Just like “Who is hiring” thread, a “Looking for co-founder” thread every quarter or 6 months might be helpful to the community? That can help start the conversation which is the first step towards finding the right co-founder. You can also get a good idea about a person by looking at their submission/comment history on HN.
Someone posted one of these recently. I am looking for a cofounder and don’t find one but still found the thread interesting. I think it would be good for the community.
Vowpal Wabbit is also pretty easy to use and fast. I train and test on 100K text examples in under 1 minute. Works better than random forests and other things.
The choice of algorithm completely depends on the type of classification task at hand. Naive Bayes would be good for certain types of classifications problems but there could be better ones for another type of text classification problems.
naive bayes does well on small data sets, but would in general do poorly on larger text sets due to its independence assumption (which is horribly wrong in language).
Crashlytics is now bundled with Fabric suit from Twitter.
Its working well for us. I missed the custom logging feature in the Analytics, but that would evolve with time I guess.
The truth is that the good developers aren't making 100x less in most of the developed countries. Most of the good developers I know in India are earning in 25-40K range with lots of tax benefits. Expenses are less than 10K even if you live a good lifestyle.
