Umm... not comparing data but taking a data point and finding its nearest data points whose amounts nets to zero.
Rule engine might work on a data where the data is not complex but here there are a lot of complexities like you don't have exact matching features which gives enough surety to rule based matching engine.
I working on a personal project which tries to solve Traffic congestion problems using live feed cameras.
Feel free to connect with me on linkedIn if you are interested.

Irrespective of what nationality you belong to, the phrase "second try" means same to all. Second try is confusing and misleading, it means you failed on the first try, although the word failure is different to all. If you think a technical snag in a space program which involves a lot of complexity means a project failure then I don't blame you for liking the article but for the majority of the people who understand the level of complexity in such program are less critical on the delays and snags.
I started learning erlang and was stuck at 2nd rung, problem with erlang is(at-least for me) that there are not enough projects/use cases to learn/build for practice.
This is amazing, but as a technical guy I cannot change/plan/design city routes (I wish I could!). I forgot to add to the question description but I have added in the comment, that I cannot eradicate traffic jams as that involves government/politicians/city planner etc, while traffic aversion is more dependent on using technology, I thinks that's where I fit.
But anyways thanks for link, I got to know something that I had not known earlier.
Since I am a technologist and not a town planner or a govt. authority I want to propose a solution from technological perspective.
And also I just want to start small by say using web cams to alert/predict future traffic jams and just alert authorities via social media?
Then next step would be to feed this systems output to traffic signals and dynamically increase/decrease their timings?
I have a lot of radical ideas and if you have one I would be glad to hear it out.
Again keeping in mind that traffic jam eradication vs aversion are a different problems.
Traffic jam eradication/prevention requires a lot of experts from different domain to work in collaboration (town planner + civil engineers + road engineers + gov. authoritarians etc).
While I think(may be wrong) traffic aversion can be done using technology + some domain knowledge.
I never said I want to use machine learning (if it needs to be used I am well equipped to use it)!
As for domain knowledge I think that can be learned with time (this is a long term project), I have worked on three domains (namely, Advertising, Retail and Finance) without having any clue about it at first.
So what I want is theories/books on this problem and how other people have solved it successfully/ not successfully etc...
Ofcourse Since I am a technologist and not a town planner or a govt. authority I want to propose a solution from technological perspective.
And also I just want to start small by say using web cams to alert/predict future traffic jams and just alert authorities via social media?
I am quite frustrated and fed up of the traffic congestion problems in my city (Pune, India) and so I have decided that I will try and solve this problem.
In my opinion you should not curse as a manager in a serious meeting.
For eg:
"The quality of this code can be improved" vs
"This fucking code has to be corrected" or
very simple statements like:
"what is this"? vs "what the fuck is this"
The tone by adding one curse word changes from inquisitive to condescending and intimidating.
So never use curse words for serious things.
However, after a certain period of time when you're familiar with the environment and people you may joke and curse while having a casual chit-chat.
As for the problem now, as this is a small company have an informal meeting and sort this out and apologize if needed(use humor if you're good at it to make all this less uncomfortable)!
But India has the same tech work culture like US but startups in India are worst, I was talking about the product based startup I worked at - cool tech, cool work but horrendous vacation policy!
Don't even ask me about vacation scene @ Service based Indian companies!
> It needs a good environment but most of all an intact network of trust inside the team and the openness to speak about lack of motivation or other issues and trying to tackle it together.
Openness is the key, but still I have seen team mates judging you when you talk about being non-productive at work. Better to talk about it 1-to-1 with your manager and avoid it during meetings where everyone is present.
> the US sounds like a dystopia more and more everyday. sure, one could make the case that these work habits are a reason for your success, but who is really benefiting that success?
You misunderstood accountability with micro-managing!
If they are using social media sites its their choice, you should not call them out, because that would be micro-management.
But if the same thing is not allowing them to be productive call them out for poor performance. That's how you teach accountability.
I have had a good and bad manager!
Here are the traits of each one
Bad One: Gets pissed off easily when something doesn't work, focuses on himself, doesn't like when people go on leaves while he himself enjoys vacation twice a year, discriminates, uses trickery to get things done, uses his ego in product decision making in case of a technical debate, not at all honest
Good one: Rarely looses his cool, may not write code but brilliant with products and product architecture overall, defeats you in technical debates using intelligence rather than his command and ego, is honest & loyal with you and so are you, is a boss but works with you like a team
When I started out I remember once I was staying late to the office coz I had some pending work, my manager stayed with me because he had good understanding of the problem and he dropped me off(I used to travel using companies transport) even though he had to take detour. Best product manager ever!
