One of the tenets at Google[x], she said, is to offer two-thirds “yes and” feedback and one-third “yes but” feedback; in other words, people aren’t supposed to say no, and they’re not supposed to go overboard with their criticism. Another is to move quickly. Apparently the first prototype of Google Glass was built in about 1.5 hours. Yet another is bringing together diverse minds, meaning that she wants Google to be “the best company for women and minorities” not to mention “gays, lesbians, different races, different walks of life.”

Nov 2013 – BetaTalk: Open NY, the state’s data team, & NYC Code for America Fellows
Nov’s 2013 BetaTalk: Open NY, the state’s data team, & NYC Code for America Fellows.
This is going to be a really exciting night! Two great teams who have two amazing stories!
For the night, we’re going to start off with the Open NY team introducing themselves and talking about their goals, short term objectives, and then do a bit of q/a. Then, we will hear from NYC’s Code for America fellows. They will talk about their project and what it was like to be a CfA fellow. Afterward, both teams will be around for personal questions.
Schedule: Doors open at 6:30. Event starts promptly at 7:00 PM.
Light snacks and refreshments will be served.

Meet Open New York, NY State’s Open Data team.
Come and meet the the team that powers New York’s Open Data Portal. This team is bringing together local, state and federal data in one place. Additionally, they are looking to be a platform to open and liberate municipal data across New York.
Code for America Fellows – New York City.
In 2013, The City of New York partnered with Code for America to enlist a team of fellows to build technology to address criminal justice issues. The fellowship was sponsored by the Mayor’s Office of the Criminal Justice Coordinator and the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications. Support and funding were provided by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation and Blue Ridge Foundation.
Thanks to our hosts DoSomething.org
DoSomething.org is the country’s largest not-for-profit for young people and social change. We have 2,215,655 members (and counting!) who kick ass on causes they care about. Bullying. Animal cruelty. Homelessness. Cancer. The list goes on. DoSomething.org spearheads national campaigns so 13- to 25-year-olds can make an impact – without ever needing money, an adult, or a car. Over 2.4 million people took action through DoSomething.org in 2012. Why? Because apathy sucks.
But rebuild it they did. Once it was in flying shape the base commander congratulated them and said he’d find a new crew to fly it. Not surprisingly, Zeamer and his crew took exception to this idea, and according Walt Krell the crew slept in their airplane, having loudly announced that the 50 caliber machine guns were kept loaded in case anyone came around to ‘borrow’ it. There was a severe shortage of planes, so the base commander ignored the mutiny and let the crew fly – but generally expected them to take on missions that no one else wanted.
Two engineers with close ties to Google exploded in profanity when they saw the drawing. “I hope you publish this,” one of them said.
We have modified Banksy’s ‘Protester’ to show that the stereotypical violent protester is often an undercover cop,” said Keegan Stephan, organizer with Right of Way. “And we have expanded that message to show that the NYPD facilitates many types of violence. Here, we are highlighting their participation in traffic violence. Off-duty cops are driving drunk and killing New Yorkers; undercover cops are riding with motorcycle gangs that speed, ride recklessly, and worse; and on-duty cops almost always declare deadly drivers faultless and instead blame their victims. We need a wholesale shift in the NYPD’s attitude toward violence.
I recently asked Vaclav Havel about his admiration for the American rock star Lou Reed. He replied that it was impossible to overstate the importance of rock music for the Czech resistance during the years of darkness between the Prague Spring and the collapse of communism.
