NASA didn’t catch an error in the ISS data until a kid pointed it out
- K0SM0S 10y agoWhile the error is fairly mundane to spot (still good on that kid for even looking at the data!), this story is a perfect example of the power of crowd-sourcing big data analysis. Imagine for instance if all states/govs published most public data and people could just spot and report errors... Or if most companies let non-sensitive data be read by most employees. Free cognitive debugging, is what it is. This should be automated eventually but access to the data is critical.
