Martyn Richard Jones, Galicia, 14th May 2025.

I’m feeling generous, so I would like to introduce you to my top eight list of foolish things that people say about data.

I think that data does have a role to play in some businesses. I also believe that some of the basic distributed file store and text search technologies used in data can be usefully employed, in non-traditional indexing, counting and correlation. However, there is an awful lot of nonsense said and written about data.

So, onwards and upwards.

Lassie Does Data

Remember that old story about Lassie, the Yorkshire collie dog?

And, how Lassie would run across the Scottish highlands, lowlands and Yorkshire moors.

Aww, wasn’t she so cute?

Martyn Richard Jones, A Coruña, 22nd April 2025 – Buy Revealing Wealth

Introduction

If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper-middle class should even probably be cut further. But I think that people at the high end – people like myself – should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we’ve ever had it.

The Role of Statisticians in the Age of Data Science

Did data and AI kill the statistician?

Without a grounding in statistics, a Data Scientist is a Data Lab Assistant.

Martyn Jones

Hold this thought: There are big lies, damn big lies and data science with an AI chaser.

Statistics is a science, and some would argue that it is one of the oldest sciences.

Statistics can be traced back to the days of Augustus Caesar. He was a statesman, military leader, and the first emperor of the Roman Empire. Some set its provenance even earlier.

Indeed, suppose we accept that censuses are a part of statistics. In that case, we can trace history back to the Chinese Han Dynasty (2 AD). We can also consider the Egyptians (2,500 BC) and the Babylonians (4,000 BC).

Building Insight

BUY FROM AMAZON – IT’S A STEAL!

Structure is one of the life-support systems in a building. Only design decisions concerning fire have equally grave implications. People die from errors in structural design.

It has life-and-death consequences.[1]

Welcome to the world of corporate real estate management and advanced analytical insight. This is a book about building perception into a part of business that touches everything. Yes, it really is that big.

Neoliberalism: A Reflection

Martyn Richard Jones, A Coruña, 9th April 2025

In a compelling lecture by Enrique Javier Díez, a respected professor at the University of León, he opened with the well-worn Chinese proverb: “Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime.” A familiar refrain, often invoked in discussions of education and empowerment, it was a fitting start — but Díez, with the precision of a seasoned academic and the urgency of a citizen deeply attuned to the injustices of our time, was not content to leave it there.

Good and Bad

In our real and imaginary worlds, there is good and bad. But what does it mean?

Although not as clear-cut in all circumstances as some people might like, their use is valid. They offer a philosophical and ethical view of things, society, culture, and ideas, as well as providing a starting point for discussions on values and principles.
