我们都知道这种感觉。你在悲伤的夜晚失眠，或者在朦胧的周末清晨蹒跚而行，需要一些阅读的东西，而那一堆未读的书并不能阻止你。为什么不从Twitter和RSS的消防水龙带中休息一下，看看我们每周从网络上收集的关于技术、文化、媒体和未来的重要文章？当然，坐在Instapaper队列中你会感到内疚的还有一件事，但总比再次在Twitter列表上徒劳地拉好。

注意：抓取本周的故事作为阅读列表。

在维基百科上

丹·诺索维茨（dannosowitz）写到了肯·孟佩尔（kenmempel），他是维基百科飓风桑迪（Hurricane Sandy）词条形成过程中最积极的贡献者，他在删除所有与气候变化有关的内容时保持了警惕。

大众科学：丹·诺索维茨——见见气候变化否认者，他在维基百科上成为飓风桑迪的代言人

In an unpaid but frenzied fit of news c***umption, editing, correction, aggregation, and citation, Mampel has established himself as by far the most active contributor to the Wikipedia page on Hurricane Sandy, with more than twice the number of edits as the next-most-active contributor at the time this article was written. And Mampel made sure that the Hurricane Sandy article, for four days after the hurricane made landfall in New Jersey, had no mention of "global warming" or "climate change" whatsoever.

病毒照片

约翰·马奥尼与尼克·科普交谈，尼克·科普的一张早期拍摄到桑迪暴涨照片的照片被疯传。

美国图片：约翰马奥尼-飓风桑迪的第一张病毒式照片背后的故事

I was interviewed multiple times throughout the day—people would call who were working on stories and would ask, "What do you see? What is it like now?" It was just so interesting to me—I’m just a person who has an iPhone who took one photo, and then all of a sudden I’m this credible person who’s being called by the BBC and CNN to ask for on-the-ground information on national cable television.

关于勒贝乌斯·伍兹

杰夫·马诺（Geoff Manaugh）记得上周去世后的实验建筑师勒贝乌斯·伍兹（Lebbeus Woods）。

BLDGBLOG:Geoff Manaugh-Lebbeus Woods，1940-2012年

Because what I like about Lebbeus's work is its nearly insane honesty, its straight-ahead declaration that nothing—genuinely and absolutely nothing—is here to welcome us or accept us or say yes to us. That there is no solid or lasting ground to build anything on, let alone anything out there other than ourselves expecting us to build it.

论数字人文

斯蒂芬·马奇（Stephen Marche）着眼于在大数据过程中运行文学的困难。

洛杉矶书评：斯蒂芬·马奇-文学不是数据：反对数字人文

Algorithms are inherently fascistic, because they give the comforting illusion of an alterity to human affairs. "You don’t like this music? The algorithms have worked it out" is not so far from "You don’t like this law? It works objectively." Algorithms have replaced laws of human nature, the vital distinction being that nobody can read them. They describe human meanings but are meaningless.

关于乔治·卢卡斯

根据本周迪斯尼收购卢卡斯电影公司的消息，看看《大西洋月刊》1979年的乔治·卢卡斯简介。

《大西洋》：琳达·迈尔斯和迈克尔·皮——**星球大战的人

The idea of Star Wars was simply to make a "real gee-whiz movie." It would be a high adventure film for children, a pleasure film which would be a logical end to the road down which Coppola had directed his apparently cold, remote associate. As Graffiti went out around the country, Lucas refined his ideas. He toyed with remaking the great Flash Gordon serials, with Dale Arden in peril and the evil Emperor Ming; but the owners of the rights wanted a high price and overstringent controls on how their characters were used. Instead, Lucas began to research.
