Unintentional data

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

We data scientists now have access to tools that allow us to run a large numbers of experiments, and then to slice experimental populations by any combination of dimensions collected. Make experimentation cheap and understand the cost of bad decisions. This leads to the proliferation of post hoc hypotheses. Consider your loss function.
