Anyone else think we need a Slashdot view that omits comments? That way we could pretend Slashdot comments don’t exist.

#strataconf: Speakers deny BigData is passé. Looking at audience and speakers, it is at least middle-aged respectable. So what’s sexy in 2013?

Maybe the growth market for Google Glass will be geezers like me. We wear glasses anyway, we don’t much care what we look like any more, and our memories suck. Imagine Glass-powered boomers. Cue evil laughter.

I think it is very cool that a 1998 NYT letter to the editor about Deming by Lloyd Dobyns is the first hit on a Google search I did on pioneers of process improvement. World of wonders.

Thinking about the biology of brains and exercise. Brains are not an end in themselves, they are a means to an end. So activity->need food->need brain. Inactivity->don’t need brain->turn it off. Alas, doesn’t fit our current environment.

A friend spent lunch on his scheme to increase price transparency in healthcare; reversing a 50 year process of price obfuscation. Made me wonder if federal health care exchanges will publish their rates. Maybe use a FOIA request to get data?
