Hahaha. That is surprising! Thanks for the helpful advice.
The Rethink docs truly are incredible.
Do you have any guides or books you recommend for writing good documentation? What software did you use to produce Rethink?
Sorry to see Rethink go.
I know several engineers on my team would love that.
Love the design overall. You might consider adding some more market-position content. E.g. How do you see Hublo as different than, say, Adroll?
Agreed. Maybe something like "Ridiculously fast local faceted search" would be more appropriate?
Thanks! Hadn't seen these before.
Has anyone comparison tested Impala + EMR and Redshift?
Here's to hoping this goes through and that google can turn iProvo around!

I'm working on a cloud-based healthcare analytics startup, but that involves dotting a lot of legal i's and crossing a lot of legal t's.Anyone know of any quality attorney's who can help out with that process?

I've seen a lot of YCombinator retrospectives, but with the RockHealth deadline looming, I'd love to hear about any Alum's experiences and/or pro tips.
You might add a little more definition around movie title / poster / button combinations. Once you scroll away from the top or the bottom it's not immediately apparent which belong to which unless you really look at the poster.
Way to go! Web OS always had such promise -- I hope that it can make a bigger impact now that it's been freed from the shackles of the dying Palm.
Thanks, I'll check it out!
Ditto. Although if I could pipe my goodreads collection into this I probably would. Why not?

I've used delicious to store my bookmarks for a long time simply because it has great tag suggestion. They seem to be crowdsourcing the suggestions.Since the redesign they've gotten less and less stable, and I'm just about fed up. Anyone know of any really good alternatives? I really want kippt to work, but the lists functionality isn't flexible enough.
Very nice. Who's the target audience for this? Students? Curious enthusiasts? Analysts within companies?

I wasn't able to participate in the Stanford Machine Learning experimental class last fall because of time constraints, but I'm fascinated by ML and would like to experiment with it.What are the ebooks, blogs, user groups, getting started articles, etc. out there that you like most?
Mind sharing how long you've been using it and how it compares to hadoop in your opinion? I'm very interesting in hearing your experience.
Thanks for your insightful comments! I appreciate that you took the time to back up your opinion by distilling your thoughts into something quickly digestible.
Have you heard of any other projects outside of disco that are more performant than hadoop when used for similar applications?
Anyone have some insight into situations where running map reduce on redis makes more sense than other software like the traditional hadoop?
This works remarkably well. I'm shocked.
Thank you, sir! These help a lot!
Tufte is fantastic. I've read a few of his books, and I completely agree. Thanks for the help! :)
