Daily Thoughts 07/19/2014
I started reading Dataclysm by Christian Rudder. Christian Rudder works for OKCupid which is an online dating site. A lot of the material is big data about human relationships. Christian Rudder takes massive numbers of people and generates statistics on how people interact. He strips away the identity of the people and uses large numbers to find things about how people are.
I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library.
