I think it's too early to say, because the impact of work is seen over time. But candidates probably include Breiman/Cutler for Random Forests, Dean/Ghemawat for MapReduce, Peter Shor for Shor's algorithm, Daphne Koller

So this story has 210 points, 80 comments and has been up for 13 hours and yet no-one has mentioned that the data is completely wrong. There's no accounting for inflation. Comparing a nominal 1999 dollar amount with a nominal 2014 doll
