Re:Could jgc.org be monetized? on Friday October 01, 2010 @06:45AM (#1746623)
Cool.I won't reveal implementation details here but i can tell you we will look at real-life users interests.The sub-fee will not be tied to your revs. Concisely, we chose not to use our own referral code because of the nature of the product itself, and the fact we do not think this would be transparent to Amazon. Fearing of being ceased&desisted

We are about to launch a startup that aims to bring behavioral targeting to Amazon Affiliates links. Your sales will increase drastically and you will still be paid by Amazon. We do not interfere with the process, all we do is matching your affiliates links to your visitor real-life interests. We will charge a subscription fee. If you want to stay tuned follow me on twitter http://twitter.com/albertoarmandi .

Yes i definitely agree, stay away from Acer. My Lenovo IdeaPad Y530 still works well, a solid product. Bought second hand for 400 USD.

They fixed the bug blazing fast. It must have been the referrer stuff! LOL
Re: on Sunday September 26, 2010 @03:04PM (#1729749)
Yes, you are right. Corrected that in the headline. and thanks!

Tell HN: New way to increase earnings from your Amazon links, feedbacks ?

In a few words : we add behavioral targeting to your amazon affiliates links and make them smarter. We are running the platform since months on test sites and we are seeing very good CTR increases. We will monetize the product this way : Free 30 days trial, then charge for a small monthly subscription fee. Thus the sales you make when people click your links and buy the products, will still be...

Re:Internal Strife at Wikileaks on Saturday September 25, 2010 @02:38PM (#1727508)
A move for covering his back perhaps. Assange might face serious crime convictions. Quotes like "I tried again and again to push for that, but Julian Assange reacted to any criticism with the allegation that I was disobedient to him and unloyal to the project." make me think that he is trying to refuse any responsibility for what happened.
Re:What do you think about matlab? on Saturday September 25, 2010 @03:19AM (#1726519)
And you forgot to add that Python is the "de facto" language used by google, along with C/C++ for their whole mind boggling distributed computing system. They even have hired Guido Van Rossum, the creator of Python.
ditto. If anybody is aware of any, please advise.
Re:When Facebook Goes Down on Thursday September 23, 2010 @04:27PM (#1721284)
Awesome quote.It stands true.
Please list your country as well.
Here it just says : Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to www.facebook.com
From USA as well?
what do you mean exactly ?
Wondering if this is is hitting other countries as well. Please list the country you are connecting from.

Ask HN : Is facebook down for you? Help understand which countries it is hitting

From TC :Update 2: Here’s the statement from Facebook:We’re currently experiencing some site issues causing Facebook to be slow or unavailable for some users. We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.It appears that it is down to not only "some" users.Is it down for you ?It is down for me at this very moment, connecting from China using a VPN with server located in Los...

Re:Ask HN: JavaScript machine learning library? on Saturday September 18, 2010 @03:46PM (#1704819)
I also point you out to some interesting resources about concepts that you could easily implement in your library. Like the NGD ( Normalized google distance ), just an idea, to make smarter tag clouds ? http://www.complearn.org/
Re:Ask HN: JavaScript machine learning library? on Saturday September 18, 2010 @03:44PM (#1704815)
You are right, there are many things that can be done, using machine learning, like music classification by genre,artist or predictions api ( mentioned in a general fashion on a purpose because you are limited to the datasets and problems you choose to work on ). If a Javascript library that works smoothly and makes these things work better can be given birth i think it is definitely worth it. And you are right about the node.js thing.
Re:Ask HN: JavaScript machine learning library? on Saturday September 18, 2010 @03:18PM (#1704773)
If you are planning to release this as a product, i doubt that it could gain traction, although the whole node.js thing makes me wonder whether everything is moving to the client, even heavy computational tasks as ML or AI problems. If it is a project just for the sake of it or for fun, then it would be cool to see your implementation.

Very interesting. Many photographers and famous scientists died because of this kind of experiments. At that time the effects of radiations were now well know.
