how to analyze people on sight:

i stumbled across this little wonder while off on one of my tangents while studying. it comes from project gutenberg. pretty amazing site actually, 100’s of e-books for free. classic authors and minds. this book was published in 1921, written by elsie lincoln and ralph paine benedict. it was collaborated on with great minds including a harvard prof. it was well renowned for its cutting edge insight in its heyday. it’s hysterical and incredibly entertaining. a must look.

brigitte bardot:

my grandma, in minnesota, had a toy poodle after having several labradors. she named her brigitte bardot. little brigitte was a little bit mean from my mom’s memory. she ran away and my grandma was pretty upset. a month or so later she was the front page photograph of the newspaper. brigitte was leading a pack of (large) dogs who were attacking the farm animals in their rural town.

“Anyone who sees an emergency can call a central number. A smartphone app instantly alerts the nearest first aider, who may be only a block away, standing behind a deli counter or dozing in a meeting.”

- A charity in Israel is using ubiquitous gadgets to co-ordinate an army of volunteer first aiders. With sufficient backing, they say the scheme could enable them to respond to nearly any emergency call within 90 seconds. (via theeconomist)

To his admirers, he was a courageous advocate for the rights of African Americans, a man who indicted white America in the harshest terms for its crimes against black Americans.

Big data is not only big, but it’s messy and uncurated and it’s not like traditional relational databases where everything fits into nice little rows and tables. The problem is getting timely answers of sufficient quality within the budget you want.
