Pray tell, how might they do this when you know the method and they do not? Unless you developed the method, then went around telling random people before going about implementing it.
In those cases, users purely receive recommendations for media/products. In this case, users receive recommendations for other users to follow as well.
So, a classical theoretical model tailored to exactly match known results is validated. And a brand-spankin-new theoretical model based on a different approach is invalidated.
This means all assumptions of the classical model are correct and all those of the new model are incorrect? Doesn't sound right to me.
These tests are validating / invalidating the predictive power of specific models, not testing their underlying assumptions. Issues of supervenience will not be worked out for certain until we have models of which we are more confident.
Fancy cryptography, p2p networking, with web-based command and control: indestructible 'new' type of botnet, or practically identical to Zues? You decide!
Hooray for marginalization! Who wants to help me found refuge.es for people who need a home on the internet when theirs is shut down or flooded with crap.
Could use some user interaction on-site for discussing node; this would be a good place to showcase node based chat / social apps by integrating them into nodecloud.org
I still don't follow. Digit value rather than ASCII code... you mean Base64 digit value? If so, do you just ignore the pad char? (I mean... by "non-digit leaves" you are referring to the leaves represented by '=' and only those?)
EDIT: I understand now... jeez that was a run-around! Ascii encoded decimal! Thanks for the clarifying replies all over.
Any comment in regard to my question above? At present, question 2 has serious ambiguity as to how one should interpret the data. Clearly each character represents one node, but again, there is no clear procedure for converting values. Padding makes no sense in this context.
> binary tree is balanced and that each node is one character
I found that pretty intuitive given they tell us it is a tree with 2^n-1 nodes, and that this is then umber of characters in the text file.
What I'm wondering about is what the '=' pad character means in the context of non-valid base64 (i.e. isn't it the same as the 'A' character - a null?)
1) Arrow
2) Arboles
3) Area
And then type another 'r' before you realize your result is there ("Arr") and as you go to select "Arrow" the auto-suggest results turn into
1) Array
2) Arrogant
3) Arrow
Like, how does adding the second 'r' make "Array" higher probability than "Arrow"?!
