Data Quotes

Computer security can simply be protecting your equipment and files from disgruntled employees, spies, and anything that goes bump in the night, but there is much more. Computer security helps ensure that your computers, networks, and peripherals work as expected all the time, and that your data is safe in the event of hard disk crash or a power failure resulting from an electrical storm. Computer security also makes sure no damage is done to your data and that no one is able to read it unless you want them to Picture Quote #1

Too few people in computer science are aware of some of the informational challenges in biology and their implications for the world. We can store an incredible amount of data very cheaply Picture Quote #1

No generalizing beyond the data, no theory. No theory, no insight. And if no insight, why do research Picture Quote #1

The conclusion of design flows naturally from the data; we should not shrink from it; we should embrace it and build on it Picture Quote #1

Students using astrophysical textbooks remain essentially ignorant of even the existence of plasma concepts, despite the fact that some of them have been known for half a century. The conclusion is that astrophysics is too important to be left in the hands of astrophysicists who have gotten their main knowledge from these textbooks. Earthbound and space telescope data must be treated by scientists who are familiar with laboratory and magnetospheric physics and circuit theory, and of course with modern plasma theory Picture Quote #1

Beware of the problem of testing too many hypotheses; the more you torture the data, the more likely they are to confess, but confessions obtained under duress may not be admissible in the court of scientific opinion Picture Quote #1

Stealing is stealing, whether you use a computer command or a crowbar, and whether you take documents, data or dollars Picture Quote #1

The mechanist is intimately convinced that a precise knowledge of the chemical constitution, structure, and properties of the various organelles of a cell will solve biological problems. This will come in a few centuries. For the time being, the biologist has to face such concepts as orienting forces or morphogenetic fields. Owing to the scarcity of chemical data and to the complexity of life, and despite the progresses of biochemistry, the biologist is still threatened with vertigo Picture Quote #1

Measurement has too often been the leitmotif of many investigations rather than the experimental examination of hypotheses. Mounds of data are collected, which are statistically decorous and methodologically unimpeachable, but conclusions are often trivial and rarely useful in decision making. This results from an overly rigorous control of an insignificant variable and a widespread deficiency in the framing of pertinent questions. Investigators seem to have settled for what is measurable instead of measuring what they would really like to know Picture Quote #1

The investigation of causal relations between economic phenomena presents many problems of peculiar difficulty, and offers many opportunities for fallacious conclusions. Since the statistician can seldom or never make experiments for himself, he has to accept the data of daily experience, and discuss as best he can the relations of a whole group of changes; he cannot, like the physicist, narrow down the issue to the effect of one variation at a time. The problems of statistics are in this sense far more complex than the problems of physics Picture Quote #1

Perhaps generations of students of human evolution, including myself, have been flailing about in the dark; that our data base is too sparse, too slippery, for it to be able to mold our theories. Rather the theories are more statements about us and ideology than about the past. Paleontology reveals more about how humans view themselves than it does about how humans came about, but that is heresy Picture Quote #1

Information is not synonymous with knowledge. Information is only data, parts of the whole. Knowledge has a moral imperative to enhance intellectual and spiritual unity Picture Quote #1

It is better to have 100 functions operate on one data structure than to have 10 functions operate on 10 data structures Picture Quote #1

Data can’t speak for itself; it’s up to you to give it a voice. Try to speak truthfully Picture Quote #1

... We have 25 or so years invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try to find something wrong with it Picture Quote #1

These data suggest very strongly that participating in the playing of violent video games by children and youth increase aggressive thought and behavior; increase antisocial behavior and delinquency; engender poor school performance; desensitize the game player to violence Picture Quote #1

Every second of every day, our senses bring in way too much data than we can possibly process in our brains Picture Quote #1

It’s amazing how much data is out there. The question is how do we put it in a form that’s usable? Picture Quote #1

With too little data, you won’t be able to make any conclusions that you trust. With loads of data you will find relationships that aren’t real... Big data isn’t about bits, it’s about talent Picture Quote #1

The world is now awash in data and we can see consumers in a lot clearer ways Picture Quote #1

Science is composed of laws which were originally based on a small, carefully selected set of observations, often not very accurately measured originally; but the laws have later been found to apply over much wider ranges of observations and much more accurately than the original data justified Picture Quote #1

Although each of us obviously inhabits a separate physical body, the laboratory data from a hundred years of parapsychology research strongly indicate that there is no separation in consciousness Picture Quote #1

Our ability to do great things with data will make a real difference in every aspect of our lives Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We chose it because we deal with huge amounts of data. Besides, it sounds really cool Picture Quote #1

I kind of have to be a master of cleaning, extracting and trusting my data before I do anything with it Picture Quote #1

Trying to analyze a situation without enough data was like looking at a photograph of a ball in flight and trying to gauge its direction. Is it going up, down, sideways? Is it about to collide with a baseball bat? Is it moving at all, or is something on the blind side holding it in place? A single frame didn’t mean a thing. Patterns were based on data. With enough datapoints, you could predict just about anything Picture Quote #1

We’re not policy people and we don’t want to be policy people. All we’re interested in, as social scientists, is data that accurately represents reality Picture Quote #1

Data are pointing to very strong growth in the fourth quarter. The pessimistic viewpoint, which has seen its grip on reality slip to the last knuckle in the past few months, is now holding on by its fingernails Picture Quote #1

Security is a big concern on the social web. People are going to try to destroy social media just like they are trying to breach data in other areas Picture Quote #1
