and we are working with open data and trying to see how we can turn data into information, data into knowledge, and the kind of decision products. >> hi, i'm john, ceo of motion loft. we're trying to understand how people move around cities and provide that data to the public to build new tools for public safety. >> hi, i'm [speaker not understood] with code for america. we're a peace core for geeks. we're trying to bring talent from the private second for and government to innovate. we work with dozens of citieses across the country and next year we should be working with san francisco which is up, great. >> i'm filling in for a second. [speaker not understood]. >> hi, i'm yo yashida for appaliscious. >> we'll try to get a conversation going to talk about typically what you're doing. i'd be interested in hearing each one of you talk a little more about what you think -- it certainly is a term we're hearing a lot today and in the past. we'd love to hear what you think open data is now, sort of how far along are we in terms of actually getting governments to release that data and actua

and it's just data they didn't have before. and i think you can imagine what 5% more people, more customers to a big retailer would be in revenue. i can't tell if they're trying to cut me short or telling me to keep going. [laughter] >> this wasn't even -- this wasn't even part of it. i guess people are just late. so, i get up here. all right. yeah, so, if you go down and in our interface, this is a web app that's available to all our customers, you can see here the busiest day in san francisco is friday. the busiest time, the busiest hour on average is 1:00 to 2:00 p.m.. on september 14th was the busiest day of last month. and the people can line this data up with their sales data or with public transit or anything they're looking at and they'll be able to figure out real quickly if there's a correlation. and if there's more pedestrians, less pedestrians. what? >> [inaudible]. >> i'm sorry? >> [inaudible]. >> so, this is a tool that we're developing based on the data that we're announcing today. you can see them over here a lit

and how do we not step on our own toes and give away our own data and make the company worthless. so, it's tough. it's a definite fine line between the two. today we announced that we're going to give crowding data to the city so you'll know where crowds are in the city and when they occur and where they occur. and that really isn't commercially viable for us. so, something we can provide to the city without any repercussions financially, which is great. we want to do more of those things. i made the decision to release this data about three minutes before a speech that i gave at spur a couple weeks ago. and literally, yeah, i was committed obviously, jay took me up the second i said t we have to go talk now. okay. so, jay walked it down. i think jay is great for partnering with start-ups as much as he does. >> great. who can be the other start-ups, people using the data to make products. you already talked about what you actually made. i'd love to hear more about the experience of working with the city's data like, you know, other things, like services or data points you would act

facebook but if google and facebook actually completely open and being there their data flows. side tracked and accessed without reasonable control by the n.s.a. we have a severe problem and german and you need european data protection authorities have to take measures to know what are the chances of that actually happening because you're talking about big plays big corporations with a lot of lobbying power to you so you think there is a realistic chance of altering that treaty. well that is up certainly to the european commission they have. concluded this treaty and they are now in the process of monitoring and evaluating that members of the european commission have voiced severe doubts that treaty can can stand stay as it is at the moment but that will be decided i think at the end of this year but european and german data protection authorities have to take action now and they obviously they have to deal with applications for authorizations to transfer data across the atlantic and these applications at the moment will not be granted as long as these questions have not

and to analyze it at massive facilities like this nsa datal under construction in utah will allow them to do it. >> there is no human reading going through and looking at your e-mails. it is possible. it is only going to look at things the computer throws out as interesting or important. >> it is the interaction between cold data and live humans where the synergy takes place. if the failure to connect the dots before the boston bombings was a case where the investigators misread the data it was a different story when the investigators had a more specific idea what to look for. they combed through countless photographs and hours of footage not only allowing them to zero in on the bombers but to avoid false leads that can waste valuable time and the turning point came when they released the information on april 18 asking the public to help identify the is discuss spents. the suspects were captured by the next day. they were allegedly planning to go to new york and set off more ex-plowive j., who knows how many more might have died if not tore w

those that were here will recall that was the dot com era and much larger farms and data centers and service providers whatever you want to call them were proposed for the bay view hunters area. they got involved which passed legislation and created a designation for these facilities which became internet service changes and this was the first time it appeared on the code and she also contained additional requirements to make sure they were clean and safe and as quiet as can be. meanwhile, our facility was continuing to operate throughout that time and then most of you are well familiar with, the zoning change and it became umu and the internet would not be permitted. we had a program of legitization and presented it to the zoning administrator last october. the staff reviewed it and found it to be in order. it's important to note that that process includes a 300-foot radius to all neighbors an option to appeal and no one did so the ledgization followed through. that's what brings us here today. the we didn't know really that there was going to be a lot of opposition. i'm not sure th

the president and the dni emphasized the government is collecting medved data, not content. but the suggestion that the content is beyond the reach of the constitution is wrong. for fourth amendment purposes the crucial question is and whether the government is collecting dennett data or content but whether it is invading the reasonable expectations of privacy. and here it clearly is. the recent decision is instructive. in that case a unanimous court held that long-term surveillance of an individual location constituted a search under the fourth amendment. the justice has concluded in different reasons at least five justices viewed the surveillance and french and reasonable expectation of privacy. justice ensured trekking in and vegetables movement over a period of time allows them to generate and quote a precise comprehensive record that reflect the wealth of the detail about her political professional religious and sexual associations. they are taking place under the section 215. the records can reveal personal relationships, metal issues, political and religious organizati

data policy. this ordinance takes from and takes data from president obama's strategy that used technology to improve and make a difference in people's lives. i'm introducing this because we know that the resources by making them useable in the community we can help fuel entrepreneurship. and this will continue to create jobs in san francisco. plastic one thing a new officer b will be responsible for drafting rules and common technical standards such as data being available and that's in conjunction with the city attorney's office. since the city is also are not only for the data they will be on systems so people can assessing access they're on medical records or permanent plagues. the data is intended to transform the individual data for the services in san francisco. it follows a national movement to give residents access to their own data. it establishes technical glz for the data coordinator. this will make the data more assessable. the date will be released and the documents for rp s and licensing requirement. the data will be available in memorandum and other formats using the most update stand

design have differences between the civilian data and the military data that has been part of this data. probably the largest one is the scope of what it included and we are looking at sexual violence, which is attempted and threatened rape and sexual assault. but the military data also includes the non-conceptual sexual touching. those types of things can be included in this. but it explicitly screens for those and we might get more counts from now. i think that is reflected with the data of a third of the incidents that are reported and are part of this and are a report for oral or anal sex. and another third are talking about this. again, there are differences as far as how the survey is conducted and again, there are just differences that can affect the data. the web-based is probably one reason that there is a lower response and they can have a lower response with the telephone service. so i would say it's more of a workplace oriented title and actually the first 30 questions that i would be able to obtain a copy of earlier this week. it is about the workplace and what kind of resp

they do that by using the data we give them to target those ads, and they use the data for other transactionsterms of figuring out what people are interested in and that sort of thing. i don't know if it is being stolen. phones you could argue, i pay for my cell phone, so what right does anyone have to that data? that is an argument on more solid footing than the argument that if i use facebook or twitter or google, you are making an informed consent by knowing you are getting something for free. host: fred is from ohio on our independent line. you are on with nancy scola. caller: i could not help a notice that you seemed to unite peter king and nancy pelosi. it seems to be a general consensus in washington that he is a traitor. understandable because he went to potentially adversarial powers. the people do not necessarily whathat is the sponsor -- is responsible for the washington establishment being bad for the american people. host: you say in your article, which appeared in "the asked month,st" that president obama is open to a conversation about metadata but has not been too helpful in g

and when. this was sold by some of your cable companies. >> we were able to get the data from vendors, ingest ite system and pair that data to the voter file data. >> there is also something creepy about this much data being out there and used in a political campaign. >> you get e-mails or mail sent to your house all the time, you didn't know the person who sent to them, and they didn't know your name. hi, peter, this is barack obama. it may be jarring and freak you out. so is it a difference? or really a concern about invading your life? >> give me an example of a program i might not expect to see a political ad on. >> we aired on "judge judy," all over the place. >> they were running shows on 60 different cable stations and romney was on 15 different cable stations. >> patrick rafinni has been preaching to his political party for years about the power of data. >> i don't think this is a question of beinged ahead and behind, but it's a question of being on two different planets. >> karl rove a fox news contributor and was close to the romney campaign. >> democrats have a big advantage. both sid

and was applied to dr alexander diggs the a burden commissioner for data protection and freedom of information and he things german politicians are moving in the right direction by attempting to change on privacy rules no matter what the actual motives are. under german law and the german constitution there is a fundamental right of informational self-determination of privacy as you call it and data protection commissioners all over the world have for a long time called for an international treaty to have privacy regulations in place to protect individual privacy and data when surfing the internet and crossing borders and now the n.s.a. scandal is just the last tip into the voted to do this problem to make it completely clear that we urgently need an international agreement in this fear but what we're seeing here is really excessive secrecy protecting excessive surveillance and that cannot go on as it has done in the past we need effective control and we need limits to what the intelligence services are allowed to do. excuse manda while germany is engaged to revise gale when it comes to survei

they did recover the voice cockpit and data recorders last night.not damaged, in good enough condition that they believe they will get useful information from the black boxes. the black boxes already rushed to washington, d.c., sent on a red-eye last night. the idea in the next your hours, possibly as late as tomorrow, investigators will start to listen to recorders, analyze the data, and hopefully get closer to figure out what caused the airplane to slam into the edge of the runway yesterday morning, killing at least two people. so far, sending another 49 people, at least 49 people seriously injured. we'll have the news conference back up for you as soon as it starts. we're waiting for them to start at sfo. meantime, reporting live. >> thank you very much, bob. among the people who were hurt in yesterday's crash, the most seriously injured were rushed to san francisco general hospital. it's the city's only level one trauma center. it received 53 patients and this morning, sic people remain in critical condition, including a child. a spokeswoman for

a lot to work with, both the voice and data record are survived the crash as did most of the passengers, the crew and the pilots. officials will try to confirm at what points the pilots knew their aircraft was in trouble. jim? >> wyatt andrews recording tonight from washington. thank you. >> joining us now by skype from rgy tahoe is our safety analyst, captain sully burger. from the initial reports about the crash, what stands out to you? >> this apparently is the first accident involving a boeing triple 7 that involves passenger fatalities. it's obvious the airplane landed short of the run way and began to slide down the runway resulting in a post crash fire. you can see from the video, a debris trail leading up to the airplane from the impact point. >> you have landed yourself at san francisco international any number of times. erething more challenging about landing there than other airports? >> there are several things that make it unique. in fact the faa has classified i as a special airport as well as other airports thank have the mountainous terrain or other challenges. it's surr

this is all she coming here live from moscow hello and welcome to the program germany wants to tighten the screws on the u.n. data protection regulations it comes after an avalanche of criticism and what some see as the government's failure to deal with a scandal which revealed a role in massive u.s. led surveillance but many in germany view the move as a simple attempts to win back political points ahead of september's genuine action piece on the reports now from belin. so two of germany's most senior cabinet members have written to the e.u. counterparts to try and get them to push the united nations to change their current privacy legislation that all seems well and good especially when you come to that the current privacy legislation was written way back in one thousand nine hundred sixty six long before things like mobile phones facebook the internet all of those things that the n.s.a. being apparently looking into now this could be a genuine effort by the by the german ministers to try and help the privacy of the people of the european union or it could be something of a smokescreen and a bit of damage limit

i'm heartened by many of the open data initiatives and open data standards. the white house cto has done a fantastic job pushing new standards to make computer comprehensible formats the norm. one good example i'll offer of this is nonprofit data. today nonprofit data's publicly available, but as a scanned piece of paper that a computer cannot read very well. and it takes hundreds of thousands of man hours to rewrite the data base that exists with information that is supposed to be public data. and so in the new budget proposal is the ability for that to be electronic information and, thus, much, much easier for technological organizations to leverage that data. there are 1.4 million nonprofit organizations in america today, and having the ability to engage them in a disaster or an emergency would have a lot of benefit to those on the ground, and that open data could go a long way towards that engagement. >> thank you. mr. cardenas? any thoughts you might have? >> i'll give you one example of the collaboration and how we're going to be able to help. i don't -

and to look for more data to make sure more districts are included. and today, we have presentations from our director of o correction e i a. she'll be followed by another deputy director and our director of our 311 program and lately the department of youth and family families. we're expecting david shu u chu to come in and we'll hear from other departments. >> just before you combine i want to say thank you and acknowledge your leadership of the other supervisors it's incredible important information we're going to here. i want to acknowledge all the folks who care about this as well, in the audience >> good morning committee members. i'm with the immigrant affairs. thank you very much for this opportunity to share with you our progress with the san francisco assess ordinance perpetrating with me today is my colleague in addition to being our deputy and back up interpreter. i want to recognize our immigrant rights commission who has fought for immigrant rights over 16 years. >> can we show the power point? >> state it out loud. >> may we have the pow

i appreciate that, but isn't it better analyze the data and have data and information before the fact to really assess as much as you can whether or not the regulations are likely to become onerous before you actually implement. in other words, if we want to avoid having onerous regulations from a public policy standpoint, isn't it an argument that it might be better to analyze the data and be sure they're not going to be onerous, and once you do that, begin with implementation as opposed to moving with implementation and then waiting for -- to see if there's a problem and then changing. >> again, with human behavior it hard to predict what's going to happen when you launch, no matter how much data you crunch. over the last three years anywhere from 45 to 55 percent of the families on our list indicate they came from another county. i feel confident that the policies we've laid out an proposed will not be onerous, however, we share the same goal that if something is so -- proves to be so onerous then we would change, but -- sort of like you get to a point where at some point you need

and vandalize those. so it's important to find out to deal with those >> one final question. when we had an nc report can you incorporate some of the data from this process and form that one >> great thank you. >> commissioners if there's nothing further we can move on to item 7 formula retail controls recommendations to the board of supervisors that the issue of formula retail rail be looked to understand the issue. >> good afternoon amy rogers of the planning department staff where we're here at the request of commission president fong and would like to note an error on the first sentence in 2011 i believe when the board asked for revisions and earlier this summer in review of the multiple frldz - we've been looking at this and his request was in june. as the report before you outlines there are currently 7 active proposals that would change the way the city formula - multiple supervisors are looking at the issue and we think it's timely you asked for this presentation. if i were to characterize those the first would be changes to the geography areas. that includes moving the controls such as argue downtown 3 district and supervisor k

data is going into data stores all kinds of things going on so that they can analyze and pick that data and see what they might find on the kind of mass trawling it. exhibition so i think it's pretty outrageous i don't think it would stand up in europe in human rights courts i think people would very quickly see that you cannot just take everybody's data on the basis that some people might be guilty that's effectively putting the whole population under suspicion and that is how you put everyone into feeling that they're watched and put some kind of fear an atmosphere of fear. around everybody has profound consequences for and democracy if people feel that they're under constant surveillance and under constant threat of their private information being abused ok t.j. i think everyone knows security is important but are these programs proportionate to the threat. where we don't really know the threat i mean everyone has their own bias i have a bias as an american living in new york city so from my perspective i have no worry about the government the obama administration or e

data gaps. i was a local elected official and we worked very hard to get schools to collect data on incidents of violence in the school and, frankly, there's a lot of data integrity issues involved. you don't want to be the school that has the highest number of incidents in your district. and so there's a built-in perverse incentive to sweep things under the rug. and so part of the challenge moving forward and i have had many conversations with superintendents and law enforcement officials as well about how we can address this data integrity issue and how a school won't be hoisted by their own petard because they had the courage to collect the data when other schools kind of look the other way. so, again, it's a hard question to answer in ways that are other than anecdote. there have been survey data and things of that nature, but i feel uncomfortable saying unequivocally this is what we know, these are the trends. i like to be evidence based and i'm not sure the evidence allows that. >> roslyn, challenges to you and secretary duncan. >> for the first time you can see data for the first time abo

and get a short stock on the august call. it could be a little bit -- i think it's a trade that makes sense. >> one of the things about this is that being, you have the accelerated data and working for you you have that going for the rest of the summer. the timing of trade like that, i like, because the market sort of goes sideways from here, and then you'll capitalize on that. i wouldn't buy the stock. i mean, i just wouldn't. i tend to look at fundamentals. this is hard to explain, but, you know, the options trade actually fundamental standpoint does make sense. >> you are going to do something like this, have you to do it active managed. the problem with being short amazon all the way up is you have lost five to ten times what you could ever make. i think the stock is actually -- that's the netflix -- the company will make a mistake. it's going to come all unwound in a hurry. they're going to change the business or do the data services thing that you suggested, and then the stock will be often the rails. >> just imagine how successful amazon would be if it had a little stock versus options. want to buy 100 shaurz of amazon -- the calendar offers a big potential pa

and i think we all realize the role of the senses is to serve as a leading source of quality data by the nations people and our economy. the. does this by conducting as we know numerous surveys, sometimes we think it's every 10 years but it's actually every year. those surveys in turn provide lawmakers like us, citizens, businesses with a few of our nation social and demographic makeup. the most important visible survey is of course the one we do every 10 years. that is often described as the largest peacetime mobilization in american history. however, the census bureau also conducts other important service such as the american community survey which provides federal, state and local governments as was the private sector with up-to-date information about population, within a certain geographic area. the collection of these data is important so decision such as how to distribute grant funding, where to build schools, hospitals, retail stores are now made with data that is nearly a decade old. additionally, the census bureau collects data that provides us with their monthly unemployment

>> i think right now, for some of this data, what's bad is good, and what i mean by that, is bad economic data means the fed is less likely to taper, which i don't think they're going to do anyway, until 2014, probably. that's the way the market's reading some of these indicators now, bad economic news is good, because the fed's not going to make too many moves, at least soon, to reduce the amount of qe they're doing every month. >> what's not surprising, is that we're having slow growth, we've known that all along, i think the concern is, how slow is this growth going to be, and in some cases, what if it is negative. would that derail the stock rally that we've been seeing? >> well, suzie, certainly based on our projections, if we saw negative gdp growth, our target would be in question. our earnings growth would be in question, we're expecting modest. 5 to 6% earnings growth, we had been looking for about 2.5% gdp growth last year. i think the market has priced in the slow growth. as i said before, i think the market right now is taking it as a positive that the fed's going to be in her

to see how many cases were prosecuted and they didn't have any data to indicate their work in that area. we contacted and got information from the bike police since they've got stations of bikes in san francisco. the same approach there in terms of theft their treated bilk my other crime they take the reports and try to contact the owner. they have the same limitations as sfpd. both bart and sfpd will either auction or donate their bikes. we have found that san francisco police department they have regular education leaflets and brochures they leave and other material of the most effective way to prevent theft. they have bike racks at most of their stations so pedestrians can leave their bikes and they were reasonably protected and under the surveillance of bart agencies. they have community officers who repeatedly patrol the streets. this is the photo of the day we visited and you can see many of them but it's quite a process to locate a bike in there without identification. the bike theft in the low level of bicycle recovery this was based on our di
