Scientific data are not taken for museum purposes; they are taken as a basis for doing something. If nothing is to be done with the data, then there is no use in collecting any. The ultimate purpose of taking data is to provide a basis for action or a recommendation for action. The step intermediate between the collection of data and the action is prediction.

W. Edwards Deming

More data beats clever algorithms, but better data beats more data.

Peter Norvig

Anthony Hitt

The biggest mistake is an over-reliance on data. Managers will say if there are no data they can take no action. However, data only exist about the past. By the time data become conclusive, it is too late to take actions based on those conclusions.

Clayton Christensen

Buddhists have a long-standing tradition of believing that at some level we always know what the best course of action is in any given situation. We just have to be quiet enough to let that course of action present itself to us. And we need the confidence to act when life shows us what we need to do.

Brad Warner

One of the myths about the Internet of Things is that companies have all the data they need, but their real challenge is making sense of it. In reality, the cost of collecting some kinds of data remains too high, the quality of the data isn't always good enough, and it remains difficult to integrate multiple data sources.

Chris Murphy

Nothing ever sounds quite the way it does when you're standing right in the middle of it.

Michael Davis

In the past, Google has used teams of humans to 'read' its street address images - in essence, to render images into actionable data. But using neural network technology, the company has trained computers to extract that data automatically - and with a level of accuracy that meets or beats human operators.

John Battelle

God can judge me, I don't need a jury. Nothing standing in my way, like nothing's my security.

Lil Wayne

When I look at the next set of technologies that we have to build in Salesforce, it's all data-science-based technology. We don't need more cloud. We don't need more mobile. We don't need more social. We need more data science.

Marc Benioff

Demagoguery beats data in making public policy.

Dick Armey

Nothing beats being really honest about who you are and what you need. All the rest just works itself out.

Jon Voight

I'm officially middle-aged. I don't need drugs anymore, thank God. I can get the same effect just by standing up real fast.

Jonathan Katz

In any social situation I'd much rather be on the periphery of things than at the centre. When I'm standing at the edge I'm comfortable in my own skin. When I'm standing in the middle it's all confusion.
