As someone who lives in Manhattan below 125th street, you could not be more wrong. What you have is transition from Cabs with single rider to Uber Pool, not Subway to Uber Pool. Also you are using figures of user who live "outside&quot

Rather than using misguided phrases like "Kool-aid" its important to consider several reasons why JPEG 2000 adoption has lagged or why there is interest in neural networks: 1. JPEG 2000 is Patent encumbered. 2. Neural Network meth

NO that's not how it works, in fact the street capacity of cars being fixed is the very reason why car sharing networks are awesome, otherwise you are stuck in current situation where each individual has his/her own car leading to

I assumed that he was asserting it to be true, because as my updated comments shows, the metrics do exist. But Apple neither releases them nor does it discloses the architecture/technology (if any) used.

The 1.5 TB is just for 1024 (8 bit each) dimension feature vectors for 1 frame per second on first 300 seconds of 5 Million videos. You can actually download each shard (~300 Mb) separately. They haven't yet released the PCA matrix and

Honestly this comment reads like an emotional outburst, by someone who has zero clue about the domain. Its very well known fact in AI/ML community, that Apple has almost little or no talent nor do they have any major efforts at organiz

Or maybe they do and are okay with the trade offs. Consider that Switzerland requires voting on each citizenship application. Different countries and cultures have different set of norms. E.g. I can see lots of East and South Asian countrie

You can't divide market capitalization by number of employees and compare that with "yearly" salary figure. A better comparison would be to divide revenue by number of employees.

Did you even read it? Presto reads directly from HDFS, which is as close to distributed "flat files" as you can get. As far as "SQL being less capable than UNIX commands", you have got to be kidding me. SQL allows type c

"The paper says these exact things. You have to keep reading, and it's hard I know, but for example the last paragraph of section 5 says pretty much exactly this." Thanks, that addresses my concern. I take back my comment. Bu

From my experience organizations have adopted, Hive/Presto/Spark on top of Hadoop. Which actually solves a whole bunch of problems that "script" approach would not. With several added benefits. Executing scripts (cat, gr

They are not overkill at all, rather they are tuned towards different set of performance characteristics. E.g. in the Boeing 777 example above, transatlantic journey. In the article above, the data and results stay on the local disk, howeve

You don't need to be "half the size of Twitter". What does that even mean, in headcount, in TB stored, half of the snapshot they used? The benefits of using a distributed/hadoop style approach to managing your data asset

The paper is frankly stupid and a great example of difference between practice and academia. it looks good because they are using a snapshot of Twitter network from 2010. In reality the work flow is complex, e.g. the follower graph gets upd

Having worked at a large company and extensively used their Hadoop Cluster, I could not agree more with you. The author of the blogpost/article, completely misses the point. The goal with Hadoop is not minimizing the lower bound on tim
