  2. Obama and Bush - cousins?

    We are all one big family. Former President Barack Obama "can call six US presidents his cousins: both Bushes, Ford, Johnson, Truman and James Madison." "Obama and President Bush are 10th cousins, once removed, linked by Samuel Hinkley of Cape Cod, who died in 1662." Brad "Pitt and Obama are ninth cousins, linked by Edwin Hickman, who died in Virginia in 1769."

  3. Listen: The power of data standards with Will Lansing, CEO of FICO

    A deep look into FICO (NYSE:FICO), data standards, the relationship between analytics and data companies, and how FICO successfully transformed their score into a currency. On World of DaaS.

  4. Why didn’t suicides rise during Covid?
