100 billion Points Every Day

100 billion Points Every Day

100 billion is a very large number, let's say that I gave you a spreadsheet with 100 billion rows in it, each row consisted of five columns Latitude, Longitude, Device ID, A Timestamp, and a column telling the name of the data provider

What would you do with that?

How would you clean it? Make sense of it? Extract value from it? What would people use it for? And how would you do this in a way that could be systematized?

FourSquare does this every day with the help of something they call a movement engine.

To help understand more about how they do this I have invited Gabriel Durkin the director of data science on the podcast. This is the last in a series of episodes I have worked on together with FourSquare and I have to say it's been really enjoyable working with them.
