To be fair, Linux users aren't really completely left behind, there's the web interface (play.spotify.com). I'd be interested to know how many people use native app vs. web interfa…

This is great news for Jupyter (IPython) Notebooks: https://plot.ly/python/offline/ It basically provides interactive inline visualizations, making it great for data exploration (w…

I agree that the analogy doesn't hold for the recent VW debacle (where the calibration was changed during certification testing), but it holds for the industry in large and what ha…

I think it is a bit unfair to just blame the manufacturers. The legislation could likely be changed to make for a more robust test approach. After all, it is engineers we are talki…

Well done! Just one thing I noticed, the speed is mph and the distance unit is meters. Would be nice to change speed to km/h.

Articles like this just confirms my theory that car journalists are the biggest obstacle for the automotive industry to truly innovate. It is as if they dictate the requirements fo…

Nice implementation - less is more! What algorithm did you use for color extraction? I seem to getting colors with the correct hue, but too low saturation? (example: Ferrari) You c…

Fair point, Nonetheless, I felt the topic was worth discussing. In my experience "teams of very talented people" can often turn into "teams of very competitive people".

I have not read the full article (pay wall), but I have definitely experienced this in professional settings. I'd be interested to hear other people's thoughts on this, especially …

Did you consider doing spline fits to the x,y coordinates and then just saving the spline coefficients instead? The fit process could likely be done client-side, and could offer so…

Of course, and I'm sure dealing with the many different data sources (ie. weather and TV listings) makes it even more complicated!

Yes, that makes sense, thanks for the insight.

Although this article discusses the actual collection and transmission of data, what I find more interesting is how efficiently the vast amount of data is being used in the decisio…

>"my current work visa application had been complicated due to a filing mistake" Making a mistake is not an acceptable excuse for these people (even Brad Feld experienced this [1])…

Very nice (I'd heart the software if I could!) Hype machine is fantastic for music discovery. The big hits always surface there months before they hit the radio/mainstream. Any cha…

Thanks, yes foundations is probably a better word. Are these usually a legal entity or just informally organized?

I'm thinking of starting an open source project. The project would entail creating and maintaing numerical models used in process engineering. Users of this would either be researc…
