please, no game theory or social modeling necessary... Talking about nature, on the Serengeti you see a handful of lion and thousands of zebra. In the ocean you see a couple of whales and millions of fish. Now who doesn't want to see thousa

Who do you think should read it? I doubt this can be written in any other style other than a rant. It will have an impact on people for whom money isn't an issue and who already doubt if there is any real utility to the work they do.

It is pretty boring. Big data doesn't necessarily mean big insights. So lots of times it can end up being a wild goose chase with management not realizing they are funding science experiments. For any one thinking of it as a career, I highl

Not always true is all I'm saying. From a business perspective, it makes sense to target higher margin customers .

I think what it shows is how complex the problem is. I really don't see it as an indictment of anyone.

well...depends on how much growth your org has seen in 3 years. If your people are still using Windows XP with IE 7...sure what you say makes sense. But if your org has seen major growth, lots of new employees requiring all kinds of new pla

Look at state govt employees in the US. A major portion of this labor force is involved in managing data. Even if you take just the "knowledge workers", the number still would be in the hundreds of thousands range. Not counting outsourcing.

Here is another example from Microsoft - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KSZuHGTcC8 Logically we should be seeing higher and higher levels of abstraction or languages, but unfortunately the process to get there is extremely messy... Just

You don't need AI to see the number of programmers required on a project to exponentially shrink. Five years ago to build a simple video chat you needed a team of hardcore programmers with expertise in video, audio, networking, real time pr

Give me a break. When Rand Paul and his posse of clowns demand that Apple is owed an apology, they are the ones doing the confusing. Like I said in my previous posts, the point the committee has made is multinational companies like Apple ha

Congress cannot make any laws when people are cheering on and supporting what corporations already do. And you don't have to do anything illegal to harm your families long term future. You just have to be short sighted.

And that is wrong. Just as medical insurance companies cannot deny you insurance and lets you die just because it dents their profit. Lots of people had to stand up and say that is wrong for the law to change. Just as Switzerland has change

That is besides the point. The main point highlighted by the committee is that companies like Apple, large companies that operate across the world have a choice in how much tax they can pay. Your small start up or your uncle's deli does not

If there is nothing holding you back, consider moving to tech hubs Bay area, NY/NJ etc. Preferably where you have friends or family where you can crash and tap into their networks. If you are interested in a long term career in tech, choosi

What is being run, unintentionally by YouTube and its army of content generators, is a massively parallel search algorithm that evolves and optimizes itself to find every facet of human weakness. Networks effects on the internet allow it to
