Those who call me an opportunist are following the old rule: If you can’t attack the data, attack the person. – Warren Farrell
There is a reasonable concern that posting raw data can be misleading for those who are not trained in its use and who do not have the broader perspective within which to place a particular piece of data that is raw. – Stephen Cambone
A graphic representation of data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding. – William Gibson
When a human being becomes a set of data on a website like Facebook, he or she is reduced. Everything shrinks. Individual character. Friendships. Language. Sensibility. – Zadie Smith
I think it’s pretty obvious to most people that Napster is not media specific, but I could see a system like Napster evolving into something that allows users to locate and retrieve different types of data other than just MP3s or audio files. – Shawn Fanning
There’s not a lot of really great, deep, serialized television, and we can see from the data that that’s what people want. – Ted Sarandos
Our entire brand is about transparency. We want that data out there because you know what? If you are only getting one in three messages replied to, you’re normal. You’re right there in the middle of everything with everyone else. – Sam Yagan
What we did is we used NASA topography data to map out the landscape, very subtle changes. We started to be able to see where the Nile used to flow. – Sarah Parcak
The launch of Google+ apps sends a powerful signal – the personalized web has begun. What this means is that the way information is structured and accessed will turn on the individual, or rather their personal profile which is a composite of all the data collected on the basis of what they have searched for and shared. – Simon Mainwaring
A lot of the data we collect is stuff that has to be analyzed on the ground. For instance, we can’t see, you know, bone loss. Our cells, you know, that’s something that we’ll have to notice with imaging technology when I get back. – Scott Kelly
Data, I think, is one of the most powerful mechanisms for telling stories. I take a huge pile of data and I try to get it to tell stories. – Steven Levitt
Our understanding of the human brain can be dramatically accelerated if we collect and share research data on an exponentially wider scale. – Tan Le
Those who cry out that the government should ‘do something’ never even ask for data on what has actually happened when the government did something, compared to what actually happened when the government did nothing. – Thomas Sowell
The Cingular-branded 2125 Smartphone is an example of how Windows Mobile 5.0 can create a flexible, powerful phone that helps mobile information workers access their most essential business data in a compact form factor. – Suzan DelBene
When you look at the actual data on technological innovation, one thing you see is that what I call the ‘low-hanging fruit’ has been exhausted. So radio, flush toilets, electricity, and automobiles – a lot of very basic inventions – have spread to almost all households. – Tyler Cowen
Do countries with strong gun control laws have lower murder rates? Only if you cherry-pick the data. – Thomas Sowell
People feel vulnerable when they travel. Nobody wants to be taken advantage of or talked into something they don’t want. Staying at Motel 6 makes you feel smarter. In fact, I think it actually means you are smarter, but I have no hard data to support that. – Tom Bodett
The most important lesson to take away from allowing the minimum wage and unemployment benefit data to talk is that abstract notions of what is right, good and just should be examined from a concrete, operational point of view. A dose of reality is most edifying. – Steve Hanke
Researchers should always consider ethical concerns on scientific research and disclose their data to the public. Scientists also need to discuss issues surrounding their research with those who are concerned. – Shinya Yamanaka
When I got out of undergrad, I had a degree in theater and telecommunications. My first job, I was a news reporter for the local stories for NPR. Then I was a country-western DJ. I did data entry for a yearbook company. In my mid-20s I went back to grad school at NYU, and I specialized in playwriting. – Suzanne Collins
Russia does not have in its possession any trustworthy data that supports the existence of nuclear weapons or any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and we have not received any such information from our partners as yet. – Vladimir Putin
There has been a substitution of ideology for fact and scientific and engineering data in this administration. – Vint Cerf
Fit experts envision a future in which you’d carry your body scan in your cell phone or on a thumb drive, using the data to order clothes online or find them in stores. But who’s going to pay for all those scanners, which cost about $35,000 each, and the staff to run them? – Virginia Postrel
People are very interested in having access to wireless data while they are on a plane. – Steve Largent
As long as government is allowed to collect all Internet data, the perceived exigency will drive honest civil servants to reach more broadly and deeply into our networked lives. – Yochai Benkler
The NSA is not listening to anyone’s phone calls. They’re not reading any Americans’ e-mails. They’re collecting simply the data that your phone company already has, and which you don’t have a reasonable expectation of privacy, so they can search that data quickly in the event of a terrorist plot. – Tom Cotton
The use of encrypted communication and data storage to shield terrorist coordination from intelligence and law-enforcement authorities is known as ‘going dark.’ – Tom Cotton
We should be individualizing instruction, utilizing that data to actually give teachers the tools necessary to meet the needs of a very diverse group of kids which exists in every class. – Wendy Kopp
