There are already multiple established solutions (which are noted in other comments) that are free, paid, open-source and closed source with large communities that solve this problem. At my last company, we had an Ubuntu machine running our git-server and it solved the issue you're saying.

Edit: You know what would make this awesome. If this project could some how extend GitHub via the API and somehow replace GitHub when it goes down. Sort of like a private HA solution to GitHub incase of an emergency. Now THAT is something that I'd look at and say "okay this solves a new challenge with the current state of hosted Git platforms."
First, let me say that this is really creative work and I'm glad it's being presented at EMNLP.

"Sentiment analysis" is too broad of a category to really cover in a single article like this. What they've done is taken a very difficult problem, sentence-level binary sentiment, and made solid progress on it. The baseline for this dataset using totally naive techniques is around 75%, and their results are the state of the art.

The move from 85% to 95% isn't really an interesting one. What really matters is exploring the numerous other open questions in the field of affect recognition, notably two thing:

* Sentiment at different granularities. Document level analysis has been far above 90% for years; this work is pushing forward sentence level. Other work is making great progress on targeted opinions even finer-grained than that, like looking at specific attributes of products. What if you like a movie's acting but not its plot? This structured nuance is not addressed here.

* Domain adaptation. You talk about movies in a different way from almost anything else. A movie review is positive if it's unpredictable; your opinion of the unpredictability of dishwashers or political candidates is probably different. For anything beyond movie reviews this method may work, but this particular dataset certainly won't.

Looking forward to seeing more from this group, as ever; Chris Manning's research team has an excellent reputation in the field.
Because people, including Brits, are more familiar with PRISM than TEMPORA. It has become synonymous with this scandal.

From a quick scan of the sources, H2 seems to be an hard-coded dependency. Do you have any plan on abstracting the Slick driver to allow others DB providers ?

> The actual site and system seems rather simple

I daresay it is. But even a simple web site hakes time and effort to build. And getting security right is always non-trivial.

You may well be right; I've never used any of them.

If building a new darknet ecommerce site was a simple as:

sudo apt-get install silk-road

don't you think there'd be more of them? The lower the barriers to entry, the sooner someone will build something the authorities can't shut down.
But if a UI works and is not copyrighted? I am against a scarcity mindset where we have to reinvent the wheel. Naoki has saved time and spent it more productively on the codebase and then released it as an OS product, good.

Thanks. Just to be clear, I appreciate the effort and do not say it was something illegal to do.

I was just wondering about theoretical consequences of cloning UI/tool of a successful company software with the reason of the tool/interface being too expensive.

If it's done for learning the technologies then it's "for educational purposes" and probably falls into another copyright use category that is more permissive.

To quote the old adage, "Quality, Speed, Cost: Pick any two."

Quality is possible without cost, but the speed at which you will acquire those developers is low. You will need to hunt from the bargain bin of inexperienced and/or overseas developers. You will choose poorly and you have to be ok with that. Create a process where you can let go the developers who don't work out and retain those who do easily. Parallelize this process if possible. Your local college, local programming user groups, and online contract work websites may be good places to stat looking.

Came to say this. There's every indication that as humans get healthier, more educated, wealthier and live longer (more post-scarcity, in other words) they switch from "breed more backups" to "nurture one or two offspring", and steady-state popultion comes out of that.

The sectors of wealthy economies which are still breeding fast are generally the poor (scarcity again) or people from social groups that were used to breeding lots, who are slowly getting the memo.

No, it won't allow websites to provide their own DRM implementation! The proposal only provides an interface to the HTMLMediaElement to be used by the website to talk to a restrictions module inside the browser. It does not specify how the restrictions module is implemented.

It also does not define a common API to load such a module in a browser. In fact the module can also be built into the browser. Which is exactly what Microsoft will be doing with their PlayReady for the Internet Explorer.

An open source browser would have to rely on the DRM module to do all the video decoding and rendering. If the module handles the unencrypted stream back to the browser then one could simply change the browser to dump the stream. A browser would also have to make sure that other JavaScript can't access the unencrypted content. So no more funny graphic effects with videos rendered onto canvas or WebGL textures.

This proposal will destroy the open web and make it rely on closed source binary blobs. A free software browser will end up being useless because it will be excluded from most of the content. Who would want to use Firefox or Chromium if they can't access YouTube? When we start to add DRM for media elements then how long can it be until publishers demand DRM for text and image content? And what argumentative position would the W3C have to refuse it?

With Firefox market share decreasing and proprietary browsers like Chrome, IE, Safari increasing we are in a really bad position. Microsoft can simply push their PlayReady in IE and provide plugins for Chrome and Safari. Netflix is already using PlayReady. So no change for them. And then Firefox is fucked. Linux is fucked.

And how long until Google moves YouTube to DRM? Google is involved in the design of the DRM proposal. If DRM is in HTML5 then it's just a simple step for them.

That's why we have to oppose DRM in HTML5 and keep the web open. It is sad that Tim Berners-Lee has given up on the open web. But I won't and I hope Mozilla won't and I hope you and others won't either.

The idea is that currently most video on the web plays in either Flash or Silverlight, which are poorly supported plugins which offer a huge amount of extra functionality and – more importantly – attack surface.

This is really only about replacing a huge proprietary blob with a much smaller one.

Yeah, there's certainly an 'art' to being direct as well.

So having said that, it's kind of tricky to pinpoint what was creepy about this guy and what's kind of fair game.

I mean, my feeling is that it's almost anachronistic to get worked up about this in 2013. Before he killed anybody, this guy got off the hook incredibly easy for drugging/raping a minor (and getting caught red handed!), as I understand was often the exception more than the rule before the 1980's. There was a recent story about how a lot of the decrease in crime is partly due to smaller gateway crimes like car theft becoming less common - I wonder if society's more vigilant stance on rape in recent decades could have had a similar effect.

Also, as common as it is to hate social networks, how much safer would this guy be if they'd done the standard 'Hey, you're cool, let's add eachother on Facebook' or 'Can you text me your address'? A minimal digital 'paper trail' would probably give a guy like this a lot of pause, and if he'd been hesitant/weird about those interactions, it'd probably be even more of a clue for even a young guy.
The only reason I haven't tried it is because I've never really used Heroku, but I'll give it a shot now, thanks.

Dislike the DRM in HTML5 attempt instead. What chance does Mozilla have to implement DRM? None. DRM can't be implemented in free software. They could add support for closed source proprietary blobs. But the W3C proposal does not specify how to do that. Meaning Google will do it through PPAPI and just ship Chrome with the modules included. IE will simply include PlayReady and Safari will include the Apple DRM.

Leaving Firefox stranded. If Firefox bends over and adds support for PlayReady and the other crap then this will effectively mean that Firefox will depend on proprietary binary blobs to do the video rendering. In other words it will be exactly like Flash but unlike Flash it won't work on Linux at all.

We have to oppose DRM in HTML5 and we shouldn't give up on the open web. It is sad that Tim Berners-Lee has given up on it and is destroying this own legacy. But we should fight it!

What's wrong with that? You have unelected judges deciding things in any country with a form of constitualial law. Not everything should be directly elected. A system where everything is decided by democracy can be bad too.

> unelected judges to subvert democracy...

If your definition of 'democracy' is a system of tyranny of the majority, where an elected government can do whatever it likes, create law in its own image without constitutional limit or fetter (for fear of 'subverting democracy'), then I don't particularly want to live in a democracy. And, thankfully, I don't.

Liberal democracy (in the classical sense) has the principle of Rule of Law rather than Rule of Man, with associated elements of due process, human rights, etc. ranking as more important than political will. This necessarily entails a disinterested, unelected, apolitical judiciary to decide when the legislature or executive has breached your constitution / human rights document / etc. This seems to work out a hell of a lot better than the alternative.

(Even if you reject that - and the UK in theory does have a system of Parliamentary sovereignty rather than legal sovereignty - it's still hardly 'subverting democracy'. The situation here is still the executive (GCHQ) may be acting in violation of the will of Parliament (as expressed in the HRA1998). Parliament delegates the task of deciding when the executive has violated its law to various judicial bodies, domestic and international).

2. Population growth up to the carrying capacity.

How is this different from the status quo? All you appear to be arguing is that we should stick with the status quo where you are required to use something supported by Flash or Silverlight.
