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.
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.
