Ever wondered how to compute a function across multiple parties without revealing their inputs?
This technique can be used to split secrets among parties, perform logical operations, or count votes in a way that ensures data privacy is preserved.

'Two hundred forty-six researchers in the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology — including two from Clemson University — worked in 174 teams to answer two different research questions based on the same unpublished data sets.
They came up with a strikingly variable range of answers, including some that were direct opposites of each other.'
Clemson News: Study: Researchers’ choices could result in different conclusions from the same data . “If you give hundreds of researchers the same data and the same hypotheses to test, they will reach the same conclusions, right? Wrong, according to a recent study published in the journal BMC Biology. Two hundred forty-six researchers in the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology — […]
The most efficient tips for working with a large dataset are:
1. Subset your data to small chunks
If your computer crashes, keep subsetting, until it doesn't.
2. Use command line and a plain text editor
Forget positron, Rstudio or VScode. They are too heavy.

Ist doch eigentlich ganz einfach.
Man kauft keinen #tesla und man benutzt #palantir nicht, wenn man nicht die falschen Leute noch mächtiger machen will.
Nur so eine Idee: Man benutzt ein paar Millionen von den Milliarden und entwickelt selber eine #bigdata Lösung und fördert damit die lokale Softwareindustrie. Oder noch besser: Man lässt es einfach ganz.
Für die Entscheidung des #bundesrat hab ich jedenfalls kein Verständnis.
"Chinas Skynet-Projekt ist mit mehr als 170 Millionen Kameras das weltweit größte Überwachungsnetzwerk.
Weitere 400 Millionen sollen in den kommenden drei Jahren installiert werden."
"#TotalTrust ist ein zutiefst beunruhigender und bewegender Film über die unheimliche Macht von #BigData und #KI, über ihren Ge- und Missbrauch im öffentlichen wie im privaten Leben sowie über Zensur und Selbstzensur."

Und warum stehen #CDU/ #CSU/ #AfD so auf die #BigData [#Palantir & Co.] Systeme (neben gewöhnlicher #Korruption & "#Lobbyismus natürlich) - weil sich ihre Vorstellungen einer rassistischen & klassistischen #Terrorherrschaft auf die Art ganz fein und unbemerkt neben der geltenden Rechtslage implementieren lassen.
#Gleichheit vor dem Gesetz, #BürgerRechte, #Einspruchsmöglichkeiten, #Transparenz - das existiert alles innerhalb der polizeilichen #Totalüberwachung nicht.

Norberaren jatorriaren inguruko test genetikoak egiten dituen #23andMe enpresa hondoa jotzear da.
Itxiz gero, ez dago batere argi zer gertatuko den enpresak bildutako bezeroen lagin eta datu genetikoekin. Seguruenik enkantean salduta bukatuko dute.
Nola izango da gauza, ezen Kaliforniako gobernuak berak ere alerta bidali duen, bezeroek LEHENBAILEHEN eskatu diezaioten enpresari beren datuak ezabatzea.

Take, for example, the rich Viking Period graves of Birka. They are absolutely essential for research into that period. But Stolpe excavated and documented them in the 1870s and 1880s. Then the finds and bones and paper archive were not very well curated in a museum until the 1930s, when Arbman collated the information, and published it in the 1940s. Finally both versions of what these graves were like was put online ten years ago.
Now and then people from data science suggest to me that they should be able to do something interesting with big archaeological data. But there's a naïveté in their concept of "data". I always sigh and tell them that they have no idea how unstandardised our data are. Even if you could scan it all from the paper media it's on, any pattern-seeking algorithm would primarily catch the history of changing archaeological documentation practices.

Can anyone reccomend a book or documentary that explains how companies like Google and Microsoft make money from surveillance of users? I understand some of the basics, but would really like a deep understanding. Preferably something aimed at laypeople, rather than people with a tech professional background. Thanks!
