This is advertising BigQuery[0] which is a Google Product people may be less familiar with. This nicely shows off what can be done using a large dataset.

I'm grateful for the work they've done here, and I have no doubt individual employees donated either their free time or 20% time (or w/e it is now). But that doesn't negate the fact that this is an advert for BigQuery.
