SILENT CITY

If you haven't seen this video, you must view it. It is slightly depressing, but also a beautiful representation of our incredible and resilient . We live in an amazing city and although right now we aren't able to experience all the things has to offer, we have the opportunity to stand united and do what it takes to get each other through the
crisis better and stronger than before.

The outbreak of COVID-19 leaves the city of Chicago in a state of isolation. Our busy streets are left empty during this time of uncertainty. Filmed and edit...

03/24/2020

A little humor to begin your day. We hope you all are staying safe and well. We will come out of this storm stronger, more united, and better than before.

Unique Illinois privacy law leads to $550M Facebook deal

"Although the buying and selling of consumer data has become a multi-billion-dollar industry, Illinois’ law — the Biometric Information Privacy Act — predates even Facebook’s iconic “like” feature and was a reaction to a single company’s flop.

Illinois is one of three states that have laws governing the use of biometric data. But the other two, Texas and Washington, don’t permit individual lawsuits, instead delegating enforcement to their attorneys general."

wgntv.com CHICAGO — Adam Pezen, Carlo Licata and Nimesh Patel are among millions of people who have been tagged in Facebook photos at some point in the past decade, sometimes at the suggestion of an automated tagging feature powered by facial recognition technology. It was their Illinois addresses, though, ...

Happy February! We have a great book recommendation for you.

Everybody Lies by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz

"In this groundbreaking work, Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, a Harvard-trained economist, former Google data scientist, and New York Times writer, argues that much of what we thought about people has been dead wrong. The reason? People lie, to friends, lovers, doctors, surveys—and themselves.

However, we no longer need to rely on what people tell us. New data from the internet—the traces of information that billions of people leave on Google, social media, dating, and even po*******hy sites—finally reveals the truth. By analyzing this digital goldmine, we can now learn what people really think, what they really want, and what they really do. Sometimes the new data will make you laugh out loud. Sometimes the new data will shock you. Sometimes the new data will deeply disturb you. But, always, this new data will make you think."

Let’s Change the World

We started as a little group called Chicago Women in Big Data in 2016. Now we’re a 1,500+ member organization called TecHive!

We started because there is a lack of women in all technology fields, and the women in the fields aren’t fully represented in the leadership roles and on conference stages.

All genders and backgrounds want inclusive diversity in technology. From data science to sales to management, every industry and job is a “data” and “technology” job. And everyone wants more women involved.

So how do we do this?
