    Only in part. The part of Airbus that deals with confidential information [1] will stay on the Microsoft stack for a while (at least for e-mails). [1] https://www.theregister.co.uk…

    I think the random walk is incorporating the "hidden" knowledge which clusters the nodes in the graph together. As they use inference to create the links between the nodes, that wi…

    This is pretty sad to hear both from the perspective of the lost life of the test pilot who was willing to take on the risk of pioneering space flight, as well as from the perspect…

    This might be a stupid idea, but maybe use pairs of translator to get the text translated forwards and then backwards to the original language, and compare how much of the message …

    I think the original source is on a youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPKKQnijnsM . The video aggregates data from multiple sources: http://www.motherjones.com/polit…

    On a related note about the economic system have a look at this: http://www.upworthy.com/9-out-of-10-americans-are-completely... This is what happens when wealth accumulates at the…

    I second this. Decompiling java to bytecode is not only easy, but not very hard to read with a bit of experience. It's like reading normal java code but slightly more concise haha.…
