NBA 2K17 was already set to release on September 16 for pre-order customers, which is earlier this year than it ever has in the past. Apparently, 2K Sports wants an even quicker tip-off for the virtual hoops season.

Have you ever been dating or hooking up with so many people your friends can’t keep track of who is who? Or maybe even you are struggling to keep up with your romantic interests? 
Or even if you’ve found someone special, and you can’t wait to talk about, you find yourself  repeating the same stories or showing the same pictures to everyone you know separately?
Austin Cohen, a DJ from Miami, believes he has created the solution for these irritations through his new app WhoNow that helps daters share photos and stories about the people they are dating. “My expectation is that WhoNow is the next big thing,” he said. Right now they have a few thousand users mostly aged 18 to 35.  54 percent are women and 46 percent are men.
He created the app after a vacation to Los Angeles where he was “dating a few girls.” When he met up with his friends there or back home they would ask him to show pictures of the girls with whom he was hooking up. “I had to repeat the stories all over again,” he said. “I was annoyed with swiping through my photo albums looking for the great picture.” So he created what he calls the Instagram of dating; it would be crazy to text 15 people a picture of an awesome sunset and tell them the story separately, so why do it with dating?
There are three parts to the app. The first, an album of significant people in your life. You upload pictures and then add in information about where you met, where they like, and what they like. There is a Misc. section for any random information and you can add labels like “interested.” It’s like a spreadsheet of your dating life to keep everyone in one place. You can even archive people and keep a catalog of your past.
The next is where you do the sharing. You can choose to send certain profiles to all your friends, certain friends, or the anonymous community board. They can click on a heart button for approve, an x for get rid of, or the neutral smiley for I’m not sure.  They also can add comments.

Companies have rapidly adopted data lakes, viewing them as a complement or in some cases, a replacement for data marts and data warehouses. Data lakes have also generated a large amount of publicity as the bright, shiny, new storage technology for our big data era. Because more is always better, right? All this hype around data lakes has ignored their inherent drawbacks and limitations.
