Job: Data Science Consultant, Governments and NGOs

For me it's primarily population data. It's not exactly 'big' data in the raw form, but what makes it bigger are the variations analyzing, applications of predictive models, and new metadata values extracted from it.

The data grows faster than we're collecting it exponentially because of all the analysis.

It took them 8 years to figure out there's a market in Enterprise? I hope they make it easy to convert from private FB Groups to 'Work' accounts because any company I know who would use FB for work is already doing so using that option.

Calling out racism and diversity might be a problem worth talking about, but it's a shame to me that this community seems more interested in having that discussion versus reflecting on why it continues to be called out in the first place. It seems like we're all about solving the worlds most difficult problems until it comes to the ones that hit closest to home.

This logic works until scale, then it's the same 'signal to noise' problem all social networks have. Tumblr, Wordpress, and Blogger all claimed to help build communities around user content at one point...and now Quora is throwing its hat in the ring. I use all four for blogging and rarely get any attention I didn't create the old fashioned way (self-promotion).

I think what's been built here is cool and wish you the best, I'm just doubtful that the proposed value prop allows Glipho to differentiate from the pack.

Yes, it is.

At metalayer.com we use Python heavily for our web app and some C for backend/scalability stuff. We're also hiring. Would love to chat.
