Jeff AtwoodWe are tool using animals. Our primary task should not be "number go up", but building better tools for everyone. These goals are not in opposition -- I believe we can balance these two goals a lot better than we currently are.
Matt Birchler“To believe in the power of technology is not to believe it is utopian.”
Absolutely agreed. I believe in technology and I believe it can do good, but I’m not utopian about it. How you use and create policy around tech is hugely important.

Anil DashThe NY Times refuses to cover the murder of Yeremi Colino, which took place in Manhattan the same day as the murder of the UHC CEO, because Colino was an immigrant child killed by a white supremacist who asked whether he could speak English. Just like NYPD refuses to carry out the same kind of manhunt with hourly updates on the killer. They only care about corporate tycoons, not teenagers being killed. This is how they cover for the hate crime.
