Hey! I built Audyem, a data/engagement SaaS (15M users, 200K ARR). Now Technical Director at Jung von Matt TECH, writing PhD on data work.

@JohannaSebauer @dumontverlag Toll, Johanna!

A crude theory about tech I have is that the hard tech is shifting from the “app layer” into the “SaaS/infra layer” and that being good at tech in the top layer is going to be much less of an advantage since the bottom layer sells to everyone

[Thomas H. Ptacek @tqbf]

I’m sorry, I simply cannot be cynical about a technology that can accomplish this.

Data facts: Against the implications of the term „raw data”, a pure and unadulterated form of data never exists.

[Paul Solbach @paulsolbach]

@halfbyte Absolutely, from an engineering perspective, "raw data" makes sense and carries a clear shared meaning! Sociologists would argue it's also the result of agency, nudging, social constructs and so forth. Something to keep in mind, I guess.

@spreeblick @Philip_Meinhold "Wer hat Burak erschossen" war auch schon klasse gemacht. Meinhold hat's einfach drauf.

@datenwolf Ah, interesting. It's <USB3 and exhibits noise in idle. Not suited for IEMs. But with the right headphones and during playback, I don't hear a thing.

Super happy I made the switch from Spotify to Apple Music! Lossless and 96/24+ feels like falling in love with music all over again.

2nd edition of The Data Revolution just delivered. It's had a complete overhaul - 2 chapters deleted, 10 added (on critical data studies, dataveillance, data capitalism, governance, security, ethics, justice & activism, civil society), rest extensively revised. Now 50% longer.
