"Machine learning sometimes produces solutions that are better than the ones that we can design ourselves."

We're so glad Spencer Greenberg (@SpencrGreenberg) was able to explain why machine learning is important at the Moving Forward Conference in NYC. #MovingForwardNYC

Thanks, @eol212 & @AlleyWatch! Couldn't agree more about @DHernonBellLabs. We're so glad he kicked off @MovingForwardNY with his keynote! I can't wait to see what's unlocked after more teams apply the Theory of Adjacent Possible as Domhnaill described! #movingforwardnyc https://t.co/wdpW5KQmn1

#Diversity includes #disability - an area where big #tech has made improvements but can do more! They have $ and existing/potential user-base. Hiring internal advocates yes AND making sure teams ship code w higher degree of accessibility, earlier in life cycle. #MovingForwardNYC

Quote of the day on panel of female startups: “What can men do to support women entrepreneurs? Answer: “Just trust us! We’ll get it done.” #movingforwardnyc

One more terrifying but critical point from Felix Krause: when developers use third-party libraries and SDKs, they may be building attack vectors into their apps. Trusting an app means trusting not just the developer but all of an app's dependencies #MovingForwardNYC

[Moving Forward @MovingForwardNY]

@KrauseFx is dropping some major security knowledge on us! https://t.co/7qJYJVg0Wg

Next up in the security and privacy horror show: fake prompts to log into the App Store that are "pixel perfect". Felix Krause is on point about the risks we take when we're not on guard @MovingForwardNYC https://t.co/6vLuA2OQVc

When you grant access to your camera roll even for one profile photo upload, apps can access enough metadata to draw a nice little map of your daily routines. Important reminder from Felix Krause #MovingForwardNYC
