U.S. government joins push for more data scientists
Three universities, two foundations and White House Office of Science and Technology Policy announce multi-million-dollar initiative to boost data science Phi Beta Iota: Anyone emphasizing data over humans and education is part of the problem.

Expensive, stupid, and ultimately toxic.
