I can only think of using 80legs as a crawler, since its distributed enough to make sure that you don't run into any IP address based rate limitation. But it's just a guess.

a harvard (or UIUC, stanford, cornell, MIT, UCB) CS grad can easily make 70k$ a year right out of college and much more in future. 100k$ tuition might be an issue for liberal arts and communication majors, but surely not for a CS major (ass

Interesting anyone knows which strategies they use to decide to buy/sell, once they have determined the expected price? do they use physics based techniques, like black scholes? or do they use statical learning based techniques?

err HBASE is the database and not HDFS.

I completely agree, I find it weird whenever someone mentions Hadoop as as NOSQL. Hadoop is a Distributed Computing system. While HDFS is the Database. Hadoop is more of an Distributed O.S. to run process and store data across multiple mach

On a side note, had this been a case with an MacOSX application or Windows application, would you have petitioned Apple or MSFT?

oh are i-OS API and code cross platform compatible? Do any other companies except Apple create iOS devices? in fact Apple used 3.3.1 to make sure that code was not cross platform compatible.

by akshayubhat 16y ago
no because you can run programs on Acer netbook which will also run on say HP and Dell netbook's.

no more 3.3.1 that's good. Finally sanity prevails over "interface decides programming paradigm/language argument".

I could not understand several points made in this article: 1: He mentions infochimps, but according to my knowledge its more of an ebay for datasets rather than support/provider for Big Data Stack, also is it successful? I am unsure how in

Java / Ruby is an odd choice for trading particularly HFT, everyone else I have seen seems to be using C++ / C. Though its not as odd as compared to a quant [from a large bank which held an info session at my unive] who I met last week and

Again your fanboiism at play: 1: you disregard my statement about evolution of ipod from a simple to a complex interface. Your link shows 3 different types of iPod, which shows that simplicity didn't work and design had to evolve, to incorp

Apple Mac's aren't a success considering their market share. [Personal opinions are irrelevant] Your argument is fallacious: iPod evolved to address the feature issue: so from a single Classic iPod you now have shuffle, nano and touch. even

A good way to think about it is via Occam's Razor: Which states that "Multiplicity should not be posited without necessity" Thus the pioneering products in any new segment are simple, however as time passes new "necessities" emerge, which m
