Do you agree with this?
Vincent Granville replied and wrote: There are all sorts of data scientists. In my case, as an entrepreneur managing a company on auto-pilot (no employee, 7-digits yearly revenue with 80% margins, with significant outsourcing to vendors), none of the above test questions apply, I'd probably fail most of them, but I am a data scientist nevertheless (click here to see what I do), as well as business / growth / data hacker.

Yeah, Functional Programming is helpful in this but According to me, We can not avoid Business Intelligence, it is related to Data also in many things.
Thanks Vincent to sharing it , i know what is hadoop ,but curious to know one of the point which paco pondered that avoid anything referred to as “The Hadoop Ecosystem” or “Hadoop as an OS” , being a data scientist why should we avoid Hadoop ? cause its not the matter to architecture only ,there are several things involved with Hadoop ecosystem like Pig , MapReducer ,Hive , Oozie and many more which give you an aid to target the data and process the data to get insight.If a Data Scientis handy on such tools then you can make different experiment with different questions, isnt?
Hadoop is just an implementation of distributed architecture based on file management and splitting/merging tasks into smaller ones, and get them distributed usually over several servers (cloud) or on your machine (single node). This is fundamental in computer science to process large transactional data that results in hash tables too big to fit in memory. If you hate Hadoop (the standard today), you'll have to create some sort of Hadoop of your own.
Yeah, I too am curious about the Hadoop-related recommendations. Is it due to excessive buzzwordism, or some fundamental dislike of all thing Hadoop ? .. something else?
There is no doubt that Data Science is a fascinating path, but get into it is not for every one. Am looking for a mentor shadowing my progress. I know, on line there are plenty of webinar instructions for free, i.e. http://www.gopivotal.com/big-data/webinar/stuck-in-traffic-saved-by...
but having resources access remains a crucial factor. Thx! Chris
Why avoid Business Intelligence..I know they are different disciplines but I find them to be relative...distant cousins perhaps..:)
Good work Paco , why avoiding "The Hadoop Ecosystem" or “Hadoop as an OS” ?
@Vincent, I would love to get access to your algorithm. I can think of some fun things to do in my data science class with something like that! Have you posted the algorithm anywhere for public access? Thanks!!
Hi Kirk, I updated Paco's picture: I hand-drawn it, then scanned and uploaded it. Just kidding, I used data science (an algorithm) to turn it into what looks like a hand-drawn picture. Wondering if it's possible (using data science) to identify transformed images like the one here, versus genuinely hand-drawn versions.
