Some popular blogs and news sites use facebook as a commenting system. I think it's worse that I can figure out exactly how a real life person feels. Giving someone anonymity makes them feel less significant in my perception of their

The non-energy activity sector of the economy has been growing at a rate much faster than the physical, energy-related activity sector of the economy. This type of decoupling is terrible and can only last for so long. I would suggest chec

There was an article on HN recently about how the STEM job-gap is a myth. In the article the author discusses how if there were in fact a job shortage in STEM careers, STEM wages would be driven up. Chand Johnson's article seems to g

This is absolutely true, however there are alternatives to companies that track you. Go to JCPenny and they don't force you to use a credit card to purchase some shoes. If you use cash, as opposed to a credit card, you won't be

Yeah well retail companies won't just throw you in jail if you disagree with their new "marketing" campaign. There's quite a difference between a company you willingly give information to and a government trying to find

Honestly thank you for posting that site. I posted a Show HN yesterday. Went to showinghn.com and didn't see my show hn on the site. Turns out I've been banned from submitting links for the past 733 days so their scraper never

This is a good breakdown. I was hoping there would be a difference between the two other than just a reason to make a program for a buzz word. Thanks for this.

So what would be the difference between a masters in "Big Data" versus a masters in computational science?

Do you mean Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy? I just read about this in Chaos Theory Tamed by Garnett P. Williams. Really interesting stuff with respect to information theory in dynamical systems.

The difference here is that an all-nighter Thursday and then hackathon Friday will not be happening every week, or result in a 100 hour work week. These kids are literally doing 90+ hours every week for three months. A hackathon once in a

facebook is literally an infinite well of data. I don't see how we could eradicate it without a truly terrible abuse of power coming to light from within the company.

I think it was April when someone hacked the Associated Press account, tweeted that the White House just exploded and the Dow dropped a ton in a short amount of time. That's pretty scary. source: http://www.nbcnews.com&#x2F

If you are in the red, with zero money coming in, isn't anything better than nothing, at least as a gap till you find something better? I'm not sure I would call it pride. Some won't apply to jobs if they feel it is below

The author is suggesting that people will eventually get sick of the news provided by social media and begin to crave serious, slow journalism again. I don't think this is an issue where "Problem --> solution" relations

I believe Zeppelin's have gone the way of the steam engine for the same reason. It's simply an unstable platform of transportation. Steam engines used to blow up all the time and Helium is extremely flammable.

By facilitate the learning process are you referring to the programming aspect or the math aspect of data science?

logarithmic growth (I think). Interesting to see. I wonder if this signals that society (with respect to self-organization) is growing more intricate and complicated, thus prompting more conversation in the government and official memos t

It could definitely be sampling bias, but with that I'm not sure where any anti-manning articles would be posted in the first place. I thoroughly agree that mainstream media hasn't covered this case as much as it should have been.

Thank you. I don't quite know how to word this without sounding terrible but here goes. I find it weird that so many articles have been written by very passionate people about how this case has so many holes in it. What is odd is th

I mean, developing a new algorithm for data analysis could be just as important to the OP as analyzing bio data to forecast some sort of disease is to someone else.

That makes sense though. One would definitely want someone in a leadership position with a lot of experience and knowledge, especially at a biotech firm.

Cool. Thanks for the advice. My game plan was pretty much just that. Get a solid programming job doing (preferably) some stats work after graduation (maybe the company will pay for grad school?) and then move on from there. I just wante
