Doesn't Google have an interest to make the web better? Why don't they offer a simple Spam Check JSON API -- you submit a text as URL parameter, they return a number representing the likeliness this bit of text is spam?

Good idea. Algorithm: search for the text and determine whether it is oft-repeated boilerplate or near links to the same page scattered across many blogs.
- Daniel Dulitz
from iPhone
I'd be concerned about spammers using this as a way to gauge how well they are bypassing Google's detection. A well-written machine learning algorithm that optimizes spam phrases based on the return value from Google's JSON API could theoretically improve to the point of not looking like spam.
- Bill Strathearn
Using the text alone is likely to bring a lot of false positives. Just think of all the "Great post, thank you" comment spammers -- some people may actually be posting that legitimately while others just want a link.
- John μller
What Bill said. You'd have to train up a different, non-production classifier. Then you face the question of whether you want to support that API/feature forever, esp. given that the bad guys might end up getting lots of mileage out of such an API.
- Matt Cutts
John, I would probably *manually* delete a comment that reads "Great post, thank you" (believing it's spam). But you could also simply show a captcha when the API says it might be spam -- which would then be harmless to those low-confidence returns (and I would think "Great post, thank you" would receive a low confidence rating due to being so short). I.e. those who really want to post such "spamlike" congratulations would merely need to complete the captcha.
- Philipp Lenssen
Bill and Matt, interesting and unfortunate problem, though is there any way to resolve that issue? And how do programs like Akismet solve that problem?
- Philipp Lenssen
Bill's and Matt's issues are surmountable, but at what cost? Philipp, turning the question around, why would you want this? It would be more accurate/useful to perform the spam check within a higher level service, which could have an API.
- Daniel Dulitz
Isn't essentially what the DCC does : http://www.rhyolite.com/dcc/
- Soren Riise
What would also be interesting would be a service that separates legitimate people names from product / service names. I think I would totally install that as a plugin on my blog, Mr. "discount plane tickets" & Ms. "best data recovery" can go post their comments elsewhere :-)

John — I get that kind of comment spam from names like Tanwa, Philip, Jay, Vector, Youku, and Lance. :-(

As far as I know, this is simply the blue pigments in your eye more depleted than the red, causing the gray walls to show up redish. This is local, hence you need to focus on the dot, before and after the switch, otherwise it won't work.

Whoa, that was cool!! trippy experience :)

The best part is seeing the positive color image, looking away a bit and seeing that it's actually grey, and looking back at the dot and having the color snap back in.

More and more people are looking to minimalism to improve their lives, getting rid of the clutter and stress and only keeping the things that are important. If minimalism can improve the way we live our lives, the way we work and the way we get things done, could it be used to improve our photography?

- Michael Fidler
it'd definitely going to take me a while to get to a million. I'm publishing about 200 photos to flickr a week right now and at this pace it will take 92 years to get there. I'll get the pace up to 400-500 a week in the future though. Better technology should make processing easier and someday my kids will be grown and I'll be able to quit my day job and focus on this even more. The best photos have yet to be taken.
- Thomas Hawk
When I think about this I realize your best days are ahead of you.
- Russellreno

- Darin aka iGoByDoc
What's your shot/publish ratio? I mean, on average how many shots do you take to produce those you publish?
- Yuval Atzmon
atzmon, I probably average about 2,000 shots a week that I shoot. And I'm probably processing 300 or so of those a week at present, so I'm probably keeping about 15%. The other 85% never get processed and are kept in my archives. I'm trying only to process and publish the shots that I think meet a certain quality criteria.
- Thomas Hawk
Wow and Congrats!!
- Vox
Dude, you're a machine.
- Zee.
Jauder, the good news is that processing will only get easier in the future. I've watched it get better with each successive Adobe release. Lightroom 2.0 is the best processing tool yet. It's not necessarily faster per se though because with more tools there are yet even more ways to tweak a photo hence even more time. But the tools to speed things up are coming too. auto geotagging, better anti dust tech, faster processing speeds, easier online tools with faster broadband are all around the corner.

Today's project: road editor for a game. Drag the point out to increase the size of the curved section; drag it back to increase the straight section.
Alex Carobus, Dan Hsiao, Dylan Parker and 2 other people liked this
I partly implemented this and I'm quite happy with using circular arcs instead of Bezier curves. The demo is here: http://wiki.github.com/amitp... . You can mess with the road on the right, and use the slider above it to control the arc size. Eventually I'll integrate the arc size slider into the road itself. I also need to implement limits on the size so that it doesn't go out of bounds.

Alieb: yes, it's a joke you're not getting. A balloon filled to that size with hydrogen will make an awesome explosion when ignited, as opposed to the recommended helium which would just do nothing. And bob's suggestion is recommending an 8' water balloon.
