Men and machines are good at different things. People form plans and make decisions in complicated situations. We are less good at making sense of enormous amounts of data. Computers are exactly the opposite: they excel at efficient data processing but struggle to make basic judgments that would be simple for any human.

Peter Thiel

If history teaches anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.

Ronald Reagan

If history teaches anything, it teaches that self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.

There is always some basic principle that will ultimately get the Republican party together. If my observations are worth anything, that basic principle is the cohesive power of public plunder.

Anselm J. McLaurin

If history teaches us anything, it teaches that simple-minded appeasement or wishful thinking about our adversaries is folly.

Ronald Reagan

MapReduce has become the assembly language for big data processing, and SnapReduce employs sophisticated techniques to compile SnapLogic data integration pipelines into this new big data target language. Applying everything we know about the two worlds of integration and Hadoop, we built our technology to directly fit MapReduce, making the process of connectivity and large scale data integration seamless and simple.

I'm doing a lot of cognitive processing. I'm gathering research. I'm processing it. I'm arranging the data. I'm sorting out the narrative. I'm designing. It's almost as if I do all the cognitive work that you then don't have to do. I digest it, process it, and then offer something that's very easy for you to digest.

We need a basic protection for people having access to their data and knowing where their data is.

Ro Khanna

I really do believe that the basic principle that Americans have the right to know what they're buying when they buy it is going to be something that spreads across this country very quickly, and that the food manufacturers would be wise to be leaders instead of trying to block this with lawsuits and other ways of trying to get their way.

Peter Shumlin

Ultimately, thinking is a very inefficient method of processing data.

Frederick Lenz

Here is a guiding principle: If a business collects data on consumers electronically, it should provide them with a version of that data that is easy to download and export to another Web site.

Richard Thaler

I have files, I have computer files and, you know, files on paper. But most of it is really in my head. So God help me if anything ever happens to my head!

George R. R. Martin

I was always a data guy, not a theorist. Theorists can maintain total purity. The data are always messy.

Austan Goolsbee

The same rule that teaches the propriety of a partition between the various branches of power, teaches us likewise that this partition ought to be so contrived as to render the one independent of the other.
