Good Local Posts

- Google researchers did a nice paper on identifying abusive business postings, which is pretty handy to know if you ever need a locksmith in NYC (Locksmiths account for >25% of abusive postings)! I also appreciate the heavy use of the word 'miscreants' in an academic paper. 
- yhat has a nice writeup on Singular Value Decomposition.
- I don't know how I missed this breakdown of the biggest real estate owners in NYC, but I'm posting it now because it's great.

Please pass this email along to any good people you know who might be interested in it. To see previous job listings (many of which are still open!) and blogs, check out the archive.
