Oracle has IaaS and PaaS solutions now....

I think even farther back with the overthrow of the Shah in Iran it started

If only they had an OEM to do this, with a plant in Texas....

I'm in the 90th percentile in household salary in my country. I'm single so double my salary to accomodate the 2.5 people living on average, and I jump to to the 93rd percentile.

Ooyala has only 3 data scientists. All have PhDs and come from a math/statistics/com sci background. Kueski only has 1!

You need to know the background which is Statistics Discrete Math Algorithms

Most books on the subject assume you already know what linear regression is, Naive Beyes is just explained briefly theoretically and it goes right into the code in spark, R or Clojure for example. However UC Berkeley's course is very theoretical, almost no code is shown and its just MATLAB code (don't remember the name off the top of my head), their spark course though is heavy on the code with IPython activities.

Hardware releases

theres 500 stars in a radius of 50 light years. hopefully we will find plantes there, a planet 1400 ly away is cool but very distant still if we want to study it in detail

i uninstalled chrome and facebook, replaced with ff and tinfoil. much better battery life. only google apps i have is play music, google and translate (im rooted)

there's free allowances https://console.ng.bluemix.net/pricing/

Reminds me of the guy who found the starbucks gift card exploit and decided to test it live. That got him the lawsuit.

When the profit margin is a cool $250 USD and everyone else competes in low price/volume but cant even reach apple's numbers, its not surprising at all. Same is true for the Macbook, they don't ship as much as Lenovo but they do have a margin that their customers are more than willing to pay.

I'll take his salary, thank you very much!

and your last statement is untrue:

"Under the National Labor Relations Act, enacted in 1935, private-sector employees have the right to engage in "concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection."

The language is somewhat antiquated, but according to Estlund, "it means that you and your co-workers get to talk together about things that matter to you at work.""

355ml glass bottle in mex costs 6 pesos, or 0.30usd, while the plastic bottle version at half a liter goes the same price. cans can go as much as 10 pesos in vending machines. 2L plastic is around 25 pesos or $1.50USD. I don't buy soda so my numbers may be off by 10%.

I run Yosemite Zone on a Lenovo W530 just fine, 13Gb RAM Allocated to OSten. Sure it's a little slow but it's usable. Still I agree, on slower hardware it's useless. I'm buying a Macbook Air 2011 next week since I need something faster and the Lenovo is a company machine.

When everyone expects prices to fall, everyone becomes less willing to spend

I find that contradictory. If something becomes cheaper, I will be more likely to buy it. It's the entire reason to have discounts and sales.

Slippery slope fallacy?

also thank the component manufacturers for finally selling their chips super cheap!
