I disagree with the title, Facebook isn't even a content creator.


You may find that you agree with the article though.


Except that it is in control of the information, which is the point of the article.


I don't think a computer could ever beat me at Calvinball

Hadoop could have been a good Pokémon name



Wasn't as bad as I thought it was, since I got all the questions right. Then again, I know a decent amount about Pokemon and enough about big data that I could say 'well, this doesn't sound like a Pokemon I've heard of, it must be big data'.

My favorite thing in Shenzhen is bargaining for electronics at Huaqiangbei, it feels like going to Disneyland. Over millions of square feet, merchants sell stuff from wires, LEDs and transistors to headphones, monitors and hard-drives.

Definitely try learning numbers in Mandarin and work on your poker face before getting your plane ticket.


They'll probably end up charging people for it
