because you can't just open up the 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, whic

justice is just different in the big data age than the small data age. the big data age requires us to enact safeguards for human free will as much as we currently protect procedure status. government must never hold an individual responsible for what they are only predicted to do. third, most big data analysis i going into the future's too complex for the individuals affected to comprehend. if we want to protect privacy in the big data age, we need help, professional help. much like privacy offers us aid in ensuring privacy measures are in place, we envision a new path of experts, call them ailing rite ms -- algorithms if you want, big data, lead viewers of big data predictionment we see them take a vow of impartiality, of confidentiality, and of professionalism like civic engineers or civil engineers or doctors do. of course, big data requires more than these individual right safe fards to fulfill amazing potential. for instance, we may need to ensure data is not held by an ever smaller number of big data holders. much like previous generations rose to

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 data is the key way to do that. you can start out with this experience, very lively and robust with very few users. and then when the first users come in, there is actually something for them to do and see. and i think that you'll start to see as the data sets get more robust and a little bit better and hopefully as we get to improve them ourselves and put them back into the public domain, the innovation that comes off with them is just going to grow exponentially. >> this seems like a really important moment. the world of civic innovation until now has really been focused on sort of open public data and the private data world has been separate. the fact that the city realizes that it is private data that adds to that and

try all over again to collect the data. it worked reasonably well and the small data. it's an art fact of the small. we can use be big data to use high pot cyst and test it . take a example of google. when they try to find out 50 million which were the best to predict the spread of the flu. they had no clue which of the 50 million to pick. they would have to pick the first every time sample e again. it's crazy. and what is the exact combination? that's crazy to do that. what you want to do is have a mained by which you can create a way of producing hypothesis and the way we're using big data analysis not just to tell us whether we are right or wrong if you help us come up with the hypothesis. they can check them at the same time. they have a new strategy coming up. >> yeah. what they are doing is take the 50 million most common search terms and essentially try each one to see for the proof of the model. when they find one that is good with the model they try out. elephant or sniffles? >> nope. in the top 100 terms was the term high school basketball. it's played in the

center hold the data of american citizens? we don't hold data on u.s. citizens,he people there at nsa. they take protecting your civil liberties and privacy as the most important thing that they do in securing this nation. and so when people just throw out, oh, they are going to have all of this stuff at utah data center that's bologna. that's ludicrous. i am not going to come out and say here's what we are doing at utah. that would be ridiculous, too, because it would give our adversaries a tremendous advantage. we are not going to do that. >> benny says alexander stations missed the point. this is not about the character of his former nsa colleagues it's about the possibility that the government's stunning new capacity to collect, store and analyze data will test less than normal leaders if not now, than in the future. >> really a turnkey situation where it could be turned quickly and become a totalitarian state pretty quickly. the capacities to do that is being set up. if we get the wrong person in office or in government,

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 relocate

at the same time pair that data to the voter file data. >> there's also a lot of people find this creepy in a political campaign. >> at the end of the day, you get e-mails and mail sent to your house all the time that you didn't know the person who sends them to you and they knew your name. >> i could say hi peter, this is barack obama. that might be jarring and it would freak you out. is it just different or is it really a concern about your life. >> give me an example of a program that i didn't expect -- >> we've aired stuff on judge judy and all over the place. >> did you have a way of testing whether or not the optimizer was working? >> if you're defining success like we won the election. if we define success how did the optimizer specifically do it, the only thing i can look at is we got more impressions, we had larger audience and paid less for it. that was because we were willing to buy things in like untraditional places. >> at one point during the campaign they were running shows on 60 different cable stations whereas the romney campaign was running them on 15 different cable st

the source of the data has to verify the data. they also have to be able to give permission for other departments to use that data. the analy belongs at the departmental level. what we do is that once the police department says okay, share the aggregate data, that is when we connect the two so the system can show the reports of the department of women. we don't own the data. the data resides with the department that originated it. >> thank you. >> we appreciate your efforts putting that together so that groups can see trends and recognize issues that we able to deal with. our next line item is a report of the san francisco police department regarding language access. and some of the concerns that were expressed by the assistant district attorney jean roland about issues regarding interpretation. we have ms. sandra marion, from occ, to talk about language access. ms. marion? >> good evening. commissioners, director - members of the public and command staff and police officers. i'm excited to be here and have the opportunity to talk

wiz skooe has prepared the data base for the input data, not just the numerical data but the comments as well and we are gathering that and will develop a report. >> any is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> line item 4. >> line item 4, adjournment. >> before we adjourn tonight we had a pretty substantial hearing. we heard about civilians, we honored a 35 year veterans of the san francisco police department from the police officers association. we heard a report regarding mental health associations and we heard from a psychiatrist about what we are seeing out here in the street, we heard about a crisis intervention training how it's gone forward, we had reports from a victim of sexual assault who came forward who was courageous tonight. suffice it to say, this is a pretty powerful commission. i would like to an adjourn and he's probably going to be angry but in honor of the officer. do i have an motion? >> so moved. second? >> aye. all in favor say, "aye". aye. >> c transit take stone ridge 88. we are at mount davidson and it has the highest

versus the data that you now have on the current top of slab on the ground floor, are they the same data? >> yes. >> okay. thank you. >> mr. barclay? i think this has already been made clear but to clarify for the record. i want to thank scott san chez in the planning department for agreeing to reevaluate. that's all i have. thank you. >> first i would like to clarify the address. originally this was 132nd avenue, it became el camino del mar not by voice. the board of supervisors decided that every single property with frontage on el camino del mar shall use el camino del mar as the address. subsequent ly the address changed. it's not our choice. i think when it comes to the height limit, they are a lot of data in the evaluation in the record of the planning department sections, drawings that exist to support the department's decision that it's an accurate building that is within the height limit. so i don't have any objection to work with the department to go through all of those and present a very detail analysis to this board. >> thank you. >> are you finished? >> yes. >> all righ

data mining? what don't they know? >> how much work goes into getting the inclusion of the data. they can do far more than they actually can. >> the biggest challenge isn't collecting and storing the information it's making sense of it all. >> this is a selection of terms that national security might be interested in. seems like radioactive or bridges or stations or airports. here is the tricky part. if you miss stuff we don't know it. mourned if you turn up lots and lots of things none of them are people lose confidence. >> people look at the aeld cry wolf situation, right? >> even big brother faces road blocks. the data center will likely have the ability to do it. >> that being said people go through the e-mail. it is impossible. the computer throws out it is interesting or important. >> you think people have said in the post 9-11 age they are going to trust the government to do what is right than additional data? >> would any ch of us -- along h it being better we have to introduce a whole set of risks. >> growing up in an age where all of the stupid things you can do can live

and it is also at the 2013 data breakers. we've been working in close collaboration with the city agencies, state and federal authorities to make sure everyone is safe. but classic safety is a collective thing if you see something suspicious say something to any officer >> i was just going to ask deputy chief if there's any specific planning for the america's cup that stretches for several months as well if you could talk about this. >> see america's cup planning has been going on for several years. just that morning there was a large briefing and where we have specially assigned people that have been working that events from the police department. the planning that's going into that event is anymore comprehensive then any large font in is no >> it's been record there's a ban on back packs could you talk about that. >> that ban, of course, is not on all backpacks. the race organizer plans on banning large back packs around 11 inches by 8 or something inches. we don't want big back packs there to search >> it there a way to tel

to back it up. >> do we know where the source of the data is? >> yes. the source is [inaudible]. >> okay. do you have the timeframe of that data though? >> it says on the document 2012. that's all it says. >> okay. well, thank you very much. i would luke like to thank the members of the department who did a tremendous amount of work on this item and we went back and forth in budget committee on this issue. there are a few questions that came out of this. i think that supervisor avalos discussing now was [inaudible] in the contract or also having combination of a mag and gross revenues, whichever's higher. i've had [inaudible] i ask our budget analyst to do a lot of work to look at what our other airports are doing and especially [inaudible] in san francisco and it's absolutely transparticipant that this is absolutely out of the ordinary to have this [inaudible] guarantee in there. but i do believe that [inaudible] o this is what's going to extract the highest revenue for san francisco. we do get 15 percent of this revenue into our general fund, b

first and more importantly, we are talking about the problem of missing child data. the unspoken dirty secret, if you like, half of all the clinical trials, from her best possible estimate have not been published. so this has a huge impact on the information that we used to make informed decisions as doctors and patients about which treatment is best. this is a phrase used by young hipsters. but a very long time ago in the dawn of greediness, these are magazines that you would have for the punk scene or punk music, music arts and fashion. this is the founding for phase one clinical trial participants. first clinical trials, when you develop a new molecule, you first of all trial it in maybe six healthy young men to make sure that nothing horrible happens to them. they are often -- they are often volunteers with low wages. so i think that it is fantastic because doctors like to think of this stuff as being very precise and clinical. but there is a real practical culture for the stuff as well. with guinea pig zero, they talk about the reports, they talk about uniting as

thank you so much for your efforts. >> thank you. >> commissioner turman: the fiscal year data on the mock-up goes back to 2010. does your data go back further than that? >> it goes back further than that. there is data going further back. >> within your portal? >> the data does exist; we just did not show it in this report. >> commissioner turman asked the question but i want to be clear that the data goes back further than what is indicated on the report. i also want to command and thank the team that is putting this together, the governance council, but certainly this is something to be very clear that has been in the making for over a decade. this really started with the task force, which is now in oversight panel as we have mentioned previously. there is a teamwork and resources to make sure we have coordinated data that is appropriate for each department so that we can again have not only a birdseye view but it a ground view. we have come a long way. i waited a long time. as a member of this commission but also many of the folks introduced earlier who have been working on someth

that's what chris dos does in addition to maintaining the data base. the project that chris started in 2012 was to develop an auto prompt calendaring system. unlike the project where chris is working with an outside developer, the auto prompt calendaring system is where chris is working on his own. he maintained and enhanced the data bases and websites and other technology equipment. our clerical unit, they processed the 740 complaints and 799 closures and they set data letters and also responded to documents which were request from the city attorneys office. they involved 1200 officers. it's a labor intensive job that has to be done with care to ensure that over production does not take place. last year the cost for were down considerably for retrieval and storage. it comes out of the occ budget and prevents us from doing other things we might wish to do, but it was down last year considerably. how did we do in 2012? we closed 2012 with the lowest number of pending cases in 20 years, we met our target, we increased the number of days to close cases, we

i was in the school side council and talking about the data. just for everyone that's here tonight my people the samoan the pacific islander or the lowest terms of achievement. you've advocated so long conspires and you. i was specifically hired because of that situation the needs for a bilingual. some of other colleagues can re but i was hired because of that. and my certain is how can you consider to layoff the last samoan of this tribe. we were told to serve the justice for all students. and gives me a question what do you weigh in terms of the needs of the students. but if the needs of the samoan is the lowest it's got nothing to do with that need or you're going to keep that particular person that can meet that need. you can't proof it by killing the chicken that lays the golden aid and i'm here to bring it to your consideration. consider the need of the deduct school districts. i'm very, very proud of my success in my school i reach the minority that can't be reached. here in the school district i've gained more african-american parents th

>> i think it is all about the data. and i think the chairman was very clear on that, when they tried to pin him down, well, would this be before or after september? it depends on the data. and that's what it should be. it should be on how is the economy doing and where is it going. there's a big debate on whether we're having sustainable recovery or not. clear that the chairman doesn't think it's solid or sustainable yet, but some of the other members do think it is. >> i don't know what we're supposed to call you. >> randy is fine. >> i know, i was kidding. what if they are at odds. you served at this time. you witnessed the debate that goes on internally, but it rarely becomes public in many places. this seems to be emerging at this time. what does this mean for fed policy going forward, do you think? >> well, i think legitimate discussion and legitimate alternatives are there, and i think reasonable people could agree on exactly where the economy is. i actually think it's a positive to have the different views out the

story itself what the bloomberg broke last year may have been a result of an improper delivering of the data and goldman is using the opportunity to turn the screws on bloomberg broker dealer operations will be discussing bloomberg gave a link to day in a special segment and in a live interview with christopher chambers how do you remember credit default swaps they were at the at the center of the a.r.g. goldman sachs bailout and pay off in two thousand and eight yeah the market for these insurance contracts and corporations and government is undergoing a make over a new proposal by the international swaps and derivatives association would change the rules about when the contracts pay out and the government tries to bail out a bank by forcing losses on bond holders instead of tax payer and the insurance contracts on the bonds or the bank would pay out basically is an escalation of too big to fail so get out your popcorn as the players of the sixteen trillion dollar market duke it out now let's get to what's in your prime interest. we've heard quite a bit about bloomberg lately. the news and
