I'm at an analytics conference and Billy Beane is a keynote speaker. Lots of baseball geek data. Cool to hear the story from the horse's mouth so to speak.

At one point he talked about how you can build a winning team with math. I wanted to ask if you can build a World Series Champ with it but I didn't get a chance."It's true that everything happens for a reason.

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Informatics is much wider scoped IMO. This is about business intelligence / data mining, etc. the massive amounts of data that exist."It's true that everything happens for a reason. Just remember that sometimes that reason is that you did something really, really, stupid."Comment

I'm not really doing the analytics/data mining stuff (that's another group), but I'm definitely doing healthcare "in the cloud" and laying the foundation for the analytics group to use the data for their stuff.Originally posted by FMCoug View PostDon't worry about people stealing your ideas.

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach FinstockComment
