There's so much more that could have been done, given just a little more work to turn this into a solid educational experience.
I guess that's where we differ. I see it as a starting point to so much more, not a point that it is insufficient. Hence my vision of inspiring to improve/develop/etc.
So I too agree SF's work on phant is admirable, but should it be a matter of chucking something out to let others do a better job?
I was impressed by their statement on the main Data page that their cloud "give data scientists more fun things to analyze," so I looked further. But no, it doesn't offer this at all. It provides random, almost useless streams of data of unknown quantity. No self-respecting data "scientist" will use it.
I worry about good ideas that get lost because their implementation is half-cocked.
