What should big data be used for?

We have become accustomed to big data's analysis and prediction of user behavior. Shopping APPs monitor your input method to attract you to consume; takeaway APPs know what you want to eat better than you; rental information can always find you accurately; The road is also recommended by the APP. If big data already knows you better than you, and all randomness is just what you think, what should you do?

The big data operation of enterprises is a competition for users, and there may be a balance of competition in the same industry (including monopoly companies), but if the operation of the state machine also involves big data, will there be such a balance? So is this more democratic or more dictatorial?

Also, how did they obtain their data, did we actively provide it, or did they passively obtain it? Do we want to protect our own data, how to protect it, and whether it is right or wrong to authorize unlimited clicks for each software installation. Zhou said, how to protect personal privacy? First, be a mortal. The data of mortals has no value, and no one will care about you. Second, don't try active defense. Any active defense is useless. Every time you hit the keyboard, there are countless ways to restore it. But now a mortal's political activities have turned up an empire. What exactly should the data be used for?

Think of the famous saying in elementary school politics textbooks: Science and technology is a double-edged sword.

Brexit quotes

  • Dominic Cummings: [scene cuts between the two offices of Vote Leave and Vote Remain as they write out strategy] We also know that the other side are gonna run a campaign the way that campaigns have been run for pretty much the last 70 years. They're gonna fight from the center, and they're gonna make it about jobs and the economy.

    Andrew Cooper: We focus on the economy and jobs. The message: leaving risks both.

    Craig Oliver: Clinton '92. Best campaign ever. "It's the economy, stupid".

    Andrew Cooper: You define your opponent as the riskier option, and though the change candidate might initially poll well, come election day the nerves kick in. Voters revert back to center. Law of political science - if the status quo are ahead before the campaign begins, which we are, they always win on the day. So...

    Douglas Carswell: So, what's our answer?

    Dominic Cummings: Tzu's "The Art of War". If we fight them on home terrain, they will win. So what we need to do is lead them to the ninth battlefield. The deadly ground where no one expects to find themselves. Outcome? *They* perish.

    Victoria Woodcock: Which means?

    Dominic Cummings: You reverse the proposition. We make *them* the risky option. To stay is to risk losing more of the things we cherish - we're asking voters not to reject the status quo, but to return to it, to independence. How much does it cost us each week to be members of the EU?

    Daniel Hannan: In the region of...

    Dominic Cummings: What's our researcher's name?

    Matthew Elliott: Richard.

    Dominic Cummings: Ricardo, will you get me all the figures up for how much it costs to be members of the EU for a week? Largest one wins.

    Matthew Elliott: Make sure it's verifiable!

  • Dominic Cummings: It's not rocket science, it's simple. There are three types of voter. Those certain to vote to exit, that's one third. Well, they're in the bag, so ignore them. Those certain to vote to stay, that's another third, and we can't touch them so fuck 'em. The last third: "I would like to leave, but I'm worried about what the effect will be to jobs and living standards". *These* are the only people that we need to care about. And trust me, the others will be after exactly the same bunch.

    [cut to Vote Remain offices]

    Craig Oliver: Now, these are who will decide the result. The "Hearts versus Heads" and the "Disengaged Middle". 34% of the electorate.
