There's a revolution occurring in how war and conflict are waged. New data-intensive systems are being developed; and commercial tech infrastructure is now supporting military operations. Data plays a key role in this revolution. Data is used to train and test systems, and the systems are fed data to target operations, communities, and individuals. While intelligence has long informed warfare, now we're seeing the very same dynamics that gave rise to surveillance capitalism feed a new era of innovation, feed a new era of innovation,

"It's a rip off 'Find my Friends.' I was able to reverse engineer the SF parking ticket system so I could see close to real time where parking tickets were issued in the city. And I was making a map of where the actual parking cops were as they traverse the city and issue tickets. In theory, you could use that to avoid them and avoid a ticket," said Walz.

"It was a hard fought battle. To win by 11 points out of a maximum possible 3,750 is what some might call 'by the skin of my teeth'."

Right now, if you go to FanGraphs and sort by position player fWAR with 200 or more PAs, you get a list that maybe isn't that surprising. Or, rather, the placement of some guys might be surprising, but anyway... Aaron Judge, Bobby Witt Jr., Shohei Ohtani - those guys are phenomenal but they were better last year. Cal Raleigh is having a legendary season but has been an All-Star-plus quality guy for years now.

Trading can be exciting, but it is also unpredictable. Many traders lose money because they start trading live without testing their strategy. This is where backtesting comes in. It allows traders to test their strategies on historical trading data before risking real money. By understanding how a strategy would have worked in different market conditions, traders can make smarter decisions and reduce risks.

Netflix emphasizes that the more you use the platform, the more personalized it will become. Source. Are you sure your feeds - Netflix, Amazon, whatever social media you prefer - is providing you with personalized content? (More about the difference between personalization and customization here.) Are you being given content that aligns with your actual interests, or is the algorithm steering you around?

Google recently introduced a columnar engine for its globally distributed database, Spanner, intending to resolve the long-standing conflict between online transaction processing (OLTP) and analytical query processing (OLAP). The new feature, currently in preview, allows Spanner (Enterprise and Enterprise Plus editions) to handle both workloads simultaneously on a single database, eliminating the need for separate data warehouses and complex ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipelines.

Can you create a histogram of game total scores to see the distribution of scoring? Could you make a box plot comparing home vs away team scores? Let's create a scatter plot of temperature vs total score to see if weather affects scoring. Can you show me the distribution of betting spreads and how they relate to actual game results? Could you create a visualization showing win/loss records by team?

Cheering at the stadiums and buying replica jerseys shifted to new ways to consume sports. Live matches on the Sportsbet betting platform, social media, fantasy leagues, highlights, and apps are capturing the attention of today's fans. Teams and brands understand that to keep fans engaged, they need to meet them wherever they are. This triggered an entirely new approach based on data about fans' behaviours, which proved to be just as valuable as the sports themselves.

Pew Research asked U.S. adults if certain behaviors in public, such as cursing or smoking, were acceptable. The above are the results for four age groups. For every behavior, the percentage of people who said it was rarely or never acceptable increased with age. Television and movies (and my own experiences) would tell you that sounds about right, but for some reason the clear trend surprised me. A quiz with the behaviors lets you get in on the action to see how crotchety you are.

Over the course of several years designing and delivering enterprise data platforms for a global pharmaceutical leader, I witnessed firsthand how data had evolved from a backend enabler to a frontline business asset. The organization was no longer just looking to report historical performance; it needed to predict outcomes, personalize patient engagement, customer engagement, brand performance and make regulatory decisions in near real time.

The ADF test results confirm that both the gas base fee and blob gas base fee time series are stationary, with test statistics of -6.3719 and -10.5237.

Snowpark Connect facilitates Apache Spark code execution directly within Snowflake warehouses, eliminating the need for separate Spark clusters and associated complexities like data movement.

Customers have been using Spark for a long time to process data and get it ready for use in analytics or in AI. The burden of running in separate systems with different compute engines creates complexity in governance and infrastructure.

Over a quarter of data and analytics professionals worldwide estimate that poor-quality data costs companies over $5 million annually, with 7% putting the figure at $25 million or more.

With the 2.1 release, Apache Flink also now supports Process Table Functions (PTFs), the most powerful kind of function for Flink SQL and Table API.

Time travel in Apache Iceberg allows users to precisely identify which data snapshot produced exceptional results, eliminating the need to sift through production logs.

In traditional systems, side effects lead to increased complexity, debugging challenges, and unpredictable behavior. CocoIndex adopts a pure data flow programming approach, ensuring reliability.
