I'm going to fight tooth and nail when someone calls NYC unsafe, but it's going to be very difficult to argue against the store closings because of theft (as at least one factor). I've personally witnessed three blatant theft

How does this relate to Zipline and Bighead? Does it replace those projects or is it a continuation of them?

There's a ton of dunning-kruger going on, but I think as college kids riding a high of winning a contest and learning a ton, it can be excused.

Google opensourced Tensorflow because they believed it would help with the hiring process: if researchers could use the same framework to do their PhDs as Google used in their production systems, that was seen as an advantage. Maybe that&#x

You certainly can use a db for an event source. This article does a really good job of explaining how: http://www.confluent.io/blog/turning-the-database-inside-out... As mentioned in the post, we've pushed Kafka t

Nothing in this move should affect contributions of Snakebite and Luigi. If anything, it will just make them easier to use with cloud environments in addition to bare metal. With over 20K jobs/day, Hadoop will be a part of Spotify&#x27

Browsing through the code, this looks a bit rough around the edges and untested. I'd wonder how it compares to similar packages for Spark, Hadoop or Flink. Lack of numbers and users make me wonder if it's anything more than someon

MR is actually growing at Google still and heavily used by legacy systems and experienced engineers. Compared to newer frameworks like those described in the FlumeJava and MillWheel papers, MR's growth is flat. This is also happening i

What is missed in the article and many of these comments is that Hadoop isn't always going the best tool for one job. It shines in its multitenancy- when many users are running many jobs-each developed in their favorite framework or la

Then you're hardly using commodity hardware anymore. While jobs like that probably actually work on Hadoop, I'd imagine a problem like that might be better suited for specialized systems.

A possible way to look at Airbnb is that they have 200k properties and 200k contractors that get paid a percentage of the revenue they generate. They aren't in the hotel business, they're marketers and matchmakers.

Sorry, I should have clarified that comment before posting it. Many bands allow audience taping but I'm not aware of m?any that allow for commercial distribution of those recordings. If Spotify attempted to distribute those recordings

I've heard the p2p stuff is going away on the desktop app, but you could easily get around it by using the webplayer or mobile app. AFAIK, there's no way to limit the upload speed in the current desktop implementation (in the app)

We've been using it on HDP2 for about a month now. Everything works fairly well and it was super easy to setup because of YARN (and the work the Spark team put in).

They have a widget on the Nest store ( https://widgets.nest.com/en/calculator/widget ) that estimates energy savings. According to that, a $250/year savings is possible in SF with electric heating and a house o

Yann deals with Machine Learning. His specialty (simplified) was pattern recognition in images (first handwriting then objects). I'd imagine projects that group similar topics (i.e. these people are all in front of the Great Pyramids o

Apple's decision to go with an in-house map app has been a long time coming. They've been acquiring mapping companies for the last few years and have been (attempting) to build that core competency so that these kind of issues were minimal

I disagree. His post stands as a public review of his previous employer, which-- in giving him the bonus after they previously denied it-- admit that they have two very different personalities. In the public, they are good people and agree

Phish.net is also using it. I saw your name in the source and was wondering if you were affiliated with that site or this was a widespread thing. Anyway, great work.

I think it is because nobody believes it will actually force MSFT to stop shipping word. And with a market cap of 200+ billion, a payout to i4i wouldn't hurt MSFT too much.
