for context for that "context": Clearing up the confusion about our analysis of net neutrality comments to the FCC http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2014/12/17/clearing-up-th...

Have to agree, piqufoh's comment is asinine. Pandas is the first time I've even considered moving work done in R to a new all-python workflow. Exhaustive coverage by some imaginary, disinterested third party would still be forced to settle on pandas as the focus, because it literally is the only game in town.

As to the merits, per se, of having some third party write the book: I'm doubtful. I followed wesm's development through blog posts, twitter updates, etc. Writing pandas forced him to consider a lot aspects of dealing with data in python, both deep and practical. In the process, I'm confident he became one of the foremost experts in not only his own software but in the current state of Data Analysis in Python. Who better to write this book?

the discussion here is weird. isn't this obviously about the across-the-board practice of bundling browsers with OSes, which is the rule in mobile OS and is culminating in Chrome OS?

"Most Yahoo Mail ads generate revenue based on impressions, not clicks. So Yahoo isn't directly making more money by grabbing these "random" clicks"

perhaps not, but surely if I was to buy such an ad and pay per impression, I'd probably like to know what the impression/click ratio was. no doubt Yahoo advertises a low one to potential buyers...

this is the citizen cosponsor position site that was just mentioned on the floor: http://act.credoaction.com/campaign/disclose_citizen_cospons...

this guy was VP/CIO of engineering at Google? seriously?

tl;dr

"So if there was all this corporate rage over SOPA and PIPA why aren’t we seeing the same type of reaction when it comes to CISPA?

The short answer to this is because it doesn’t really change the way that they do business with the government and law enforcement agencies already, and contrary to what you would think companies like Facebook and Microsoft support CISPA.

It is important to realize that unless any requests for a person’s private information comes are part of a CISPA cybersecurity request companies aren’t ‘forced’ to share that information; but under CISPA when they do share that information they can no longer face any legal actions from anyone."

How fitting is it that the white house official response contains an incorrectly rendered HTML entity?

"The greatest enemy of freedom is a happy slave."

...you know, it doesn't follow that making slaves unhappy will net more freedom.

this sounds like limbaugh's apology the other day. "sorry that our WORDS made our sponsors mad. we should have used different WORDS." missed the point.

i love love love what they're doing with Gephi, especially the ability to generate a collaborative, web based graph UI.

HOWEVER, a word to the wise: I've had a LOT of trouble saving and opening saved files. there's a few tickets open, but I haven't seen any progress. that's sortof a dealbreaker when it comes to doing professional work :/

hahaha i hope this guy is ready to be purified by a storm of angry frustrated entroporn enthusiasts

yeah this is FUD of the first order

it's arguably never been less disruptive to switch from DST to EST. the only clock in my life that doesn't auto-sync to some global standard is the timex on my wrist.

that pie chart made my eyes barf

this looks like internet cointelpro, honestly. who owns that domain? my money's on koch industries. doesn't seem in keeping with the #occupy movement to require a login to comment on such a post.

what are your criteria for identifying popular articles? also, is there any NLP involved in the summarization process, or is it all manual?

someone never tried to use javascript on a blackberry.... ;)

right. this is a direct TOS violation, right?

what would make this even more amazing would be the ability to automatically clip the quote you want from the movie. automatically time-aligning the text to audio is trivial, although i imagine this may have copyright implications.
