It happens to me that I just discover this guy few days ago on Youtube in an all but mind boggling interview in 2009 about Hadoop related to Big Data.Guess what I went through this talk again,over the 2 weeks, then ended browsing the web about the topic, which turns out to be life changing. Mike is without any doubt one of the most smart guys I've got to hear for years. He could have been some whom I might knew, all stuffs around would have taken another fate.

Thanks for posting the vid.

Crack pipe valuation - that's my new favorite term. Feeling sorry for bankers who didn't underdstand the business? That's awkward even to think of...
