pickThis is an interesting look at data science and how it can be used and misused, based on your perspective. Fascinating. But not entirely surprising.

pickAwesome intro to how data models can inadvertently (or advertently) screw individuals and society over. Was going to be a great prelude to a data training but then the rona hit.
pickFun book to read about the growing field of mega data and what we can learn from it. Much of the book was based upon google search information as it reveals the secret thoughts of everyone. We Google what we don‘t know or what we‘re struggling with. I see the author has a newer book that I am interested in too.
Leapt to the top of my TBR list as soon as I saw it.
panViktor Mayer-Schönberger is Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation at Oxford University. Thomas Ramge is technology correspondence for Brand eins. This is a widely general look at how the use of data could replace existing price or money based capitalism and in turn change the meaning of the firm as a means of carrying out business that refuses to examine how data is generated and AI created and therefore is of theoretical use only.
I've just started on this one, and it's a really fascinating and intuitively “right“-feeling idea: Google searches tell us things that people never will, even with careful polling. I'm enjoying it so far.
I'm also doing well with #BookSpinBingo; honestly considering aiming for a blackout. I've read 20 books so far this year, not all of which are counted here (I excluded short books).
I'm currently in the section of the book covering the us news and world report impact on college admissions. I want to dig more into the industry that rose around this, anyone know of further reading on this? This feels similarly systemic as the tax prep market and the inefficiencies in health care.
How Internet searches show what people are really thinking and what combinations of massive amounts of data can reveal.
Fascinating. Some of the results are counter-intuitive: 👇
This is turning out to be more frightening than Megan Abbott‘s latest! #TheTruthIsScarierThanFiction #SurveillanceState #BigData
