why are you ian so set on doing this, how is statistics the next big thing? will high-schoolers all over the world post their favorite statistics such as how much does math suck?

machine learning is great because you can predict everything without understanding anything

i meant without understanding anything about the phenomenon you're modeling. most of the high end methods in my field are machine learning and they do a great job of predicting patterns and a poo poo job of inferring the underlying biology

^law of large numbers isn't limited to data mining + there are repositories if you want to learn or you could just be a sperg about it

well yeah, correlation isn't causation - machine learning is great for finding correlations but it isn't going to tell you exactly why a thing happens. you're still going to need domain knowledge

nobody got the PAC joke...

at my last job the boss got machine learning mixed up with distance learning and kept trying to get me to do one of those stanford online courses about machine learning

i went to college with someone who had to give a 20 minute presentation about security in online banking. he got confused over what a "firewall" was, and so spent 15 minutes talking about sprinkler systems and fire-proof building techniques

p languages are alright i guess if you just want something quick and dirty but nothing will ever match the warmth of a good java applet, or the raw fidelity and crisp undertones of a c++ executable

You may not know him by name, but Eric Leebow is the man we can all thank for inventing social networking. At least, that's what he thinks.

Leebow is the man behind FreezeCrowd, a new website that's described as an interactive "college yearbook" with photo tagging and friends lists. Sound familiar? Facebook? Well, the only difference is that Leebow came up with the idea first. So he says. Could he be in Mark Zuckerberg's shoes right now? It's doubtful, especially with a video like this...

For over 11 years, Leebow has been trying to realize FreezeCrowd, pitching the idea to venture capitalists, schools and college students, and trying to find developers who would work for free. He's a self-proclaimed "visionary" hellbent on chiseling out a home in what he believes is rightfully his—the social networking webscape. Finally... his dream has come true.
