Too few sampled comments (4) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Commenters link it as a list of open dataset directories and as a post on machine learning without a Coursera course. The comments cite it as a resource rather than judging the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
A very powerful command line tool for Machine Learning: http://bigmler.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ Create a predictive model is as simple as: bigmler --train < data.csv or create a predictive model for Bitcoin volume taking online data from Quandl and parsing it with jq in just one line. curl --silent " http://www.quandl.com/api/v1/datasets/BITCOIN/BTCDEEUR.json" | jq -c ".data" | bigmler --train --field-attributes <…
