As much as anyone else. I think the point is you don't need yet another provider, since I already have a dropbox account.

It makes the steering wheel shake or shudder, in a way that (to me at least) is meant to feel like hitting rumble strips at the side of the road. I think it probably dinged as well. It also turned off the cruise control, so I started losing

I have a Mercedes Benz with adaptive cruise control, and was driving on the highway this weekend in a snowstorm. At one point, it basically gave up. It gave me an error message to the effect of "you're on your own now." It

Not only that, but you inevitably self-site your earlier work in your later work. In most cases, the most cited author in a paper is the author of the paper itself. So just look at the last page of the paper, and you can probably tell who w

Isn't tingo.com going to send you a cease and desist at some point? Seems like you need a new name.

Dow High class of '89, then majored in ChE at U of M, class of '93. Any overlap?

by cschmidt 11y ago
Just to be clear, Dow bought out the remnants of Union Carbide, after they died post-Bhophal. It didn't happen as part of Dow. Dow is extremely safety conscious, and the inexcusable things Union Carbide did would never have happened in

I suppose it depends on where you live, and what you do. I live in Boston doing software, so I can always find another job without moving. It will affect Midland more. Midland is an old company town, and there isn't a huge amount of ch

by cschmidt 11y ago
Even $100k doesn't do much for you if you live in Midland, MI and just left the only chemical company in town. You'll have to move, probably out of state, and be competing with thousands of other newly unemployed folks chasing a

Can anyone give me a pointer on what techniques the author is talking about for unsupervised learning at the end of the article?

Right, not as exciting as the way I parsed the headline.

That seems to be a very oversimple approach. Cities are the most obvious problem. You kind of want a population center to have a single congressmen representing it. Mathematically, you want districts to be fairly compact. There have a b

That's good to know. I'm more interested in topics of the new volume.

I suspect it is kind of like Knuth's TAOCP, in that it sits proudly on bookshelves more than it gets read.

As a completely trival point, one of the co-authors only has one name, Prabhat. Google, to its credit, has his work page as the first result.

I must say that RPython is not a very good name. I assumed it was a system for R and python integration. Like say the RPython package http://rpython.r-forge.r-project.org

I also think this is one of the best entry level books, and the Stanford course looks good. This is what I recommend to people. In some ways, R is a very good match for this material, and you could move to python later.
