Better search can help government serve people when they need it most

As citizens, we interact with the government at various points in our lives. Many interactions serve as important rites of passage like obtaining a marriage or business license, claiming a new dependent on a tax return, or filing for retirement benefits. Other interactions serve as a safety net like obtaining financial assistance after a disaster or reporting a scam attempt. No matter the reason for transacting with the government, citizens want the interaction to be as frictionless as possible.

Using the New Flux "types" Package

As a strictly typed language, Flux protects you from a lot of potential runtime failures. However, if you don’t know the column types on the data you’re querying, you might encounter some annoying errors. Suppose you have a bucket that receives regular writes from multiple different streams, and you want to write a task to downsample a measurement from that bucket into another bucket.

Ok, Big Data. I See What You Did There.

Let’s face it: The big data game is kicking the pants off of everything that we’ve ever valued as a social commodity within anyone’s digital reach. In fact, data is so hot right now that even the value of oil has been told to go sit in the corner of the room, be quiet and color. Yep, you too King Cash. This also explains why your data by itself, as a standalone asset, is not considered as ‘valuable’ as you would think.
