carlosaguayo··on Million Song Dataset
That's cool, perhaps also link it from a centralized location like Kaggle? https://www.kaggle.com/datasets When I look for datasets, I first go to a place like that.
carlosaguayo··on PagerDuty S-1
There are many fields that can be left blank when filing an S1. They get filled in as time moves on, but need to be complete before the IPO takes place.

carlosaguayo··on How Radians Work in 30 Seconds
And I believe it's a problem of the education system. Back in high school they had me solve dozens, if not hundreds, of derivates and integrals, it was not until college that a fantasic teacher had the guts to come up with his own syllabus, threw away all the "traditional" calculus and taught us what was a diffeeential, what were we doing when getting a derivative and an integral, completely changed my mind.

carlosaguayo··on HN is 6 today. Here's traffic since the beginning

carlosaguayo··on Life ToDo
I used to have something similar but then my document became hard to maintain and to keep it focused (short term goals vs long term goals). I switched to a slightly different approach, I use Evernote and I have 3 tags for notes, a "daily", "month" and "year". Which should be obvious, in "daily" I write down the things that I know I want to get done that day. In month I have higher level goals for that month, same with year. Helps a lot keep tracks in perspective and organize the "day to day" stuff along with the higher picture and longer term perspective.

carlosaguayo··on Mathematics at Google
No, but you would expect some kind of seriousness... Universities don't need to run image-similarity through papers published by their students right? Plagiarism is a big thing.
carlosaguayo··on Why I wear the same shirt every day
Without any offense, how/why can a post like this make it to the #2 spot in hacker news? I'd like the top #5 or top #3 entries in hacker news be for truly relevant, worth either reading and studying news or entries no?
carlosaguayo··on How the Norwegians Reacted to Terrorism
I still wonder why while there's technology so advanced that can see under your clothes, there isn't technology or common sense to figure out that a bottle of water is completely safe ...

If you search for "google" and remove the top million results, you still get google main page (in this case, the one for australia and india...)
