Sorry, I agree with the OP. I interpreted the "Success Stories" page, especially when it is sub-titled "Our prior work speaks for itself" as referring to the work performed through Gigstar. There is a difference between allowing somebody to claim work they performed versus assigning that claim to the body that employs them after the fact. This example, just because of the lack of clarity, presents itself as the latter which is a little unfair in itself.


Hard to tell with the noise out the Eurozone. Together, the next week will be a bit of a bumpy ride.

Definitely agree with your first statement; maybe you should look towards Australia as an example country that over the past 5 years has been increasingly following Chinese financial markets (Commodities and now property).


Especially interesting in light of this, their analysis of traffic from the sec: http://sandhill.exchange/blog/sec-analysis


You have to keep in mind that to get to Europe, any Australasian has to stop over at least once. Dubai is the most convenient; so really this route is Australasia to Europe.


Well, yes. Dubai is the Emirates hub. Europe-Australasia is one reason Dubai makes sense as a hub location. In fact one of the (few) redeeming features of travelling to Europe from Australasia is the large number of countries that are about half way, meaning a lot of airline/stopover options.


Yes, some NLP POS (part of speech) taggers do use context. I'm not entirely sure if they work in the way that you describe. I believe that they use the grammar of the sentence to derive what the tags over the sentence are. That is, they can tag the sentence on what they know and then iterate over the sentence until everything can fit into the grammar (or corpus) that it was trained on.

If you want more background - the nltk book, in particular chapter five is a good place to start: http://www.nltk.org/book/ch05.html

What library did you use? NLTK on Python 2.7 gave the following:

[('We', 'PRP'), ('will', 'MD'), ('project', 'VB'), ('our', 'PRP$'), ('earnings', 'NNS')]


Interesting I'll have to take a look at this Python lib. I was trying out various Node.JS libs.


I do. I feel as if this solves nothing important, but makes it easier for people to be lazy - if they have money.

While businesses have to be focused on the markets that have money, I feel like this has gone to far; how can this be used to solve the problems of people who are busy but do not have money?


The context is also highly political. The results can be misconstrued and used to fit a storyline. The author states it has a huge societal impact, which is true - but I feel like climate change models are more important to politians than the majority of citizens.


I would guess that it is part of Yahoo's strategy to keep everybody within the same "walled garden".


I found there was a visible link on the page that said "FIRST TIME HERE?! Better late than never - Read THIS", which takes you to http://offliberty.com/#about. The below content is what appeared.

I read that and still had no idea what it was really meant to do, until I came here and read the comments.

And I'm a web developer.


I think a lot of it depends what currency you are using to buy the btc. For AUD I've heard positive things about https://www.coinjar.com/, for USD I've heard that https://www.bitstamp.net/ is alright. I am not making any claims about either - just heard from others that they have been decent to use (quick, alright customer service).
