Don't want to prompt unneccesary debate, but her understanding of Gandhi and his assessment of the Gita is incomplete. Gandhi has written explicitly about (what she calls) the "warrior Gita". Moreover, her demarcation of the "Two Gitas" is something not a lot of people would agree with.

Personally, I've read a lot of commentaries and evaluations of the book, including the orignal, and I've found Gandhi's version to be the most powerful.

Maybe I am missing out potential applications but I can't understand why I would like to search the entire web with a regex pattern? Find all strings that could be SSNs?

Incorrect. Hindi and English are the two official languages. There is no "national language", officially.

I had the same thought, except this would be a parody of /g/ as well given how much Model M's are popular there.

For almost all of my queries, this is just giving me the list of "categories" on the corresponding wikipedia page, leaving out the wiki-specific ones such as " Articles with Open Directory Project links", etc. Clicking the categories just opens the listings on the corresponding Wikipedia category page.

I love your game. I discovered it on a forum mid-2012 and used it to break into and get comfortable with an unprinted happy hacking keyboard. Nice choice of music too, I usually turn off background music wherever I find it. Could you tell us what is the music that plays in the background?

My voting behavior on HN is very different from other websites. Since the saved stories and upvotes are the same, and upvotes cannot be taken back, I use the upvote as a "save story" button. There are many submissions which are not of a good quality, but the ensuing discussion on the wider topic prompts me to save the submissions as there is no option to save comments. I maintain a separate database of my saved stories, which I keep preiodically updating and pruning, primarily for NLP and ML experiments. So that is my personally "curated" list of HN bookmarks. Though I must say my visits here have become less frequent.

I think, and I am not an expert by far, that this just shows what the market value of those art pieces are when removed from their context. You won't pay more than $30-60 for it unless you are told otherwise by someone of authority - an art critic or a market of affluent and competing buyers motivated by various reasons. There is also the fact that he did it in NY, where $60 is acceptable to many buyers. The sales would have been diffirent in rural Alabama or New Delhi.
