You might say it started way back to the time when bar codes came to prominence. Or maybe it starts with the first census. The fact remains that data mining (collecting and finding correlations or patterns among dozens of fields in large relational databases) is valuable information that allows businesses to control their inventory, seize upon trends and overall cut costs. How this information is collected and stored behind the scenes begins with something as simple as signing up for Facebook or a Google account. Mike Liberty
Once again, last week's edition of the Libertarian Roundup proved to be quite popular among you internet aficionados; and I thank you for it! For those of you who are especially attentively challenged, you'll be delighted to know that this week's edition consists of only two stories. That's right, now with 33% LESS! Now, in full disclosure, I am currently writing a rather ambitious piece, probably the first in a series, defending the Second Amendment argument by argument. I expect it to fill this space next week. Until then, enjoy a little light reading... |
