Also, its incredibly difficult to deal with large (>100mb) datasets in XML format. Loading that thing into RAM for an XML parser is ridiculous. Tab delimited data is really the best format possible as you can easily build MapReduce scr

I do a lot of data mining using Hadoop. Hive has become one of my tools of choice for SQL-ing large datasets.

Yeah. I haven't hit that point in my life yet, so that aspect was not my first consideration. But even so, there are various levels of poverty. My assumption here is that we're not speaking about the destitute. We are simply trying to ke

Two thoughts about this: 1) It seems a little shady to be taking a scrape of another service and putting it up for sale. It may be legal--but shady no less. 2) More data is not always better. Your application has to be perfectly suited f

"Poverty is uncomfortable, but regret is excruciating". I cannot upmod you enough for writing that. It's exactly the kind of feeling I've been having for the past few years but haven't been able to put it into words. Sometimes being poor

Something like this seems like it could learn something from fast food--keep the cost of dresses low to attract a broad audience and upsell on all the accessories. I know several of my friends who pick up those supermarket magazines to get

I agree. For what's its worth, he's an ardent supporter of user rights and you need someone with a loud voice on occasion. It's also quite difficult to inflict change on an industry that seemed entrenched in its practices. Kudos to him f

"Supportive" means in the sense of "supporting" reporting any type of publication that aims to increase the awareness of women or any minority in the technology sector. Whether you think the publication has to meet certain "standards" is e

Wow. You are reading way too much into my statement. I was just trying to voice encouragement. Why don't you try to be more supportive?

I didn't call it an article. Read what I wrote again. I was making a statement to encourage the community to post most articles about women in technology. But thanks for the snarky comment.

I remember in one of my materials classes they used bras as an example where martensitic metals were used. Apparently these materials were chosen to help bras retain their shape (such alloys are also called shape-memory alloys). However,

Sorry for being a nay-sayer here, but I'm failing to see the value in this service. I've been doing machine learning for about a year and in every case my algorithms had to have been uniquely tied to my data. The performance of various al
