Multiple Sources of Truth: Decentralization and the Data Mesh with Zhamak Dehghani, Creator of the Data Mesh
Data Radicals
09/28/22 • 37 min
With the data space more complex than ever, many people throw their hands in the air, and use solutions that fix many (but not all) of their problems. Today’s guest saw that complexity, and leaned into it.
Zhamak Dehghani is the creator of the data mesh. Where others saw chaos, she saw an opportunity. Zhamak dives into decentralization, all things data mesh, how data architecture can empower your workers, and much more.
--------
“Seeing the real world problems made me curious about the data space—scratching the surface and seeing the discord between the reality of the complex world we're living in with data. The solutions weren't up to the task for dealing with that complexity, so it got me to look further for a solution.” — Zhamak Dehghani

While analysts in other fields face an ocean of data, those in social justice often face a desert. After all, those who abuse their power take care to conceal their crimes. How can data scientists hold the guilty accountable?
Today's guest has used data to uncover hidden human rights violations and uphold social justice. Tarak Shah is a Data Scientist at the Human Rights Data Analysis Group (HRDAG), a RAFTO award-winning non-profit. In this episode, he reveals how his work has exposed the crimes of violent dictators and police – delivering justice to the violated and a chance to heal the communities affected.

In the era of “fake news” how do you know what to trust? Today’s guest, Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, has found the last dependable source of truth: Google. Armed with Google trends data, Seth illuminates hidden truths about racism, politics, and sexuality in our world today.
In today’s interview, Seth dives into his latest book Don’t Trust Your Gut: Using Data to Get What You Really Want in Life. He shares interesting insights he gathered along the way and how unfortunately, lying and data sometimes go hand-in-hand.
--------
“Google trends is so powerful because it gives you an incentive to get the information you need. And PornHub, similarly, gives you an incentive to get the information you need. So even in an anonymous survey, there's no incentive for people to tell the truth.” — Seth Stephens-Davidowitz
