If you weren't able to attend, you can still get a taste of Strata New York with the Strata Conference New York 2011: Complete Video Compilation . At our first Strata Conference in February, forward-thinking developers, analysts, researchers, and entrepreneurs realized that they were converging on a new profession—data scientist. Since then, demand has skyrocketed for data scientists who are proficient in the fast-moving constellation of technologies for gleaning insight and utility from big data. "A significant constraint on realizing value from big data will be a shortage of talent, particularly of people with deep expertise in statistic and machine learning, and the manager and analysts who know how to operate companies by using insights from big data."

Angling to develop for Google Glass? Google gives some insight If you’re looking for a taste of what it will be like to develop for Google Glass, the company posted a video demonstrating the hardware and a little bit of the API on Thursday. Timothy Jordan, a senior developer advocate at Google, gave a talk at SXSW in early March that lasted just shy of an hour and gave a look into the platform. Google Glass bears more similarity to the Web than the Android mobile operating system, so developing for it is simpler than creating an Android application. During the talk, Jordan goes over some the functionality developers can get out of the Mirror API, which allows apps to pop Timeline Cards into a user’s view, as well as show new items from services the user might be subscribed to (weather, wire services, and so forth). Jordan also shows how users can interact with items that crop up using the API.

I have been hearing the term “big data” a lot lately (should it be capitalized?) and may even have talked about it inadvertently in my latest blog (“What Lurks in your Unstructured Data?”). But, I am not sure what it is.

Visual Database Creation with MySQL Workbench In today's tutorial, you'll learn how to use a visual database modeling utility to draw a database diagram and automatically generate SQL. Specifically, we'll review how to use MySQL Workbench, a cross-platform, visual database design tool. What is MySQL Workbench? MySQL Workbench is a powerful tool developed by MySQL with three primary areas of functionality:

Seizing the potential of ‘big data’ - McKinsey Quarterly - Strategy - Strategy in Practice Large-scale data gathering and analytics are quickly becoming a new frontier of competitive differentiation. While the moves of companies such as Amazon.com, Google, and Netflix grab the headlines in this space, other companies are quietly making progress. In fact, companies in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to retailing to telecommunications to insurance have begun moving forward with big data strategies in recent months. Together, the activities of those companies illustrate novel strategic approaches to big data and shed light on the challenges CEOs and other senior executives face as they work to shatter the organizational inertia that can prevent big data initiatives from taking root.

MR3020 Download the firmware update that applies to the type of router that you are using to build your LibraryBox. Pay special attention to the Version # of the hardware, as some of these have a v1 and v2 where the hardware changes and a different firmware is needed. Download the LibraryBox v2.0 Install folder (as zip file) MD5 Hash: 59423526AE160107E60265C212904E1E Unzip the install_librarybox.zip file, so that you are left with an install folder, and copy both the install folder AND the firmware file onto your FAT 32 formatted USB stick. The only things on your USB drive should be a folder called "install" copied from the unzipped install_librarybox.zip file and the firmware. Plug the FAT 32 formatted USB drive into the router's USB port. If the router has a selection switch for mode (like the MR3020) ensure that it's set to WISP.

Are you ready for the era of ‘big data’? - McKinsey Quarterly - Strategy - Innovation The top marketing executive at a sizable US retailer recently found herself perplexed by the sales reports she was getting. A major competitor was steadily gaining market share across a range of profitable segments. Despite a counterpunch that combined online promotions with merchandizing improvements, her company kept losing ground. When the executive convened a group of senior leaders to dig into the competitor’s practices, they found that the challenge ran deeper than they had imagined. The competitor had made massive investments in its ability to collect, integrate, and analyze data from each store and every sales unit and had used this ability to run myriad real-world experiments. At the same time, it had linked this information to suppliers’ databases, making it possible to adjust prices in real time, to reorder hot-selling items automatically, and to shift items from store to store easily.

Ask Ars: Why are some programming languages faster than others? In our look at scientific computing and the continued longevity of Fortran in science and engineering circles, one of the recurring themes in the discussion that followed was performance. One of the big reasons that Fortran remains important is because it's fast: number crunching routines written in Fortran tend to be quicker than equivalent routines written in most other languages. The languages that are competing with Fortran in this space—C and C++—are used because they're competitive with this performance. This raises the question: why? What is it about C++ and Fortran that make them fast, and why do they outperform other popular languages, such as Java or Python? Interpreting versus compiling

Competing through data: Three experts offer their game plans - McKinsey Quarterly - Marketing & Sales - Digital Marketing The ability to generate and analyze massive amounts of data today demands that executives rethink the role of information in business and even the nature of competitive advantage. In this interactive video, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor Erik Brynjolfsson explores intriguing new research about the relationship among data, analytics, productivity, and profitability. Jeff Hammerbacher, cofounder of the data-oriented start-up Cloudera, describes what it takes to harness the “big data” that companies collect. Finally, Butler University men’s basketball coach Brad Stevens explains how he uses data to help his squad punch above its weight. McKinsey’s Michael Chui and Frank Comes conducted the interviews.
