What it is

Peter Norvig, then Director of Research at Google, talks at Startup School 2008 about leveraging large amounts of data and about technical challenges in Google projects such as image search. A central idea is that data can beat hand-written programming.

Why Hacker News recommends it

HN points to it as a source for Norvig's 'unreasonable effectiveness of data' argument and for his views on image search and the semantic web.
