What Should Data Scientists Know?

Are there really 28,504 data scientist positions posted on the recruiting site Dice.com? That’s the number that comes up when you search for “data scientist,” but that incorporates listings that include both words, together or not. According to Dice, the number at any given time is actually more like 150.
Even so, it’s a desirable job. After all, no less than the Harvard Business Review, back in 2012, dubbed the position of data scientist as the sexiest job of the 21st century. As Wired noted the following year, “Nate Silver’s eerily accurate election predictions and Paul DePodesta’s baseball-revolutionizingMoneyball techniques” made celebrities of math nerds. Just a week or so ago, Mashable called it2015’s hottest profession.
In a stunning collision of increased demand and diminished supply, though, a couple of weeks ago CNBC’s Nyshka Chandran cited data from both McKinsey and IDC showing there will be horrific shortfalls in the number of data scientist candidates available. Forbes columnist Louis Columbus, looking at where big data jobs will be in 2015, used data from Wanted Analytics and reached similar conclusions.

Gartner Predicts Three Big Data Trends for Business Intelligence

Big data has given businesses a window into valuable streams of information from customer purchasing habits to inventory status. However, internal data streams give only a limited picture, especially with the growth of digital business.
Three trends Gartner has identified describe information’s ability to transform business processes over the next few years.
Our predictions include:
No. 1: By 2020, information will be used to reinvent, digitalize or eliminate 80% of business processes and products from a decade earlier.As the presence of the Internet of Things (IoT) — such as connected devices, sensors and smart machines — grows, the ability of things to generate new types of real-time information and to actively participate in an industry’s value stream will also grow.

Verizon to sell $15B in assets, launches $5B buyback


Lightning struck twice at Verizon on Thursday evening as the telecom behemoth announced a $15.54 billion sale in assets in two separate transactions.

Verizon announced plans to sell its local wireline business in California, Texas and Florida to Frontier Communications for $10.54 billion, Verizon said. It will also sell the leasing and operating rights to 11,324 wireless communication towers to American Tower for about $5 billion. The Boston-based American Tower will also purchase 165 additional towers outright from Verizon in the transaction.

Verizon's stock rose about 1 percent in after-hours trading following the announcement, while Frontier's shares rose almost 4 percent. American Tower's stock also rose slightly after the bell.






Verizon's deal with Frontier marks the second time in six years the two companies have done business together. Frontier bought 4.8 million rural phone lines from Verizon for $8.6 billion, according to a Reuters report. The New York City-based company also said it would buy back $5 billion in shares starting in this year's second quarter.

In China, US tech firms turn to domestic rivals for survival

(Reuters) - U.S. technology companies in China are forming alliances with domestic firms, hoping that having a local partner will make it easier to operate in the increasingly tough environment for foreign businesses in the world's second-biggesteconomy.

China's government has been openly pushing for the use of more Chinese and less foreign-made technology, both to grow its own tech sector and as a response to former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden's leaks about widespread U.S. cyber surveillance.







Simmering tensions over the issue spilled into public view on Wednesday, when U.S. business lobbies urged Beijing to postpone implementing new policies to make China's finance sector more dependent on domestic technology.

In a letter to China's Central Leading Group for Cyberspace Affairs, chaired by President Xi Jinping, a group of U.S. business associations called for "urgent discussions" with China on worries that new government proposals are "discriminatory", require disclosure of sensitive information, and could isolate China's tech sector.

How Can We Get Business to Care about Freedom, Openness and Interoperability?

They use our stuff. Why not our values too?
At this point in history, arguments for using Linux, FOSS (free and open-source software) and the Internet make themselves. Yet the virtues behind those things—freedom, openness, compatibility, interoperability, substitutability—still tend to be ignored by commercial builders of new stuff.
