The ethics of data flow

O'Reilly on Data

There’s a long history of language about moving data: we have had dataflow architectures, there's a great blog on visualization titled FlowingData , and Amazon Web Services has a service for moving data by the (literal) truckload.

And people add a lot of time. However, we’ll always need people to come up with the overarching prediction problems to solve and to make the ultimate choices to solve them, but there is a lot of data science work now that
