Out of curiosity, does anyone know how this has affected the economy and real estate market in Barcelona?

Lots of comments on here about the software, but I'm really fascinated by the hardware. Where did you get the conveyor belts and how much did they cost? For the belt that lifts item up out of the hopper, I notice there's a little

Mostly Python. Some C. Some R to play around with datasets and prototype algorithms.

The bulk of it was: News article title extraction. News article relevant thumbnail extraction. News article text body extraction. Generating publicly traded stock symbols from business news articles. Some Techmeme-style document clustering.

I studied a fair amount of NLP (a true passion of mine) at school and after I graduated I spent several months working on tech which did this (and other things). That was intended to be a startup, but sadly, at the time, my business sense s

I found this article interesting, but I think the submission title might be guilty of "gratuitous editorial spin" as outlined in http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html .

A couple of notes from a resident of Beijing: I wonder how frequently this will be updated. I notice several skyscrapers built over the past few months that aren't displayed yet (they only show the construction huts). So it's at least sever

China has a huge public sector, a ton of money, and deplorable networking infrastructure. I think it has to do with the size of the country more than anything. Russia's probably not any better than the US either.

I run a b&m store and this is common behavior. A store re-arranges an existing product so that it looks a little different, puts it up as a premium product with a very high price and for limited-time only, then offers that item, and onl

I'm struck by the enormous amount of agriculture. It's easy to forget how, not so long ago, the average human spent most of his time trying to generate food.

I'm sorry, my head is on wrong today. I totally agree with you. I meant to say, the first 2500 are the hardest by far. If you can make that much, scaling is pretty easy. s/probably going to be easier/probably going to be harder

You're asking how to build a business. Getting a product to generate 2,500 USD a month is non-trivial. In fact, going from 0 to 2,500 is probably going to be easier than going from 2,500 to 7,500 or 10,000. Start simpler. Ask yourself how t

Learning about the hukou system disturbed me at first, but the longer I live in Beijing, the more I approve of the system in some form. There are too many people here. Live with Beijing's traffic for a couple of years, or push more people t

I live in China, which I wouldn't even call totalitarian but rather authoritarian ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totalitarianism#Difference_betw... ), so I can't find much sympathy for the 'totalitarian' part. But I think a decent knowledge

I've lived in Beijing for years, and I have to say Chinese restaurant service is on the whole pretty horrible compared to restaurant service in societies with tipping.

The numerical data to which you have access is not necessarily accurate. Corruption, bribery, fabricated numerical data are par for the course here. He was talking about China as a country and as an economy. If you come and visit, it is imm

Is there much inflation in the US right now? It's really high in the mainland at the moment, particularly with relation to food. My business partner just sold an apartment in Beijing. I tried to convince her to buy up some land back in the
