It took me two years of collecting and cleaning data before the model I have been training it with started becoming useful for my own specific needs.

The first challenge I see with data as a service is that not all features you need for your model will be made available by the vendor.

The second is their frequency of update might not be at the cadence that you need.

That is generally how disruptions happen isn't it? This is a great book that talks about the previous cycle when it occurred.

By the way, I am currently using this engine to track the progress of the US/China trade war

Its heartening to know that more and more folks are starting to share the vision of web as Tim Berners Lee by starting such projects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Global_Graph

The tag line of this project is similar in fashion to the following projects which I have came across.

https://www.import.io/

https://getdata.io/

https://data-miner.io/

https://www.apify.com/

I am definitely looking forward to seeing more projects like these which will be helpful in transitioning us from Web2.0 to Web3.0

I think the main hurdle we face in transitioning the web we know today to the vision behind all these projects is companies that have already aggregated huge volumes of data. (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, Angelist, CrunchBase, Yelp)

They are now doing their best to protect their data to secure their competitive moat. This has the effect of preventing data from being utilized in other ways than was originally intended.

I did write a post about this topic before around 3 months ago as well..

I don't see any match related data from StatsZone at the moment, but I have created an API for the world cup related news articles that are being published on the site.

https://getdata.io/data-sources/5471-fifa-world-cup-fourfour...

I will check again to see if there are any new data once the match starts and then create an API for those too.

Hey guys, I just created an API with my App for WhoScored. Its currently running very 15mins.

https://getdata.io/data-sources/5470-football-statistics-foo...

Will update again once I got another API setup for StatsZone when ready.

By the way, how often do you guys need data refresh for? Once I get some feedback I could tweak my app to increase the number of frequency.

Also please do ping me if you want to register your webhooks. My app only supports only one webhook per API at the moment. I will try to get it properly extended so that all your webhooks can get registered.

Hi Peter,

My name is Gary. I am currently working under a H1B1 visa. My sponsoring company has tried without success to apply the H1B visa for the past three years. The lawyer is advicing that I proceed to applying for the green card.

The lawyer states that at this point, even if I get awarded the h1b visa since the time under the h1b1 will be counted towards the h1b, I will not have enough time using the H1B to get thru the green card application process

Also during this green card application process, it's advised for me to remain in the US otherwise I will get in complications when entering to with a H1B1 that has a outstanding green card process

I have two questions: 1. Is what she said about the h1b1 time contribution to the h1b true?

2. Is what she said custom complication true?

Pretty cool!

Try learning and getting familiar working with and manipulating the more basic data structures like String, Array, Integers.

These data structures usually get ported across various languages.

Once you have a good grasp of that try starting work on the tutorials they have on Rails you can find online.

Its comes with caching built it to allow for fast fetching of huge amounts of data.
