Einsteins theory of "Gravitational Waves" has finally been proven opening a new world for science. Ripples in space-time have been detected a century after Einstein predicted that space and time form a stretchy fabric that bends under heavy objects - and to feel gravity is to fall along the fabric’s curves. What exactly does this imply?
A recent report "Big Data: A Tool for Inclusion or Exclusion?" from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission sent a warning to companies using "big data" to track consumer behavior to guide business decisions. "Big data’s role is growing in nearly every area of business, affecting millions of consumers in concrete ways. The potential benefits to consumers are significant, but businesses must ensure that their big data use does not lead to harmful exclusion or discrimination."
