@rjurney - interesting points on finding great people in hard-to-find places, as well as competing based on more favorable and simpler terms. If they do want to address the market that way, I think that the message would need to come across

I was going to include Israel (I hear really awesome things about it). I hope to visit sometime soon. But I don't know anyone who could do the guest essay for Israel. I am hoping to do a follow up post sometime with guest essays includi

This is beautiful man. I was really sad when I came home after talking to you about this last weekend - I hadn't known. But reading this brought a different kind of tears to my eyes. You're an inspiration.

Right. Sorry to those who I confused with the title/poll/survey. It is just a way of showing the big idea behind the neat work Sean Ellis is doing.

Would you be disappointed if I shut down my blog?(measuringmeasures.blogspot.com)

Awesome, I was hoping to hear from some academics who know far more than I do...this an elaborate scheme to fill my wishlist pipeline...muahahahhaha

great stuff. this and other feedback is helping to shape the revision to my post only a couple hours after I made it. Second edition iterations are so much faster on the web. :-)

+1 I've been doing applied research for a decade. I think we need to double Norvig's 10 year rule for this field ... or maybe it is an infinite sequence. I took a 3 year detour through pure engineering just because that part is so importa

Norvig's essay applies even more here than it does to programming. http://norvig.com/21-days.html

Someone pointed out the 3rd ed was out in the blog comments. I hadn't noticed, so thanks. I agree that the CLR book is best learned by working through problems. For those that may not have retainend as much as they would have liked from c

Interesting criticisms of PB's approach to building gmail. Can you share a link to a product you've shipped in the past 12 months and some of your experiences about building it?

by bradfordcross 17y ago
Yes, one part is the ease of productionizing for the web. That said, I think there are always techniques for using the early, often, listen approach with private betas, multivariate testing, etc. Release doesn't necessarily mean releasing t

yea, although a couple of the tweaks have ended up tweaking me out when i can't find something. :-)

No. I get it. I just don't care.

@gvb the use of the word waste stems from the fact that many technical people (previously including myself) make the mistake of thinking that the time Hamming is talking about spending on presenting your ideas is waste. Clearly, I am arguin

You are right about the main point. When I first started looking into this topic, I thought it was that simple. "You just have to tell the world about your work," I told myself. Then my friend Ross laid the smack down on me: http://measur

That is very kind of you. It would be great if more researchers did some pieces like this from time to time. Things are going very fast right now and it is creating a large gap in general awareness as to what is happening. This is true not

This is the same point I am making. If they are still manually curating each song at 30 mins each, they could just stop, use the labels they already have, and infer the rest through semi-supervised learning, or learning the target labels b

Thanks! Likewise - the filtering problem needs to be solved. Funny that we are discussing in on HN where the paradigm is exactly the link curation approach you are talking about in your post.

Hi Max, Flightcaster may not be as useful for all travelers, but we believe it may be useful to a large enough population of travelers to be a real business. Some business travelers can rebook flights in order to significantly increase the

True dat. Spoken like a true clown zen master. It wouldn't be clowncomputing if we didn't have red rubber noses and funny rainbow hair.

FYI, the purchased books list is not very representative since I buy so many books directly without flowing them through the wish list. My book lists are better than my wish lists, not just because there is stuff in the book lists that is n

I prefer a functional to an imperative style, but IMO, let's not bash OO too badly. :-) I think the kind of message-centric OO that Alan Kay was talking about was very different from what we see in practice today. Likewise, if you read "The

The idea for Flightcaster is pain-driven. :-)

by bradfordcross 17y ago
Flightcaster doesn't intend to be a complete black box. To an extent, the more that sophisticated users know, the better - because they can help us by reporting specific details of use cases where we are not doing well so that we can find
