good job taking a respectable photo for your profile

you need sound in the video and you still don't explain what your site will actually do or why anyone should care

statpedia's animated favicon is distracting and looks too much like the webpage loading animation so out of the corner of my eye i always think statpedia hasn't finished loading. this might be a good thing tho, since it makes me stay longer thinking maybe something useful or interesting is eventually going to load

btw your site is really broken and I spent way too long on that than I should have but that's probably why you need more money I guess? also I had to fudge the numbers and make the first one $1 instead of $0 because otherwise it wouldn't graph properly so excuse the slight lapse in realism

Ian, thanks for ignoring my earlier post. it was srs and I put a good 10 minutes into it.

You are clearly currently putting a ton of time and effort into this. What are you going to do with kickstarter funding that you aren't doing now?

Traditionally with startups you work and hope it pays out, but you are approaching this in the opposite way. Get a payout, then hope it works.

With something like the elevation dock, they needed funding to begin production. What are you going to do with this funding that you can't do now?


edit: also join a Toastmasters in your area. You need to remove things like verbal pauses (um, uh) if you want to actually sell this.

As far as paid subscription goes, no way jose. This data is never going to get used if people have to pay to see it.

Universities do have various systems of uploading data into things. I remember hearing some sociology students speaking about a particular system they use. Data for particle accelerators is coming in all the time. I don't need to reinvent how all these systems currently being used gather the data. I just need to get the data if there is some way it can contribute to statpedia, or pull websites display mechanisms of the data for search so their beautiful stuff can be found.

There are standard database formats that most data is stored. The tricky part is interpreting it in ways that people can understand. This is where chart labs so wonderfully comes into play. Presenting the data in some useful mechanism is super important, but also being able to search for the data and see the actual numbers is nice. Take this for example: http://mcmstv.web.cern.ch/mcmstv/#evd If this data was in statpedia, one could maybe use that data to show a graph of how often different types of particles are created.

What if I am a humanoid robot, and I want all these stats to make decisions. Maybe statpedia can help these robots. All the publicly posted data on statpedia should transfer into some standard format that any standard system out there can read. Need like the ultimate sql repository. There are so many varying database structures. An sql command prompt can be initially used to establish connections to varying databases. From here, tables can be called, and individuals and organizations can opt to host their database on statpedia allowing access to varying data for the search.

Some people may just want to render results from the the search. Some may prefer to use SQL to generate the tables for statpedia chart labs.

People want to be able to pull data, and turn it into meaningful stuff. I need one of those little import/export .sql buttons. Then, make a little window for someone to access to type in sql commands, then convert that stuff over into a matlab, octave, R type thing, go to the statistical design factory, then out it pops into search display.

I am trying to get this team spirit of fusion going for all these statistics. This is synergy stuff. Like serious synergy.

Free sql repository uploading place on statpedia. As long as everyone's total sql files are stored to its own unique id everything should be chill. Obviously we are going to know when people's and organizations sql files are being used within statpedia, and so we can create a YouTube type profit sharing system for all those stats.

With the sql connection thing, perhaps the users could fast forward and rewind this: http://mcmstv.web.cern.ch/mcmstv/#evd

maybe change the angle around. if the entire sql database is right there within it i can do a search within statpedia for particle accelerator data, and pop, its in search. Maybe one could host it on their own website, and plug in the final result of something amazing, then link it to statpeida.

There are endless possibilities with statistics. Infinity does still exist I believe.


and then we optimize this thing: http://code.google.com/edu/parallel/mapreduce-tutorial.html eventually optimized it into this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover's_algorithm for most optimal database and search performance. Thinking in terms of endless possibilities, I suppose even that last search algorithm can be improved. That is if we can answer this question... http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=296126

I'll give you an analogy that might help you. Suppose you know a series that converges to a constant pi whose value you don't know a priori. Think of the Grover oracle as a subroutine that gives you only partial information about the series each time you call the subroutine. Your goal is to find the limit of the series. Grover's algorithm helps you to calculate that limit by calling the oracle fewer times than you would have to, classically.

By the way, here is a Matlab program ( http://qbnets.wordpress.com/2010/01/28/my-secret-life-as-a-captain-of-the-grovers-algorithm/ ) that I wrote of a more general version of Grover's algorithm(GA). This new version is more general in two important ways:

(1)It does not require that <s|t> be of small, where |s> is the starting state and |t> is the target state. (The original GA only works if <s|t> ~1/sqrt(N) )
(2)It converges with absolute certainty to the target state (The original GA converges only with a finite probability.)


Back to the data being imported into statpedia... if there was a way to use other already established systems that connect to a public sql window, that would work. Maybe statpedia could be allowed to crawl the database of entire systems collecting all the data for system input and format restructuring.

Otherwise, I could see there having to be all these custom database platforms linking externally into statpedia.

Good Stuff. Thanks again guys for all your input. It really means a lot.

Also, I am open to help with the video as mentioned in the previous comment. I would love to make a nice video.
