Reply to: No breaking SKA news just yet

you missed a trick, you should have sold it to the NSA a few years ago.

Up & at em AtW!!!

I think Majestic shows that the brute force hoover of data serves a purpose.

Yes but it's on the lower side for added value. Adding some intelligence to it would have made it more saleable as a product.

[eek]

SKA has always been a dud.
If AtW had put in some clever probabilistic/statistical/AI functionality into his product it would have worked, but it's just a not very clever brute force hoover of data.

In thier heart of hearts everyone is happy for you and wishes you all the best.

When you are ready to have the last laugh please come back and tell us.

He who laughs last, doesn't get the joke.

SKA must have trillions of email addresses.

No it doesn't: any links with mailto: protocol are specifically ignored and while data parsing will pick up domain name references, it will ignore email addresses - all this because I don't want to have anything to do with emails.

SKA is an asset because it allowed to build the biggest web graph outside of Google - this is the key to relevancy, something that we sadly lacked big time. I know perfectly well our full text search isn't great at all - in order to change that we need:

a) very good understanding of web graph to index and rank better
b) revenues to hire people and buy more servers

SKA is now succeeding in those pre-conditions necessary - I am actually now budgeting for hiring an excellent programmer to speed up R&D (I talk less on here too for that reason): how many of your own businesses hired anyone apart from your wife to minimise tax paid?

The best part is that I know for fact I am going to have the last laugh at you chaps

The only SKA that I am aware of is this one - http://www.skatelescope.org/

Its an advanced Radio-Astronomy telescope - it his what all the fuss is about ?

SKA must have trillions of email addresses. It would be stupid not to go through the web and not pick up addresses.

SKA would be an asset for that alone.
