    1. Controlling the map view

      There is a comprehensive guide on how to use the map. I haven't seen this in the other projects we've looked at, and I think it's a considerate touch. It makes sense, considering how important a visualization of the map is to understanding redlining.

      Classic "don't judge a book by its cover" argument. What makes the perivous lines more interesting is how advanced technology and social media have made it easier than ever for people to be deceived. The anecdote about the man in the gray truck highlights how easily accessible information can be used to mislead others.

    2. Be careful not to let it box you in. Your initial observation should be as unbiased and unlimited as possible. Ifa manager is fix- ated on following a form for evaluating an employee’s punctuality or profitability, she might miss other telling benchmarks such as the em- ployee’s attire, demeanor, or body language. Look beyond the list. Focusing all of our attention on benchmarks and checking off boxes will inhibit a complete and accurate analysis from the start. This is one reason why I don’t allow participants in my class to read the labels next to works of art when we’re in a museum and why I don’t mention the name of the artist or work in this book right away: because labels shape opinions and create prejudice.

      The idea of having a completely unbiased opinion is interesting because it's almost impossible to have one. Even if the author's identity or the purpose behind the piece is unknown, it's difficult to form an opinion that isnt influenced in some shape or form by personal bias. It speaks to how our experiences and beliefs inevitably shape how we process information.

      This is an important skill for law enforcement officers to have, which connects back to the anecdote on the first page about the importance of attention to detail. In high-stakes situations like the ones police officers might face, being highly observant can be beneficial, as it can reduce misjudgments and unnecessary violence.

      I think this is a really interesting way to express the idea that our actions do, in fact, impact the lives of those around us. Especially through our perceptions and how closely we observe the world and things around us

    1. ignore the well‐intentioned “voices of reason” that will always argue for interpretingscholarly or artistic fair use in the most restrictive manner

      a common theme in the manifesto is the effort to limit restrictions and boundaries on how dh is discussed and understood

    2. Digital humanists defend the rights of content makers, whether authors, musicians, coders, designers, orartists, to exert control over their creations and to avoid unauthorized exploitation; but this controlmustn’t compromise the freedom to rework, critique, and use for purposes of research and education.Intellectual property must open up, not close down the intellect and proprius

      its important to balance people's rights to their intellectual property while also making the work available for further research and educational use

    3. We further reject the phrase to the degree that it suggests that thehumanities are being modified by the digital, as it were, “from the outside”with the digital leading and the Humanities following. On the contrary, ourvision is of a world of fusions and frictions, in which the development anddeployment of technologies, and the sorts of research questions, demands,and imaginative work that characterize the arts and Humanities merge.

      digital technology and the humanities are not separate, instead they are intertwined and influence each other

    1. “People aren’t looking for ways to not contribute to their community,” Isenberg said. “It’s just that cash allows them to name for themselves what that looks like for their lives.”

      exactly, plenty of people want to contribute, and like we've seen in the article, have ambition and goals. but are held back by lack of resources or responsibilities that make it too expensive to pursue anything else

    2. One participant in the $1,000-a-month group said that during the study, she took a pay cut for an entry-level position with significant promotion opportunities.

      Agency is just as important as the money itself here. I think it was important to let people choose how to spend the money instead of setting strict restrictions.

    3. The money also affected how much medical care people sought, how much they considered entrepreneurship or additional schooling and even the kinds of jobs they took

      the money gave people access to opportunities and resources they might not have had access to before.

    4. Some of the volunteers told the researchers that the money allowed them to stop living paycheck to paycheck and start imagining

      this was a recurring idea in the experiment, people having the freedom to no longer live paycheck to paycheck gave them room to have lives outside of just working and paying bills
