1.“”屏幕时间工作父母指南“ 经过亚历山德拉·塞缪尔(Alexandra Samuel),作者Remote, Inc.
Screen time can be your greatest adversary as a remote-working parent — if screen struggles lead to meltdowns, behavioral issues and conflicts that are exhausting and destabilizing for the whole household. That’s the struggle we’ve had in our own household, and it’s led me to reconsider, revise and update a lot of the tech parenting strategies and parental controls I have written about over the years…
2. “How to Prove the Big Bang With an Old TV Set“ 经过Ethan Siegel, astrophysicist and NASA columnist
When it comes to the question of how our Universe came to be, science was late to the game. For innumerable generations, it was philosophers, theologians and poets who pontificated on the matter of our cosmic origins. But all of that changed in the 20th century, when theoretical, experimental, and observational developments in physics and astronomy finally brought these questions into the realm of testable science.
When the dust settled, the combination of cosmic expansion, the primeval abundances of the light elements, the Universe’s large-scale structure, and the cosmic microwave background all combined to anoint the Big Bang as the hot, dense, expanding origin of our modern Universe. While it wasn’t until the mid-1960s that the cosmic microwave background was detected, a careful observer could have detected it in the most unlikely of places: on a run-of-the-mill television set…

对于我来说,这是一个疯狂的夏天,对我来说是一个疯狂的夏天 - 出于完全不同的原因。但是,在打开这封信时,我感到与任何敢于称自己为领导者的人的不寻常的亲属关系,在这个世界上,以同等的方式为您的成绩和行为而如此敏锐地判断您。
So why did a letter from a Head of State provoke me into something short of a minor emotional meltdown? Was it simply the exhaustion following a long and arduous fundraise, or was it something deeper?
5. “I Have a New Relationship With Death“ 经过Holy Sh*t I Have Cancer
您知道一个旧的魔鬼坐在一个肩膀上试图使您误入歧途的旧望远镜,而一个天使坐在另一个肩膀上,试图将您推到义人的道路上?我有一个正在进行的版本,除了塔纳托斯(Thanatos),也称为死亡,一个肩膀上,而埃尔皮斯(Elpis)是希望的精神,另一个是肩膀。
They are both talking to me constantly, interrupting each other, trying to hold my attention. I try to tune them out because I am working full time through chemo and don’t have the bandwidth for their antics, but still there they are, nattering away…
6.“”I Was Eddie Munson, And You Hated Me“ 经过Benjamin Sledge,作家和战斗资深人士
It wasn’t that it hurt getting shoved into lockers, but that it confirmed I was “the freak.” When checked into a metal grey locker while walking to class, some jock would sneer, “Watch where you’re going, freak!” Sometimes they’d call me “faggot” or “queer” depending on how malicious teens wanted to be. As the kid who liked guitar, metal bands, skateboards, and wore “alternative” clothes, my appearance and hobbies often attracted the vultures.
Early in the 1990s, I’d grown my hair down to my shoulders to reflect the hairstyles of the bands I loved. The one difference was that I parted it down the middle and straightened it each morning. The result was that it looked like I wore a brown mop on my head. My brother reminded me each morning that I looked like a girl standing in front of the mirror with a round brush and blow-dryer. Besides the “butt cut” (due to its resemblance to a butt crack with the hard part in the middle), I wore standard grunge and metal clothes: flared or ripped up JNCO jeans and shirts sporting band names or the naughty monkey, Curious George. Despite the humidity and punishing Oklahoma sun, I wore black jeans to cover my stick legs during the summer…
7. “We Flooded Our Dating App With Bots… To Scam Scammers“ 经过Brian Weinreich, start-up founder and CEO
My co-founder Zach and I recently started a video dating app, and as user numbers grew, so did the number of scammers harassing people for money.
We are a teeny 3-person startup. We have resources like two staplers, a handful of pens, and a computer charger. We couldn’t “throw money at the problem.” Here’s what we did instead…

9.“”Agile Projects Have Become Waterfall Projects With Sprints“ 经过Ben “The Hosk” Hosking, software developer

10.“”机器可以学习如何表现吗?“ 经过Blaise Aguera y Arcas,副总裁和Google Research的研究员
爱,友谊,照顾他人,同理心,利他主义,公平和正义,等等,这不是“理性”发明的现代贴面,这些发明是通过野蛮的,霍布斯的本性而绘制的。我们远非无情的优化者,除了最大化我们的乐趣或后代的数量之外,什么都不做。根据卢梭,我们曾经曾经是崇高的野蛮人,其根本上是“纯”的驱动力(无论可能意味着什么),后来被现代性腐败。我们只是高度社交,健谈的动物,它们发明了东西,这些品质自10,000年前冰川撤退以来已经走了很长一段路。
We’re on the brink of inventing machines that can be social and inventive with us. The challenge we face now is twofold: that of deciding how these machines should behave, and that of figuring out how我们should behave.
