dude... 10 dollars for platnum member status to find your earlier post. I just want to say thanks everyone for all your input.

Should i just flash the investor proposals to the entire yospos world? Okay... here you go... please don't flame me too hard on this one. I am open to allowing someone edit a new version of the investor presentation if they think it needs improvements somewhere. I think statpedia is legit. It needs money, so going different avenues is definitely something worthwhile. All the current requirements of funding were listed by the team. I entered myself into the budget, and that is it. The development team decided the rest:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1lJQk9_cDo4v3IfAext3zMIqSKoMuuxyWkaph5bbEg_c/edit#slide=id.g4e9534a_0_31

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

Here is this guys answer: rrtucci

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.

oval office AND PASTE posted:

Windows Update started throwing 0x8000FFFF a day ago, and now my machine is out of compliance with NAP, so my network access is limited. Luckily, I'd just sent the FY11 reports off to Mr. Henderson, so I was off the hook for the rest of the afternoon. I picked up the phone and called down the hall.

"IT, this is Ian."

Oh no, not Ian. He wouldn't know what to do with me.

I hung up and waited five minutes, then put the call back into IT.

"IT, this is Ian."

Oh hell, why not.

"Hi Ian, this is Andrea in 219. My Windows Update is giving me errors, and now it says my connection is limited and I can't get anywhere. Can you come take a look?"

"Sure thing, I'll be there in a minute."

A few minutes later, Ian peeks his head around the corner. "Come on in, Ian".

Looks like he stopped by the Coke machine on the way in. "Hi, Andrea. So, you're having problems with your updates?"

I stand up and offer my chair to him. He places the Coke on the desk, sits down, and cracks his knuckles before popping the soda open. I watch as he minimizes my Internet Explorer window, which was open to a Google search for "tantric sex".

I walk over to shut the door, then bend over the desk, giving him a straight shot down my silky top. "How's things, Ian?"

His eyes turn and look straight down my shirt, then up to me. He gets a silly grin and stammers out, "Uh, oh, OK. Just fine". Then turns back to the computer.

Seconds pass.

"Ahh, its this dang KB928731. Microsoft Word 2007 update. This thing's been a real pain, but I should have you up in a jiff."

"Cool", I say, twirling my hair. I stand up and walk over to the window, resting my butt on the frame. Ian continues typing.

"Ian, don't you ever think about all these people in this big city? Going here and there.."

Ian's eyes stay on the screen, but his fingers are lifted, hovering over they keys, as if they are hanging breathless on my next words.

"Going to jobs they hate, returning home to families they're emotionally disconnected from."

Ian instinctively reaches in his pocket and pulls out his Bianca spray to freshen his breath.

A sinister tone takes over my voice. "Doing things they..shouldn't do?"

Silence.

"Put it in the hole, Ian."
