If you randomly blink people in and out of existence, the the probablility of "no" could get very low if possible cases include 10 people, or 300 people, or 129 people, or 2000000000 people... how likely would it be that you'd get to zero at some point?

    That's a meaningless comparison. Government is supposed to know accurate information about it's citizens that's needed to operate properly. And so it does. Data jittering is done for purposes of keeping individual privacy when publishing data to *public* (keeping privacy as in making sure that third-party can't restore individual data from published data, not as in keeping secrets from government). Pretty sure they store correct census data of each individual for internal purposes as well.

But I also don't want us to be vulnerable to Nazi behavior. What if census form asked if you wanted your data jittered? (like a micro point system [+/- 1 PersonPoint]) If there was a way to do this then the more people who opt out of the jitter the more transparent our data can become, and, it can become this way democratically. We could some day brag that we are so proud and brave that we do not fear others being able to pinpoint us based on our demographics because, for example, those around us our neighbors and fellow citizens would stand up for our human dignity in spite of the differences between us.

    @@MRDAVIDJHEMMINGER Um ... That sounds amazingly dangerous. Granted, I was one who was all for free access to information years ago - had an open Wi-Fi, used Linux, did all the things - then was accused of storing illegal stuff on my computer. Not a fun experience and one that pushed me to re-examine how well I knew my neighbors and how good an idea having Open Source stuff and sharing information really was. End result, if I understood the video correctly, your vote to *not* 'jitter' your information can have the effect of allowing my information to be more easily discovered. (As this whole video reminded me of those word problem set ups you do when trying to find out who of three people with red hair rode a bicycle and ate a pie in a six person neighborhood. I'm not good with maths, so I'm trusting y'all to keep me honest.) In the course of using your un-jittered information, my information is more easy to extrapolate. Basically, your freedom to share your information is also sharing my information, that I may not want out there. I don't mind standing for human dignity. Nor do I really mind being part of certain kinds of scientific study. I do, however, mind being "voluntold" for a study I don't want to participate in just because someone else thinks it's a great idea. The freedom to *not* be included is also important and should be protected. I don't feel a need to have to brag to my great-grandchildren about how "brave and proud" I was to allow social scientists access to my personal data. I can feel brave and proud through having actual accomplishments like doing a job well, or writing a book, or creating something artistic. Being part of a movement to end privacy and personal information from being shared with whomever can cough up the money to purchase access to census data is not on my List of Things To Do. But thanks, anyway.

On our research team, we would never consider a privacy budget above 5, and the gold standard was .01.

    yeah. when selling this stuff they should only sell jittered data, and only averages (even if the source data could be partially reverse engineered). right now data sold to and between ad networks is even worse than un-jittered correlatable averages, it's often just a selection of stats that omits your name, completely bare for the companies to correlate themselves without even having to try and unpack anything first. they're all technically not selling identifiable data if they say "she's a girl and likes cats" but with enough overlap between the information sharing, you only need one ad network picking up your location from a web search and they can eventually tie that together so they know all your preferences, your age, where you live.. just not technically your name. of course that last step, getting the name, is one of the easiest

I am totally guilty of giving Google enormous amounts of information about my spending habits and hobbies, both willingly and unwillingly. I believe that the best way to create more accurate and advanced algorithms (especially with neural networks) is to "feed the beast" and as much data as possible; plus, I feel like I have nothing to hide. That being said, I am growing increasingly weary of who is getting their hands on that data and how it is being used.

    Great video! Thanks Question: Do you know if these models take into account the noise inherently present in any data collection, especially on this scale? I.e., assuming even zero perturbation of the data, the knowledge you get from it is still a proxy of the real information (due to human errors, intentional misinformation, etc.), so taking that into account might give you some leeway in your "privacy budget". Maybe this can be modeled as an increase in budget without harming privacy? Just a thought :)

    In my opinion, the concern with privacy isn't that everyone can know an individual's information; it's that single large groups can know disproportionately large amounts of information about large quantities of people. I believe if one group can access not-necessarily-sensitive data like my age and sex, then everyone should be able to as well.

    The census is authorized in the Constitution to count adults. But it is not authorized to collect information about their sex, race, income, sexual orientation, etc. So I always leave these blank on the census form. Leaving these out globally would increase the privacy of the census, without reducing its accuracy.

    Trurl Electrical engineering. Information theory is likely only an undergrad course for math majors (and is likely optional in most programs). It would be an optional grad course for EE, CS, and (probably) physics. For the practice of computer science (and not just programming), information theory isn’t terribly relevant, but it is necessary for a lot of practical applications (compression and encryption).

    The thing is that in nearly any given community epsilon is soooo small as to be practically unusable. I worry that this video will leave many thinking that we're dealing with epsilons that have useful value beyond being intellectually stimulating. I'm glad we're implementing matrix smoothing, but for everyone else who doesn't understand the math, there's nothing for you to worry about and you should really complete your census. Us nerds are busy battling privacy concerns long long before they should be of concern for people who aren't mathematicians.

    Sounds to me that bayes theorem against a random chance of false data can come in handy. Similar to asking people if they do something that is specifically embarrassing without knowing whether they actually do that specific thing....by having them roll a die or flip a coin to answer the question (a flip of heads means "answer truthfully" and a flip of tails means "always answer yes", leads far more people to answer honestly without the test taker knowing if it's true). So if you give everyone say a 10% chance of false data at a 50% range, then you end up with only a 5% draw down on the overall survey without revealing much information individually.

    Dear minutephysics. I have a question. I am currently a science student in chemistry and I saw a video about quantum teleportation recently and i want to ask you something. Is it possible to use quantum computers with every electron being a kind of data(like 0 and 1) to make accurate measurement of scanning something very far? If so, then could we use that data to determine the chemical compound of the said object? If so, can we also use quantum computers and high sources of energy to accurately control light with controlled heat as well very far to break chemical bonds light years away? I am asking this because if that is right, then could we possibly make chemical reactions occur very far in space?(And thinking about it more, is it possible to teleport someone like that if it is accurately controlled?) By accuracy i mean with a lot of like near 100% but not 100% accuracy. Bonus question: Will it be possible in the future that instead of electrons determining the value of a data as of 0 and 1, we would use their spin quantum number to determine a 0 and 1 then for a secondary array... I will just state this below: [0,0,0,0] [it's spinning right side, it is moving on the 0 magnetic quantum number, the shape of the orbit is like a sphere, it is on the 1st shell.] 1s1 [1,1,1,1] [It is spinning on the left side, it is moving on the 1st magnetic quantum number, the shape of orbit is like a dumbell, it is on the 2nd shell] 1s2, 2s2 2p3 [1,0,0,0] [It is spinning right side, it is moving on the 0 magnetic quantum number, the shape of orbit is like a sphere, it is on the 1st shell] 1s2 And so on, or is it already like that? Or would it have some measurement problems? Thank you for attention. Sidenote: Currently it is 0:00am here and i am half dead, so sorry if i messed up the quantum numbers in any way.

    Although I am reluctant for huge descriptive statistics for demographics on the census for people who are still alive. Yet, the census is a massively important document for ancestry and family history documenting and discovery. The more information that is on the census, the more accurate you can find your family. It’s important. Even though it can be concerning when people get ahold of this census early. It should be noted that the census doesn’t release a census for 50 years after. So the 1970 census isn’t even publicly available yet.

    Honestly though, someone could figure out way more information about you by data mining your public internet accounts. And with internet accounts there is far more relevant data at stake; like your mother’s maiden name could be found through inference from facebook posts, or the bank you use could be found from pictures, GPS data, or off hand comments. That’s with a few more questions would be enough to change the password on your bank account and wire money out. It probably would even use less processing power than bitcoin.
