Spear: the earliest “superweapon” from the wood age
This is a photo of a spear (from Mesa Verde National Park). New research suggests is the earliest “superweapon” that the ancestors of humans developed (and probably drove evolution not just of our species but the whole genus.) The is is actually a rather advanced-looking model of a spear as it already attaches stone (so Stone Age). It is know that the ancestors of humans (preceeding our species) already using spears 400,000 to 500,000 years ago. Apparently there was a “wood age” that preceded the stone age (Wikipedia) by millions of years, but hasn’t survived much in the archaeological record. However, the latest evidence from just this year shows chimps already use spears in difficult circumstance (or rather sharped or broken sticks as spears, nothing as advanced here). This suggests the ancestors of humans used them 5-7 million years ago (and that early “superweapon” and need to make competent spears probably drove the evolution of our whole genus.… Read the restAir Quality Egg (AQE) open-source IoT photo
This is a first-generation Air Quality Egg (AQE) node (Wikipedia article) from WickedDevices in Ithaca, New York (no affiliation, although our mobile app does support it). Yes, it looks like holiday lights when operating. It changes color form purple, green, and other colors when it receives data. The AQE is an open-source hardware Internet of Things device. That means you can download the schematic and modify it yourself. Nowadays, most hardware prototyping (especially open-source) is done with the Arudino hardware prototyping system. There’s a special “Air Quality Egg” shield circuit board that holds the air quality sensors, but you can think of the Arudino as software. In the old days, electronics engineers would have to rewire stuff. But, in an Arudino, you “rewire” things by changing the software code in its microcontroller. The Arudino takes the output from the AQE shield bus and transmits it (via ethernet cable in this case).… Read the restCollage of recent photo posts

We’re doing a forthcoming piece on careers in data science! (Forbes article on why this is one of the hottest career paths currently.) If you have questions, now’s time to ask! Do you really need a PhD or masters in a hard science to get into data science? Do you need statistics training, applied math, engineering, and/or CS? What about and parallelism that aren’t taught that much at university? How about an or degree instead? How about an MBA? Do you really need Python, R ,or Sql? (And what are those?) Some of us have interviewed hundreds of prospective data scientists, engineers, project managers, and executives in data science-related areas! We’ve built our own teams of data scientists and data engineers. Our CEO (unofficial external Wikipedia bio) has given career talks and been quoted in the leading career-blogs like the Yahoo! Monster Jobs and many others. We have all sorts of stories (anonymous of course!)… Read the restRecent Posts
