I read the paper when this first showed up on HN[1]. The most important thing they did was to create a training set with higher granularity in the data than much of anything previously seen. Based on their training set, their algorithm wa

Their posting frequency dropped significantly over the past year, probably as a result of never receiving any upvotes. At the time they were (presumably) hellbanned, they were posting at a rough average of one post per day, and it's m

According to the statistics site that the OP used, 54 million Americans are single. [1] Ignoring the 62 million Americans that are under fifteen, we find that only 21% of American adults are available. [2] So if your area's ratio is 9:1

This sounds eerily familiar. Around a decade ago, a data analytics company called Pharmatrak was actually found guilty of breaking federal wiretapping statutes for doing something very similar. [1] In their case, they had built a network t

They wrote in the release that they wouldn't give any more interviews until they saw "Adrian Chen get featured on the front page of Gawker, a whole day, with a huge picture of him dressing a ballet tutu and shoe on the head, no photoshop."

Google released the world's largest corpus and did us a favor by analyzing it for n-grams. For example, they found that the phrase "serve as the initial" was over a 100 times more common than the phrase "serve as the insurance". [1] For $

You should be able to use any of "Slough, UK", "Slough, United Kingdom,", or "Slough, England" and the system will identify your country as everything after the comma. It should then search for your query exactly and for what it identified
