the first successful anglosphere BigData project was william the conqueror and his domesday book - its been incremental improvements ever since then and the latest round that also includes all our conversations and movements is going to be very interesting. talking around subjects and having privat...

Think of it this way. If Iron Dome had not worked Israel would now be occupying Gaza. :roll: Indeed, it is very disappointing for Hamas, as an Israeli occupation of Gaza would have served their interests better. Probably. As it is the Israelis seem to have won over quite a few outside of the Arab w...

Case in point. The one member of the attacking terrorists that was caught in Turkey Then sent to Tunisia was not interviewed by anyone from the US for 3 weeks because the Tunisian government refused to make him available. Then Sen Graeme called the Tunisians as and the perp was made available the n...

Occupy has been organizing a student loan debt strike. If they can get 1,000,000 it initiates and all of those people stop paying their student loan debt. Why not just go back to the schools they took out the loans to pay for and demand their money bacK? A number of law school graduates in the US a...

And how does the administration benefit from this elaborately covered-up deception? Because they didn't have to look like the Carter Admin did before the 1980 election. I guess you could make this comparison if Carter had deposed Gaddafi and shot Khomeini in the face. Didn't have to answer about de...

Sure but bigdata costs BigBucks. DO you know how much the database for the sales tax rates in all tax localities in the US costs? Last time I checked it was a $65,000 annual subscription. And Imagine that is publicly available data. [/quotes] Sounds like a good thing to aggregate. Very crowd-source...

Hard to tell until the lights come on.

If it wasn't for the financial crisis and Obama Support for TARP I would have voted for him. I am happy that he got elected because black kids can now believe they can grow up and be president. I am unhappy that he is such a dud on economic issues.

It will still be a sham Tinker. BigData costs big money. Even with big money you have to get the cooperation of the Bigdata Billionaires to make it work. It is not just an app. IE No BigData, no BigData results. But I promise you this with BigData it may be the Republicans It may be the Democrats(A...

My friend who went to Cayuga for the final week said it was 375,000 x 3. Maybe not in two days, but in the final week. Surreal. Driven by data. A nation wide political machine. Elections are now a sham. The business I am trying to break into is to create apps that lower the barrier to entry for cam...

Sounds like the New Deal.

Similar but Roosevelt and the Democrats nationally counted on local political machines. Not a national one.

^^^^^ Personally I am feeling ambivalent towards the internet. Nearly all web pages have multiple scripts running to detect who you are and track your movements online. Obama's BigData certainly made the difference in the election, and will continue. Never mind it was Obama. It could have been eith...

Thanks Torchwood. Delighted to be here.

OOOOOKAY.... SO how many Palestinians would have died if Iron Dome had not worked and Israel invaded Gaza? Judging from last time's numbers, probably around 1300. Mostly women and children but no doubt because the Palestinians have no regard for human life and hide behind civilians. Extra Credit: H...

. Now, Roi Tov claims (courtesy of the IDF) 70% failure of Iron Dome. The cost per Iron Dome unit is US$50 million consisting of launchers and intercepters and the cost per missile launched is around US$40,000 to $100,000 (estimates vary) to intercept Qassam rockets that cost less than $100 :lol: ....
