The reason I spend so much of my time doing science is that the whole point of science is to help people resolve conflicting claims by saying: ‘Show me the data.’ – Dean Ornish
We should be careful not to vilify encryption itself, which is essential for privacy, data security, and global commerce. – Mike McCaul
Our criteria for good data feeds are that they need to be dynamic enough to be interesting, something that users want to attune to throughout the day, etc. – David Rose
Our pride is tied up in being right. We tend to favor data that confirm our beliefs, so we don’t see alternatives. Too often, leaders practice defense routines that become self-reinforcing. – Nina Easton
We should teach the students, as well as executives, how to conduct experiments, how to examine data, and how to use these tools to make better decisions. – Dan Ariely
I definitely think there’s some way to understand how people emotionally feel about somebody, but I don’t think data collects it. They’re not going to click your bit.ly link or click your TweetMeme retweet every time. – Gary Vaynerchuk
The amount of data and analysis available for free is a true example of information explosion has leveled the playing field for individual investors. – Maria Bartiromo
Every day, three times per second, we produce the equivalent of the amount of data that the Library of Congress has in its entire print collection, right? But most of it is like cat videos on YouTube or 13-year-olds exchanging text messages about the next Twilight movie. – Nate Silver
What I love – and I’m a journalist – and what I love is finding hidden patterns; I love being a data detective. – David McCandless
Data is the kind of ubiquitous resource that we can shape to provide new innovations and new insights, and it’s all around us, and it can be mined very easily. – David McCandless
We charted individual pitches by hand, so I had that data from game to game, but from year to year, I didn’t really have that data, because a lot of times it was discarded. – David Cone
Not only can consumers handle their personal genetic information, but they are getting genomically oriented and anchored about such data. – Eric Topol
There will be hundreds of new companies that will be created to develop these very simple data devices. – David Rose
You can have data without information, but you cannot have information without data. – Daniel Keys Moran
Without a national ID and the ability to create true data that can be be safely and securely sent between individuals, we are going to introduce new systemic risk back into the system. – Neal Patterson
Facebook is by far the largest of these social networking sites, and starting with its ill-fated Beacon service, privacy concerns have more than once been raised about how the ubiquitous social networking site handles its user data. – Michael Bennet

Thieves sell to unscrupulous merchants who pay hundreds of dollars for phones – no questions asked – and then ‘jailbreak’ them. They unlock the units, erase their data, reprogram them, and put them up for resale. – Eric Schneiderman
Data transmission is no longer something scary you don’t want in your backyard. Now you want it directly in front of your house. – Douglas Coupland
Basically, if you want to have a computer system that could pass the Turing test, it as a machine is going to have to be able to self-reference and use its own experience and the sense data that it’s taking in to basically create its own understanding of the world and use that as a reference point for all new sense data that’s coming in to it. – Duncan Jones
In China, Internet surveillance has already become a profitable industry. In fact, a growing number of private firms eagerly assist the local police by aggregating this data and presenting it in easy-to-browse formats, allowing humans to pursue more analytical tasks. – Evgeny Morozov
I set out to create chips that used low-energy technology, and that has allowed me to develop devices that can do all their data crunching on site. – Chris Toumazou
With a hundred and seventy-eight machines to sequence the precise order of the billions of chemicals within a molecule of DNA, B.G.I. produces at least a quarter of the world’s genomic data – more than Harvard University, the National Institutes of Health, or any other scientific institution. – Michael Specter
Everything we do in the digital realm – from surfing the Web to sending an e-mail to conducting a credit card transaction to, yes, making a phone call – creates a data trail. And if that trail exists, chances are someone is using it – or will be soon enough. – Douglas Rushkoff
The estimated loss of up to six million dead is founded too much on both emotional, biased testimonies and on exaggerated data in the postwar reckonings of war crimes and on the squaring of accounts with the defeated. – Franjo Tudjman
