my interpretation of Schneier’s critique of blockchain is: the tech needs to be analyzed holistically, including in how humans interact with it, and as with every technology, it does not eliminate risk, rather, it displaces risk and rearranges it differently. …see more

President-elect Biden has previously said that TikTok is “a matter of genuine concern,” but it is unclear how the incoming Biden administration is planning to handle this issue.

It's one thing to have a private conversation and express concerns about the need for more oversight, transparency and accountability within an emerging new field. It is quite another to step down from a position of influence and power and create a nonprofit to ensure the industry grows in ways that help instead of harm. I am thrilled that Cortnie has taken this leap within the Artificial Intelligence field. …see more

Google's Pixelbook is in many ways my ideal laptop: beautifully designed, simple and elegant to use, and perfectly integrated with all the apps I use every day. Well not all. If only Adobe were to give more love their Android versions of Photoshop, Lightroom and Illustrator (and why on earth wouldn't they?) then the Pixelbook would truly be a game changer. …see more

“Never take no for a final answer; never accept defeat; never give into fear. When you do a startup, everything is stacked against you. You have no money. You have no product. You have no customers. You have no track record. You have no proof of anything you claim. Everything you do is met by resistance, skepticism, and rejection. If you give in to it, your career as an entrepreneur will be short and unfulfilled.” Dhiraj Mukherjee https://lnkd.in/g-pbrDi #founder #innovation #tech #startup …see more

I focus on these areas because they reflect my intersectional life as a Black woman. I have learned that a lot of exciting decisions happen when it is time to merge the two disciplines into one project. And I like to be in the room where those product design decisions are happening. I am also interested in how our intermediate design decisions will help or not help those we are intended. And there is the even harder question, what will be the unplanned and unconventional uses of the products and any unintended consequences? I like to call it thoughtful tech creation.” Camille Eddy …see more
