Quote by -Bell Hooks
To live fixated on the future is to engage in psychological denial. It is a form of psychic violence that prepares us to accept the violence needed to ensure the maintenance of imperialist, future-oriented society.
Quote by -Bell Hooks
I can be standing in Barneys with my coat and purse and my selections, and some white woman will say, 'Can you get this in my size?' What she sees is a black woman, and her service button goes off.
Quote by -Bell Hooks
The ethic of liberal individualism has so deeply permeated the psyches of blacks... of all classes that we have little support for a political ethic of communalism that promotes the sharing of resources.
Quote by -Bell Hooks
Whenever women struggle with breast cancer and face better care than ever, that's feminism.
Quote by -Bell Hooks
An often-repeated assertion in the body of film criticism I have written is the assertion that movies do not just mirror the culture of any given time; they also create it.
Quote by -Bell Hooks
The institutionalization of Black Studies, Feminist Studies, all of these things, led to a sense that the struggle was over for a lot of people and that one did not have to continue the personal consciousness-raising and changing of one's viewpoint.
Quote by -Bell Hooks
Certainly we can end racism with love. We can demand that the federal government change its emphasis on racial distinction.
Quote by -Bell Hooks
A major part of love is commitment. If we are committed to someone, if I'm committed to loving you, then it's not possible for me to 'fall out of love.'
Quote by -Bell Hooks
I don't think you can hate anything that you know intimately. There is no fine line separating love from hate because there's a deep chasm separating love from hate.
Quote by -Bell Hooks
The technology, called near-field communication, involves a microchip that can send and receive data across very short distances, about four inches. Instead of swiping a credit card, you hold your phone near a reader and let the data zip between the two devices.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
Nvidia's CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, is an engineer and a chip designer. He cofounded Nvidia and still runs it like a startup.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
If we didn't have Net neutrality, carriers could do things like penalize companies that use a lot of bandwidth or create high-speed lanes and charge Internet companies extra fees to send their stuff over them. That would give an advantage to big companies and make life harder for startups.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
To be sure, robotics are not the only job killers out there, with outsourcing stealing far more gigs than automation.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
Amid all the job losses of the Great Recession, there is one category of worker that the economic disruption has been good for: nonhumans.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
You can crank out Bitcoins on a PC, but it's an incredibly computer-intensive task, and it will keep getting harder as the number of Bitcoins in existence increases. Some people have pooled together hundreds of machines to 'mine' Bitcoins. Most folks, however, just buy them on an exchange.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
People who write about technology love to huff and puff and hyperbolize. The fate of the entire world seems to hang on every move made by Microsoft or Google or Apple. Every new smart phone gets billed as a potential 'iPhone killer,' while every new product from Apple represents the dawn of a new era. It's ridiculous - and exhausting.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
What if the Big Three automakers made products that were simple and easy to use - imagine a car with a user interface made by Apple - while also constantly trying to push the state of the art? What if they constantly sought out new technologies and ideas, and incorporated them into their products?
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
Hubspot's leaders were not heroes but rather a pack of sales and marketing charlatans who spun a good story about magical transformation technology and got rich by selling shares in a company that still has never turned a profit.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
The iPhone is like 'omakase', the style of sushi where the chef chooses what you're going to eat, and might even tell you how to eat it - no wasabi allowed on this, no soy sauce allowed on that. Definitely no California rolls.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
PayPal claims it can help merchants expand into international markets; its system makes it easier to do business with customers in multiple countries, for example, by handling tricky stuff like currency conversions automatically.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
To make a vehicle autonomous, you need to gather massive streams of data from loads of sensors and cameras and process that data on the fly so that the car can 'see' what's around it.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
You realize that if you're in the media business, technology is fundamentally what's driving the change in that business.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
Facebook's position with rival tech companies boils down to this: if you want access to all the information we've collected, strike a deal with us.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
If a developer wants to sell something via an iPad app - it's called an 'in-app purchase' - the transaction must go through Apple, which keeps 30 percent of the money and passes 70 percent on to the developer.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
Instead of inventing a gobbledygook password, you join three simple words that come from a thought known only to you. If one day you were driving to work and ran over a frog that ended up flat, you might choose 'frog work flat.'
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
The world of online marketing, where HubSpot operates, though, has a reputation for being kind of grubby. Our customers include people who make a living bombarding people with email offers or gaming Google's search algorithm or figuring out which kind of misleading subject line is most likely to trick someone into opening a message.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
There are too many ways that a startup gig can go sideways. If the startup won't agree to hefty severance, pass.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
The Kindle app runs on iPads, BlackBerry, and Android devices, so you can read your books wherever you want; with Apple, you're locked into Apple devices.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
I was a technology reporter. And I think everybody who covers tech at some point or another feels like a little kid with their face pressed against the glass looking in at the candy shop and going, 'Wow, it looks so cool and so much fun.'
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
There are people who do things in tech that have the same skill sets that journalists have. They write, they edit, they put out press releases.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
I want to get in on how the media business is changing, how people are telling stories in new ways.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
People in startup-land live inside it. They see themselves as really good people even when they're doing something that's very bad. There's a huge disconnect from reality in the tech world.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
I wanted to write a book about what it's like to be 50 and trying to reinvent yourself - that struggle. There are all these books and inspirational speakers talking about being a lifelong learner, and it's so great to reinvent yourself, the brand of you. And I wanted to say, you know, it's not like that. It's actually really painful.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
My role on 'Silicon Valley' was so small that I didn't have a lot of influence anyway in the show. There are four guys who really write that show and run that show and then six or eight hanging out in a room kicking in a few bits.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
I think the issues around diversity of all kinds are really a huge problem in the startup world.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
I guess I always had made some assumptions about what it would be like to work in a tech company, and some were right, and some were wrong. I had a lot of, looking back on it, now naive ideas about how companies build their brands, and a lot of those notions I ended up realizing were kind of wrong.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
There are two types of young people - the partiers and the people who wanted a sense of purpose in their life.
Quote by -Daniel Lyons
I was drawn to journalism as a young guy because I felt like there was some purpose to it, not always but sometimes.
