Oliver, I just had an interesting chat with Pat Brans about #datagovernance frameworks. Maybe we could follow up at our neighborhood Busboys over coffee? (I’m a TkPker also!) @ojwise @BransPat

Those of us who work in #DataGovernance, #dataengineering, #DataScience, #infosecurity are horrified re: Elon. I wanted a chance to say thank you & goodby to my tweeps (in case this particular tone-from-the-top is lethal) and to thank E for demonstrating the value of our work.

@AJAlgmin Thanks so much for including me in your panel. Fun talking about cultures of success (even more fun sharing disasters!)

@mjdramstead @twillierod @StephenSillett @ineshipolito @anjalibhat92 @dimitrisbolis @leoschilbach @sandervdc @ConstantAxel I am tweeting from my own perspective, not that of the World Bank Group. That said, if you're working with anyone within my org, or would like to, I'd love to be looped in. BTW, is there a term for "tearing a hole" in a Markov Blanket to see beyond? What this feels like :-)

@mjdramstead @twillierod @StephenSillett @ineshipolito @anjalibhat92 @dimitrisbolis @leoschilbach @sandervdc @ConstantAxel ... e.g., what is similar/different about a white blood cell within my body, one of the teenagers being trained in my friend's program, the caseworker looking for a refugee, and me trying to mediate between IT and business teams collecting data used to run an international org?

The concept of Markov Blankets is so helpful. Can you point me to anyone who is doing work in this area? ...

@mjdramstead @twillierod @StephenSillett @ineshipolito @anjalibhat92 @dimitrisbolis @leoschilbach @sandervdc @ConstantAxel My "brain has been bleeding" this afternoon after reading 2 year old Wired article and finding this thread. My specialty (I'm not an academic) is Data Governance: specifically, the human aspect of how individual people and organizations build systems and teams and projects...

Is anyone out there thinking about Markov Blankets in the context of #DataManagement, #DataGovernance, #Analytics, and/or Human Communications? Ping me!!!

"Markov Blankets in the Brain" I am quite excited to share our new preprint with @ineshipolito, Laura Convertino, @anjalibhat92, Thomas Parr, and Karl Friston! We explore recursively nested Markov blankets as an architecture for the dynamics of the brain

World’s greatest hypothesis: If you can’t move, you can’t win. It doesn’t matter if you have the world’s greatest #data behind your decisions if you don’t have the agility to act before your competitors. Timing and agility are gamechangers. Add in endurance, too. Think pronghorn.

Interesting bill in US Senate for SEC to require "#data operators" (those holding/aggregating/monetizing #consumer data) to assess and expose the economic value of their data. Early steps toward accounting principles for data. #infonomics #OOW19

Hey Rob, I just saw this. You nailed it! #DataGovernance as standalone episodes that resolve in 22 minutes = jumping the shark.

Vendor provided a #HotFix that wasn’t; it crashed us. Now debating whether to label it a #HotBreak or a #HotMess. Thoughts? @MylesSuer @datachick
