Indeed. We've experienced the same. Cuz, you don't need emails to stay valid right?

Stupid Mandrill. I would advise anyone never to do any business with Mailchimp or Mandrill anymore.

Re:Ask HN: Should I get a mechanical keyboard? on Friday February 13, 2015 @08:29AM (#9044165)
I use a mechanical keyboard. And I have used it for a couple of years.

With rubberdome or ergonomic keyboards I always had problems with finger strain. The tactile feel of the keyboard allows you to use both short and long actions on the keys so that you don't get that strain.

However, they make a lot of noise and now I can't use it at work. ;(

It's a good book and the entry-level is not that high. However, you probably want to have some kind of basis in maths(algebra and stuff). Also you want to know some of the datamining terminology. But, it's free and open, so check it out. Also; the slides are very helpful.

We are currently using this book for a course at the Leiden institute for advanced computer science. It's pretty up to date.

It covers LSH, cosine similarity, Jaccard similarity as well as recommender systems applicable to the Netflix challenge and so forth.
