So what's video and audio programme? It has a definition, but in practice it has to be interpreted some way. That's why regulation can GET tight sometimes. China is complicated.

btw0 | 8 years ago | on: China Bans Livestreaming

I have been running a live streaming app here in China for two years.

The title of this gets so wrong - China did not ban livestreaming. Yes, the regulation of livestreaming services gets very very tight recently, we have been fined due to inappropriate content.

The website mentioned in the article like Weibo, AcFun are not about livestreaming, they're YouTube-like video sites. You need special license to run YouTube-like video sites, just the license is almost impossible to apply for non state-run company. There are only 500 something licenses ever issued, you need to acquire a company that have the license, surely the price is extremely high due to scarcity.

I built a Chrome Extension to help myself better identify hot content on HN years ago and can't live without it.

Great Idea! But why not try out the Social Hotness Chrome extension which already has a usable "social meter" for Hacker News.

Not sure where you are in China, but 8.8.8.8 is not blocked for me here in Beijing and everywhere I visited - Shanghai & Hubei province.

Thanks. I am thinking about the same thing on the "clarity" detection and numbers can be used to do some visualisation. Yes, I am going to try it out.

I use it to watch the air condition of Beijing urban area http://madk.org/beijing-sky-photo.html

Even more interestingly, "ma(ma)" means breast too in the dialect of my home town which locates at the central part of China.

btw0 | 13 years ago | on: Machine Learning and Link Spam: My Brush With Insanity

I've built an anti-spam system for Delicious.com using Naive Bayes classifier with a really huge feature database, think tens of millions, mostly tokens in different parts of the page, those features are given different weights which contribute to the final probability aggregation. The result was similar to what the OP achieved - around 80% accuracy. The piece of work was really interesting and satisfying.

very clever URL for the resulting page

Simply sad.

Thanks for pointing out the concern. Some permissions are not needed indeed, I'll change the twitter oauth settings. But my web app really doesn't do anything other than pulling in the basic user info though.
