[Noisebridge-discuss] [sudo-discuss] has anyone worked with open data from socrata?

Thanks mike! It didn't occur to me to chat with the machine learning folks. 

That's a great idea! 

It's nice I think a lot of data can also be downloaded as a big Json or excel file so it doesn't have to be called on the rest API as well
