Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 6 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Stoica: Hadoop's HDFS read/write cycle crippled early iterative machine learning
“If you look at the machine learning, it's, fundamentally, it's an iterative algorithm, and every iteration is turned into a Hadoop job. So between the iteration, you write the data and read the data from HDFS, so that's why it's very slow.”
IBM Watson used Apache UIMA and did not replace Hadoop
“I wouldn't assert that it replaces Hadoop. In fact, it's based on UEMA. It's an Apache project.”
Justin Borgman: Sears is making massive Hadoop investments to consolidate data
“Sears actually, there's been some interesting things written about Sears going in that direction. Which you think of, you know, major retail, you wouldn't think they would be, you know, compared to Facebook, but they are, and they're making huge investments in…”
Stoica: Early Hadoop was limited to batch processing
“So at that point, in big data space we there was Hadoop just started, but of course that was, by, back then it was mostly, you know, batch, computation, so you could do historical analysis, but not much more than that.”
