We think Germany will win. But don’t take our word for it (googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com)

This is sweet as f- in terms of showing off a full platform as needed by weirdo stats people for their models plus enough data to choke on...

And the ipython + docker container to wrap it all up is just kind of showing off.. I mean really.(haha no I want it bad..or some people I know would if they could give up R fetish)


As a Ruby developer, the iPython Notebook left me with a deep seated feeling of envy. Every programmer should be so fortunate as to have something like iPython Notebook at their disposal. It's like a REPL on steroids. I have piles of Ruby source code that is intended specifically for "replaying" in an IRB console.


So they picked the favorite in the final and missed the third place game. The singularity is almost here.


A different way to put it is that they used the data to explain why Germany was the favorite. Which seems pretty cool to me!


Andrew NG predicted a way back before google predict with different data set.
