You'll never be able to really measure anything, right? Including teachers.

We've learned our lesson with finance because they made a huge goddamn explosion that almost shut down the world. But the thing I realized is that there might never be an explosion on the scale of the financial crisis happening with big data.

The disconnect I was experiencing was that people hated Wall Street, but they loved tech.

There might never be that moment when everyone says, "Oh my God, big data is awful."

I set up a company, an algorithmic auditing company myself. I have no clients.

By construction, the world of big data is siloed and segmented and segregated so that successful people, like myself - technologists, well-educated white people, for the most part - benefit from big data, and it's the people on the other side of the economic spectrum, especially people of color, who suffer from it. They suffer from it individually, at different times, at different moments. They never get a clear explanation of what actually happened to them because all these scores are secret and sometimes they don't even know they're being scored.
