Everybody Knows When You’re Talking To Your Mother

presented by Chris Clark

You have to think with your users, with your cus­tomers, what is your actu­al rela­tion­ship? Are they your gods? Are they your guests? Are they a nui­sance to you? Because you know where the pow­er is. 

The Computer as Extended Phenotype

presented by Steven Pemberton

The com­put­er is being used for so many things that I claim that we have to con­sid­er the com­put­er as part of our extend­ed phe­no­type. It’s just a part of a thing that has evolved with us using memes.

When Algorithms Fail in Our Personal Lives

presented by Caroline Sinders

I won­der with all these vary­ing lev­els of needs that we have as users, and as we live more and more of our lives dig­i­tal­ly and on social media, what would it look like to design a semi-private space in a pub­lic network?

Fran Allen Keynote, Grace Hopper Celebration 2008

presented by Fran Allen

What I believe is that com­put­er sci­ence emerged as a sci­ence, as a pro­fes­sion, with all the require­ments on what pro­fes­sion­al stan­dards and require­ments of what one need­ed to know to get a job in the field. […] In that peri­od, then, cre­den­tials were estab­lished, and by the ear­ly 70s things had real­ly changed for women, at least in my envi­ron­ment, and most oth­er groups that I’ve talked to about this the­o­ry absolute­ly agree that that was where there was a sig­nif­i­cant shift.

What’s The Most Good You Can Do?

presented by Peter Singer

Unfortunately at the moment I think typ­i­cal­ly phil­an­thropy is not being used very effec­tive­ly, and that’s part­ly because of the kind of non-judgmental atti­tude that phil­an­thropy advi­sors and peo­ple gen­er­al­ly have about philanthropy.

One of the most sur­pris­ing out­comes since then is to find just how many peo­ple I know who are engi­neers [have] had some expe­ri­ence with the law. It’s unbe­liev­able the num­ber of peo­ple who’ve come to me and said, ​“Look, the same thing hap­pened to me when I was a teenag­er, when I was in col­lege, a lit­tle after.”

Hal Abelson’s Remarks at the Freedom to Innovate Summit

presented by Hal Abelson

Maybe what we ought to do is start advo­cat­ing that hack­ing is a reli­gion. We can expand, right? We can car­ry around our lit­tle cir­cuit boards with lights and maybe extend to e‑meters or something.

Mindful Cyborgs #69 — Materials Science & Plastic-making Bees with Deb Chachra

presented by Deb Chachra, Klint Finley, Sara M. Watson

Designers do spend a fair bit of time think­ing about what mate­ri­als to use, but they don’t nec­es­sar­i­ly think about why those mate­ri­als have the prop­er­ties that they have.

Interview with Filip Leu, Tattoo Artist

presented by Filip Leu

The main dri­ve we all have is the desire to be tat­tooed. Design comes in sec­ondary, absolute­ly, because there are mul­ti­ple choic­es at every turn that would suit just fine.

Interview with Lal Hardy, Tattoo Artist

presented by Lal Hardy

The real­i­ty TV shows have been a bless­ing and a hin­drance, I think, to a lot of tat­too artists. The real­i­ty is, real­i­ty shows aren’t real. But they do make peo­ple aware of tattooing.

The Conversation #35 — Chuck Collins
presented by Aengus Anderson, Chuck Collins, Micah Saul

Much of class and isolation and pulling away is this sort of illusion that somehow we can be apart from the suffering that is in our midst. And that's a myth. The social isolation that many people in the one percent experience is a wound. Read more →

Geek of the Week: Milo Medin
presented by Carl Malamud, Milo Medin

I think if the Internet really becomes a public data network in the true sense of the word, something that equals Telenet or something like that, or surpasses it in capability, but it's being used that way then I think in general the mission agency networks will become much more private, and not have to go off and pull capability to places.
