Re:#kreyosfraud please help us

Hey, I wasn't aware that this was an issue. However, those comments were NOT "sockpuppet comments". All of us backers who've been ripped off have a Facebook group ( https://facebook.com/groups/469833006482519 ) and those comments were from folks on there. You guys really should not just make assumptions like this and delete comments. That isn't fair. - Jonathan

Hi, Matthijs.
As a dyslexic myself, I just wanted to point out (at least for those who don't know) that dyslexia manifests itself differently in many folks, so while this may be useful for some folks who are dyslexic, it isn't for all of us (like me, for example).

Hi, Nolan.
You're blind and a developer? As I noted in my comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8138937 ), I used to write software for awesome folks like you. I'd love to chat with you for a bit if you don't mind? What's your email?
Thanks!

As someone who used to exclusively write software for the visually impaired at Ai Squared (I wrote a huge portion of http://sitecues.com during my time there), I wanna thank Shalin for building this. There are VERY few developers (in fact, non-developers, too) out there who understand the needs of that audience. We all take that stuff for granted, but to a blind person, this type of software means so much to them. I remember going to the CSUN Conference last year and meeting a bunch of amazing folks who were blind and seeing them use our software ... I was in a happy mood for weeks after that experience. Please continue building software like this. Please. Much respect, Shalin. You're awesome, man.

At my company, we're using graph-based models for most of our NLP stuff (mainly entity extraction ATM) and our ANNs (mainly object classifiers).
