Monte Carlo for the win

Faster Space-Efficient Algorithms for Subset Sum, k-Sum and Related Problems shows the power of probabilistic thinking.

Computer Science has decades of deterministic baggage to overcome to move forward, especially to handle the speed and size of modern data.

Data Science's superpower is uniting Computer Science fundamentals with Statistics to create novel solutions to theoretical and applied problems.

Academic disciplines change "one tombstone at a time". Data Science doesn't have an Old Guard telling the field what the rules are. There is freedom to play everywhere.
