Since I haven't the slightest inkling what the numbers mean...to what does it refer? I'm guessing I wouldn't get hired... ;)

I would say that Google is trying to ensure the deal happens. Microsoft + Yahoo = slow frankenstein of a monster Google will be more nimble against such a threat. It's already nimble against Microsoft and Yahoo as separate entities.

Thanks for the affirmation! It helps when jumping into territory with which I have no previous experience.

pg has spoken, and it is good... Seriously though this is exactly what I need to accomplish my tasks (which is not SPAM filtering). I briefly looked at all of the other alternatives before diving deeper into the "CRM114 Revealed" book. I

How does Weka differ from CRM114?

I am NOT doing ham/spam type classification. I need to define some classifications for specific types of content.

Is there any documentation that stands out for learning the alien language? No doubt, I'll be combing through all of the CRM114 information on the website. Is there anything that is not referenced there that will be of use?

I'm looking for something that is open source that I can start using right away with minimal configuration... I'm not smart enough to create my own, but clever enough to take somebody else's work and cater it to what I'm trying to do. It's

I've recently switched from SVN to git. The posting mentioned Mercurial, and I've heard Linus mention Mercurial in his talk at Google. What is the difference between hg and git?

FriendFeed looks like a potentially distributed version of Facebook, if used properly at an individual/friend/local level and evangelized properly as a company. I really like the relatively loose association between friends and services. Ri

Oh, one more thing... I would like to add that the first example of telling the circuitry "go" and "stop" implies some processing on behalf of the circuitry such that it has an understanding of the meanings behind these symbols. This conve

Definitely a cool thing. I wish I didn't stop with my Scheme programming 3 years after my SICP class! It would have helped dive into all this LISP code... ...now if only PG would share with us how to grow an online community of thinkers..

I think there is an improper use of the term "disruptive" in this article. Case in point: THE DISRUPTOR: Zink THE DISRUPTION: Inkless printing THE DISRUPTED: Desktop printers, ink cartridge resellers, and photo services The reason why this

Perhaps you're right about my misinterpretation... the overall implication I took from it was that a genetic algorithm was applied to a circuit that could be rewired itself; this increased the level of complexity possible and from this (and

I would like to know if words sufficiently similar sounding to "GO" and "STOP" evoke the same impulse in the circuitry to accordingly output the voltage. I'm guessing that they will if the signals are sufficiently similar. There is a diffe

The shortness of your answer is making my head spin...I think perhaps my second question is rather poorly stated... I agree that we necessarily must be thinking in one of many paradigms, but there is a tendency to default to the larger over

I would be hard pressed to be convinced that going 100% web-based is 100% a good thing. I think that's simply overestimating the value of web-based technology over the human desire for having different modalities of doing things. While di

better technology != community killer They could add all the bells and whistles they want, but coining something as a "community killer" (or "Digg killer" in this case) is laughable at best. The only way Digg can be killed is if a community

"I think the hardest part of breaking out of a paradigm is to realize that you're in one." Perhaps the single most useful insight I've heard thus far. The best part of this observation is that we have many examples that are readily availab

I think there are similarities between Facebook and Twitter in that the networks that form are localized within groups of individuals that are familiar with each other. Facebook originally did not have a spam problem up until they themselv

I don't feel the need to convince anybody of that which they do not know. Also, I don't feel that having data of users is more advantageous than proving my point; there are also other pieces of info I can dig up (if you're interested) that

If only "futurists" had this type of honesty about their own visions of the future then perhaps we wouldn't have so many "visions" that are obscured by more of the same.

"In general, the only way to break a paradigm is to throw it very hard against the wall of reality." That's a great quote! I'm curious to know how your photo-sharing site is exemplary of this statement. I'm not trying to be a jerk here (I

You raise an interesting point. When I saw this in Motor Trend, I was bothered with how far off the designers of the car were...Of course, nobody can predict the future accurately and it's best to be "safe" in order avoid the criticism of
