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

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

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!

Melbourne is definitely a cooler city, but there also seem to be a lot more smokers. 😒
@melissa_loh I’m only comparing against Sydney, really.
I forgive you the rain, Melbourne. 😍 #cubano https://t.co/fU3wpNH3jm https://t.co/0bjoAI9qZM
@nickzoic @KenScambler Just wandering down from about 5 tonight, I’d say. I’ll tweet when I get there. 😉
@Doctor_Astro Wait, you’re working for Hyperloop now? I somehow missed that. That’s awesome – congratulations!
@candeira Not the most authentic Cubano, perhaps, especially with the fried egg, but damn it was good.
Can’t wait to get back to Perth next week. Hope to see some of you there! https://t.co/B6MT2KbFNX
@battlepanda_au Oh fantastic! Would be great to have you there.
@battlepanda_au Do you know if they’ll be filming it? I should probably ask my contact at BW.
At Arbory – lurking and trying to find a table! @KenScambler

@katelemayands @JanelleCShane Yep! I’ve been tagged on this one a few times. Lots of geeky computer goodness!
My 2018 resolution to be a better person does not apply when it’s your dear friend showing you pictures of her ex in all his hilarious sad middle-aged man creepiness. (Barnaby Joyce has nothing on this doofus.)
Shhh! Don’t tell the hipster Melburnians there’s a sneaky Sydneysider hiding in plain sight… #tramselfie https://t.co/4zFPczJYBf https://t.co/6gWDrJqb0A
@KenScambler Rumour has it I’m ALREADY RSVPED! 💥😜 (See you there?)
Elapsed time in Melbourne before I thought “I wonder if I’d look good with a nose ring?”: 3 hours and 10 minutes.
@nickzoic I had on a scarf and looked very hip. Blended right in. 😂
@nickzoic @KenScambler Having drinks tomorrow evening at Arbory Floating Bar if you’d like to join!

FIFTEEN functional programming books in this @humble bundle including Programming Scala by @deanwampler (who’s coming to speak at @yow_conf Data)! (Thanks @DohMoose for the tip!) https://t.co/dhs2bjtQaC
@hitsthings Well written and rings true. It seems silly, but it’s part of why I cried watching the new Queer Eye show. Because it’s beautiful seeing men be open with each other.
Oh bloody hell. Good thing I didn’t see this at lunchtime. 😳 https://t.co/BvSmKHvrp8
My first time attending #mhug! Thanks @ConSord for letting me spruik @YOWLambdaJam and @TacticalGrace’s upcoming YOW night! https://t.co/K4zhWVyMEj
Learning about serverless Haskell, a project that came out of a @seekjobs hackathon! #mhug https://t.co/XqQWvGgc5p https://t.co/XOUVSA3VUb
@KenScambler @ConSord @YOWLambdaJam @TacticalGrace @ScalaMelb Yay! Would you like some slides?
@KenScambler Will do once I get back to hotel tonight!
Change made, deployment, and success! 👏 #mhug https://t.co/OraFehfg8v

@Paul_Bone @mamakrestaurant Same – lovely to meet you too! And PLEASE submit “Haskell sucks” for Lambda Jam, if only to indulge my love of a good troll. 😀
@brendanzab @mamakrestaurant OH THAT CAT. See, I recognise that! 😛
@ahuijsen @evanderkoogh I am also in the Post Binge Regret phase due to Excessive Mamak. I blame those Melbourne Haskell people. *clutches stomach*

Honestly, Google, these two situations annoy me every. single. day. Is consistency too much to ask for? Isn’t it *more* work to make different UI patterns for the same functionality in every app? 😭 https://t.co/chmuCgrwKh

HUGE crowd for #wawsydney as @shermozle kicks things off! https://t.co/BPY5gH23Km
Rather depressing start as @shermozle outlines the state of online publishing and journalism, as well as the ways we try to measure engagement. #wawsydney https://t.co/TkKyzBmN0U
Impressive panel for #wawsydney! @FairfaxMedia, @NewsLifeMedia, @newsroomly, and @Oneflare all represented. https://t.co/v2artv8faf
For a non-editorial focused business like @Oneflare, useful content metrics are around organic search engine ranking and conversion from landing pages. #wawsydney
Ahhh, @shermozle just asked about AMP, which is my current bugbear. So many walled gardens: Facebook, AMP, Snapchat stories, Apple Instant stories… I miss the Open Web. 😕 #wawsydney
One of the biggest measurement challenges is when the user comes through digital but the business conversion happens offline (confirming that it actually happened). No easy solutions. #wawsydney
“Dashboards are the Yahoo of metrics and analysis.” Ouch. It was intended as exactly the insult you think. Dashboards are dying, says the panel. #wawsydney 🔥
@autiomaa Don’t worry – someone from the audience is arguing the point now. 🙂
@JSicarii I’ve got a question if there is an opportunity!!
@MoeMKiss I’ve got a question if there’s an opportunity! Simon can’t see me. 😂
@MoeMKiss THANK YOU!!!!
I couldn’t resist the opportunity to ask how these publishers are dealing with “zero UI” interfaces like Google Home. They all seem excited about potential, but how to track is a different story… #wawsydney @WAWSydney https://t.co/59cjtorcqD

@maciejwalkowiak @starbuxman This isn’t a very helpful thing to say. You’re not giving new folks any context for the opinion, just slamming a tool. I know what you’re going for, but please reconsider buying in to contempt culture.

@gfixler NICE!! Good job! I often find those big needless are awkward and make my wrists sore, so be sure to take breaks and stretch.
