As for other behaviors, I still test myself when I have symptoms or if I’m going to be in close contact with people I know to be vulnerable. Two negative tests 24-48 hours apart still reassure me that I don’t have Covid (or that, if I do, I’m not currently infectious). (15/25)

And what are these principles? Simply put, systems should work, they shouldn't discriminate, they shouldn't use data indiscriminately, they should be visible and easy to understand, and they shouldn't eliminate human interlocutors. 7/n

From 1994: "The future belongs to neither the conduit or content players, but those who control the filtering, searching, and sense-making tools we will rely on to navigate through the expanses of cyberspace." Again, 1994.

“When you build a thing you cannot merely build that thing in isolation, but must also repair the world around it… so that the larger world at that one place becomes more coherent, and …takes its place in the web of nature.”
— Christopher Alexander (A Pattern Language, 1977)

Lots of people hate context. They really do. It makes things too complicated and muddy. Complicated and muddy is what the world IS though. Whether we like it or not.

“The frequency of context-destruction is no accident. Twitter rewards high-context speech, and then gives us the perfect tool to decontextualize that speech. “

Context, not content, is king. Commerce, not content, is queen (and the queen is the true ruler, if you ain't know). Content today is just their spoiled, acne-riddled, hormonally crazed, hyper-stimulated teenaged son.
