For updates please take a look at our Meetup page.

Notes

• The next meetup will take place on 9 September, most likely at the same venue as always just with some talks and possibly lighting talks. We still have to do some advertising for that :-)
• Amazon has released a website for the PartiQL language, which aims to enhance SQL with support for semistructured and nested data.
• There is going to be a Rust meetup on 28 August at Lab10!
• The people behing Traefik announced a new Go interpreter called Yaegi.

Mostly not tech-related notes

• Revolut seems to offer transactions at interbank-rates.
• Klarna offers things like down payments, credit checks etc. It’s platform is built on top of Erlang. (How they are dealing with GDPR-requirements for credit rating checks is a different topic…)
• Post.at, Google, and Amazon as large-scale data collectors
  • Talk by Kartharina Nocun about here experience with Amazon
  • Recently, there has been a similar video on HackerNews about Google. @Dorian: Can you perhaps remember its name?
• Influence of large corporations and propaganda in general on the public opinion
  • Do only large players benefit from data analysis?
