Delete all Facebook posts for a year
// Only tested in Chrome...
// Must browse to "Your Comments" (or "Your Likes") page of activity feed, then pre-load the year you want to delete
// and as many comments as possible (scroll down, they load lazily).
//
// I ACCEPT ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DOING BAD STUFF. THE NEXT FACEBOOK DEPLOYMENT
// COULD WELL BREAK THIS, OR MAKE IT DO THINGS YOU DO NOT EXPECT. USE IT AS A STARTING POINT ONLY!
//
// It will start failing once it gets to the end, just reload the page and kick it off again.

Gradient Boosting Trees using Python
# =============
# Introduction
# =============
# I've been doing some data mining lately and specially looking into `Gradient
# Boosting Trees <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_boosting>`_ since it is
# claimed that this is one of the techniques with best performance out of the
# box. In order to have a better understanding of the technique I've reproduced
# the example of section *10.14.1 California Housing* in the book `The Elements of Statistical Learning <http://www-stat.stanford.edu/~tibs/ElemStatLearn/>`_.
# Each point of this dataset represents the house value of a property with some
# attributes of that house. You can get the data and the description of those

Open Conference Expectations

Open Conference Expectations

This document lays out some baseline expectations between conference speakers and conference presenters. The general goal is to maximize the value the conference provides to its attendees and community and to let speakers know what they might reasonably expect from a conference.

We believe that all speakers should reasonably expect these things, not just speakers who are known to draw large crowds, because no one is a rockstar but more people should have the chance to be one. We believe that conferences are better -- and, dare we say, more diverse -- when the people speaking are not just the people who can afford to get themselves there, either because their company paid or they foot the bill themselves. Basically, this isn't a rock show rider, it's some ideas that should help get the voices of lesser known folks heard.

These expectations should serve as a starting point for discussion between speaker and organizer. They are not a list of demands; they are a list of rea
