Heads-up: One of Google’s most useful and also underappreciated features is on the brink of extinction.
I’m talkin’ about the cache-calling system that quietly existed within Google Search for years—typically buried within an inconspicuous menu inside your search results.
That system let you access a snapshot of any website from the recent past, which was an invaluable way to peek back at a site if it had just undergone some changes or even gone offline. After some sharp-

And while I can assure you that Netflix will inevitably raise its rates at some point in the future, here’s what

Despite all the technological innovation over the past 30 years, we are still asking the same data quality questions. Is my data accurate, complete, consistent? No wonder the issue isn’t going away: Without high quality data, enterprises can’t be data-driven.

And no enterprise—regardless of size—can afford to operate like that.
