Yes, those are production systems like I said. Ebay scores their search results. EA scores customer lifetime value, churn, marketing communications.

I once tried to make the argument that heroin addicts do not look like TV leads you to believe, on HN. It did not work out.

Not much because none of them are profitable separated from Google.

That's a major lock-in mechanism. Data stays in for the compute. Which is a major pity for Microsoft since all the marketing measurement startups got built on top of AWS while Azure has superior analytics tools.

There is package, mlrMBO, created by the great guys who created mlr (absolutely awesome for building pipelines, you will ditch caret in a second!). Not on Spark obviously, but thought some might find it useful. https://github.com

Then don't. You don't think the tradeoff is worth it, just don't go to the site.

How is this pertinent to the discussion about serving and blocking ads on facebook.com?
253.
by blahi 10y ago
I fail to see why that consideration should make a difference. Facebook provides a service, if you want to use the service, you see ads. If you don't want to see ads, don't use the service. Your livelihood is not threatened if you

Don't suck up my bandwidth on your crappy attitude. You know facebook is ad supported. If you don't want to look at ads, why do you keep going there?

Why do you feel entitled to use facebook's resources?

As far as I know, Walmart labs is active in nodejs, front end and instrumentation. That's cool and all, but Jet knows how to build a lot more difficult things than that, like personalization, promotion planning, pricing strategies, etc

This. R vs. Python is a very stupid debate. Especially for speed. For example pandas is slower than data.table. There are plenty of ways to have performant models in R. If you are worried about performance in deployment, run H2O, for exampl

You say you don't think you are superior but you show the opposite. There is no moral "flexibility". You still imply that there is a moral code set in stone and those people deviated from it. >Some people make the personal

This is not how you judge whether a company has a monopoly or not.

Morals are not set in stone. Everybody has different morals. One might argue that people who fall for this kind of crap are very, very stupid. Being weak means that the predators eat you for lunch. In this case they just mooch off you. Huma
