Stephen Hawking Had A Final Message For Humanity – And We Need To Heed His Warning Of Impending Doom - Duration: 8:14.
Stephen Hawking had a final message for Humanity, and we need to heed his warning of impending doom
Stephen Hawking's death was met with a public outpouring of grief and a tsunami of tributes for this brave and brilliant, man
Throughout his adult life Hawking had turned his mind to some of the most intractable scientific problems of the age
But in his last months. He also had an ominous warning for the human race
Stephen William Hawking was born on January 8
1942 in Oxford England as World War two raged around the planet
His parents were Frank and Isobel with his mother hailing from Glasgow Scotland and his father from Yorkshire, England
both were graduates of Oxford the University Stephen was to win a scholarship to
in
1950 the hockey family moved to historic st. Albans a town that dates to Roman times
Filipa and Mary were his two little sisters, and there was also an adopted brother Edward his family was far from run-of-the-mill
They took their annual holidays in a gypsy caravan and the family car was an old London taxi cab
At school at st. Albans Hawking earned himself the nickname of Einstein although
He wasn't outstandingly successful academically
However with the guidance of a teacher talking and friends build a rudimentary computer from various clocks and phone components
Surely a sign of things to come for the young Harney and indeed he began to show particular promise in science subjects
When it came time for the young Hawking to think about University one of his teachers dick Ron Tata would help them build the computer
Encourage talking to consider math as his subject, but Hawking's father concerned that jobs for mathematicians were few and far between
Wanted him to study medicine
However, Hawking's father also wanted him to go to University College at Oxford
But since math was not offered there. Honking finally opted to read physics and chemistry
So aged just 17 in having won a scholarship
Hawking started at Oxford in October of
1975
It's been said that Hawking found the work ridiculously easy
During his first year too at University and was terminally bored
However it seems that Hawking now began to get more involved in the life of his venerable seat of learning one major factor in his
newfound relish for university was his joining of the University College Boat Club an
institution at the centre of Oxford strong tradition of rowing Hawking himself lacked the physical prowess to be a really successful rower
instead taking on the role of Cox
Apparently as Cox and could at times be hair-raising if not downright dangerous
Hawking got a first class honours degree at Oxford
But not without a little anxiety on the way
He subsequently said that he figured he'd spent about a thousand hours
Studying during his course a paltry amount for a top class degree from Oxford, and he did indeed have to undergo an oral examination
Because he was on the borderline between a first and second class degree
However he got through the oral with flying colors and in 1962 he went on to his postgraduate degree in cosmology at
Cambridge University
Things were looking good for Hawking
he was on the brink of a long and potentially distinguished academic career and
In 1963 he met Jane Wilde the woman who was to become his wife
then late in
1963 Hawking was hit by a bombshell
He'd actually had some prior indications that all was not right with his health towards the end of his time at Oxford
He had a series of minor accidents including a fall down some stairs and his speech had become occasionally
indistinct
Doctors told him that he had motor neuron disease a degenerative condition with no cure the medics thought
He probably had two years at most to live
Hawking was only 21 when the shattering diagnosis emerged despite everything he and Jane went ahead and married in July of
1965 of course as we now know Hawking's condition did not kill him within two years in fact
He and Jane went on to have three children together with their youngest Timothy born in 1979
but Hawking's condition did deteriorate and he was confined to a wheelchair as
The 1960s rolled by he was gradually losing his ability to write
Hawking himself rejected any special treatment because of his disability in their 2002 book Stephen Hawking a life and science
Michael White and John Griffin quoted Hawking's wish to be seen as a
scientist first popular science writer second and in all the ways that matter a normal human being with these same desires
Drives dreams and ambitions as the next person in
The 1970s Hawking also began to lose the power of speech and only family and friends who knew him well could understand him
Then about of pneumonia came in 1985 and he needed a tracheotomy
This ended his ability to speak altogether
It was after this that Hawking began to use a voice synthesizer and his robotic tones became familiar around the world
There were even cameo appearances in the Simpsons it experienced Hawking is said to have thoroughly enjoyed
But it was as an author of popular science books that Hawking really entered the public arena his academic work on black holes and
Relativity is probably beyond the scientific understanding of most of us, and he had an immense talent for describing
complicated concepts about cosmology in layman's terms
over a 20-year period Hawking's 1998 book a brief history of time sold in excess of 10 million copies as
Early as 2006 talking had been asking questions about the future of Earth and the human race in
An Internet post Hawking wrote in a world. That's in chaos politically socially and environmentally
honking the human race sustained another 100 years
Hawking later added I don't know the answer
That's why I asked the question to get people to think about it and to be aware of the dangers we now face
and
In july 2017 less than a year before his death Hawking had some stark warnings
Speaking at the Science Museum in London. He said our physical resources are being drained at an alarming rate
We've given our planet the disastrous gift of climate change rising temperatures reduction of the polar icecaps
Deforestation and decimation of animal species we can be an ignorant unthinking lot
Elaborating on his fears about climate change Hadji said that if we didn't find a way to cut the levels of greenhouse gasses
We were emitting earth would end up similar to Venus there the ambient temperature is
860 degrees Fahrenheit with his trademark dry humor
Hawking added next time you meet a climate change denier tell them to take a trip to Venus. I'll pay the fare
Speaking to the BBC again in July of 2017
Hawking seemed pessimistic I fear evolution has inbuilt greed and aggression to the human genome
There is no sign of conflict lessening and the development of militarized technology and weapons of mass destruction could make that disastrous
Hawking went on to tell the BBC that the best hope for the survival of the human race might be independent colonies in space
He pointed out that even if climate change doesn't prove to be our nemesis an asteroid strike might be this is not science fiction
It's guaranteed by the laws of physics and probability hawking said
Since he was without doubt one of the most brilliant minds of his or any generation we would do well

FAU Center for Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies - Duration: 2:57.
The Center for Women, Gender, and Sexuality studies at Florida Atlantic University
offers and undergraduate certificate, a graduate certificate, and a Master's Degree in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
I really love this feel of academic community, and I've been in other small programs for undergrad too,
and it's nothing like this. I'm constantly inspired by my peers.
I love the WGSS program here because it's so small, so I feel like
I get more hands-on help from my mentors. I can call them up at any time.
I think what I love most about Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies is the guidance
I get from Dr. Caputi, and Dr. Barrios, and Dr. Beoku-Betts.
What can you do with a degree in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies? They can do a lot of things.
I usually tell my students you can do anything you want to do,
but you'll be coming with expertise in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies
Here's what I love about our students: no one is doing this for the money, and no one is getting this degree for the glory or the fame.
Our students are doing this because they care, and they are passionate about these issues,
and they want to make a difference in the world. And they do.
I would call our students scholar-activists. There are some who are interested in going to work with nonprofit organizations
and whilst they're studying, we try to give them exposure to those sorts of opportunities, whether on campus, whether in the community.
Many of our Master's students complete their degree with an internship and move onto exciting careers
working in gender equity, victim advocacy, and women's rights.
The highlight of my experience? The first time I got to teach.
I felt like I was living, you know, in my path, living my dream.
I'm a first-generation college student, so I never thought that I would go this far with my education,
so I think just the fact that I was able to get my degree and have it paid for is my favorite thing about this program.
Working on a thesis and knowing that when I complete that thesis
it will be published. That's incredibly thrilling for me.
I am actually looking into PHD programs right now. I had a faculty member
reach out to me and she's been working with me one on one.
After I complete my Master's in women gender and sexuality studies I really want to get my degree in sexology,
so I want to focus on sex education because I think that we need more comprehensive sex education curriculums in this county.
I am going to be going into a MFA program in Creative Writing.
It's a small program but it's very intimate and we all work together.
What can students do with a Master's in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies? Change the world.

Barber Finds Her Calling As 'Child Whisperer,' Caring For Special Needs Of Autistic Children - Duration: 3:17.
Barber Finds Her Calling As 'Child Whisperer,' Caring For Special Needs Of Autistic Children
One barber, Lisa McKenzie seems to have found her calling as a "child whisperer" when
she found a nervous and anxious autistic boy in her seat at the barbershop in Brisbane,
Australia.
The boy, Jordie Rowland, was distressed by the overwhelming sights and sounds of the
busy shop, and just couldn't sit still.
There was too much sensory overload.
"YOU COULD HEAR HIS DISTRESS BEFORE YOU SAW HIM," BARBER LISA ANN MCKENZIE TOLD
CNN.
With incredible patience, McKenzie worked to cut just a small patch of hair on each
visit.
Jodie would come back multiple times to allow her to continue with the haircut.
"AT THE VERY START, WE WOULD BE LUCKY TO GET A HALF HAIRCUT DONE," MCKENZIE SAID.
McKenzie went out of her way to accommodate the family by scheduling their visit when
the shop was about to close.
Then, she would dim the lights and soften the music in the shop.
Not even that seemed to help.
"IT WAS FOUR WEEKS BEFORE IT LOOKED LIKE A NORMAL HAIRCUT," SAID MCKENZIE.
The situation wasn't appreciated by the shop's boss, who wanted her to keep up with
five haircuts an hour and charge the boy's parents for all the time she was spending.
McKenzie didn't think it was right to charge since the haircut wasn't finished yet.
Just a few weeks later, Lisa opened her own shop.
It would give her all the time she needed to help Jordie, and allow him to take his
time and get used to the surroundings.
It was calming for him to explore the shop, and she was making progress, but the real
breakthrough moment happened when she decided to start singing a particular song to Jordie.
"THE WHEELS ON THE BUS GO ROUND AND ROUND, ALL THROUGH THE TOWN," SHE SANG.
"HE LOOKED STRAIGHT AT ME.
IT'S HARD TO DESCRIBE BUT I FELT LIKE MY HEART EXPLODED," SHE SAID.
She was able to do the entire haircut, plus finish it off properly with styling gel.
The best part:
"I FINALLY AFTER 18 MONTHS OF BUILDING JORDIE'S CONFIDENCE AND TRUST CAN GET HIM THROUGH A
COMPLETE HAIRCUT AND I AM EVEN REWARDED WITH A HUG AT THE END!
LOVE MY TRADE AND LOVE MAKING A DIFFERENCE," SHE TWEETED.
McKenzie says the secret to haircuts for kids with autism is patience, understanding, and
building a trusting relationship.
"I THINK AS AN INDUSTRY, THERE IS A HUGE GAP HERE.
WE ARE BARBERS, AND HAIRDRESSERS NEED TO DO BETTER," SAID MCKENZIE.
She is definitely doing better, and in response, her customers travel from miles around to
bring their kids to her new shop for their haircuts.
Lisa's shop, the Celtic Barber now offers special appointments for autistic kids, which
she calls "Superstar Sunday Sensory Sensitive Sessions."
She says she's received thousands of messages about the service and is filling up her business
quickly.
Five other barbers help her, and they will cut hair on the floor while kids play with
toys.
She considers the kids part of her "Celtic Barber family."
" LOVE BEING ABLE TO CATER FOR OUR BEAUTIFUL MISUNDERSTOOD CHILDREN WITH A CLOSED SHOP
AND THAT ONE ON ONE ATTENTION," SHE TWEETED.

Tips For Landlords & Renters - 12News Segment Aired 4/1/2018 #12News #NBC - Duration: 2:37.
Welcome back to 12 Today. Are you more likely to rent or buy? Well right here in
the valley this surprised me, our expert says more people are actually renting
their homes. Yeah, I think millenials I'm hearing or doing this more. That kind of
thinking is changing how some owners do business. Many are considering converting
their homes to a rental property, so today our 12 News Real Estate Expert
Holly Henbest has some tips for people looking to enter the rental property
business. Here's Holly. For Rent, we're starting to see more and more homeowners
convert their current homes to rental properties instead of selling them. Why
is that? We're seeing that rental demand and rates are on the rise so homeowners
are taking advantage of that. That means we have a lot of new landlords on the
block. So today we have some tips for you. And if you're looking to rent a home we
have some tips for you too. Let's start by talking about the application process.
Landlords, you want to get an application but in addition to that make sure you
run a credit and background check. You want to verify that everything on the
application is accurate, and nothing was left out. And renters, if you have
something negative in your credit or background check history this is a good
time to write a note to the landlord explaining your situation. And when it's
time for the tenants to move into the home, it's a good time to grab your phone.
This will be a great source for documentation. Take video and pictures of
everything in the home. Light fixtures, ceiling fans, window coverings, appliances
water softener, exterior plants, pool and spa equipment if you have them -
everything. Tenant should also video and photograph the details of any damage.
Look closely at cabinets, counters, flooring and walls to note any dents and
dings and current signs of wear and tear. Okay, I've saved my favorite tip for last.
We all know that the biggest expense in terms of repairs for a home and
utilities can relate to the air conditioning unit. The best line of
defense is to make sure that you replace these - the air filters on a regular basis.
We highly recommend that landlords, you go buy a dozen or so of these at the
beginning of the lease. Provide them to the tenant and ask the tenant to replace
them every 30 to 45 days. And tenants, if they don't provide them go get some. And
when you do, save them, and write a note on the filter. What date you replaced them.
And then if there ever is an issue with the air conditioning unit you can
prove that you did your part in taking care of it. Again, this is good for
homeowners and everybody make sure you're replacing these regularly. And if
you're a new landlord on the block - good luck! Alright, some good advice there.
Holly also says make sure to find out if your home is part of a community
association that could lead to some restrictions. And when it comes to
insurance, always double-check and make sure you have the proper coverage.

'Melrose Place' Star Jamie Luner Sued for Allegedly Drugging and Sexually Assaulting 16-Year-Old - Duration: 5:58.
'Melrose Place' Star Jamie Luner Sued for Allegedly Drugging and Sexually Assaulting 16-Year-Old
Melrose Place alum Jamie Luner was hit with $250 million lawsuit for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting a teenager back in 1998.
The 46-year-old actress was said to be assaulting Anthony Olive, who sued the actress for sexual battery and emotional distress, when he was 16 years old.
In the lawsuit, Anthony, now 30, alleged that he met Jamie for the first time at a house party she threw to celebrate the success of the show.
Because his brother knew Jamies makeup artist, it was only natural for him to be invited.
Anthony said that Jamie called him adorable. At the bash, they talked about three hours as the makeup artist poured him a Jack and coke despite him being underage.
They later went to Jamies room.
According to the suit, Jamie pulled out a small plastic bag of crystal meth from her purse and said, Its going to make you real horny. Anthony refused and asked for two Tylenols instead.
However, Jamie told him that the crystal meth was laced with them.
Anthony took the drug eventually and felt dizzy shortly after.
As he started getting sexually aroused, Jamie went to the makeup artists room to wear a kitty cat outfit.
The actress later started to undress Anthony while licking and kissing his neck, arms and chest.
The suit also claimed that both Jamie and the makeup artist performed oral sex on him.
Anthony went on saying in the suit that he ended up having sex with Jamie multiple times.
Jamie also allegedly told him to come bend me over the couch and ram me. As for Anthonys brother, he was said to be leaving the party and when he returned, he reportedly recorded Anthony and Jamie having sex.
Plaintiff is left not knowing if hes attracted to men, women or both, said the suit.
Anthony also claimed that the alleged sexual assault messed up his life and made him become an alcoholic.
Apparently, Anthony was not the only one accusing Jamie of sexual assault.
It was reported that several young men went to the LAPD with claims that Jamie sexually assaulted them.
A representative for Jamie denied the allegations.
All of these allegations are completely unfounded and we believe part of a targeted extortion scheme, the rep told TMZ.
Anthony Oliver has a history of filing lawsuits, and has filed 27 federal lawsuits in the past 8 years..

Melrose Place star Jamie Luner 'sued for $250 million' after being accused of sexually assaulting - Duration: 4:11.
Melrose Place star Jamie Luner 'sued for $250 million' after being accused of sexually assaulting 16-year-old
Jamie Luner is being sued for $250 million by a man who previously accused her of sexually assaulting him when he was 16-years-old.
Anthony Oliver claims he met Luner, then 26, during a party at her house in 1998, where they spoke for three hours before going to her room.
According to TMZ, the lawsuit states Luner pulled out a small bag of crystal meth with Anthony claiming she told him 'it's going to make you real horny'.
Oliver rejected and asked for two Tylenol pills instead, which he claims were laced with crystal meth which caused him to feel sexually aroused.
He claims Luner performed oral sex on him before placing his penis in the mouth of a make-up artist also in the room, who was a friend of Anthony's brother and had a crush on him.
Luner then allegedly had sex with Oliver multiple times, at one point telling 'come bend me over the couch and ram me'.
Oliver claims his brother also filmed them having sex when he returned to the party.
According to the lawsuit, Oliver claims the experience led him to become an alcoholic and 'not knowing if he is attracted to men, women, or both'.
It's also alleged by Oliver two other men came forward to the Los Angeles Police Department to accuse Luner of drug-induced sex.
Oliver is suing Luner for sexual battery and emotional distress.
Jamie's rep has since denied all the claims to The Wrap, stating: 'All these allegations are completely unfounded and we believe part of a targeted extortion scheme.
'Anthony Oliver has a history of filing lawsuits and has filed 27 Federal lawsuits in the past 8 years, as reported in this link from a Georgia news station.
A spokesperson for the LAPD confirmed earlier this month they have not currently opened an investigation against the Melrose Place star.
It follows Anthony having previously filed a police report against Luner in February this year, accusing her of sexual misconduct.

Fighting for Better Creative Communities — A Creator Interview with Sydette Harry - Duration: 22:32.
(upbeat synthesised music)
- Hi, I'm Jenn Schiffer.
I'm the Community Engineer at glitch.com here at Fog Creek.
Glitch is the friendly community
where you'll build the app of your dreams.
And today, I'm here talking with Sydette Harry,
Editor-at-Large at the Coral Project.
We're gonna talk a lot about community
and what she's doing in that sphere.
So, you are Editor-at-Large at the Coral Project.
- And editor of Mozilla.
- And editor of Mozilla?
- Editor, Network Mozilla, yeah.
- Awesome, so what does that mean?
- I'm responsible as the Editor-at-Large at Coral.
I started as the Community Lead,
so I was responsible for research
and looking into how you put together
and describe communities, specifically around journalism.
We were started as a partnership between the New York Times,
the Washington Post, Mozilla, and the Knight Foundation.
It originally started with how do we make better comments?
One of the things we came up with is after we started doing
our research and planning, is that comments aren't singular.
Comments are a reflection of community,
so if you want to have better comments,
you have to have better communities around journalism.
I've now moved on to editor-at-large,
so how do we talk about and do some of our research,
and with Mozilla, trying to build that journalistically
into a foundation.
How do we make a community of people
who care about internet health?
Coming from Coral, how do you make a community
about people who care about internet journalism
and journalism in general?
What are the things and the guides
that you need to make this work?
What are the things that work for communities?
And basically being in the archives and being in the crates
and going to the meetings and going, "Let's do this thing."
The slogan we have for Coral Project ended up being
Because Journalism Needs Everyone.
One of the things that is, I loathe to use it,
but the evangelization is getting people
to think about projects, specifically within tech,
that need communities.
Whatever you're building, needs a community,
because you need more than one person.
- When did the Coral Project get started, and why and how?
- It was originally thought about in 2012 or '13.
Sasha Koren, Aron Pilhofer,
various people from the Washington Post
and the New York Times looked at the comments and went,
"This is bad."
And, "What would we need
"to build tools around the comments?"
Because it's a very tech thing, "Let's build a tool."
As it got forward,
Greg Barber who's in charge of partnerships,
we started looking at that this needs to be
an interdisciplinary thing.
You cannot build your way out of sociocultural problems.
You actually have to look at their roots
and examine what they are.
They hired Andrew Losowsky, who's our Project Lead,
the General.
Then I was added as the Community Lead,
and the goal was, so we're going to create guides,
because it's great to, what happens a lot
is people ship out to tech, and the tech will fix it,
and there is an algorithm that nobody understands.
That is the fixture, but nobody knows how to use the thing,
how to adopt the things.
Also, starting to think about what works in communities
and how you bring people on,
and where are the places we can talk about that.
And that led us, I think into a lot of places
that I don't think people traditionally look for in tech,
about when they're thinking about communities.
So sports, theatre, theatre of the oppressed.
Augusto Boal was a big one for us.
Museum curation, all of that.
How do you really, when you want to bring people together,
to be together, how do you deal with that?
- So, I have worked with news sites before,
and when the comments were bad, which happens quite quickly,
one of the options was let's get rid of comments.
I know some sites have done that,
but why is that problematic?
To just get rid of comments entirely?
Why would you put the work into keeping commenting there?
- I think that's a common misconception that people have
is that people always,
because we started as a comments platform, people always go,
oh, you always want people to keep comments.
No, there's some places when we talk to them like,
please close your comments.
You are not about this life.
You are not about to put in this work,
please close these comments.
The issue that often came up with this is that
there was a close the comments.
There wasn't a, so how are we going to connect
with our community?
How are we going to help people talk to each other?
How are we going to get feedback?
Is that an email, is that a poll, is that a post?
When you are producing content for people, and more,
let's be blunt, when your business is based on the content
people produce for you, your comments, your tweets,
your posts on Instagram, Snapchat, all that,
how are people able to tell you what they need?
How are they able to see that you are listening?
How are they able to feel heard?
Those conversations didn't happen.
It's the version of when you're told to clean your room
and you just start shoving things under the bed,
and after a while if you don't actually clean the room,
the bed just starts lifting.
That's what the problem was.
Because for some things, you don't need comments.
There are certain issues where if you are holistically
considering your community,
you don't need to constantly expose people
to how terribly other people think of them.
But what you do need is a way for communities
and people to connect, and also more importantly,
correct you in how you are handling them.
- You have the guidelines, you have Talk and you have Ask.
Can you tell me about Talk and Ask?
- Talk is the comment box, so how you moderate comments,
where you put things in, how do you generate those?
Ask is our first product.
And that was the one, I think, it was very important for us
to start with and people were very confused by it.
This is how you collect user-generated content
and submissions and make polls and get things.
There was a fourth product that's just kind of built
into Talk that allows you to look for things,
and search for things as you moderate,
so that's on the moderation end.
But it comes from one of the beliefs is that the best way
to have people be interested in you,
is to be interested in them.
And one of the things that journalism I think has failed
continually at, and is still failing at in a lot of ways,
is how are you showing people that you are interested
in what they do, and interested and how they ask,
and actually actively soliciting the truth
about their lives?
And Ask, most people were telling us they were using
Google forms or SurveyMonkey.
These are all great things
but they are not for a journalistic workflow.
They are not for text.
They are for large data aggregation.
So you wanted something that kind of cut
and then put it into the way a journalist would work,
and allowed you to contact people
and allowed you to preserve identities,
and identify personal identifying information,
because these are the things
that journalists do with the people.
It's how do you create a tool that helps people
people better, in a workflow?
You wanna recognise that, and you can do something
with a text field that you can't do with a cell.
So that was what Ask was for,
and it's actually been used really well.
One of our most recent projects was a discussion
about race in Boston.
And there had been various responses
to different parts of it, but one of the things
people were so receptive to was the ability to be able to
tell their story and get feedback,
and not feel like telling their story
was preparation for battle.
And that is so often, especially for the most marginalised,
if you wanna tell the truth,
you've got to prepare for battle.
With something like Ask is you get to contribute,
you get to tell the truth.
And if you want to go forward you can,
but you also get to do the work of verification
and all the things that are important to journalism,
and protect your sources and protect your community.
- At least in the open source community,
you and I both are greatly involved
in open source communities.
We have dealt with things like licencing,
and now codes of conduct for projects are a thing,
like the Talk project has a code of conduct,
and the Apache licence.
And for Glitch, we're trying to put our best foot forward
and lead in with being a friendly community,
and so we're trying to build tools to allow that.
So we've added a feature to allow you
to add a code of conduct,
allow you to add a licence fairly easily.
But we know that that's just the first step.
What are some things that we can learn from physical,
real world communities in tech communities.
Besides, like, code of conducts have existed.
Every mall in New Jersey has a code of conduct at the door,
you know what I mean?
You're not supposed to rob or hurt people.
You go on a bus and it's like--
- We just showed our age, malls.
What are those?
Everybody's like, "What is a mall?"
- You're a Jersey girl now.
What else can we be doing?
For example, listening to our users?
What should we be doing to build tech
to give those protections to our users?
- One thing that's really important to me
whenever I have people talk about codes of conducts,
and I love OpenNews Source, their codes of conducts,
they're amazing.
Codes of conduct are almost always talked about in this way
of how do we want people to not behave?
Like, don't, do, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't.
Think of it as a do.
What do you expect people to do when you come in?
This is where I do the terrible thing
that I'm not supposed to do, but I was an athlete in school,
and forgive me, but it's kind of like if you play a sport,
you do not expect that you will always get away uninjured.
That's just not how that game works.
But you are made aware of what is and isn't in bounds,
and you are indoctrinated into a culture
and that culture can be toxic or problematic.
But you know when you hit the field,
that's where the goal is.
This is how we'll choose a time.
A lot of times when you go into comments in other places,
that's not part of it.
They don't include what do you do, how do you do it,
where is the spaces.
That is what I think a lot of tech needs to start doing
is people think the solution is tech,
when tech is the tool people will use
to create the solution.
- It's the medium.
- Yes.
How do you want people to be in that medium?
And think of that that way.
As well as you should have a code of conduct
and no longer think this is a discussion no more.
Even if you don't have it officially,
unofficially you end up with a code of conduct, so have one.
And be comfortable with it being malleable.
It is something that you're responsible for
and you might not get it right, but you have these steps
and you have them in place,
and this is how you will activate them.
And this is what you want from the community.
Not just this is the thing we have to do,
or don't be jerks, guys.
That's nice, but to me that's not where the warmth is.
The warmth is, we are here to do a thing,
and we're trying to do the thing of our best ability,
and this is how we wanna help you know
what the best looks like.
- I think that there is in a lot of tech codes of conduct,
sort of are like TLDR, don't be a jerk,
because I feel like a lot of people in the tech community
need to be explicitly told that being a jerk is a bad thing.
Because again, we see the leaders in this industry
and the people who've made apps that we use every day,
and they're known for being jerks.
And everyone's like, "Oh, I wanna be like that guy."
- And there's also everyone's definition of a jerk
isn't always the same, and especially for technology,
where we're trying to build for a world.
We've got to try and think about so how do we make it
comfortable for people to let us know
whether or not we're successful at what we're doing?
That is what I think codes of conducts are,
and that's about what communities are is,
how do we come to actions that achieve what we want,
in ways that centre the people we want in the room,
that we all can participate in?
It's not just everybody who believes in the same way,
because your version of jerk and my version of jerk,
may be different, but we can have a complicit discussion
of this is how I'd like to be addressed.
Please do not do this and that and that.
We can have that,
and we should have spaces in our communities,
and you should have a place to be able to talk about that,
and have a place where you've decided on that.
- I feel like when it comes to thinking about humans,
which is what we've ultimately forgotten about in tech,
that we're building software for humans.
A lot of people working as a consultant,
accessibility was always an afterthought,
if a thought at all for projects.
It's like, well, it seems bad for business
to allow people to be jerks in your community
and drive other people away.
It seems bad for business
to not build tech that everyone can use.
- We are, and the we, and my first question is always,
wait, wait, wait, hold on, hold up.
Who's we, fam?
Who is the we?
Let's start there.
Who do you mean by we?
Um, people.
Which people?
Uh, people who do.
Does everybody have a phone?
How far in a legacy phone is this?
Like, there's a whole thing that goes through,
and very often one of the first things
with Coral we would do is go,
so, what is your community for?
Who is your community?
And a lot of people would just kind of go,
of course, it's our readers.
And you're like, are you sure?
Or is it your subscribers?
Or is it subscribers who will comment?
It's like, that's not an easy question.
- [Jenn] Or is it your advertisers?
- Come on now.
And that's not an easy question,
and people like to pretend it is
because it makes things simpler,
and there needs to be an admission that it's not simple.
- Yeah.
And I think that I've recently learned
that you need user personas.
You need to have an idea of who your users are,
and you'll learn that there are other people
slipping into the woodwork that have been using
your technology in a different way than you had expected.
And you have to see that as an exciting challenge
to meet and not a, well, we're not gonna really
cater to them, because that doesn't really help us
hit our bottom line.
They're an edge case.
I feel like we have to go more into this.
- No more edge case.
- Yeah, exactly, like edge cases being a fake idea.
- Sara Wachter-Boettcher's Design for Real People,
and I love it, is this idea that there's no such thing
as an edge case, there's stress cases.
Because depending on where you are, end of day,
everybody's an edge case.
Like, if you are flustered and nervous,
you will miss information.
If you are looking for something,
if you don't have access to something,
if you lose your phone, if you do this, if you do that,
you are going to need something.
And if you design for that in the beginning,
you don't sit there and go, "Oh, holy crap,
"what happens when people don't have broadband?"
There's a lot of stuff now where like, oh,
we didn't understand that people don't have broadband.
I'm like, because you all are in San Francisco.
Nobody went down to Kentucky.
- Yeah, when your user sample is the people
who share a co-working space with you,
is that actually really a cross-sample
that's significant at all with the rest of your users?
- And you need to present your business in that model.
If you can make your money off of just the kinds of people
like the people who are in your co-working space,
that's a good business model.
The problem is when you say it's for everybody.
- Yeah, and I think that's the one thing
that we need to catch ourselves on in tech
is that you can be building the tool
for a small set of people, that's totally fine.
But you can't jump on a table and be like,
we're saving the world, you know?
Unless you're actually putting the work in to try
to save the world, but if you're building an app
that is for a specific group of people.
- And who are you saving the world from,
and once again, who's we?
- Exactly, yeah.
- Who is we?
- What is the future of the Coral Project?
What is in the works?
What can we see in the future?
- Here's where I get to be very proud of my team.
They are now in 23 newspapers,
and working on other projects
and integrating with other people,
and constantly developing and iterating
and it's open source, so people are joining in.
It is plugin adaptable so people pull in plugins
to do polls,
and measure civility,
and identify trolling and heat map comments,
and it's all open.
- I was gonna ask you what your hopes and dreams were,
because on the Glitch team,
we always like to talk to each other
about what our hopes and dreams
with our work and in general.
But a lot of that sounds like really good hopes and dreams
and goals, and we think of hopes and dreams not as like,
something that's a pipe dream or something like that.
They actually become our sort of goals and values.
- Dreaming is work.
- Exactly, yeah. - Dreaming is work.
And this is a conversation I have with people is that
you have to have hopes and dreams because hopes and dreams
also tell you why what you want isn't possible right now.
So I want a Ferrari.
Why don't I have a Ferrari?
Because I don't have the money.
So you have to think about what is separating you
from your dream.
Now you might go halfway down your dream
and decide you don't want it no more,
but if you want it, it has to become something
that you talk about.
And too often you get this,
"Oh, well, you're such a dreamer."
I'm like, "Yes, and?"
I'm also a worker.
These things aren't mutually exclusive.
In terms of hopes, I mean the apple pie in the sky
is that everyone get along, not get along,
but we get justice and reparations,
and an end to exploitative capitalism,
and yada, yada, yada.
You know, I was raised by a revolutionary.
But the most important thing is that we give people
and we build things for people
to find the best uses for their potential.
And give them the space to find resources
that aren't given to them,
and continue to build a tech landscape
that allows for that more than the other thing.
I mean, there are things I want, but they're, I think,
for me what has been most amazing for tech
is the time when I've gotten to be my best self,
and I've gotten the space to be my best self.
I think that to me is a better goal
than a lot of the larger ones.
Am I giving the space, am I giving the tools,
am I giving the resources
for people to be their best selves?
And if they don't wanna be their best selves, I got that.
I'll back myself up, I'm good on that.
But with journalism and all of these things,
especially through Coral and Codes of Comment,
is how do we provide the resources and tools for people
to do that, and continue to build them in a way that allows
them to have good examples to build for themselves?
The biggest hope and dream's that it stops
being a couple of people in a room talking about a thing,
and we're gonna save it and it starts being the world
looking at how do we want to communicate with each other?
How do we want to actually deal with this space
as part of our lives?
And that become the focus of what we talk about with tech,
as a tool in the world, and not as the 600 guys
making way too much money in small sectors of the world.
But more like, who are the people that are putting
pedometers on cows,
and he's helping save the dairy industry?
Who are the peoples that are doing microlending
so that my friend's family business for 30 years
gets to stay on its feet?
What is the newspaper that started up
in my personal neighbourhood because the kids didn't believe
that they were being covered,
but they had Adobe, a Mac and an internet connection,
so they have a newspaper?
How do we make those moments possible,
and how do we make them possible
as many disciplines and things as we can?
That's my ongoing dream.
It doesn't have a close.
It's like, okay, we got here.
We can do better?
Can we do it again?
Can we do it again?
That's the thing.
I actually enjoy it.
I really do.
So that to me is the hope of tech.
And that's the flip side of the,
"Okay, I really want to fight everyone."
But there is something amazing when you see someone go,
"Look guys, I made my first news.
"I made my first zine.
"I made my first song."
And you watch people have this relationship
where it goes from, this is a thing that other people do,
to this is part of my life.
If we can get as many people as possible to that moment,
super excited.
- [Jenn] Yeah, I like the idea of the future being thinking,
"Oh, look how far we've come," not,
"Oh God, what have we done?"
Right now, we're at, "Oh God, what have we done?"
And so, yeah.
My hopes and dreams are aligned with yours there.
But I do want to say thank you for--
- Thank you for having me.
- Yeah, thank you for coming here.
Thank you for your work on the Coral Project and at Mozilla.
And thank you for fighting,
'cause that's where we need to be at right now.
- We always talk about love as this soft and beautiful,
wonderful emotion, and I say that is true.
But the other side about love is it's defence.
If you love something, you want it to continue living,
and there is no greater love
than ensuring someone's survival.
And sometimes ensuring someone's survival is a fight,
and it's very uncomfortable.
We all get, "Eh, ooh, but I, eh, eh, eh."
And I think sometimes if you are really met with someone
that does not want to ensure the survival of what you love,
you have to fight.
Okay.
We can make up after a fight.
But if we gotta have a fight, gotta have a fight.
