Well said landtco. If you are looking for data analysis tools to help you with your business in this regard my company can help to solve this problem. http://theenginuity.com/analytics
it is no different then cable TV. You pay to watch all those commercials. In Canada the largest Carriers also happen to be Cable providers.
Yep and sometime you just want the cliff notes on that trend without the spam.

This was why I put together our trending search feature @ http://theenginuity.com on the front-page.

We compile a list of social trends from our indexes of social data and make it easy to instantly figure out what's going on based on your language / region settings.

I think he is alluding to the fact that a separation or divorce is most likely what prompted all this and perhaps his wife was a driving factor in their mutual accumulation of material things back then.

Mobile Ads and Mobile Analytics for about 500 million devices world wide.
Through my research I have found you can trick someone into clicking a link but a share not so much.

I built a search engine that ranks on social shares and the social comments.

It's great for avoiding click bait in results.

This is great news to see. I have tested HHVM with our particular application load and I found it to be a bit tricky to tune just right. However PHP 5.6 has been solid in production for us handling 5 billion requests daily.
Interesting stuff, I too taught a machine to understand emotion. It is challenging work for sure and fun. It's integrated into our Search Engine Enginuity which uses this as part of its ranking algorithms. http://theenginuity.com

Remind me of the sentiment shared by Becker before his death when he wrote The Denial of Death.

Re:PostgreSQL is more popular than MySQL on Thursday October 23, 2014 @10:20AM (#8498233)
I'll stick with MySQL, the features and stability just keep getting better. Replication, Memcache Plugin (with amazing write and read performance that supports replication), InnoDB Barracuda compression, JSON datatypes (in 5.7), it has scaled amazing well for us at Enginuity Search Engine. I should do a write up on our company blog sometime about all this.

Web performance is not very good with the built in browser. I ran comparative performance tests of it with Sunspider and found it was not much better then an IPhone 3GS
Re:Lessons I learned from the failure of my first startup, Dinnr on Tuesday September 09, 2014 @12:45AM (#8288779)
Not suprising the story sounds similar to the pets.com failure.

Groceries distribution requires good experience and knowledge of logistics.

Front-end is the only thing not using Perl. If I found Perl Dancer sooner I might have used it, but all backend work is Perl. Feedback is welcomed. I really enjoy working on AI stuff with Perl.

Nice, i missed that while glancing at it on git. I've starred the repo and appreciate the contributions everyone has made to it.
Re:Open Source Email Templates on Friday August 08, 2014 @05:24PM (#8155133)
Very nice! Just a shame most of these will not work with gmail since it blocks internal style sheets.
Re:Love People, Not Pleasure on Monday July 21, 2014 @09:37AM (#8063578)
Why not both. If your in tech and enjoy it you can do it.

The Alberta oil sands are hiring. They pay upwards of $100-$200 an hour and pay for all your housing and meal expenses if your willing to live on camp for 6 months of the year. Works if your single but puts a big strain on your relationships with friends and family.

A lot can happen in a year not to just you but your family and friends that you could miss out on. Look forward to the future but don't rely on it because it might not come.

Re:The Developer's Dystopian Future on Monday July 07, 2014 @09:29AM (#7998676)
I share the same sentiment and thoughts. Have you ever read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance? If not I recommend it, been a great book to read and think about over the summer.
