Ask HN: Who is actually doing something with "Big Data"?
I'm not doubting the validity of the term. Obviously it exists. The big companies -- Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. -- all have enormous datasets to work with, so of course it's real.
But I read this term so much that it seems as though EVERYONE is working with it, and that just doesn't seem feasible to me.
Do you work with "Big Data" at your (preferably not aforementioned) company? What do you do with it? Where do you get it from? Are there any significant pain points?
