Re:Show HN: 5400 TED talk texts open sourced on Tuesday January 30, 2018 @12:04PM (#16266892)
I have a cool way to use these transcripts. One question... I noticed the MIT Licence... but did TED authorize this? or have these just been scraped without explicit permission?

(No judgement, but wanted to know this before using the texts in a project)

Visualizations around "who is hiring". Which locales trending at various times, Remote vs On-site, number jobs posted, etc.

I've been working on a similar problem, and excited to share as well.

As a podcast junkie - I've often run into issues with searching and sharing. Linking transcript and audio is first step to solving this...
