The difference between a Reporting Squirrel and Analysis Ninja? Insights. As in, the former is in the business of providing data, the latter in the business of understanding the performance implied by the data. That understanding leads to insights about why the performance occurred, which leads to so what we should do. Do you see how far away a Reporting Squirrel's job is from that of an Analysis Ninja?

by SEAN GERRISH and AMIR NAJMI To deliver the services our users have come to rely upon, Googlers have to process a lot of data — often at web-scale.

The perimeter fence model of IT security, which focused mainly on preventing external security threats with the digital equivalent of building a big fence around the perimeter of the organization with gates and guards securing a limited number of access points, was upended by the cloud. Cloud-based services float over fences and wirelessly through walls.

When it comes to data preparation and getting acquainted with data, the one step we normally skip is the data visualization. While a part of it could be attributed to the lack of good visualization tools for the platforms we use, most of us also get lazy at times. Now as we know of it Python never had any good Visualization library. For most of our plotting needs, I would read up blogs, hack up with StackOverflow solutions and haggle with Matplotlib documentation each and every time I needed to

by KAY BRODERSEN For the first time in the history of statistics, recent innovations in big data might allow us to estimate fine-grained causal effects, automatically and at scale. But the analytical challenges are substantial. Every idea at Google begins with a simple question. How can we predict the benefits the idea's realization would create for users, publishers, developers, or advertisers?

Discussions about the future of information technology typically center on two things: the cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT). Both are heavily hyped though neither are often well-defined and therefore not well-understood. Part of the problem is with the terminology. Cloud is a nebulous (pardon the pun) term that does little to describe what it is.

I generally have a use case for Hadoop in my daily job. It has made my life easier in a sense that I am able to get results which I was not able to see with SQL queries. But still I find it painfully slow. I have to write procedural programs while I work. As in merge these two datasets and then filter and then merge another dataset and then filter using some condition and yada-yada.
