As someone who did last year's Fellowship program, I couldn't be happier. HackNY is keeping kids off the street - Wall Street.

Does HackNY take data people? I'd imagine so, since bit.ly and Foursquare are both participating.

Hell yes, we do.

Awesome! Really excited this opportunity exists for people with my interests.

absolutely, data++

in fact one of last year's fellows did multinomial mixture modeling and boosted alternating decision trees to, as he put it, improve okcupid's "love machine". video available via http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VYdYw4Mth4
