I joined up, but submitting seems to be invite only at the moment.

I would love that. I've been working on my startup for over two years, and my "Show HN" post last week didn't get a single upvote. I was really disappointed. I think the Show HN section would provide more visibility.

The regression models are regularized. The classification models are simple enough that they shouldn't be very overfit. All the performance results are cross validated, so there is an out of sample estimate.

No, it is completely unrelated. That is the other language called Swift.

Have you ever noticed the arrow in the FedEx logo? I'm always surprised how few people have "seen" it. Go look now: https://www.google.com/#q=fedex+logo if you don't know what I'm talking about

I think you mean KPCB, or else she still would be in financial services of a sort.

Exactly. It seems like business oriented press releases often say passwords are "encrypted" when they really mean hashed (if you're lucky). So we can't really tell from this.

Yes, if it was the custom malloc that allowed memory issues to go undetected, what else is doing that?

As I mentioned below, they are making a tablet version of Scratch aimed at 5-7 year old kids. Out this summer.... http://www.scratchjr.org/

Our daughter is Evelyn/Evie as well. She's 7, and we were ahead of the upward swing. (I was a big Social Security baby name geek). Our pediatrician said, "what an unusual name, there isn't another in our practice."

There is the http://www.naxosmusiclibrary.com , which is a streaming service with tons of classical. Currently 96,609 albums with 1,403,008 tracks, the vast majority of which is classical. They have 3620 albums of J.S. Bach music

I'm a bit of an audiophile myself, so I wouldn't listen to Beats, but I do think "bad" is a value judgement. I want a neutral reproduction of the music, and I get that with my Grado's. The Beats customer wants lot

I think it would be a lot easier to just charge them $6 once a year. Or just a one time fee, like pinboard.in does. (Currently $10.38, which is easy on credit cards.)

That's interesting. Apparently Alden only started using Horween leather in 2012 [1], so my shoes (several years old) are made from some other leather. [1] http://horween.com/?timeline-date=alden-becomes-a-customer

They are different things. I think the proper term for scrypt, bcrypt, etc. is a key derivation function. They take a password, add a salt, and produce a key that can be used for authentication. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik

That's very interesting. I'm working on a similar concept, http://www.predictobot.com . I'm about two week from launching my beta, so I'm not sure who is further along. If any datasight.io guys are on here, w

Yes, these are a generalization of "I split, you choose" to more general cases. It is a way of getting an envy-free distribution. It is often called the cake cutting problem. There are some interesting books on the topic... http

I realize that this project is about reading excel files. However, if you're creating spreadsheets from python it is worth mentioning that there are 3 different packages. In my experience: xlwt [1] < openpyxl [2] < XlsxWriter

dpreview has an interview with the Lytro CEO: http://www.dpreview.com/news/2014/04/22/q-a-with-lytro-s-ceo... It also has an article, which manages to contain the fact they have been skirting around. It

I'm sure he is serious, and I'd actually take him up on it. That's out of self interest - if people can freeload, then it means you are less likely to survive in the long run. So how about a license fee? Maybe $39-69? That&#

Your service looks quite improved since I last took a look. You even have Aperture support, which is important for me. I'll have to give it a whirl. Glad to hear you at least want to be in it for the long haul.

I've got a pretty big Aperture library, so it will take a long time to sync everything. Loom offered a Aperture import feature, so I was toying with trying them out. Now I don't know what to do.

I think the photo management space is like blog platforms. They die so rapidly, I don't want to invest the considerable time to try out a new startup. Dropbox bought out Snapjoy and now Loom. Everpix is gone. I guess Picturelife is st
