SESTA FOSTA is heavily criticized because people are worried about keyword based censorship. The Recognant API doesn't use keywords, it use NLU, and so it is much less likely to flag a post that is about the sex of a litter of puppies for sale, and much more likely to flag an ad looking to trade rent money for a hand job.

Yeah, actually they will. It isn't in xls, it is typically in an XML format.

and since google provides the info to the NSA on demand does it matter which of them does the collection?

I was feeling sentimental on Thanksgiving, but I also think it is important for younger entrepreneurs to see that startups aren't something you build over night, and many don't start when they are founded, many start decades earlier.

Finding the prime factors of large numbers is hard. Cryptography is almost exclusively about picking two Large Primes, Multiplying them, and then using that very large, very hard to factor number as a key.

This is overly simple, but it is the very core of every modern crypto. So understanding it is the best place to start.

Your enthusiasm as great. But be aware by saying you think this is something you can do in a week you are telling the world you think programming is a semi-skilled job.

I learned to weld when I was 7. I can make art or patch up a broken plow. A real welder can make a boat because all his seams are water tight, and cam patch body work because his seams are so smooth. 27 years of welding as a hobby or for bits of maintenance and I am not a welder.

Picking a name that conflicts with a major trade mark seems like a bad idea.

If this is the case then every developer working at a 12 hour a day Start up, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook (who all are anti-moonlighting) are bad developers.

I don't have side projects. My one main project is all consuming enough that side projects would be distractions. The only distractions I can afford are enough to keep my live/work balance so I don't burn out.

Natural Language Understanding is how we talk to our devices, and while the tech savvy interact with phones like they learn commands for a programming language, the majority of people want to interact with their phone in a more natural way.

While many people don't want to "talk" to their phone the truth is the ability to give commands quickly via voice can be a huge advantage over touch interfaces. It is much easier to say "I ate a banana" rather than open a calorie counting app, select the banana, and exit the app.

As Google starts to get creepy hardware companies are looking to provide the same functionality with out all of the big brother built in to the phones. This is creating a gold rush for the human resources to make this possible.
