heh. The original paper was released in 1994.

Ah!

How do the Google iOS apps handle authentication, since NFC security keys aren’t supported by Apple?

I believe the Feitan key mentioned in the article supports Bluetooth LE. If you go to their website it shows that they support iOS.

NFC keys are now a possible reality since iOS 11 API opened up the hardware to developers.

Here's an example: https://github.com/hansemannn/iOS11-NFC-Example

For the record, it's only possible to READ tags using iOS 11.

If you're signing into a Google app, it'll kick you over to the Google Smart Lock app. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-smart-lock/id11520663...

I don't think it supports things like Safari though.

Here's one to spin up some temporary EC2 instances: https://github.com/newsapps/beeswithmachineguns

Here's a Python script I used when I ran a SSL monitoring site: https://gist.github.com/bretwalker/5420652. It'd be easy enough to get this running as in cron job.

Jerad's a great dev and a great person. You guys did well!

Oh, nice -- until I saw your comment I wasn't aware Jerad was a Louisville local! Congrats Jerad, and congratulations to Kaggle!

Has anyone seen Open Calais [1]? It does tagging and categorization. It's been around for years and seems pretty powerful. It's a bit lower-level than Algorithmia (not href aware), but it seems more powerful, and a system like Algorithmia could be built on it.

That's a great answer, and it's encouraging.

Yes, I'm talking about the US. Louisville, Ky., to be specific.

I haven't been blown away by what I've read in the RFI responses, but, then again, they're pretty high-level. http://www.louisvilleky.gov/economicdevelopment/OfficeofInno...

The city does seem to be doing what it can to encourage and help providers, but I don't think they are willing to invest capital. Not sure whether or not that is a dealbreaker.
