IT's worth listening to the NY Times chief data scientist Dr. Chris Wiggins here which occurred earlier today 10/4/18 I think - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Data  and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Journalism  and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Marketing  and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Internet_Studies … and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Computer_Science … ~ @WUaSPress  ~

NYTs' chief technologist:

Chris Wiggins begins discussion with:

Chris Wiggins begins discussion with: NYTs' separation of Church (the church is the craft of journalism) and State (the technology side - he's on the state side of the NYTs, but as a Columbia Univ Prof is on its Church side ) ... with much relevance for my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project ...

18:25
"People forget that the carriers know where you are all the time and they need to know in order to deliver service" ... "If you're carrying a phone, you're probably transmitting your location ..."


18:00
Chris:
"There's really a dynamic relationship between people, technology and trust"


17:15
Data driven products and why

~13:00
"What you can build and what you can track, and then convincing people that you can charge for that ... "

Giant battle going on ... between Tech companies and Media companies about your data ... and the end user ... "Do you worry that there are the data haves and the data have nots?"

Chris:
"On the company level? "

Costa:
"On the company level and on the individual level ..."

Individuals don't have a good sense of how they're datas used and how it's being trafficked ...


"Goes back to Eben Moglen in 2010 - Free spying on you all the time ..."

8:30
Chris:
"Litigation and education are also weapons at our disposal "


Costa:
You have another day job - as professor at Columbia University, and there you're more on the 'church" side of things

Chris:
Yea, that's right ... I co-teach a class, where I'm a history fan .... but he's a professional historian ...


6:50
Persuasion algorithms - "The way our realities now are constant being jammed by persuasion technologies"

5:15
"Everybody has some opportunities to learn critical facilities with regard to data ... "


"I like this word data, because it comes from the word "to give" ... how did you get your data?


Costa:
What concerns you?

2:50
Chris:
the way our view of realities are shaped by people who want to monetize our attention ...

This has been done since at least the 1970s, probably earlier ...

Ads ...


UNIX ... inspires him ... built by ancient wizards from the 1970s ... (probably security-wise too)

... much relevance for my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project (in "Naked Harbin Ethnography," I argue for the information side of virtual worlds, whereas Tom Boellstorff in "Coming of Age in Second Life" argues for the Craft-as-Techne side of virtual worlds) ...

See, for example, a UC Berkeley Anthropology TSWG talk I gave in 2012:

Blue borage: 4th Harbin Hot Springs' actual-virtual ethnographic talk on 2/23/2018 at UC Berkeley TSWG this Friday.

If I were teaching my "Info Tech, Network Soc & Global Univ" -  http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - class at Stanford, I'd be very interested in inviting Margrethe Vestager to give a talk in my course.

Would like to start traveling soon for 4 months per year to beautiful places around the world ... but on with publishing my 3rd book ... and in the Poetry Press at World University and School ... But would love to create too soon-ish a realistic virtual Harbin for visiting and soaking in ... with a bit of traveling beforehand as part of hanging out there virtually ... probably in a digital mask from one's bath tub ... and eventually for doing brain research on happiness / and with many WUaS learners also doing such brain research ... so we can get statistically significant sample sizes ... 1000 in any given study? (Would entail having a much larger pool of people to draw on for studies:).
