What have we learned from our first group of profiles? To put it succinctly - community, simplicity and variety. #Data4good #dataforgood https://t.co/DGfMdG9lMO

me with a new dataset

Data analysts take note. The overwhelming success of deep learning proves that with the right algorithm, a pre-cleaned data set and as little as 20 million dollars worth of compute, anything is possible.

This is brilliant.

Recos from our chat with @CodeForBuffalo brigade captain @mpbrown716 On tech + urban future - The Smart Enough City by @benzevgreen On the threats of data use - Weapons of Math Destruction by @mathbabedotorg For criminal legal system system accountability - @CourtWatchNYC

Data, climate solutions and imaginal cells (didn’t know what those were either...every day’s a school day) with @juliekae @matthewtgardner Michael Ibach and Fahmida Ahmed Bangert @ChurchillClub #data4good #ClimateActionNow

There may come a day when we reflexively believe everybody younger than us is rotten. Thankfully that day has not yet come, so we get to appreciate what @mpbrown716 is up to captaining @CodeForBuffalo & tempering data-first with human-centered design. https://t.co/CM4d7b9FDw

Use the extra energy you have from stolen / withheld halloween candy to check out the fantastic @CityofMiami Resident Satisfaction Dashboard. Big thanks to @_Cheriene for taking the time to share her experience and crew's work for the residents of #Miami https://t.co/i9SzGlq9IV

Recommendations on leadership and organizational performance from our chat with Miami Strategic Planning & Performance Mgr @_Cheriene On @DENPeakAcademy - Peak Performance by Brian Elms On org health- The Advantage by @patricklencioni On leadership- Dare to Lead by @BreneBrown

Our friends are better people than we are, so this checks out mathematically and observationally. Very much enjoyed this piece from @AllenDowney on the inspection paradox. https://t.co/30owo3BeTW

What happens to 311 calls? If you're lucky, great people with data skills use them to improve services. We think that makes folks in #miamifl pretty lucky. We talked patience+ performance w/ @_Cheriene, Strategic Planning+ Performance Mgr, City of #Miami https://t.co/97EuNznWIB

It's easy to get discouraged doing data work in the mission-driven sphere, but a little reminder from @RandyBeanNVP that has given us comfort: This work is hard everywhere. https://t.co/JJwtg0hByv

Maybe we're unfailing optimists, but this looks like a positive sign (in the short term, at least). More firms know what they didn't know, so they are both improving AND feeling worse about where they stand. Seems like necessary / healthy growing pains?

Recommendations from our chat with English major to benefits and health care analyst @ChrisBrunton3 On staying sharp with Machine Learning & AI across sectors: @twimlai with @samcharrington For great analytic learning opportunities: @StanfordOnline

Good idea.

Five bucks you won't find a data conversation with a better reference to Carl Jung's "Modern Man in Search of a Soul" today. Thank you @ChrisBrunton3 for taking the time to chat Peter Principle and transitioning from English major to analyst with us. https://t.co/lPmhnzfGt6

Work that came up a lot during our time in #Buffalo was Wastewater Warehouse from @AKrolikowski A very cool project using SMS chatbots to decentralize the process of storm/wastewater data collection + data viz to inform & prevent discharge into #LakeErie https://t.co/4Krvmau6xI

Recos on collective action/ change from our chat w/ @AKrolikowski Tiny Publics: A Theory of Group Action and Culture by @GaryAlanFine The Logic of Collective Action by Mancur Olson, Jr - https://t.co/O3alm6lUog Governing the Commons by Elinor Ostrom -

“Information isn’t power. Informed relationships are power." A treat to speak w/ @AKrolikowski about analysts as navigators and collective action. Not all chats enter terrains of info asymmetry and coordination costs, but glad this one did. #data4good https://t.co/6KNVujiWlH

Had a lot of fun chatting with @DaveMathias for @dataable podcast this week. Covered a lot of ground incl. data superpowers, what we're up to, how it all got started, and what we're trying to achieve. Looking forward to sharing around when the episode comes out in a few weeks!
