The progressive integration of new technologies in our economy amounts to a paradigm shift with a profound impact on the context and content of work.
Every life of a character is within a context. If I write detached from a social and political background, my story looks like a soap opera where everybody is indoors, not working and living off their emotions.
In prose, if you forget a line, you can say something else in the same context.
Russia is opposed to the proliferation of mass destruction weapons, including nuclear weapons, and in this context we call upon our Iranian friends to abandon the uranium enrichment programme.
I do believe very strongly that all of us and all of the other things in the context of our planet with Mother Nature, all of these things absolutely have a profound effect.
Books provide context and allow you to think about things over time. Film is like writing haiku; there is an immense amount of pleasure in paring down and paring down. But it isn’t the same.
It’s alright to make an actor sing if the director already has an ideal sequence in his film. But I am totally against bringing in actors to sing in every film without any context and just for marketing purposes.
Formula 1 has to be more and more also a laboratory, a centre of advanced research for innovative technologies for tomorrow’s cars. The KERS is very important in this context, and Ferrari as a manufacturer had, and has, extraordinary support in Formula 1.
I think everyone’s experience with a terminal disease is so deeply personal and unique to the person, the context in which they’re living and the relationships that they have.
If I just track Shang-Chi’s journey in the context of table tennis in my life, it actually fits perfectly, and that’s why I was able to sink into the character so, so seamlessly.
Now, whenever you read any historical document, you always evaluate it in light of the historical context.
Performing is just standing up there and doing something. Performance takes on an edge to it. It has a more dramatic context.
A Jewish food is one that is almost sanctified, either by its repeated use or use within the holidays or rituals. So food that may have not been Jewish at one point can become Jewish within the cultural context.
Friends are sometimes a big help when they share your feelings. In the context of decisions, the friends who will serve you best are those who understand your feelings but are not overly impressed by them.
In archaeology, context is everything. Objects allow us to reconstruct the past. Taking artifacts from a temple or an ancient private house is like emptying out a time capsule.
It’s a wonderful thing to make work that is unadorned either by context, framing or label, that can exist in the changing conditions of light, weather, wind.
To understand the limits and opportunities of algorithms in the context of artistic creation, we need to understand that the latter usually consists of three elements: discovery, production, and recommendation.
The term ‘cyberutopian’ tends to be used only in the context of critique. Calling someone a cyberutopian implies that he or she has an unrealistic and naively overinflated sense of what technology makes possible and an insufficient understanding of the forces that govern societies.
I think it’s a really big deal to be able to meet people outside the context of something like a conference room or someplace where everything feels like it’s formal talk.
My favorite topical tweets are the ones that put a tweet in context so it illuminates a deeper truth or societal trend.
I am interested in seeing how a certain situation can develop with potential accidents. First, I am inspired by the acts of potential collaborators. It tends to be an action they have already done in a different context. I am very clear about the rules of the game, but once it’s launched, I don’t intervene at all.
In legal language, a covenant generally denotes an agreement between two or more parties. But in a religious context, a covenant is much more significant. It is a sacred promise with God. He fixes the terms.
There should be no boundaries in your relationship with sound. Often it’s not about the music itself but the context in which you hear the music. For instance, listening to a piece of classical music in a film you love often changes your perception of it entirely.
As anyone who has watched Time Team will know, the context is all in archaeology.
The world isn’t fast-paced, it’s frenetic. People have to be managers of themselves. Time has been managing itself for 15 billion years; we have to manage ourselves in the context of time.
Culture is an output of a bunch of inputs that have to come together the right way. Specifically, it is the collision of people and their context, how they interact with each other in that context, and then how that context evolves based on those interactions as they multiply.
Today, we can see with our own eyes what global warming is doing. In that context it becomes truly irresponsible, if not immoral, for us not to do something.
I love taking things out of context and playing with them and chopping up rules.
You have to laugh at things in order to let them be what they truly are. Because nothing is only sad. Nothing is only funny. There’s context to all of those things.
Before recording technology existed, you could not separate music from its social context.
An experimental idea doesn’t have to be separated from a mainstream context. The really exciting thing is where those two things are together. That’s where you can get real change.
It’s no longer just reporting the headlines of the day, but trying to put the headlines into some context and to add some perspective into what they mean.
Online one day, you log in, and you realise, ‘This is not me.’ Everything you’re posting, you’re doing it in the context of everything you’ve posted before. Let’s delete everything, save the stuff that’s important, and then you only have to organise the one per cent that’s worth keeping.
I guess the more serious you play something, if the context is funny, then it will be funny and it doesn’t really require you to be necessarily, explicitly humorous, or silly.
My dream, dream acquisition would probably be a Twombly chalkboard. I’ve been fortunate to see one or two in a private context, and I think it’s just sort of quintessentially brilliant, timeless, modern.
I don’t know, a lot of people go crazy about ‘Breaking Bad,’ but I don’t like the soap opera aspect of it and only following one character. I like the context to all of it, all the pieces, like ‘The Wire.’ It’s more about the state of things; it’s not about the narrative of a person.
When Ron Howard does ‘Rush,’ he has to learn and steep himself in F1 culture and European racing culture, and that’s part of the fun of the gig. You learn to learn. Your real skill as a director is being a learner and an observer. You’re constantly learning another thing in context.
By any measure, CapitalSource outperformed both our direct competitors and the financial services industry in general, particularly in the context of the near collapse of the financial services industry where 19 of the 20 largest financial institutions in the country either failed or were bailed out by the government.
I love the derby because of the banter and rivalry. If you live outside of Manchester, you can take it out of context sometimes, where you can think it’s all hate, and I don’t think it is.
We win with facts that are well expressed and frequently communicated; we lose with silence and indifference to the broader social context.
In a personal context, I’m not in the ground, and I’m not in an institution. So I guess I’m doing pretty good.
If you’ve been playing for a few years, especially in a group context, you’ll see if you have the ability or the passion to want to carry on. It’s something that you have to be dedicated to and you’ve got to love, no matter what happens.
For more than fifty years, the United States pursued a policy of isolating and pressuring Cuba. While the policy was rooted in the context of the Cold War, our efforts continued long after the rest of the world had changed.
Monetary policy ultimately must be conducted in a pragmatic manner that relies not on any particular indicator or model but, instead, reflects an ongoing assessment of a wide range of information in the context of our ever-evolving understanding of the economy.
Some people are less comfortable than others using their personal Facebook in the work context. With Facebook at Work, you get the option of completely separating the two.
No matter how you use it or what context you are using it in, words hurt.
What you can do is present existing flavors in a fresh way, in a fresh context.
What makes something pop? It’s really just the bed it’s placed in. If I grab melodies by Black Sabbath or Metallica and take them out of their musical bed and put them into a pop context, it’s not like they wouldn’t translate.
I think it is quite dangerous for an organisation to think they can predict where they are going to need leadership. It needs to be something that people are willing to assume if it feels relevant, given the context of any situation.
I feel very lucky. The older I get, the more I see how random everything is, the luckier I feel to have been born into this context; the more responsible I feel to be the best that I can be as a person and as a professional. That was a quality… of the men on my father’s side of the family.
