If data collected at Hudson Yards is subject to loosely regulated mining, what about the data as a physical resource, which will require a material infrastructure for its storage and management? It seems that’s another test bed.
So confused as to how this is going to connect to a big data pool. Is it because many people will be using their cellphone devices here? I dont get it.

New York as a whole is "this". Just in my opinion
and collect stormwater in a 60,000-gallon storage tank, which will be protected from the heat of subterranean trains by a network of tubes that circulate chilled liquid.
And then what? What's the water going to be used for?
Related recruited a team of prominent designers, each charged with infusing his or her sensibility.
Awesome to see that they had that many right hands in the cookie jar. Instead of older white men who think they know it all. New age, New era
In 2008, after yet another development deal fell through, the MTA awarded a contract to the partners who now control the site, Related Companies and Oxford Properties.
True Real Estate Power here. As someone who's career is in Syndication, take it from me, these two families/companies have POWER.
“the capstone of the Bloomberg administration’s urban and economic development strategy and a microcosm of the strategy itself.” Setting aside the Olympics stadium, the mayor promised to build “the city’s next great high-end office district.”
If the reason was to appeal to FIDI in the beginning, I believe Stephen Ross would've pulled it off sooner.
forlorn
pitifully sad and abandoned or lonely.
“quantified community,” a “fully instrumented” testing ground for applied urban data science.
So basically the new stomping grounds for Google, FB, and Amazon, perhaps? I don't even know how to dissect it properly but I will keep the comment in mind.

So basically they understood how twitter works. Orange man tweets (implications) and then we all get involved by either speaking on the topic or trying to understand where the heck this guy is even coming from.

Am I reading this wrong or is this stating that unless we see eye to eye on a certain topic, due to let's say religion, we can't come to a good settlement. If so, this sucks and I don't believe this is true. If not, forgive me for misunderstanding.
Thedefinitionof apublicprovidedbyLippmannandDeweyisobviouslycompletelydifferentfromthemoderndefinitionof thedemocraticcommunitythatwasdiscussedabove.
I'd want to highlight this because taking the time in consideration, I believe that only men's opinions played a true value. Then again I can be wrong.
If platform coopera-tives can balance those two imperatives—promoting more streamlined services while respecting fair labor practices and community norms and obligations—they may well be able to succeed
I believe they'll succeed without respecting fair labor laws (as sad as it may sound) but if they have any dignity, we can all succeed together. Humans and Capitalists.

hermeneutics
the branch of knowledge that deals with interpretation, especially of the Bible or literary texts.
satisfaction created by a fitting con-clusion can beguile us into crediting a story, leading us to accept too readily that it has achieved its explanatory aims.
We saw this with social media. At first it was great, and we had a perception behind how good it is for us but now we're starting to see that it's really not.

Because we have built our society, certainly liberal democracy with elections and the free market and so forth, on philosophical ideas from the 18th century which are simply incompatible not just with the scientific findings of the 21st century but above all with the technology we now have at our disposal.
DING!
the human mind is not the total secure enclave root of authority that we think it is
I believe that we'd like to think this is 100% true but sadly, we reflect other wise sometimes

realigning technology with a clear-eyed model of human nature.
I'm curious to know who created the eye model of human nature of begin with. How do we know we're aligning it to all of our needs?
We need new synthetic declarations to define and supportother variants of information capitalism that participate in the socialorder, value people, and reflect democratic principles. New syntheticdeclarations can provide the framework for a new kind of doublemovement appropriate to our time.
Really can't believe we, as the world, understand what information capitalism really means. Things have changed so much but it's just like any change, to much of anything is not good. It can cause a butterfly effect very easily in my opinion.

Political marketing is the essential means towin political competition in democratic poli-tics.

Super super sad but true. Anytime politics is involved, we're basically on the verge of losing or being controlled
We are required to blindly trust the financial system because there are no alternatives on offer.

rightly questioned as an obvious route whereby Facebook can control and discriminate access to the internet by any way they deem fit.
Not saying I agree with it being controlled by FB alone, but someone has to control it. So in all honesty, we're supposed to say FB is def a no go, let the gov't control it! They will do the right thing......I mean, I guess?
revolution
I think a revolution is such a strong word. All though there are huge numbers being flashed here who are pro crypto, I don't know if we can say that it will indeed flame and overthrow and type of power in place today.
Speaking to the Association of National Advertisers in October 2005, EricSchmidt, Google’s CEO, observed that of the 5,000 terabytes of informationin the world, only 170 terabytes had been indexed. (A terabyteis about a tril-lion bytes.) That’s just a bit more than 3%, so 97% was not included. Anotherestimate puts the amount of indexed information at only .02% of the size ofthe databases and documents reachable via the Web.
Literally like the ocean and how we have yet to have scratched the surface on how much we've explored.

The Web has changed drasticallysince the mid-1990s
In the mid 90's I remember being ecstatic to have gotten "Encarta 95" which was an encyclopedia in a CD form. I used it for all of my projects/reports and although it was basically a small library of its own, it was limited resource. Fast forward to 98-2000, just 3-4 years after, the Encarta CD was collecting dust. That's true drastic change.
AppleII
Apple two was designed and created by Steve Jobs and Steve "Woz" Wozniak. It released in 1977 and it's introductory price was around $1300. It didn't come with a mouse. The mouse was introduced a few years later when Steve Job's got the idea from Xerox.
fanciful
(of a person or their thoughts and ideas) over imaginative and unrealistic.
In the days when music was distributedon audio tape, teenagers were not prosecuted for making copies of songs,because the copies weren’t as good as the originals, and copies of copieswould be even worse. The reason that thousands of people are today receiv-ing threats from the music and movie industries is that their copies are per-fect—not just as good as the original, but identical to the original, so thateven the notion of “original” is meaningless.
I don't believe this concept still applies today. Whether it's a good copy or not, I don't think the multi-media companies will stand for it. But then again, this may explain why on YouTube/SoundCloud, someone can post a song of an artist and slow it down/speed it up and it won't be taken down. At least from what I've seen.
bank’s computer found that transfers of smaller sums formed a suspiciouspattern. The AML rules exist to fight terrorism and organized crime. But whilethe computer was monitoring small banking transactions in search ofbig-time crimes, it exposed a simple payment for services rendered thatbrought down the Governor.
I've been in banking for 11+ years now. #FunFact When I first got into banking it was the tellers job to notice this pattern. The pattern of someone keeping the activity under $10k, to not raise any red flags. However, the systems weren't universal. So a "smart scammer", if you will, would go into one branch, do a transaction of $9k (under $10k) then walk right down the street to another branch and transact another $9k. Tellers didn't have a shot because it would take 2-3 business days for a transaction to post. Banking has obviously come a long way from then. Just ask the Governor in this reading.
