data? they have the idea, but they don't have the resources to necessarily make that idea -- bring that idea to fruition. and, so, this is going to mean huge things for innovation as the mayor said, and huge things for our customers. we work with a lot of civic start-ups who are trying to do better things for their community and by combining private data that you see in here with companies, with the public data through the portal, we can actually start to make businesses around the data. >> i think we're at the very, very beginning of this. one of the best parts of the job is i get to hang out with other people who are really trying to do very innovative things and be very creative. i talk about some of the data sets we use. most people still don't know they exist despite great efforts from the city and others. and, you know, a lot of entrepreneurs that we're looking for is the way to get leverage, a way to build an experience or build a product before we have 100,000 users using it. open d

data. again, as a way to celebrate innovation month, not only are we opening up different companies throughout san francisco, but we want to also encourage, examples we're going to be announcing yoyo working with phil ginsberg to provide data where are small parks or where the events are happening. what is the cost? how to get there in the hours that they're operating? a smart phone application for all of our events in recreation and park department, that to me is going to be invaluable to visitors and to our neighborhoods. bronwin who is working with us on data information from neighborhoods in our city, growth trends, that kind of data certainly is going to help a department like city planning who is trying to kind of figure out where the new neighborhoods in our city, what do we do from a planning and zoning effort, prioritizing. is it small businesses now in pier 70 area or do with we go high-rises downtown? what kind of people trends and business trends and constituent trends are happe

data. you have to do things like this, where you get the community together or you have people actually talking about it because the demand side, as we were talking about it, will be there because there is going to be someone there. there have to be people working with it who are getting out there. i think this is what this city is going to be really powerful. in terms of other cities doing as well, chicago is doing some really interesting stuff. scary cool stuff. they're taking 3 in 1 data, pothole request and crime report and matching it up with social media. they're getting this really deep and rich picture of what is going on in the city. and you can do that with data when you think about it creatively. philadelphia as i mentioned, they are really active in open data. and new york, again with 3 in 1 is doing smart analytics. i think that's what you'll see happening as well, government starts to become smarter, make better decisions, better policies. this term algorithmic regulation, whi

and i'm pulling data from multiple data sources. here we have data from the city. we also have data from private data sources that read -- not going to mess with it. there's one of the variables now, the bottom you see there is median household income. we're pulling in all these different data sources, creating a beautiful visualization to tell a story at the neighborv level of how the city is growing. and some of the things you're seeing on the map here are a pipeline of information about both residential permits over the past decade or so, how has the city allocated permits throughout different neighborhoods in the city. and some of the other things you're seeing on the map is the approved businesses, the businesses are currently doing business in the city. one of the things we said once we started visualizing on the map the slow and more rapid growth of residential -- residential property in soma and then in 2011 you just saw obviously a huge residential boom in the downtown area. so, we've just actually -- we're a company in southern california. we just relocat

will the utah data center hold the data of american citizens? >> no, we don't hold data on u.s.take protecting your civil liberties and privacy as the most important thing they do in securing in nation and so when people just oh, they'll have all this stuff at utah data center, that's ballo ballo that's baloney. i'm not going to tell you what we're doing in utah. that would give our adversaries an advantage. we're not going to do that. >> reporter: this is about the possibility that the government's stunning new capacity to collect, store, and an l analyze data will tempt less than noble leaders. >> it could become a totalitarian state quickly. the capacity to do that is being set up. if we get the wrong person in office or in the government, they could make that happen quickly. life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. we balance those three virtues all the time. the question people like me ask the american people is so how much more do you want me to do? >> what can a government computer know? and how can it know it? with the nsa mum, we go to si silicon valley for answers.

we data mine we are teaching the computer how to go through large amounts of data. >> gary angel foundedone of the most experienced players in the data mining game it was recently acquired by ernst and young. >> i'm using a listening tool that collects information on things like at this time. >>> a big part of what angel does deals with scanning the web and analyzing data. not unlike what government agencies try to do. sift through the noise of all of the world's electronic communications and isolate the fragments of troubling data and then connect the dots before a threat materializes. and recent revealations show they are pushing to expand their capacity to do it. >> what do you think would surprise people most about data mining? what don't they know? >> i think how clumsy it is and how much work goes into getting even the simplest conclusions out of the date. i think there is a sense that computers can do far moor than they actually can. >> the biggest challenge isn't collecting and storing the information. it is making sense of it all. >> i picked a selection of terms that a national

into data, but the data that law enforcement holds.particular, data that they were looking at. it struck some people as a lot and some people not a lot when you talk about a few hundred billion people in this country. i think phone records, if you of looking at sort of risk personal privacy, i think phone records in some ways are more of an immediate concern for people who are worried about -- people knowing what they are doing on a day to day basis. part of what i wrote about in ont piece, the discussion this thing tends to begin and end on personal privacy. there is a lot more to it than that. just because my personal privacy is not at risk does not mean there are concerning factors here in terms of how the powerment, the enormous the government has by using this data really well. host: another comment on twitter -- "so is metadata more about both filing than snooping -- more about profiling than snooping?" i think metadata is more about triggers in some ways, knowing what to look for, narrowing in on the data. so if we are suspiciou

data. that's a lot of supply. you need the demand side to prove to the city it's worthwhile and to prove to the public you can build an ecosystem there. we can do things with that whether bottom up activities, gray area or private companies. so, it's a moment of real burst of innovation and the landscape changes as the public and private sides come together. >> i very much agree with everything that was said. i'll add that in addition to the public sector, at the city level for open data disclosures and the private sector i can also speak to how important this is at the federal government level as well as we continue to work with cities across america to get more open data sets released, to the question about the history and we really look to recent examples to see the dura power of open data sets. my favorite examples are weather when weather data was released, weather channel.com and many others, and gps global positioning system. we know the history there was the military infrastructure

this is just metta data. it's not surveillance and it's not accurate to use the word surveillance. >> i think that people can decide whether it's surveillance or not in the same way they can decide for themselves whether it's torture or not. the statutes can define these things but the terms also have ordinary usage. i have a different view of how the statute can be read. i don't think the statute was meant to allow the government to require the production of records on an ongoing basis. if you take grand jury subpoenas as the relevant comparison, i don't think it's typical of a grand jury subpoena to require ongoing production, and if you look at the legislative history of the stat constitute, -- statute there's no hint that any considered the pocket this statute could be used for the purpose it's now being used for. in fact there was this testimony that then-attorney general john ashcroft gave to wrong, way back in 2004 or -- and he was asked about the outer limits of the section 215, and at one point someb

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 standards. the following deadlines are going to be effected. winning within a month the mayor is going to appoint a chief officer to oversee the policy within his or her department. and they will have access to the data. within six months the department should publish a catalog that can be available. within one year the chief data officer shall present a plan to help the board of supervisors and the mayor. those deadlines insure with remain educational to the community so the public is made readily aware. one of the priorities of the united states in office is to improve the efficiency in office. i want to thank all my staff and in a particular to hannah who'

data protection regulations with some top officials also calling for a suspension of the data exchange treaty between washington and the e.u. skeptics suspect it's little more than general election campaigning is peter all over now reports from. 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 all seems well and good especially when you consider 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. have 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 limitation you have to consider that germany was one of the major helpers for the national security agency when they were spying on people around the world in fact the b. and d. the german secret service operated

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 respo

the government has to have a data website -- a data warehouse somewhere.question is where and how are they getting it? if it is through legal channels, they don't seem to have a problem with that. eric, from maryland. thank you for taking my call. i am not sure if your guest is intending to do this, but some of the comments coming across to the american people about this being a data farm and that they are not analysts that are going over the data tends to diminish the actual warranted intrusion into our private lives. for instance, gain some perspective on it. british troops that would enter into peoples homes and seize papers and invade invade people's homes are prior to the revolution. that is one of the things that our founding fathers established the freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. host: i think we have enough to work with. thanks for calling in. any response? guest: let's qualify here. we are talking about the utah data center. the utah data center will not have analysts. it is a data form. that is not to say that we don't have plent

the data reports in tracking. we've made some leaps forward in terms of the collection of data. we now have it in place so the district stations report on line. and that is reported back to them so they see what's taken place. we're to input the data for enforcement so the lieutenants know exactly what is take place or not taking place. and as opposed to a data entry clerk just for that task. the leaders need to know what's going on and they see the types of citations and the locations where the sieksz are being issued. one of the things i want to point out one year to date we're hoping to see a continued decrease in pedestrian injuries. unfortunately, we are at 8 pedestrian facility year to date. we're going to increase our efforts to make sure we don't surpass last year. i mentioned the crossroads and how the department is issuing citations to handheld devises. we are having the devises programmed so there is a pedestrian a bike motorist box when you printout the citation so it shows exactly what is it and the court are excited because the prints are bigger. and they're more e

data mining, those aren't happening.ven mr. snowden hasn't alleged a single thing that's unlawful. he hasn't identified a single task that the government has taken on in the history of this program that there's been an unlawful action. >> is it okay for them to lie to us, james clapper, the director of national intelligence said this when asked about government surveillance. >> does the nsa collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of americans? >> no, sir. >> what are the rules? >> the rules are you tell the truth. and mr. clapper in that case, i've heard his story. story is totally unacceptable. that's not how he should have answered the question. he should have been more careful and probably given the most appropriate answer which is these are classified programs and i can't talk about it in this setting. i'm happy to share it in a setting where it's appropriate. >> don't the bad guys already assume we're doing this? was this really a revelation? >> john, i'm sure they assume a lot of things.

"there needs to be a political response. europe has some strong assets compared to the u.s. but will only be credible if it is industrially viable and has systems and companies, particularly as wireless clouds are concerned, that can compete with those from the u.s. in some ways, data protection does become a competitive business. it could be a vital are given in selling or marketing a european cloud. choose our cloud because we provide stronger detection for your data than a foreign cloud will -- stronger protection for your data than a war in cloud will -- stronger protection

this fusion your senior of public data, of governmental data also show did and mobile data allows users to build the common picture to improve the efficacy of response efforts. one of our partners in oklahoma city direct relief is a nonprofit the donates over $300 million of medicine every year. they use palantir with social data, public data from fina, dhs, cdc, and even google to. >> host: conduct mr. latta, social of the, supply chain and health risk analyses of committees throughout this nation. in the context of restraint was a relief this knowledge -- at federally qualified health center's before storms hit, and less real-time weather data during the storm and donate additional medical supplies where they are needed most in the wake of the storm. another palantir partner is a group of veterans aviation disaster relief. they use palantir to tactically understand the operational environment during disaster response. after hurricane sandy, team rubicon used palantir mobile to cleanup over 1000 structures in the rockaways. fusing surveys collected with palantir mobile on with public 3

that data point, if you want to make it a piece of data, if it is less likely that the fed tapers in september, do you feel better as you sit here to buy stocks? >> i think what you are saying is really the goldilocks environment that has gotten us to the all time highs right now. if the data does not getting better, then the fed continues the qe, there is no tapering on the table and the markets should go higher. if the data gets better, then the markets holding up on its own. >> isn't there a big difference between whoo the private sector is doing and what the public sector is doing in terms of the underlying growth rate? could you make a case a 3% trend, 2, 2.5% in the private side and the public side is what is keeping us held back? >> that's one of the things that's concerned me is we had a step down by about a percentage point in the private sector in the second quarter. not all the data is in yet. i know you need an answer yesterday. i am just saying i am a little circumstance couple sprekt. i think it continues. i want to buy stocks because i think the economy is improving. i

in our model, the data is their data. we do not have the right to give away the data. if someone subpoenas us for the data a, then it's a process. we are a data processor, when you look at some companies, they own the data, we don't. the customer owns a data. >> is that important? if i'm an fbi agent and i say, we need data. you demand a warrant? >> we would say, you have to go talk to the kmr. >> they would want to go -- talk to the customer. >> they would not go after you, the they would go after the server. >> you did well. all right. neil, thank you for being with us. stay right there. technology's landlord, duncan logan here when "press: here" continues. >> uber, spotify and zappos are three of the most intriguing companies. they are cool and got their start at the simple desks inside an organization called rocket space. rocket space is a spiezingly simple concept, it's supplies a start up with every thing it needs. office space, desks, a coffee maker and a receptionist, and it will supply a motivational speaker on a evening if you like. he calls rocket space the

my previous company was a data operator where the entire city of san francisco was the data center and was and continues to be in my facility. this is a smaller facility, taylored cost wise taylored to small internet business company in san francisco. it would be more affordable than those of a larger facility. it's a total of 10,000 square feet. it's not thousands of users, it's like hundreds of servers. >> because you had experience with paul. one of the issues that speakers brought up about the back up diesel system but we have restrictions on how often. how often did you have to use your back up because you must have had service from pg & e too? >> yes. it was a cable for outages due to pole damages which actually transpired a couple of times. this facility has an underground cable and fed by a very close substation that feeds the entire san francisco munis power grid. >> they should have a lot of power. >> this is a good facility from a power reliable perspective. >> thank you, that answers a lot of my questions. and having gone through a facility or a residents that have overhead

this is an indicator, people think mixed data leads to better data.ails really spicing the index up, courtesy of good numbers from two stocks we have been remorsefully behind. reasons, stronger autos, better chemicals, even better than expected coal shipments because of the increase in natural gas makes coal more competitive. i know many of you are skeptical of this space. i have to tell you that yesterday's alpha conference, confab -- i'm not getting real. no enthusiasm. nothing just on the fundamentals. nothing just fundamental. plenty of stocks now being left behind, particularly some in the tech sector, like google tonight, which missed on a very key metric, and microsoft, which i guess had pretty much gotten ahead of itself. these tech numbers as well as some weakness from e-bay, which i believe has bottomed, and intel, which i don't think has, just last night could cast a pall over tomorrow's action. the awful earnings and the fda warning letter for intuitive surgical, that won't help either. remember, it's our job to find the good ones that are

there are a lot of 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,

berlin for dragging its feet on data protection. the new law would apply to all companies operating within the eu, even foreign ones, and it would shield personal information of eu citizens. brussels also wants to scrutinize existing agreements on data exchange with the united states. >> it is a question of citizens rights, a question of the common market, and of whether we europeans can impose our own rules in europe, of whether european law of lies or lawlessness. >> now, it is up to european governments to turn the political momentum into enforced rules. >> we spoke earlier to our dw correspondent in lithuania. i put it to him that merkel once german data protection law to be european standard. how likely is this to happen? >> the european authorities are now trying to do that. german standards should be european standards, said the home affairs minister. now they are trying to get through negotiations with american counterparts, and that could be a problem because americans are not very eager to adapt to european standards, so t

is meta data unlimited to specific individual. >> the type of data is meta data -- >> unlimited to specific individuals because it's the record to everybody. it's the record to every phone call in the united states. can you give me any example where a grand jury subpoena has been used for anything remotely like that. >> these are instances where we've gone to the court under the 215 requirements -- >> you're not answering my question. can you give me any example in the history of the united states where a grand jury subpoena was used for anything remotely resembling all meta data, not to specific phones or specific individuals. >> grand jury speens have a different function than a 215 under the patriot act. >> i understand that. you're not answering my questions. we know they have a different function. . but the statute is says it can only acquire a specific thing if it can be obtained through a grand jury subpoena. >> can you obtain meta data without specific names or tell phones? >> i think it would depend on -- >> is there any instance? history? >> yes, therer where a court could authori
