EP16 Anaconda CTO Peter Wang on The Distributed Internet

Peter Wang is Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of Anaconda, the leading Python tools and data analytics company. Peter holds a B.A. in Physics from Cornell University and has been developing applications professionally using Python since 2001. Before co-founding Anaconda (formerly Continuum Analytics) in 2011, Peter spent seven years designing and developing applications for a variety of companies, including investment bankers, high-frequency trading firms, oil companies, and others. Peter also developed Chaco, an open-source, Python-based toolkit for interactive data visualization.

The discussion begins with a slew of new Python tools, including Numba, Dask, PyTorch, Chainer, CuPy, and PyData. That's followed by a long discussion about deep fakes, authentication, curation, and the ability to tell what's real from what isn't. The two IT pioneers then take on building a better Facebook, building a better economy, and finally building a better Internet with tools like Dat Projects and the Beaker Browser.
