Quora 1 Quora Quora 1 Quora Quora, Inc. Type Private Founder Adam D'Angelo Charlie Cheever Headquarters Palo Alto, California Area served Worldwide [1] Employees 26 Slogan | [2] Website quora.com [3] Alexa rank 869 Type of site Knowledge organization [4] Registration Required to post (United States, United Kingdom), Invitation only (Worldwide) Available in English Launched June 2009 Current status Active Quora is an online knowledge market. Users ask and answer questions from other users, and read existing questions and answers. The site was founded in June 2009, launched in private beta in December 2009, and made available to the public on June 21, 2010.[5] Quora aggregates questions and answers to topics and allows users to collaborate on them by editing questions and suggesting edits to other users' answers.[6] Quora's main competitors are social bookmarking sites like reddit, social networking sites like Yahoo Answers, LinkedIn, Answerbag and Answers.com, and expert question-answer communities like the Stack Exchange. History Quora was co-founded by two former Facebook employees, Adam D'Angelo and Charlie Cheever. D'Angelo quit his position at Facebook in January 2010 to create Quora[7] and said he was inspired to create Quora because he thought:[8] "that Q & A is one of those areas on the internet where there are a lot of sites, but no one had come along and built something that was really good yet." Quora's base of users grew quickly in December 2010.[9] In March, 2010 Quora received $11 million in funding from Benchmark Capital, valuing the start-up at $86 million.[10] Quora 2 Website Quora is designed to be an online social form of a knowledge market. Users follow topics that they are interested in and questions and answers in those topics are displayed in the user's news feed. The service allows users to ask questions and give answers. Additionally, users can comment on the questions, and "upvote" or "downvote" answers. An "Answer Summary" can be created to reflect the consensus of the community; this summary is a wiki that can be edited by any registered user. Users can also create stand-alone "Posts", which resemble blog posts.[11] Technology Quora uses Pylons and Comet for its backend and Ubuntu Linux as its operating system with MySQL as its database. It also uses Git and memcached. Quora uses Nginx as a reverse proxy server and HAProxy for load balancing. Quora has developed its own algorithm for ranking the answers, which works on similar principles to PageRank.[12] Quora uses Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud technology to host the servers that run their website.[13] [14] References [1] "How many people work at Quora?

For years, I have been what you might call a backup fanac. I back up my operang system, my VMs, and my hosng — all regularly. This is all fairly easy and can be parally automated. But when it comes to smaller cloud services, I have to rely on manual methods. That’s things like Todoist, cloud-hosted password managers, and everything that isn’t a big monolith with an easy export funconality like G Suite. Two services had always proven troublesome in this respect, however: Quora and Reddit. https://www.danielrosehill.co.il/myblog/how-to-extract-your-data-from-quora-and-reddit/ 1/9 7/6/2020 How to Extract Your Data From Quora and Reddit | Daniel Rosehill Blog Yes, there are GitHub-hosted projects aplenty promising to scrape data from both (like this project) — but a nave funconality is obviously always preferable — both technically and from a reliability perspecve. And last me I checked none of the Quora scrapers worked. So … I’m pleased to report that aer a lile bit of digging I am pleased to have discovered a way to back up both services. Neither company provides convenient backup funconalies that the user can administer themselves (as Facebook, Medium, Twier, and LinkedIn all do). But what can I say — people begging for copies of their own data can’t be choosers.

  • Classification of Insincere Questions Using SGD Optimization and SVM
    Classification of Insincere Questions using SGD Optimization and SVM Classifiers Akshaya Ranganathan, Haritha Ananthakrishnan, Thenmozhi D, Chandrabose Aravindan Department of CSE, SSN College of Engineering, Chennai fakshaya16009,[email protected] ftheni d, [email protected] Abstract. The burgeoning of online question and answer forums like Quora, Stack Overflow, etc. has helped answer millions of questions across the globe. However, this also simultaneously engendered the prob- lem of Insincere Questions. Insincere questions are those that have a nonneutral undertone with no intention of seeking useful answers. The Classification of Insincere Questions task at FIRE 2019 did not just fo- cus on binary classification of insincere questions, but went a step further and introduced a fine-grained classification of 6 labels, namely: rhetorical, hate speech, sexual content, hypothetical, other and sincere questions. The solution offered by SSN NLP used a 2 level approach. The funda- mental level comprised of SGD optimized SVM Classification model. In addition to this, the corpus was filtered based on frequently occurring, relevant keywords. This approach produced an accuracy of 48% Keywords: Classification · Insincere Questions · SVM Classifier · SGD Optimizer · Relevant Keywords 1 1 Introduction With millions of questions being asked daily across myriad Q & A platforms, there is a pressing need to eliminate redundant and potentially dangerous in- sincere questions. The sheer volume of questions asked every single day makes it a mammoth task for human moderators. Question forums such as Quora, Stack Overflow and Yahoo Answers used to deploy methods to manually weed out such insincere questions before the advent of Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing.

  • DATA REVELATIONS Nominum Data Science Security Report
    DATA REVELATIONS Nominum Data Science Security Report Spring 2017 1 Nominum Data Science EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Since our Fall 2016 Data Revelations Report, the world has been abuzz with talk of cybercrime. No longer confined to cybersecurity blogs or industry conferences, 2016 was the year cybersecurity dominated the headlines. Consider the Dyn attacks in October where Twitter, Netflix, the New York Times and other trusted websites went offline for hours. Or the ransomware attack that took San Francisco’s Municipal Railway (MUNI) ticketing system offline in November. Or the April 2017 arrest of a well-known cybercrime kingpin who is allegedly responsible for the well-known Kelihos botnet and may have been involved with the hacking of the Democratic National Committee. In 2017, Nominum Data Science has witnessed significant increases in cybercrime. As the DNS supplier to service providers serving over one-third of the world’s internet subscribers, Nominum has a unique vantage point from which to investigate internet security threats. By analyzing over 100 billion DNS queries every day from around the world, Nominum uncovers patterns and anomalies to inform real-time threat intelligence feeds that keep our customers’ networks, businesses and consumers safe. The good news is that cybercrime is not a black box: it is an efficient, rational market, which can be analyzed like any other market; it has products, services and processes, albeit malicious ones, which can be examined and evaluated. Once an attacker’s motivations and tactics are understood, it is easier to prescribe and develop the right countermeasures. In this report, we introduce the Nominum Cyberattack Ladder, a framework that looks at cybercrime from a criminal’s perspective and breaks down the various processes and stages of an attack.

  • Exploiting Microblogging Service for Warming up Social Question Answering Websites
    Knowledge Sharing via Social Login: Exploiting Microblogging Service for Warming up Social Question Answering Websites Yang Xiao1, Wayne Xin Zhao2, Kun Wang1 and Zhen Xiao1 1School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science, Peking University, China 2School of Information, Renmin University of China, China xiaoyangpku, batmanfly @gmail.com {wangkun, xiaozhen @net.pku.edu.cn} { } Abstract Community Question Answering (CQA) websites such as Quora are widely used for users to get high quality answers. Users are the most important resource for CQA services, and the awareness of user expertise at early stage is critical to improve user experience and reduce churn rate. However, due to the lack of engagement, it is difficult to infer the expertise levels of newcomers. Despite that newcomers expose little expertise evidence in CQA services, they might have left footprints on external social media websites. Social login is a technical mechanism to unify multiple social identities on different sites corresponding to a single person entity. We utilize the social login as a bridge and leverage social media knowledge for improving user performance prediction in CQA services. In this paper, we construct a dataset of 20,742 users who have been linked across Zhihu (similar to Quora) and Sina Weibo. We perform extensive experiments including hypothesis test and real task evaluation. The results of hypothesis test indicate that both prestige and relevance knowledge on Weibo are correlated with user performance in Zhihu. The evaluation results suggest that the social media knowledge largely improves the performance when the available training data is not sufficient. 1 Introduction One of the main challenges for social startup websites is how to gain a considerable number of users quickly.

The issue has been debated many, many times since then, and probably quite frequently leading up to the publication of their article. Whether or not reference is obsolete, there is no denying that its practice is evolving. Quora (www.quora.com) is a contemporary, web-based take on ref- erence. Users post questions within Quora and other users answer the questions. Users can vote for and against answers (or not vote at all). It is users asking questions of friends and strangers and then sorting through the results. If the model sounds familiar, it’s because it is. There are many ac- tive question-and-answer sites, like Yahoo! Answers (answers.yahoo.com), Askville (askville.amazon.com), and Ask MetaFilter (ask.metafilter.com).

  • UBER Fad Or Future by Matthew Kessler
    Transportation Network Companies: What does the Future Hold? June 1, 2016 Matthew L. Kessler Graduate Research Assistant, MSES Candidate in Transportation University of South Florida Yu Zhang, Ph.D., Advising Professor, Associate Professor, Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering University of South Florida Abstract Peer-to-peer shared mobility has gained momentum as part of the latest cluster of developments in transportation. A technical marvel known as a mobile phone application or “app” arranges a ride or introduces a rider with a driver “sharing” his or her private vehicle. This is conveniently ordered by tapping your cell phone and, within minutes or seconds, not only is the chore of setting up transportation achieved, but so is compensation for the trip. This paper explores why this is so significant, using Uber as an example. Uber clutched the concept of peer-to-peer ride hailing and created a multi-billion dollar commercial enterprise. It subsequently underwent rapid growth within a very short amount of time. Since its establishment, other comparable companies have sprung from the same idea or something very close to it. At present, there are at least a dozen companies to rival Uber. However, even with all the competition, Uber is the largest in terms of the variety of services available, where it operates, and market valuation. Uber is available in 58 countries and over 400 cities, with a market valuation speculated as high as $70 billion. Uber’s story of success did not happen without controversy. Regardless, Uber is now on everyone’s radar—regulators, academia and those who need to get to their destination.

  • Corrective Or Critical? Commenting on Bad Questions in Q&A
    Corrective or Critical? Commenting on Bad Questions in Q&A Andrew W. Vargo1, Shigeo Matsubara1 1Kyoto University Abstract What kind of comments do Q&A community members prefer on bad questions? We studied this question on Stack Overflow, a large-scale community-run question-answer site with strong reputation and privilege systems and clear guidelines on commenting. Peer-production systems often employ feedback dialogue to engage with producers of low quality content. However, dialogue is only beneficial if it is constructive, as previous work has shown the adverse effects of negative feedback on quality and production. Previous studies indicate that feedback is likely critical, but the extent, orientation, and actors within this assumption are unknown. In this paper, we contribute a basic taxonomy of commenting and perform analysis on user types and community preferences. Results indicate that the most popular and frequent comments include criticism, and that different user types leave similar feedback. A better understanding of community feedback norms can inform the design of effective rules and incentives for peer-production systems.
