Introduction: DataGotham: The Empire State of Data Posted: August 22, 2012 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog , projects | 2 Comments » I’m extremely excited about DataGotham , a conference that I’m co-hosting with friends and fellow New York data nerds Drew , John , and Mike . DataGotham is a celebration of the NYC data community, and will bring together professionals from all industries in New York that are built around data, from finance to fashion and from startups to the Fortune 500 and government. The event is September 13th – 14th at NYU, with tutorials and The Great Data Extravaganza Show (with cocktails!) at the Tribeca Rooftop Thursday evening, and a single track conference Friday.

Introduction: DataGotham 2013 is coming! Posted: August 12, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog | Tags: datagotham , nyc | Leave a comment » Registration is open for DataGotham 2013 , our second annual New York data community conference, September 12th and 13th. The core of the conference is a series of brilliant data practitioners telling the stories about what they work on. The content is technically-oriented but not all deeply technical, and we really welcome anyone curious about how New York companies and institutions are pushing the boundaries on data to attend. We have two goals for the conference. The primary goal is to connect people in the greater New York data community who are working on interesting things. If our community is strong and supportive, we will all do better work. Our second goal is to highlight the amazing working happening here, so that people near and far will realize that New York is the best place in the world to do data science.

Introduction: Why I love New York City Posted: August 19, 2012 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog | 16 Comments » New York is infinite. A human can only explore a place at a particular speed. The rate of change in New York exceeds the rate at which a person can possibly experience the city, and so it is impossible to run out of city to experience. New York is a neighborhood. At the same time, New York is a mosaic of wonderful little neighborhoods. What many visitors miss and all residents know is that you rarely have to walk more than a few blocks from home for any of life’s essentials, and enough people do the same that you find yourself saying hello. New York is chaotic. You are never the weirdest thing you see. The city will give you things to think about, and more. It is never boring, and you cannot take it for granted. New York is opportunity. Everyone comes through New York, eventually. Whatever food, material goods, or unexpcted experiences y

Introduction: Using Twitter’s Lead-Gen Card to Recruit Beta Testers Posted: December 18, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog | Tags: email , hack , twitter | 12 Comments » It turns out that it’s pretty easy to co-opt Twitter’s Lead Generation card for anything where you want to gather a bunch of e-mail addresses from your Twitter community. I was looking for people willing to alpha test a little side project of mine, and it worked great and didn’t cost anything. The tweet itself: Love tech discussion but looking for a better community? Help me beta test a side project! https://t.co/H3DYjbCy19 — Hilary Mason (@hmason) December 12, 2013 I created it pretty easily: First, go to ads.twitter.com , log in, and go to “creatives”, then “cards”. Click “Create Lead Generation Card”. It’s a big blue button. You can include a title and a short description. Curiously, you can also include a 600px by 150px image. This seems like an opportunity to

Introduction: Startups: Why to Share Data with Academics Posted: January 28, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog | 5 Comments » Last week I wrote a bit about how to share data with academics . This is the complimentary piece, on why you should invest the time and energy in sharing your data with the academic community. As I was talking to people about this topic it became clear that there are really two different questions people ask. First, why do this at all? And second, what do I tell my boss? Let’s start with the second one. This is what you should tell your boss: Academic research based on our work is a great press opportunity and demonstrates that credible people outside of our company find our work interesting. Having researchers work on our data is an easy way to access highly educated brainpower, for free, that in no way competes with us. Who knows what interesting stuff they’ll come up with? Personal relationships with university faculty ar

Introduction: Need actual random numbers? Meet the NIST randomness beacon. Posted: September 30, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: projects | Tags: beacon , python , random , randomness , randomnumbers | 5 Comments » I wrote a python module that wraps that NIST Randomness Beacon , making it simple to get truly random numbers in python. It’s easy to use: b = Beacon() print b.last_record() print b.previous_record() #and so on There’s also a handy generator for getting a set of n random numbers. (One of the best gifts I ever got was a copy of 1,000,000 Random Numbers , and I’ve been intrigued ever since.) Please note that this the randomness beacon is not intended to be a source of cryptographic keys — indeed, it’s a public set of numbers, so I wouldn’t recommend doing anything that could be compromised by someone else having the access to the exact same set of numbers . Rather, this is interesting precisely for the scientific opportunities that

Introduction: My Head is Open Source! Posted: June 22, 2011 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog | Tags: 3d , makerbot , opensource | 8 Comments » Last night I visited friends at Makerbot , where artist-in-residence Jonathan Monaghan scanned my head with a high-resolution laser scanner. The model is available on Thingiverse and can be printed on your friendly neighborhood makerbot or other 3d printer. There are lots of other awesome models of people and things to play with, including Stephen Colbert’s head . I look forward to the emergence of plastic clone head armies! Edit: Please note: thanks for asking, but brains are not included.
