...my experience with site reviewing restaurants is awful. I use them just as search engines to find a list of restaurants close to my location, then I ask to friends if they visited them. To my experience sites like Tripadvisor are just too much infested by fake reviews, either positive or negative. Among the reviews, last month I found on Tripadvisor a nice gem: a very positive comment about a restaurant very close to where I live. The restaurant was indeed excellent and reasonably cheap, but it was shut down more than two years ago, and the review was posted last month...draw your own conclusions.

Government agencies like CIA and NSA use Signetics 25120 to store very sensitive information. After writing the data, the original source is then destroyed...

They made the assumption that if a disease is spreading somewhere, there people start looking for information about the disease on wikipedia.
This implicitly makes some big assumptions, among which the facts that people are aware of the disease and that they have internet access.

You can easily understand why their approach is of very limited usefulness, and scientifically questionable. I think that it is not by chance that their method fails to work when analyzing data for Uganda (where internet usage probably isn't widespread) and does not score well for China (where censorships both limits information about disease outbreaks and internet access).

They also state in their paper: "With these constraints in mind, we used our professional judgement to select diseases and countries.", and this raised my eyebrows a lot...

I would like to put at chance their approach by sifting wikipedia access data looking for Ebola keyword in slovenian language, and then forecast the diffusion of Ebola in Slovenia (equal to nil up to now...), but I try to use my time for testing methods that are better-posed.

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."

But I wonder if this classifies as "Automate basic jobs so I don't have to talk to humans" or as "Fight other people for my amusement"

...I think that we should study the algorithm, and adopt behaviours that can deliver us more money from our employer :-)

This should stop jailbreaking...

Actually, when talking about telephones, he said: "ten keys ought to be enough for anybody".

...it seems that CIA is developing a USB waterboard to be interfaced with the interrogation chatbot.

...they are probably the best weapon to stop cornal events.

...the bozone layer grows faster.

..Apple sued NFL for having called "Ipad" a Microsoft Surface tablet.

They do. AMD will sell you just a core for only $28.625. Isn't it a ripoff ?!?

The german national anthem so begins:
