Learning from @ScottSunderl4nd why humans are better than computers. “Do you feel like everyone in senior management is talking about building an AI model?” YES. #MeasureCamp https://t.co/x4gM80jOYI


IT business analysts, architects, and system designers are rated to have the least chance of being lost to automation. Good to know! #measurecamp https://t.co/QSDqz0vprb


@mmastertheone Lego has pistols?!


@betsybookworm I have a sneaking suspicion I am going to need bifocals soon enough, so I’ve avoided tatting. Wayyyy too eensy for me!


Next session – learning about how @envato does analytics from @plstr. #measurecamp https://t.co/ZpIbHjP5LO


@unixbigot This is fascinating stuff. Some really good advice here I will be sharing back to the @yow_conf team to make our events more inclusive.


@minxdragon https://t.co/9BpzgxfuMy – it was a breakfast Cubano with a fried egg on it. Very good!!


“Are most of your users on desktop?” “We don’t have any IE users; let’s just start with that.” 😂 @plstr #measurecamp


Learning about GDPR from Mike Robins from @snowflake_data. If your website has users in the EU and you collect personal information, you need to know about this. #measurecamp https://t.co/BsFCM7Vp3B https://t.co/bp7mo1Ro78


“De-identified data… The Australian government has had some difficulties with this one.” #measurecamp @snowflake_data https://t.co/5jTntr3lr2


Interesting. GDPR says you can’t tell a user “here’s how we’re going to use your data, and if you’re not cool with that, don’t use the service. ” That’s not a real choice. Need to offer them access but with reduced features/experience. #measurecamp @snowflake_data


“Are there any good example websites that are GDPR ready?” “Nope. Everybody seems to be putting it off as along as possible!” Ouch! 😳 #measurecamp @snowflake_data https://t.co/dZEVjhwyij


Ready to go in the @data_true room! Now I just have to see if anyone actually turns up. 😟 #measurecamp https://t.co/gr91g9ZAGB


@ScottSunderl4nd @MeasureCampMelb I look like I’m doing the robot in that photo. 😂🤖


I swear there were actually like 20+ people in the room! 😂 #measurecamp https://t.co/j9suqus1kF


On the importance and challenge of having good data visualisations – @MoeMKiss and @prischcheung from @theiconicau! #measurecamp https://t.co/qI3TIFZGVq


Great, practical tips for presenting data better. “Ink is for numbers.” Use McKinsey titles – where the insight is the title. 👏 #measurecamp @MoeMKiss @prischcheung https://t.co/p9SiPWMyOL


“I don’t want to be racist against pie charts… but we can’t be friends if you use pie charts.” ❤️😂 #measurecamp @MoeMKiss @prischcheung https://t.co/BVMHfZNBSV

@AndyyHope @envato @plstr Alien tentacle. 👽🦑

Sarah from @datarunsdeep on combining app and website data using R. Looking forward to a beginner intro to R! #measurecamp https://t.co/zrPPEClEi1


Protip: be careful how many variables you use in your Venn diagrams. 😂💡 @datarunsdeep #measurecamp https://t.co/tHFZlqtyYR


Supporting the Sydney data community by coming to see @johannux’s talk a second time! Predictive segmenting of website users for targeted marketing. #measurecamp https://t.co/6EUMMDIABr


RT @ameel: Good to see 31% of speakers at @MeasureCampMelb are women. Much lower than it should be, of course, but slightly higher than exp…


Explaining clustering in 2 dimensions is straightforward. “I don’t know how to draw in 12 dimensions though, so that’s where the computer comes in!” 🤓 @johannux #measurecamp https://t.co/Fv9LKpq2Wu


Word clouds are a great way of visualising the clusters of users that your segmentation produces. #measurecamp @johannux https://t.co/AuMQOtr0eX


@mmastertheone The speaker just recommended that to me too!


RT @shannoncoulter: Reminder that Amazon doesn’t just distribute 36+ NRA-produced original series via Amazon Fire. It also hosts an Infowar…


@evanderkoogh @mattallen I’m already retired. I mean, if I won the lottery tomorrow this is the job I’d be doing, for my own fun and fulfilment. I’m very lucky. 😊


A nice shout out to all the women who spoke today at #measurecamp. From 0% last year to 30%+ this year! #measurecamp https://t.co/VQKo4K85mn

@MeasureCampMelb @shermozle Ahhhh, my bad!
