I don't understand why Facebook can't deliever targeted ads similar to how AdSense works. They already control the "comment boxes" of the web. So essentially, they know you are logged in at such and such site. Why not target the ads of the site to you? Seems like they would print money.
I strongly disagree with this view of document stores as 'easier' to work with.

For some tasks, this is undeniably true, but for most business problems I think this is just not the case. The profound irony behind this is that schema-less document stores wind-up being so much less flexible due to them being inherently very denormalized.

The good case for document stores is:

1. You have data that really is a blob independent of having relations
2. You need high-performance or map-reduce (Riak, Dynamo, etc.)

Those two use cases are really rare in the real world. For most people there's a huge amount of code that leans on RDBMS strengths such as:

1. Integrity constraints
2. Very flexible ad-hoc queries.
3. Decades worth of work on tooling to mitigate rough edges, and solve tough problems that have come up before.
Fascinating! My interest in slime now biological, no longer bound to Emacs and Minecraft!
Note that "shuffle" isn't "random". A mathematically "perfect shuffle" of a deck of cards is not random at all, but still provides a pleasing distribution.
None of these explanations are intuitive. Here is a visual explanation in two short paragraphs. Imagine a Venn diagram of two partly overlapping circles. The probability space is your sheet of paper on which the diagram is drawn. The area of the yellow circle with respect to the entire sheet is the probability of event Y. Same measure of the cyan circle is the probability of event C. The overlapping area is green (yellow and cyan pigments, when mixed, result in green), and corresponds to both events occurring.

To simplify calculations, we don't scale circle areas by the area of the entire sheet (which incidentally turns our probabilities into frequencies). This way, P(C) and P(Y) are simply areas of the corresponding circles. Now, P(Y|C) is the probability of event Y occurring, conditional on event C occurring also. This is visualized as simply as taking the green area (because both events have to happen) and dividing it by the area of the entire circle C (because we are interested in conditional probability on C); the resulting ratio is P(Y|C). Now it should be clear as sky that P(Y|C) * P(C) = green area = P(C|Y) * P(Y), which is another way to write Bayes Theorem.
I thought Facebook matched the investor expectations this quarter yet wall st. don't have confidence in them. I find this confusing.

And by the way, if you look at the stock market for tech companies for last two days. Almost all the tech giants (Google, MSFT, Apple, LinkedIn, Amazon, Yahoo etc.) were up. So I don't see if we can say it's like 2000 when stock markets crashed!
Apple, i.e. Steve Jobs, stated multiple times that they don't have to build everything themselves, that they aren't good at everything, and that strategic partnerships with outside companies is important. If my memory is correct, Jobs even said that one of his biggest mistakes in his early career was not realizing this.
Not scalable as in everyone who wants an apprenticeship or salaried job can't do it, or else it will cease to be effective. You achieved whatever you have achieved by doing more than others. If everybody else did as much as you did, what you did would have gotten you nothing.

Awesome explanation. Stats books clearly need more venn diagrams.

Ping is a flop of biblical proportions. It was almost painful to see Apple try and marry off such hideous offspring to all it's iTunes users. We all just laughed.

Now Apple wants to go exclusive with Twitter, the sexy "it" girl that everybody wants to court. It makes sense to me. It's the only thing that could possibly atone for Ping.

Facebook's users online intent is different from Google's users. People do not go to Facebook to show buying intent, they go their to pass time. On the contrary people search Google with an intention to buy hence Google can print money but Facebook cannot.
That is correct. I tried to allude to that in the end when I said how a Bayesian mysteriously gives a certain confidence to the space of models. In the case of a uniform prior I believe my example is correct.

Usually when Bayesian probability is explained, it often comes across as "duh, that's what anyone would do" except not rigorously with equations. I tried to give an example contrasting a Frequentist and Bayesian approach.
For #1, there's youtube or just sending the replay to their friends.

For #2, I really think this would be niche profitable but would require the most polish and time because pro teams would probably want to jointly visualize responses to specific timings and save their annotations as a type of historical team-lore, but it would have to be a tight and stable.

For #3, (larger?) tournaments often have 2 game casters and it would be interesting to see different observations while still listening to a unified audio stream. What annoyed me the most when watching VODs or Twitch.tv casted replays is when the casters completely miss covering a multi-prong attack even though I can see something happening in the mini-map (e.g. all-in distraction + main/expo/expo drops).

Some casters are good and rewind to look at the action from a different POV, but it's still annoying and gets in the way of a smooth casting flow.

As a tangent, I wouldn't mind (far into the future) the ability to watch a web replay synced to a (pre-recorded) caster of my choice and play with the observer controls and POV while listening. In essence, that would require re-creating the realtime replay UI which is probably not feasible (but a former SCBW addict can dream).

For #4, killer feature. Ads ads ads, or strike 'service streaming' deals with mobile carriers so people can subscribe to your streaming channel and pay $1/mo for the privilege of watching SC2 replays on their mobiles.

For #5, there's some competition here like Twitch.tv, livestreaming, YouTube or VOD players, but ultimately you're right -- if people can watch synchronized web replays from multiple POVs and mob comment it should be enough to get decent attention. None of the other options allow for web interaction -- they're all modeled on TV audiences and distribution (i.e. faceless, delayed-alternative-channel-interactions). The closest is live-streaming where you can comment in the chat room while the player is playing the game, but:
A) there's usually no record of your conversation to ROFL/analyze later;
B) as the viewer, you have little say in which replay or game you want to watch next.

Both scenarios have victims, and both are solely based on beliefs.
Maybe lots of things are true, but the evidence supports his assertion. He provided three excellent references for his position; you provide a leading question. Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence. The USA is getting steadily less free, but is still far ahead of Russia or China.
This is true; and within Apple's success. I guess I see them having an incredible ability to meld things into their own.

A strategic and public investment, like Twitter, feels unlike them. Twitter seems to be the news, not Apple.

The AuthenTec acquisition, however, feels very Apple. They have a vision, they found a partner (and for some reason, acquired them). If it weren't for the purchase, AuthenTec would still be unknown to me.

The biometric integration will be, bar none, an Apple event.
Gary Johnson and Jill Stein are both extremely serious about civil liberties. It's really unfortunate that the U.S. political system is so heavily stacked against third parties.
Like gurgeous, I also measure memory consumption almost to a fault. Even though it appear iOS loads jpgs directly into a 32bpp RGBA bitmap, you can after that trim down the size of the image resident in memory. It makes a significant difference in memory usage according to Instruments, but slows down the loading of an image from disk. Unfortunately, like noted elsewhere in this thread, it doesn't seem possible to load a jpg directly into a 16bpp in memory representation and skip the intermediate 32bpp format.
It is clear you are a troll, a tool and an apologist.
I think an indicator of the philosophical problem at gnome is that they pronounce is 'guh-nome'. They take a perfectly serviceable idea, then make it awkward so it can suit some impenetrable ideological concept.

I recently saw a lawyer for gnome speak, and even she had trouble sticking to 'guh-nome'. What hope do those outside the dev community have?

Because the idea is so novel, I must admit that the first thing I did was just click the top video because I've been conditioned by YouTube to click that inviting big red play button.

After playing with the site a while, I noticed the sidebar and it all fits now. I think the initial problem is that nobody's done multiple POVs before, so once people get the hang of it they'll want more.

+1 to the single multiplexed stream (at least to start with).

You can easily go to college without a 6-figure bill. I finished two master's degrees and paid very little. All one has to do is leave their ego at the door and not go to the best school they can get into for their credentials. I scored high on the SAT and instead of going IVY-league I went to a lesser school for free. I scored high on the GMAT. Instead of going to HBS I went to a lesser school and finished a masters in CS and an MBA for a fraction of the price.
I'm actually rather interested in what many of those fancy words mean. I'll end up searching around, but beyond that, are there any decent resources you would recommend for someone with only a basic understanding of the market?
I'm not forced to use the Facebook app on my smartphone but it sure pisses me off that I can't remove it without rooting it.
This explains the equation, but it doesn't explain the "philosophy." Being Bayesian is in direct conflict with the "scientific method." The scientific method says: make a theory, then test it against observation. To a Bayesian, first comes the observation, and they pick the theory that best explains it.

If T = theory, and O = observation

P(T|O) = P(O|T) * P(T) / P(O)

tells you: given my observation what is the probability of my theory, P(T|O). And the equation gives you how this quantity depends on how your theory predicts the observation, P(O|T).
I guess part of the problem with fake rolexes is they affect the real brand. Much of the appeal of luxury items comes from their uniqueness & rarity.

It's probably true that Facebook will never effectively monetize 1bn users (without charging for Facebook access) but I don't see what indication there is they'll get "disrupted" and lose everything.

If anything Facebook is in an even stronger position right now when you look at what has happened with google+. The largest internet brand (Google) can't even beat Facebook with a (supposedly) superior product and already huge control over the internet.

Facebook is going to be around for a long time.

Microsoft has positions in all the right places. They were in tablets, phones, and other devices early. However, the execution was poor. They did have a good shot at emerging tech markets and they still do.

Microsoft still dominates business/enterprise. Apple, the consumer end.

Microsoft is just being displaced. They have a limited time to respond before it really starts to erode their profits.
Well, the OP was about a theorem, so I explained the theorem... Bayesian theorem formalizes the process through which human intuition works and with which we pick theories. It is hugely ironic that people not familiar with the Bayesian theorem often consider it unintuitive, since the theorem itself is the basic process of human intuition formalized.

Now, the whole point of the classic scientific method, developed before the scientific mainstream even knew about Bayesian theorem, is to "fight" human intuition since it (probably rightfully so) considers human intuition as something that is only useful to make a guess, but as not really useful (and one that often gets in the way) when one needs to confirm a theory. To summarize, the scientific method was developed to "fight" Bayesianism before Bayesianism existed. Hence people writing long articles and philosophizing about what should be a trivial issue.
NBC paid $1.1 billion just for the US broadcast RIGHTS, nevermind all of the other production costs. That would be a pretty big gamble for Google to take, to assume they could generate enough revenue through online advertising to make a profit.
Not at all, even in London, businesses that are NOT official sponsors are banned from even hinting that they're related to the Olympics in any way.

There was a of this kind of stuff in the news not too long ago. The IOC is very serious about protecting it's sponsors rights... to the point where even referencing the "summer games" would get you in trouble if you weren't a sponsor. Haha.
I agree that Sal is a class act. I'm glad he's doing what he's doing. I suspect we'll see some (more) great things from Khan Academy. I can say that and still believe that it might be a good idea for him to treat these videos as version 1 and consider upgrading them to version 2. In particular, if there are resources for creating more videos, some of those resources might better be spent on upgrading the existing videos.

I've tutored math in Korea, observed the schools in Japan and Singapore, was observing math class in Shanghai most recently, and have used curricular materials from Singapore, Japan, and China to homeschool my own kids in math.

What I observe in the Asian programs I've seen that differs starkly from the vastly inferior curriculum here in my own country (US) is meticulous care put in to the development of:

1) a strategically-ordered, cohesive sequence of topics,

2) explicit list of the ideas that need to be mastered in each topic before moving on, and

3) rigorously field-tested teaching techniques, examples, assignments, and assessments for each idea.

The whole sequence is constantly being experimented with, tested, and optimized like a Japanese industrial, or Apple consumer, product.

In contrast to this meticulously crafted approach to incremental mastery, our US approach is one of each teacher throwing her own bowl of math spaghetti at kids and whatever sticks sticks. Whatever doesn't stick today, well, don't worry, we'll be doing something different tomorrow. Maybe you'll do better with that. And someone else will throw the whole bowl at you again next year, and the year after that. If you run out of years and a lot of things still haven't stuck, well, we did all we could. You're just not a "mathy type" (claim the teachers who couldn't solve a Singaporean 5th grade word problem if their lives depended on it.)

What Sal has produced in version 1 reminds me more of the American way than the Asian way, but that's no surprise. It started off as an act of personal generosity, not a NASA space project. If it stays the way it is, I'll be grateful for the moral equivalent of free pizza. I'll gladly eat some, and I won't fuss that my free pizza doesn't have my favorite toppings.

But if he's planning to go forward, I think the next step might be to back off a bit on the quantity of videos and consider upgrading some of the old ones to a more deliberately designed, cohesive video sequence.
I have to admit that my perception towards Twitter is very similar to yours. In comparison to Facebook or Google they have been very transparent about Government activities - for example by fighting government subpoenas of the Occupy protesters or by not shutting down most accounts of Anonymous. In so far it seems to me that Twitter has been one of the good guys who still care about free speech and refrain from the overanxious self-censoring so eagerly practiced by Facebook and alikes.
+1, it's all a matter of perspective.
Terrible play. The only reason prices held up is because of the illustrious stock circuit breaker precluding shorting today.

To buy the dip, put on a "covered call" position by buying the stock and serially selling weekly calls at a higher price (for example, sell the august 3 calls at 25 strike for 30 cents). Continue to sell weekly calls and collect vol until it reaches your target.

The advantage here is that most brokerage firms will let you do this type of trade without requiring extra margin abilities
Eh? Consumer behavior for the past 50+ years has been dictated by mass media, especially televison. This isn't our individual social networks; it's a larger, single dialogue we all tap into.

You are right. Take the press freedom list, where you guys are at 47, and say Holland is at position 3. 44 positions difference is less than 142 ( the difference in ranking between the US and Russis )

Except rankings do not represent range.

And you did seem to completely miss my point: you are a superpower. You have the whole word lobbying you. You have the strongest financial interests to protect, and you protect, just by the virtue of the size of your military, more free nations ( all of them higher ranked in your lists ) than the other superpowers.

My point was, that that does not come free. And to some extend liberty is the price.

I dont even think it makes sense comparing the US and its civil and political dynamics with any other nation, than the two remaining superpowers.

It was not some kind of mean rant against the states. Just that the idea of a free superpower is by definition a contradiction. That you provide freedom to many natioms, but can not to the same extend experience it yourself, because you are just too high value of a target in any dimension (poltically, financially, socially, militairily)

By the way, the US beats the Netherlands by a significant margin in the Economic Freedom Index. So while the Netherlands seems like a very nice place (which I am visiting in a few weeks) and scores very well in democracy and press freedom, it's not as free as the US by some measures. Maybe you should come here if you want to form a startup. :)

Obviously Facebook can't match the search-intent targeting of AdWords. But grandparent post mentioned AdSense - contextual ads on other sites. Facebook is amassing the data and sensors to compete there... it's just a smaller and lower-margin business than AdWords.
So the only thing that matters is how much is claimed ?

I mean, I could easily claim that my company has lost a full billion dollars because of the way you run your business.

Should that mean I should be able to get the our local cops to travel to your country, shut down your business, bring you back here to new zealand, put you in prison, and then charge you with a crime?

this thing is an absolute travesty for anyone who cares about justice, due process or the rule of law.

As far as I can see, the only thing more embarrassing than the way the USA has behaved in this case, is the way my country is doing its best to bare its buttocks to make the whole thing more comfortable.
You're overreaching. Once FB pulled the rug out from Ping -- which happened before launch -- no one really expected much of it.

Apple doesn't want exclusive with Twitter, they just signed a huge deal with FB for the same integration they've gave Twitter. Applen just wants to make sure they don't get locked out of things many of their customers see as vital.
