Sure, maybe I'm over generalizing. However, I keep reading stories about how it is hard to make money in Android, like this one.... Doom Creator Says Android Not Profitable http://www.mobiledia.com/news/87020.html

I think your comment highlights a difference between the Android and iOS communities. Android users just want free software, while iOS users don't mind paying for quality. Guess which platform ends up with the slickest software, with the

Wow, I just looked at the company profile. That's some list of advisors. They must have more money than they know what to do with, and sit on very nice chairs.

You can use a service like www.spyfu.com to get keyword lists for competing websites. Also, be sure to install the Adwords editor. It will make your life much easier.

The Economist had an interesting story on GPS jammers. Apparently truck drivers use them so their employers can't track their movements, but they mess up anything nearby. http://www.economist.com/node/18304246

As someone who builds machine learning models, I have to agree. Cleaning up the data takes 90% of the time, and the fun of building models is all too quick. Also, I think the post should just call it R, not GNU R. It is GPL, but not a GNU

You can get free digital access if you have any form of home delivery. I can get weekday delivery for $14.80 for 4 weeks, or Sunday delivery for $15 for 4 weeks. That gets you the full $35 digital product. I'll probably get the Sunday

If you have any home delivery, then you get all the digital stuff for free. Here's how the prices compare for delivery in my zipcode (Boston): Daily Delivery (7 Days), $29.60 per four weeks The Weekender (Friday–Sunday), $20.80 per

How many investors only invest in stocks? I personally have more in ETF's and mutual funds than single stocks. How about the bond portion? It seems weird to apply tons of analysis to only a portion of someone's investments. Also, since it

Pinboard has a slowly increasing price as more users join. It was only $4.21 the day I signed up, and is now up to $9.25. I'm really glad I joined before the onslaught. :-)

I suppose a lot of people really want there to be a good "Heroku for Django". I follow the companies in this space with interest, and jumped on the link. Especially with Djangy giving up last week, it is good to see some forward progress.

I don't imagine he'll mind getting $250 less. I'm sure the recognition is what counts - in the same way no one cashes Knuth's $2.56 checks for bugs in TAOCP, they frame them.

Looking at the photo, there isn't any visible sign that there are tags. I waved my mouse around to find them, but I imagine most people will miss them. Maybe you could have the rectangles initially show, and then fade. I think you need so

I would cover some fairly basic topics: 1. Naive Bayes (with review of probability needed to understand) 2. Linear Regression 3. Decision Trees (for a nonlinear model) 4. Boosting (and why it doesn't overfit much) 5. k-means (and other clus

The user's algorithms are going to have try to control for overfitting on their own. Try to make it hard for the users to evaluate the model on the same data they trained it on. Also educate them that in-sample results are meaningless. I g

If you want a MVP, then daily US equity is probably the place to start. I'd also wonder if your service could run tick strategies in practice. I've never done it, but it seems like tick strategies are all about having expensive co-located s

You do need to define things a bit more. Daily data or tick? Stock, futures, etc. Just US data or more. How are you going to allow any languages to run on your server? That seems pretty dangerous.
