In 2009, Air France Flight 447 was cruising at 35,000 feet over the Atlantic Ocean. The Airbus A330 was one of the most automated aircraft ever built. The pilots barely needed to fly it-automation handled almost everything. Then the airspeed sensors iced over. The autopilot disengaged. Control handed to the pilots. And in the next four minutes, three highly trained pilots flew a perfectly functional aircraft into the ocean, killing all 228 people aboard. ...

In 2006, Netflix announced a challenge: improve our recommendation algorithm by 10%, win $1 million. The Netflix Prize became one of the most famous machine learning competitions ever. Thousands of teams from around the world competed for three years. In 2009, team “BellKor’s Pragmatic Chaos” won. They’d built an algorithm that was 10.06% better than Netflix’s existing system. Netflix awarded the $1 million prize. The press celebrated the triumph of data science. ...

In March 2000, the NASDAQ peaked at 5,048-more than double its value from a year earlier. Companies with no revenue, no profits, and often no viable business model were worth billions. Pets.com spent $27 million on advertising (including a Super Bowl ad) and collapsed nine months after its IPO. Webvan raised $800 million to deliver groceries. It shut down after burning through all the money in less than two years. ...
