Last up in Privacy Tech for #enigma2021, @xchatty speaking about "IMPLEMENTING DIFFERENTIAL PRIVACY FOR THE 2020

* Data users expect consistent data releases
* Some people call synthetic data "fake data" like
"fake news"
* It's not clear what "quality assurance" and "data exploration" means in a DP framework

* required to collect it by the constitution
* but required to maintain privacy by law
* differential privacy is open and we can talk about privacy loss/accuracy tradeoff
* swapping assumed limitations of the attackers (e.g. limited computational power)
Change in the meaning of "privacy" as relative -- it requires a lot of explanation and overcoming organizational barriers.
* different groups at the Census thought that meant different things
* before, states were processed as they came in. Differential privacy requires everything be computed on at once
* required a lot more computing power

* initial implementation was by Dan Kiefer, who took a sabbatical
* expanded team to with Simson and others
* 2018 end to end test
* then got to move to AWS Elastic compute... but the monitoring wasn't good enough and had to create their own dashboard to track execution
* it wasn't a small amount of compute

* ... it wasn't well-received by the data users who thought there was too much error
If you avoid that, you might add bias to the data. How to avoid that? Let some data users get access to the measurement files [I don't follow]

(1) Kushner is worth $324 million.
(2) Since 2016, Kushner has connived, with Saudi help, to force the Qataris (literally at a ship's gunpoint) to "loan" him $900 million.
(3) This is consistent with the Steele dossier.
(4) Kushner is unlikely to ever have to pay the "loan" back.
2/ So as you read about his tax practices, you should take from it that it's practices of this sort that ensure that he's able to extort money from foreign governments while Trump is POTUS without ever having to pay the money back. It also explains why he's in the Saudis' pocket.
3/ It's why the Saudis *say* he's in their pocket. It's why emoluments and federal bribery statutes matter. It's why Kushner was talking to the Saudi Crown Prince the day before the murdered Washington Post journalist was taken. It's why the Trump administration now does nothing.

Jared Kushner has a net worth of almost $324 million. But it appears that he paid little or no federal income taxes from 2009 to 2016, according to a review of confidential financial documents obtained by NYT. https://t.co/pMQDeCeDNq
