Southwest China’s Guizhou province is one of the country’s poorest, most remote regions. But Guizhou has some unique advantages, which it is trying to use to transform itself into a big-data hub.
Data scientist Hillary Mason (previously) talks through her astoundingly useful collection of small shell scripts that automate all the choresome parts of her daily communications: processes that remind people when they owe her an email; that remind her when she accidentally drops her end of an exchange…
