to sharing their data like pictures and files in something like a drop box. if you haven't used drop box it is a cloud provider where instead of having it on a home drive you have it on cloud and you feel safer your files with with this provider. so that pii data, the idea theoretically is called the golden copy. the one first unique copy of that data you protect. and i said that one copy because most people think of data as they go to a site and share something once. and the exchange of my data to use the service free for the next hour seems like a fair transaction. people don't realize that digital information can be copied a zillion times, sold and resold. a piece of your identity, whatever your action is and showing other activities you are doing at the same time. this logic, personal banks say no, you want to operate with me, let's talk and have a transaction one-on-one. now there is organizations like respect network and the non-profit fund and a global idea of trying to get the personal clouds to be something whereby 2015-2016 maybe a million people will pay $25 us dollar

and when that data is made available to us, i have no problem with data brokers. but in the states ahone, it's about a trillion dollar annual industry, and right now as of today -- unless i've missed something in the past couple weeks -- the ftc has sanctioned about ten of these largest data brokers ors and these industries right now today, if i write to, say, an axiom or a different company that that has this datad ask them for a full copy of what they've collected about me, they are not mandated to send that to me. it's the same type of environment that we were in back about 20 years ago before i forget the name of the act, but with the credit card side of things, credit card companies didn't have to give us information about what we've purchased. even if we pay them. so when there's an acolluded sense of all of this data that's being collected about he, about you, about us that we don't have access to about one particular part of the culture, i think it's a very dangerous precedent, and it's something i'm really fighting to have people understand. this is your

when that data is made available to us, i have no problem with data brokers. in the states alone it is about a trillion dollar annual industry in right now, as of today unless i have missed something in the past couple of weeks, the ftc has sanctioned about 10 of these largest data brokers and these industries, why they're being sanction is because right now, today, if i write to axiom or a company that has this data and ask for a full -- full copy of what they have collected, they are not mandated to send that to me. it is the same environment we were back around 20 years ago. but before with the credit card side of think, credit card companies did not have to give information about what we have an purchasing, even if we pay them. the problem is when there is an occluded sense of all this data that is being collected about me, my kids, you, us that we do not have access to but one particular part of the culture, i think it is a very dangerous precedent and it is something i am fighting to have people understand. this is your data. you should get to manage it

using that data it is it is law enforcement f.b.i. and the way they're using this data directly they have ways and means to interrogating. directly to the director mueller testified to this to the senate judiciary committee he said he had access to a technology database which he put together with the o d where he can go in and get e-mails with one query get all past e-mails and all future ones as they come in on a person what he's doing is he's going into the n.s.a. database because the n.s.a. and d o d is responsible for communications that's that's an e-mail ok so they're and they're they've got all these nearest devices around the network collecting all this e-mail so they're going into the base they're creating interrogating all of this material to get criminal activity yeah i mean as i read snowden has said repeatedly this is about the potential for retroactive prosecution kind of building this whole that framework that's exactly what they're doing exactly right we're going to take a break now and we'll be back with the two n.s.a.

whatever it is, the cool thing about using data and a.i.n have this machine that will generate this response and not just a quick website. >> what you are talking about is the desktop web with the banners and display advertising. with the shift to mobile where content and publishers are seeing 50% plus coming in mobile, how does that affect what you do and how does that change, and how do you use data to understand that? >> complexity is our friend of rocket fuel. when our traffic started shifting to mobile or when facebook came online, it's more ways for the robots to serve us and every now and then they get a pat on the head saying, good robot. in the mobile world, our own results in the last earnings call, it is 20% of our earned revenue comes through mobile channels and 30% comes through new channels generally including video and facebook. to us, it all looks the same. it might not be just downloading the app, but using it. you don't want people downloading the app, you want them to use it. if we can measure that use and try to serve as

to a new emergency law being pushed through by the government to allow security agencies to store uses data for you to report. the u.k. prime minister says britain needs these emergency laws that force telecommunications companies to hold rec ords of customers data because back in april the european court of justice scrapped an existing law that already forced companies to do just that on the grounds that it infringed human rights so the british government wants to rush through its own law david cameron says that telecoms problems are just weeks away from deleting customer information ministers say that would have serious consequences for police.

so data matters. we use it in all aspects of our life. ink health is a wonderful example especially for a parent. with he get the routine well baby check-ups, diagnostics and we value this appear based upon data is your child on track for healthy adulthood? parents need that information about their kids. principals, teachers, school board members, they need information about their systems, their schools and their choices so they can make better decisions on behalf of their kids. right now, by not providing them good, solid information in a useful way, we are tying their hands behind their backs. >> thanks to our guest, paige, barmak. >>> we speak to a mom. shocking results. her story next. >> al jazeera america >> this is the very tail section it was burning when we got here >> unbiased reporting... >> the violence has continued >> the violence has continued just a couple of miles from here >> in depth coverage... >> we've got a military escort allowing us to feel a further than everyone else... >> real global perspective >> this was clear

and that's data being tracked and countries around the world are using that data to monitor their citizens. first the digital information that we've freely given over to private companies it helps us do more but do you think this is a case of trading privacy for convenience and is the tradeoff worth it. well is the question we definitely are trading privacy convenience when i was working on my i phone before this interview and i was able to do a lot of things because that phone knew my physical location and that phone is a tracking device it's incredibly convenient yet it tracks me everywhere i go it knows where i live it knows where i work it knows when i go to sleep it knows who i sleep with simply because it knows my location now where are trading off an enormous amount of privacy but we're getting some very powerful features in return so the trade off is in a sense worth it but we have to ensure that it's not being abused so when i look at corporate abuse when i look at government abuse they are around the edges these are still great services and that's why we

this data will help us plan how to protect the astronauts who will explore mars. future missions like mars 2020 rover seeking signs of past life, also will demonstrate new technologies that could help astronauts survive on mars. engineers and scientists around the country are working hard to develop the technologies astronauts will use. this conference is bringing together the best minds to share ideas about the path ahead. it's important to remember that nasa sent humans to the moon by setting a goal that's seen beyond our reach. -- seemed beyond our reach. with mars as our focus, we are building the capability to enable human missions to mars. the challenge is huge. i don't want it fool you. if you don't think so, then please listen up as we talk over these next three days. we love huge challenges. we're making real progress right now as radiation monitor on the curiosity rover records the martian radiation environment. advance entry, descending landing technology needed for landing on mars are ready for entry speed testing. orion is finishing preparation for a

if there is data that's going to be used, we need to make sure we have access to that particular data. this is a bill that was passed almost four decades ago. this is a bill the last time it was addressed i was still wearing saddle bag jeans and platform shoes and my was the clerk will designate and parted down the middle and passed down my ears. they didn't have ipods when we passed it. there is new data and there is no reason that should be withheld from the american people and that's what this bill trires to do. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentlelady from new york. ms. slaughter: mr. speaker, i have no requests for time and i ight inquire of my colleague has further requests? mr. bishop: i have requests. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. bishop: let me yield two minutes -- give him there -- three minutes to the gentleman from montana who has had to live with the endangered species act in the reality in representing the state of montana, the gentleman, mr. daines. the speaker p

using it at all. they're interested in the data they could collect by using drones. it is just one type of data collection mechanism and in many cases, these companies have many ways to get the data but they are doing it from the ground where it is usually overly costly, dangerous, or very time intensive to do so. it could be decreased by doing it on the air. >> let's have some q&a. start over here. >> first, is there any definitive website or publication where all drone people go periodically? for example, if someone wanted to issue an rfp for a certain type of drone. and there is a new drone company every week so they would not know who to send it to so they would post it there. how would the new faa rules be made? would there be proposed rulemaking? what is going to prevent the bozo factor? for example, having a two pound limit on drones to me is kind of dumb because you can get killed by a one pound drone falling out of the sky. what would make sense to me is the harm factor. what is its terminal velocity divided by its hardness? a 20-pound styrofoam drone would d

it combines disparity data sets and allows to us access them very quickly. with a single key stroke you get the effect of a 38-person task force. >> after searching more than 100 million data points, they have the information on one burglary suspect linking him to cell phone numbers, arrest records, known associates and past arrest records. they can even track his past locations based on previous license plates scans. >> if we are searching for him, we don't have to search all of l.a. county. we know where he frequents. >> anybody who is a vehicle owner is in palantir? >> anybody in a public place and has passed a license plate reader will be in our data set. we cannot just go searching for you and anyone else without a reason because we have a lot of data for people who have done nothing. >> for those people who have done nothing, the aclu of southern california believes the lapd's license plate readers may be violating civil liberties. >> a system of license plate readers that is pervasive enough to track the movements of every car in the city. reasonable d

we're also using data that so many of our companies use. the uspto has a lot of data.or the first time, we're able to go over that data, review that data, and see how the examiners reviewed the patents at every phase of the examination. >> there was a time when patents were not seen as such an incredible, obvious challenge. president obama actually mentioning it in the state of the union. that highlighted -- take a listen. >> let's pass a patent reform bill that allows our businesses to stay focused on innovation, not costly and needless litigation. >> it is kind of amazing how relevant this issue is. i wonder if the 20 have in your timeframe of patents needs to change now because innovations happen so quickly. >> that is true. it is occurring quickly. but you have to keep in mind that there are many industries for which a 20-year term is justified and needed. for example, lot of the biotech and pharmaceutical companies are they put hundreds of millions of dollars invested into developing and getting fda approval for new drug. in order to recoup their investment, they

arendt helps create high-resolution computer models of glaciers like this one using data from satellites, airplanes, and deep snow pits like these to develop a clear picture of our future global climate. 95% of alaskan glaciers are melting at an unnatural and unprecedented pace. >> glaciers are really large contributors to changing sea levels. you want to be able to quantify how much water is coming out of these systems every year and then use that information to develop models and predict in the future to help policymakers plan for potential facts of sea level change in the next 50 or 100 years. >> scientists like dr. arendt come here to conduct research and to share their experience with the young-and-upcoming researchers taking part in the program. to collect the ground data that sophisticated high-tech science depends on, students have to cross vast distances through the isolated heart of the icefield. in order to traverse the icefield safely, we train them extensively for the dangers of this rugged field experience. here at camp 17, they learn adventure skiing, safe glacier travel o

clients regularly is that there is a real-time parish ability -- perishability to all kinds of data, and we have to use we have done partnerships with various companies to get weather data that can inform how we make decisions about tractors to farmers. farmers don't buy tractors unless spring comes late, they're not buying that equipment just yet. search results to make decisions for cold and flu, to make decisions on where to sell bathroom tissue. we can see where people are querying cold and flu terms. we go there with our advertising dollars. that is the difference between scale and skill. that data is very perishable and something we need to drive in the moment. >> could you lose this data if privacy restrictions become tighter? >> certainly. for the most part, the industry is self placing itself. we as a part of that industry have very high standards for all of this. >> do you believe in self policing? >> there is self policing in a lot of things. , if they it works industry does not police itself properly the government is going to step in. it is in our best interest financially, but also in the

data analytics like never before. changing the way we fight crime. wax commander sergeant ken showed us how big data analysis is changing the force. >> this is our license plate reader. >> we have three cameras attached to the light bar. >> license plate readers have become common place and they automatically scan every license plate they drive by. >> it goes through sacramento database to check for california vehicle systems to see if it is stolen or if there is a warrant on it for some reason. a $30,000 warrant, a parked car that we just passed right behind us. >> over the course of the day the lament can scan thousands of license plates across the city. at the lament's real-time analysis and critical response division, they are fed into a game changing data mining system called palantir. it can claim the cia as an early investor. >> it is a search system. it combines disparrot data sets. with a single key stroke you get the effect of a 38-person task force. >> after searching over 100 million data points, it displayed an impressive amount of information on one burglary suspect creati

that is, whatever data is being used to list or delist should be made available to the public so they can ascertain if that data is correct. now, the gentleman talked about data that was made up. ok. that's his interpretation. if it is made up, shouldn't we know that? shouldn't we know that that is what the data is being used, to make these decisions, rather than just accepting it? mr. chairman, that is precisely what this bill is all about, is to have transparency on this scientific data. that is really all we're asking about. the argument got shifted, you know, to other things like we're destroying the endangered species act and so forth. nothing could be further from the truth. his amendment, however, does something that i think violates the principle we're trying to do. he wants to exclude certain stuff from us being transparent with it or for the people having transparency to that data. so, mr. chairman, i urge also rejection of the amendment and i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is on the amendment off

we used data collected by metro minder, an app that tracks realtime metro performance and analyzed trains going to largo and new carrollton and any other direct towards vienna and the new weihle avenue station in franconia. comparing morning rush with morning rush presilver two weeks ago our analysis showed blue line passengers waiting longer, an average of 12 minutes or three minutes longer per train toward franconia and an average of nine minutes, one minute longer toward largo new carrollton. metro minder data shows fewer blue line trains per hour. during the silver line rollout an average of 4.8 trains towards franconia compared to 6.4 trains two weeks ago, but the numbers also show as many as 10 additional trains per hour serving the station combining orange, blue and now silver line two weeks ago an average of 18.4 trains per hour compared to the rollout with 28.8 trains per hour. the numbers are not out of sync with what metro told us to expect. i've been monitoring social media throughout this. on twitter they can be really hard on metro, but today they weren't so much and that's

down to a new emergency lol big push through by the government a lot of security agencies to store uses data for up to a year while the boy has got the story. the u.k. prime minister says britain me these emergency laws that force telecommunications companies to hold wreck or words of customers data because back in april the european court of justice scrapped an existing law that already forced companies to do just that on the grounds that it infringed human rights so the british government wants to rush through its own law david cameron says that telecoms firms are just weeks away from deleting customer information ministers say that would have serious consequences for police and counter terror operations sometimes in the dangerous world in which we live we need our security services to listen to someone read the e-mails to identify and disrupt a terrorist plot as prime minister i know examples we're doing this stopped a terrorist attack according to the law mobile phone providers will have to store data on who contacted who under way for twelve months so that means your messages websites y

hardware other people's hardware or hardware we work on with other folks, it does not matter to us. datatting the improving our science. apple is a company focused on design. how worried are you about an apple smart watch if that ever happens? >> if it comes out, i think it will be called the ipod watch? >> why? >> because everyone calls it the iwatch. watches are an awesome platform for getting data and information. we're are looking forward to products like that to come out. >> everybody that has a competing product, when i asked him about the competition, that's what they say but you have to be thinking about it. you must be a little bit concerned. >> we would love to be one of the first apps running on devices like that. you don't see the other companies doing that. i really think it will be about getting the information whether it is from our hardware other people's hardware. there will be quite a few people who don't wear smart watches. there are plenty of people who don't wear anything on the rest because they don't want 10 lines. -- 10 lines. -- tan lines. $65 billion and watches

so we are one of the only western nations that doesn't have a law that allows us to see the data thatmmercial gatherers have. >> so most countries don't let you see the information, intelligence agencies have obviously but commercial data gatherers in most countries, canada, europe, the uk you can go to them and say show me the information and if it is wrong you can correct orr ask for correction but we don't have that here so i tried to find where my data was, identified 200 data records and able to see my file, 13 of them. >> of those 13, were they all accurate? >> no, so that is irritating. of the 13, there were probably five or six that were very accurate, there were addresses of everywhere i lived and even one of them had the number on my dorm room in college, which i had forgotten, and every phone number, my relatives and all sort of things, they were very accurate. >> and another category, though, of people who basically tagged me because i live in harlem, in habit as a low-income single mother with very low education levels and that is not true. >> and is this data being prote

go through facebook's user agreement, all seven pages of initial fine print, then search the data use policy section at the bottom, which takes you to six subsections, one of which is titled, information we receive and how we use it. you look in the fine print of that section, you'll find this nugget about how your info is used, quote, for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research and service improvement. so this is legal? yes, as long as facebook keeps their findings internal. but since they decided to publish their work, facebook needs to get your informed consent as defined by the american psychological association which would warn you of potential risks, discomfort or adverse effects. or don't they have to do that? >> it's still considered research. but there's no requirement that i get consent. the data is collected for other purposes. it wouldn't make sense to say, we already have this data. you don't have to go through all that. >> in essence, facebook has found a kind of loophole because they've already collected the data used for the rep

is simply apply all users will take on a pejorative connotation have agreed to the data use policy which reads in part, user data may be used for testing and research. this is hardly the first time privacy advocates have complained about the intrusion of their users into 2007 it came under fire for watching the ad initiative to track what users purchased on the web to turn this into ads that pop up on the news feed in 2009 is settled with the ftc overcharges better change privacy settings about warnings toeshoes hours and last year outrage over the amount of data and that facebook turned over to the nsa. the larger question is why is there so much apathetic acceptance of a powerful corporation? why are there no competitors with technological and social power our users behaving as the source did in the 12th century? facebook has over 1.2 billion active users of a catholic church has been remembers in china barely has more people but technology and social power gives its dominance to render individuals we users but their virtual 20 for century analog and worse the serbs seem content. we wi
