I wonder if you and the rest of these commenters extend the same amount of compassion to the hundreds of thousands of non violent people stuck in prison that you do to the multimillionaire CEO of a state surveillance company. Someone who literally got away with shooting up a place of worship.

And if you do, great. Lets work towards fixing the mass incarceration problem in our country. That way, many more people can be given the same second chance that allowed Patton to attain a material wealth that vastly surpasses the overwhelming majority of humans on the planet.

I'm working on a simple little utilty for finding and exploring internal rhyme schemes in poems and songs. I made this in order to better show people just how complex a rap artist's rhyme combinations can get. You can view my work in progress online at http://reasonedrhymer.com (Click on a combo or word to filter the results)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/j7u3f9rllmb1jbx/Screen%20Shot%2020... The screen shot shows a subset of the rhyme combos found in the Eminem song 'Lose Yourself'.

The reason 'have it' wasn't matched is because the vowel phoneme in the word 'have' is: "AE" whereas the example in the screenshot was matching combos with successive vowels "AH - IH". So 'have' didn't match that scheme. I agree that these should match, and have been throwing around the idea of matching similar sounding phonemes together.

I completely agree though, the metre/rhythm plays a huge part in a poet or rapper's flow and you don't get the full story without incorporating it. The issue is that I haven't found a way to programmatically pull the metre from a song, and rapper's don't generally keep track of their metre, let alone put it online in a machine readable format (though I'm sure you could find ones for hugely popular songs like 'Lose Yourself' online!).

I am interested in figuring this out though, and have been throwing around ideas for people to simply generate metre for songs by having a tool that simply allows users to match words to times in a song. Though I'm not sure how scalable that is, or how to create such a tool that is drastically simple and fast to use, because otherwise it defeats the point. My hope is that there'd be a way to algorithmically parse the audio and look for inflection points in a song for where words might lie but I've done no research towards that end. digression: This kinda tech would probably be useful for generating 'sing-a-longs'

A utilty for finding and exploring internal rhyme schemes in poems and songs. I made this in order to better show people just how complex a rap artist's rhyme combinations can get. This was created with CMU's pronunction dictionary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMU_Pronouncing_Dictionary)

The screen shot shows a subset of the rhyme combos found in the Eminem song 'Lose Yourself'. You can view my work in progress online at http://reasonedrhymer.com (Click on a combo or word to filter the results)

What I wanna do eventually: - Permalinks to analysis for specific songs (and which current combo's are being viewed in that song) - Speed up the core algorithm - Allow people to add new words to the pronunctiation dictionary - Move away from the barebones bootstrappy look - Explain the process visibly on the site

where's react?

I think it's super clever. It's like we've finally achieved enlightenment over the dom

Aw, I just got the old version a few weeks ago.

Pointing out that a problem exists is still valuable.

I'm building a discussions platform that works in a similar fashion to workflowy. I guess you could say it's a collaborative workflowy. for Check it out: http://ec2-50-16-106-77.compute-1.amazonaws.com/

I think the idea of infinitely nested lists are useful for many things. The tree structure is quite powerful.

Can't tell if this is real or parody.

I completely agree with this. It's actually part of the philosophy that inspired the structure of my new communications platform app.

You can link the same post as a reply to multiple items. This allows for complete flexibility. Posts that are relevant to more than one section can live in each of those places

Don't neglect the fact that advancements in our technology do have an impact on the socio-economical and cultural elements of our society. The way twitter played a huge role in the revolutions around the world show that. The internet has given each person with access an unparalleled source of information right at our finger tips, and has helped push forward globalization.

I agree that there are many problems that are cultural and psychological, however technology can be part of the solution.

Wait... why wouldn't you release it to the world?

Thanks for the feedback! Yea, the breadcrumb path is actually the next feature I plan on implementing. Also, to go up one path, just click on the currently selected item.

Hey, I've been working on a similar concept that does exactly what you suggested. Take a look: http://ec2-50-16-106-77.compute-1.amazonaws.com/0

Cool stuff T!

The nested threads idea is pretty neat, I've been working on something similar and it's also very alpha. (The site doesn't even have a real domain). Check it out here: http://ec2-50-16-106-77.compute-1.amazonaws.com/0

Hey, I'm Yedi and I'm graduating from Worcester Polytechnic Institute soon. I'm a full-stack web developer and I enjoy making systems and architectures for various web application. I've made websites using various frameworks/tools (mysql, less/css, html5, flask, bootstrap, apache's web server, amazon's ec2) I use python and javascript mainly now, but I have experience in php, java, c, c++, and I've started learning Clojure. Currently in Worcester Mass, and I'm looking for part time work/freelance work now, and potentially a job for when I graduate.

The slides don't fit vertically on my screen, so some of the content is cut off. There's no scroll bar so initially it was difficult to figure how to see the info cut off from the bottom. Chrome's text zoom out didn't work either.

I had to highlight the text and drag downwards in order to see the content. But it was annoying having to do this for every slide with a lot of content.

Otherwise, these libraries seem really useful. Thanks for this.

It feels wrong to endorse this as a solution. This is one of the biggest problems with the current American government. Instead of contributing to this issue we should be trying to fix this system that allows for open corruption and corporate interests controlling politics.

What's going to happen next time a piece of legislation turns up that we don't like? Should we just continue to pay off congress?

At the very least, regretsy gets a donation to help their cause. Which, despite all the problems paypal caused, is one good thing to come out of all this.

I might be looking at this wrong, but it seemed like Google was just pointing out an example of how this tactic has been effective in the past. They don't say anything about whether they condone the use of this strategy for the specific case of Wikileaks.

The hearing is over.

Should he have put Obama on a pedestal instead?

The question is how can you use a biased coin to reproduce an unbiased coin flip.

In this article, they give the example of a coin that flips heads 70% of the time. Their method was to flip the coin twice. They only considered cases where heads was flipped once and tails was flipped once because these cases both had a 21% chance of happening. So both cases have the same chance of occurring. In order to differentiate between the two cases, you consider the first coin flip to be your result. So heads than tails is the same as getting a heads and tails than heads is the same as getting a tails.

Yea... because that's easier and cheaper than downloading an app.
