| Aug 11, 2017 at 19:53 | comment | added | Ricardo | I think the "beer+diapers" link is broken. It now redirects to Jason's homepage at frandweb.net. It may be due to his recent retirement. Any chance you can find the article elsewhere and fix the link? I tried googling for it, but didn't succeed. | |

| Sep 11, 2012 at 16:15 | comment | added | Jonathan | Great point on the use of big data for traffic information. Since companies like Google and Apple already do this, I think this is a great example of where (currently available) big data can fall short for some audiences, and I tried to incorporate it in my answer too. | |
