Look it, they mine big data and then draw conclusions from it. They're like a software version of human precognition, and have made intuition into an algorithm.

Look it, they mine big data and then draw conclusions from it. They're like a software version of human precognition, and have made intuition into an algorithm. Hard to say if these investments are justified when a lot of the problems posed by Big Data can be solved with things like R and filtering. I can see the need to buy more storage for such datasets, and 'elastic' storage sounds like the hard problem here - not data mining.

The US instead often as a result of bad policy destabilizes ideology and people in certain regions and then tries to use technology to make up for the lack of wisdom. Which leads to security theater and other security snake oil.
