    1. clip of a father in South Korea commenting on the removal of once-President Park Geun-hye, only to be interrupted on live TV by his kids breaking into his home office.

      This is hilarious!

    1. As people age, do you have any advice for them as they get older?

      This is a great question. She obviously planned the interview ahead of time by having good questions ready. She knew what she wanted to learn more about and was sure to ask pointed questions about it. This particular question is interesting since only an elderly person like James can answer it. I think that it is a question that few people think about but everyone is interesting in the answer once they hear it. The interviewer is a great listener and she doesn't assume that she knows the answer even though she knows her grandfather well.

    2. What are the keys to a happy marriage

      This is a big question. She uses the technique of asking easy questions and deeper ones. By asking about things from his past, easy questions and then asks this more philosophical ones, she helps the interview be relaxed but interesting. This is a good technique as far as mixing the more simple and more deep questions.

    1. As far as receiving forgiveness from you–sometimes I still don’t know how to take it because I haven’t totally forgiven myself yet. It’s something that I’m learning from you – I won’t say that I have learned yet – because it’s still a process that I’m going through.

      Without asking any questions, she is able to get Oshea to talk about his feelings by listening well and simply commenting a little based on his responses. This is good, but I think that if she had asked a question or two, it could have been even more interesting. I would suggest a question like: How do you deal with challenges in your daily life? How have you changed since your time in jail? I think that a mix of question/answer and non-planned conversation is the best technique for my interview.

    2. n. I wanted to know if you were in the same mindset of what I remembered from court, where I wanted to go over and hurt you. But you were not that 16-year-old. You were a grown man. I shared with you about my son.

      This is a conversation and not an interview, so it is an interesting comparison with other classic interviews. There are no questions asked, but the two have a history together, so they talk about their relationship. Mary did a good job not answering for him, interrupting or assuming that she knew what he wanted to say since she knew so much about him. This may be helpful to me as I interview my coach, since I will be asking questions, but I can also be open to the conversation. It doesn't have to involve questions only. We can chat about things too.

    1. There was a culture then, almost a requirement, that one needed to build platforms and contexts (social or political) to support one’s thesis, and then material practice would follow. These issues were pressing, because by this time I had begun to teach at Cooper Union. I was negotiating between promoting a rigorous painting model and a new context—conversations with students and colleagues about contemporary art issues and institutional critique. So it was a very complicated time for me as an educator, to figure out how to insist on a conversation about painting rigor in relation to contemporary art. I continued to go the way that I needed to with my own work, both protecting it from the institutional framework and furthering my ideas about painting in school and in the studio—it was a tough, amazing time.

    1. End-to-end encryption is coming shortly to clients for both 1:1 and group chats to protect user data stored on servers, using the Olm cryptographic ratchet implementation.

      This would also answer another point of criticism for the redecentralize interview.

    2. options for decentralising or migrating user accounts between multiple servers

      This relates to a point of criticism within the redecentralize interview.

    1. my sermons seven

      In interview with Tyler Wilcox in 2009, Alasdair Roberts referred to the

      specifically Jungian references to the "sermons seven" and mandalas... it's like a quest song against conflict and towards individuation. I know a lot of people with strong political or religious convictions whose musical and artistic practice is guided by that – in some ways I envy that kind of certitude, but I suppose my thing is always about flexibility, multiplicity, confusion wanting to reflect the turmoil of reality... always trying to remember that the oar in the ocean is a winnowing fan on dry land.'
