Calling Bullshit 5.1: Big Data

[@yesmsg429]

When I was learning Russian, my self study book had the phrase: My father was killed by a tiger. WTH? However, 25 years later it is the one Russian phrase I remember, and can even spell. So your pony metaphor was excellent. Having worked in Big Data, I will use that for sure (with attribution Carl)

О, мой отец был убит тигром. Запомню на ближайшие 25 лет. Хотя, конечно, пример с "существенно большой кучей навоза и пони" - еще лучше. Это я запомню уже до конца жизни! Великолепно, Карл!

Science is rigor and having a lot of data is useless without it. Also, the practical application of the group dynamics that big data provides insight to is nothing to do with big data.

Is Big Data solely quantitative? And how about qualitative data?

[@owlnyc666]

Humans are not bias free, are fallible, take in garbage and out put garbage, and have ethical algorithms 🤔😉😁😥

Well, qualitative data needs to be quantified to proceed for data analysis anyway
