The Secret Life of Data - Part 3
summary
Companies build concrete pipelines: 23andMe discovered a gene–curly hair correlation by combining customer surveys with genotype data; consumer wearables (sleep necklaces, Fitbit bands) feed timestamped sleep and location logs that get crowdsourced into behavioral recommendations. Corporations use strict controls — separation of PII and order records, encryption, and access auditing — while analytics favor correlation over causation, so models flag patterns (phone use plus driving = risky behavior) that can be monetized or legally applied, even if the why remains unknown.
