But you can have what’s most important. I remember when I was little, my Dad would come home on a Friday night after work and a quick stop at the local for an end of week round. He’d always bring home a brown paper bag with 3 chocolate covered toffee bars from the dairy in it for me…

Bjorn, while I know you meant that in a totally innocent manner, that attitude is exactly why we see such a lack of diversity and understanding in tech. And not just tech, but the professional world as a whole.
Because for every one of Amelie, there were probably 5 people who did exactly what you suggested. They quit. They…

One of my personal interests is understanding how technology is changing us as human beings: how we see ourselves, how we see other people, how we relate to one another, how we evolve our understanding of the human condition. I wouldn’t consider myself a…
Wow so this was the actual reason why I wasn’t able to complete my goals everyday. I have seriously read a lot of articles as to why I became so lazy even if my mind wanted to do the task.
Very thoughtful and smoothly written. I agree with most of what your advice (and I’m by no means an expert), but I have to strongly disagree with your suggestion to undercut. It’s not that the old folks are afraid- or those that are, shouldn’t be, as you mention- but valuing our work as a collective. Ultimately we’re in this together, despite the…

Amélie Lamont With the exception of the relationship and the racism (I’m white and I’m experiencing homophobia), your story mirrors my own and it horrifies me, for what happened to you and what is happening to me. It took a lot of courage to share your story, and I appreciate you for doing so. Please take care of yourself.
Interesting analysis. I personally feel that conversational ui is different from other trends because it packs some technology. The simple “it just works” apps work became of great AI and tools that only now we manage to create. Conversation that are aware of context are pretty amazing.

I found “A Rape in Cyberspace” particularly compelling because it deals with unethical actions in a digital place. Crimes like this are much more difficult to regulate because distinct identities are not always disclosed. By our social norms, rape itself is…

China’s growth story has been amazing. They have “manufactured” their way to glory. A lot of people argue with their concept of development. But the Chinese system has given us a lot of innovative thoughts and products, which we expected to rise from the streets of San Francisco, CA.
Imagine turning on your laptop one day, only to be greeted by a bright, red screen with a warning message: “Your personal files are encrypted! … The private key will be destroyed in 72 hours.”
Keep in mind that we are a fairly immature species in comparison to the universe. We haven’t had enough time to mature and learn the proper ways in which to live with one another. This immaturity produces behaviors that aren’t productive to our welfare, but these behaviors (Genocide, exploitation, oppression, etc.) are products of our immature nature…
