Just need to start a rumor that this will allow the government to identify GUN OWNERS, for some future gun CONFISCATION effort. Cart_catalog

I look forward to a large contingent of MAGA voters suddenly insisting that they are now, among other things, experts on statistical methodology and census operations. You know, topics that they knew nothing about last week. Or this week. Rirere

Differential privacy keeps that data private. It’s a mathematical framework whereby a statistical output can’t be used to determine any individual’s data in a dataset, and the bureau’s algorithm for differential privacy is called TopDown. It injects “noise” into the data starting at the highest level (national), moving progressively downward. There are certain constraints placed around the kind of noise that can be introduced—for instance, the total number of people in a state or census block has to remain the same. But other demographic characteristics, like race or gender, are randomly reassigned to individual records within a set tranche of data. This way, the overall number of people with a certain characteristic remains constant, while the characteristics associated with any one record don’t describe an individual person. In other words, you’ll know how many women or Hispanic people are in a census block, just not exactly where.

On August 28, Republican Representative August Pfluger introduced the COUNT Act. If passed, it would add a citizenship question to the census and force the Census Bureau to “cease utilization of the differential privacy process.” Pfluger’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

RIO DE JANEIRO — About 2,500 Brazilian police and soldiers launched a massive raid on a drug-trafficking gang in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday, arresting 81 suspects and sparking shootouts that left at least 60 suspects and four police officers dead, officials said.

The operation included officers in helicopters and armored vehicles and targeted the notorious Red Command in the sprawling low-income favelas of Complexo de Alemao and Penha, police said.

Do you think Brazillian Burton made it out alive? How about Brazillian Timmy?

I feel like that's solved on Reddit's end by just making edits to comments separate new comments on the database. So all you're really doing is adding more data that can be easily excluded.

“I looked her up,” Fayez said. “I didn’t tell Elvi. Back in the day, this was Francisca Torrez. She worked in the Science Directorate as a technician. I assume Cortázar knew her, at least in passing. She was going through something. Maybe her love life sucked. Maybe she always wanted to be a dancer and realized it wasn’t happening for her. Anyway, she started drinking and showed up to work intoxicated and belligerent. She didn’t even go home that day. Ochida had a streamlined disciplinary hearing with Cortázar and the head of security, and they put her in the Pen before she even sobered up.” - Leviathan Falls

Tanaka in the same book had it available in her bedsite table:

“First I’ve heard of it,” she said, reaching for the side table and her sobriety meds. “Can you tell me the agenda?” - Leviathan Falls

We know that sobriety meds were wildly available at least by Babylon's Ashes

Alex held it up. He’d gotten the packet from a dispenser in the men’s room. The foil had a dragon’s head embossed on it and some nonsense kanji that didn’t mean anything.

Holden’s brow furrowed. “Sobriety meds?”

Alex felt himself blushing and tried to hide it by smiling. “Well, I’m thinking I may be in a situation here pretty soon where everybody needs to be able to agree to whatever they’re agreeing to.” - Babylon's Ashes

So how did a scientist assigned to a high level research facility not have access to the sobriety drugs? Does Laconia not make them wildly available in the hopes that they can recruit more people into the pens? For a high security building like the pens I'd assume it would be in dispensing machines in the bathrooms for when you clock into work.

At the beginning of Persepolis Rising Cortazar explains that the human stem cells injected into Duarte were altered by the proto molecule. I'm guessing they then removed the proto-molecule from the stem cells before injecting them into Duarte. This was to mimic the drone repairs on Laconia.

My question is: How did the proto molecule defeat this big constraint and mind control Duarte? Cortazar was explicitly removing it from the stem cells. The molecule could only "perfect" the stem cells in regard to efficiencies the ring builders knew of. But by Leviathan falls they definitely have full control of Duarte anyways.
