HSC1 Lesson 1 Part 1

Note.

As we play these games. Do what you're comfortable with. It's really weird material. Pretty much all of the lessons are really weird and that they combine very intellectual stuff with personal stuff. Also, it’s a weird mix of sometimes like performing for each other or telling stories and sometimes getting very analytic about exactly what was said. Just get ready for that and also, if something's too personal, just because somebody else does something personal, you don't have to, stuff like that.

Everything and Nothing (edit) :: J. L. Borges

There was no one in him; behind his face (which even in the poor paintings of the period is unlike any other) and his words, which were copious, imaginative, and emotional, there was nothing but a little chill, a dream not dreamed by anyone.

[Remind you of anyone?]

Abstract: New protocols and data exchange formats are presented to address issues in link recommendation and “feeds” relevant to users' social, location-based, and time-based situations. The aim is to create a broader, more inclusive, and more user-driven ecosystem around recommender systems and feeds. A new HTTP header ("X-Situation") is proposed, along with a cryptographic proof format ("application/relevance-claim+json") for content providers / activity providers to publish traffic and review data that establishes contextual relevance for use by recommenders. Political avenues for achieving adoption are discussed. One application regards an open web response to facebook newsfeed. (v0.3.3, parts still naive)
