a commitment, who else is in the round matters WAY more than anything else. Traction matters too, but it's a distant second behind who else is investing.

Just proves how much opportunity exists for those willing to stick their necks out and think independently, even in this world of supposedly very smart and "rational" people.

English-Japanese machine translation is still very bad. I think a lot of people have worked on it, but the problem is inherently tough. Also, there is nothing like the hundreds of millions of words of corpora of example translations for machine learning that exist for European languages

I think the main problem is that Japanese requires a lot more context to make meaning clear than most languages. A translation of an English sentence can be pretty good just based on the context of the sentence itself. Japanese doesn't even indicate in any way who the subject of a sentence is. Lots of sentences don't even require a verb.

And it doesn't help that Japanese has a quirky preposition system that doesn't line up with other languages.

I'm interested in collecting links and thoughts on this very issue. Do you need to use special ink on acid-free paper? Is it easy to buy acid-free paper? Have we figured out any good ways for long term just plain data preservation? (let's forget about preserving obsolete encoding formats, for the sake of argument)

I have this pet theory that future archeologists will have a better conception of 1980s pop culture than what is about to unfold in the decades to come. Or even what's happening right now that large tracts of late 90s/early aughts digital culture is evaporating.

And/or heat up the air filling the bag. As air cools, the volume decreases.

The right solution would be to squeeze to depress the bag a bit as it's sealed. Increasing the seal strength is a quick and dirty hack, but as we've all learned too well from software, the right solutions often got trumped by quick and dirty hacks. The customers just have to live with the consequence.
The opportunity is in "owning" a high value relationship (an edge) between two people (two nodes).

There is a lot of commerce that relies along that edge in the social graph. e.g. Valentines Day, Anniversaries, Dates.

The first step is to own the relationship and the second step is to monetize the relationship, both of which are challenging problems but solvable.

If you know a couple's anniversary and know the content of their relationship communication, you could conceivably suggest activities and gifts that are monetizable. Jewelry, dinners, activities in common, etc.

By focusing on a narrow relationship, you can build NLP tools around romantic/amorous banter that identify things that couple would enjoy doing together.

There is a lot of money here, but it ain't gonna be easy. This is the type of startup where hiring A players really really matters, because to become valuable, you need people that can execute solidly on the first problem and then people who can take that solution and execute solidly on the second problem. Many startups owning a valuable user base often fail to monetize those relationships.
The term A-player originated in the sports world a long, long time ago. It is literally a player of the sport who is considered A-grade material. This phrase, like many other from the sports world, has been adopted into the business lexicon.

Yeah, well. There's a reason browser vendors other than Google aren't so keen on NaCl. No one else actually wants the web to get locked in to a particular hardware architecture or small set of architectures.

Note that even PNaCl would have that problem (assuming they ever get it to work): it would just aim to work on x86, x86-64 and ARM.

Or put another way, if something like that had taken off about 10 years ago, it would have only worked on x86 and maybe PowerPC and x86-64. And browsing the web would have been impossible using an ARM chip. The question that needs asking is why we think that something has changed in the last 10 years such that locking the web into a small set of hardware architectures is OK now.
"it's just been assumed that the data can be treated as interval data"

Which is especially problematic since user generated ratings are ordinal, not interval data. Since the idea of an interval between points in ordinal data is essentially meaningless the summary statistics you mentioned are not meaningful either.

It's one thing for Amazon to come up with a mean user rating to give you a sense of how people like something, but it's not a valid method of comparing the data we have here, especially when the differences are so small

Many best practices work well because they mean you don't ever have to think about uninteresting problems (like ASI) ever again. I know the rules of ASI but I honestly have never had to think about them because, I don't need to; I just put a semicolon at the end of my lines.

If you ever have to do network and systems administrations you will come across loads of best practices because needing to memorize every last rule and edge case of all the software on your systems would be truly maddening.

That said, it is always good to know the why behind best practices and not follow them blindly.

I think you'll have some trouble fighting MS to prove that your open source version isn't directly based on code you got from the decompiled binary.

The specification by itself would be an enormous contribution.

Teaching people directly and offering personal mentorship is the teaching model. The price is just set at a point that people are willing to pay us. It has the added benefit of keeping the bar for student motivation high. That's not the only way, as Hacker School has shown, where the tuition is free and they instead filter purely on applications.

Not many websites are offering the personal touch online, and I personally think more people should. I think http://railstutors.com/ are an example of two guys doing it right.

Judging by the success of DevBootcamp/Hacker School/Etc. have had, I think it can safely be said mentorship is a pretty effective teaching model. Our job is to make that model work online as well.

Here's an interview she did last year with a Node dev in which she referenced LinkedIn's work with Node for their mobile site.

http://venturebeat.com/2011/12/09/node-js-rackspace/
No-one is advocating 'responsive design for apps' so I'm not exactly sure what he's talking about.

It is true that a responsive design for the LinkedIn website might be a tricky-ish project given the current (surprising?) complexity of the 'main' site.
Ugh. This is so wrong, even though some of the arguments are valid criticisms.

Why is it wrong? Transactions and referential integrity. Without being able to guarantee transactions that update data in the database along with any other data, non-DB file-based or not, then you chance issues with referential integrity. Even if you have a transactional infrastructure that you would bet your life on, something could happen like a partial restore that restores the file system but not the database.

It isn't that it is impossible to have a working transactional infrastructure without storing these things in the database, it is that it is much easier to store it in the database, and sometimes making things easy can save your ass.
