Everyone talks about time being money, but they often forget that money can buy you time. Read why I bought a sabbatical instead of a fancy car. link.medium.com/zimO2BsSIqb

I’ll be speaking about #dataprivacy in the world of Kafka at the #kafkasummit tomorrow. The session will be recorded, so let me know if you’re interested!

Turn off your public sharing of transactions and messages on #Venmo! It's on by default - terrible privacy design. theguardian.com/world/2018/jul…

Chris Wylie made some great points at our event two weeks ago, well worth a watch

Very Interesting talk from @JeniT. Data ownership could make you money, but it may also mean that privacy becomes a luxury for the rich, while everyone else “sells” their data for services like FB and Google. If you’re not paying, you are the product.

We should be scared about who handles our data. @chrisinsilico is right, we won't get many chances to learn this lesson. #InConfidence Once your data is out there it cannot be recalled. Your data lineage is so important. blog.solidatus.com/i-agree-to-you…

I bet this is getting a lot more traffic than they would have expected thanks to Cambridge Analytica. Good to see people caring a bit more about #dataprivacy. my.sociabble.com/H1bQz4L1
