Yah I believe that. We don't have access to the Music Genome and we can still build a decent rec engine. When you have millions of users you can assemble pretty good features if you log the usage properly.

Yeah its not terribly accurate, but for us, more accurate than the others.

oops, wrong link. You want the Hadoop Training for Virtual Machine: http://www.cloudera.com/hadoop-training-virtual-machine It includes Hive pre-installed and Pig as well. It also has a list of tutorial exercises an sample databases for

Right. I didn't say it wasn't possible to do these with relational databases. Typically you use Hadoop for when you want to take the processing "offline", like in doing data-mining of log data. For our company, our log data is hundreds o

Hadoop is amazing for when you need to run huge batch-processing jobs that would otherwise be too taxing to use on a relational database. I've been working a lot with Hive lately--Facebook's creation that lets you basically type SQL and the

Well duh. Urgent not in the sense of subsistence but definitely in the sense of timing. When that kind of thing happens you are usually in a bar, at a party, in the car whatever, and you've got to find a way to somehow write the song down o

I guess everyone has different definitions. 50 million users is a pretty tough benchmark to get to, especially in a little over a year. Hell, I'd be happy if there were 1000 happy customers for my apps. But damn if your bar is set on IPO, m

Sorry you couldn't get it to work. I for one am a very happy lookie-loo. I remember a couple weeks back I was at a nightclub and thought "damn I really want to know this song" but I didn't want people to see me Shazaming. So I took out my

I think if you build a product that 50 million people love, or that 10 million people have downloaded, that would be considered to be a home run. If that isn't, what is?

by physcab 17y ago
Goes to show that: urgent need + simple solution = home run.

While I can't talk specifically about the deal terms, I can say that we are very pleased with the agreement and think it represents forward progress for the industry. If any of you guys have further questions, I would encourage you to conta

"If you can't figure out how to organize your material, try this: Write down ideas in random order, then sort them". I wish they taught me to do this before the 5-paragraph essay format. The latter of which is a useless exercise that has a

I couldn't agree more. As a programmer, Labview is very frustrating. What takes me an hour to "setup" I could probably code in less than 15 minutes. And its damn slow. And its errors are impossible to troubleshoot. The only reason why I

I currently live in Gainesville, Florida. When I first arrived, I hated it. I thought, "nothing to do, nothing good to eat, no interesting people, weather sucks...". Most of my friends felt the same way. But somewhere around a year or s

Are you kidding? You have definitely missed out if you haven't found some good food! Start off at the CalTrain station near SCU. Drive down El Camino. In one direction (North?) you'll pass by some amazing Indian, Thai, and Vietnamese res

I'm really surprised that you said you were "unlucky" to live in Santa Clara. I went to undergrad at Santa Clara University and it was perfect. Gorgeous weather year round (warmer and less windy than SF), slightly more reasonable rent, in

Maybe its just me, but there seems to be a stigma regarding the act of seeking counseling. However, people should seek counseling just as often as they would a general practitioner as the mind needs just as much care to stay healthy as doe
