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。

把所有这些都作为一个阅读列表。

论化学战试验

拉菲·卡查多里安（Raffi Khatchadourian）在书中写到，在冷战期间的大部分时间里，在陆军的埃奇伍德研究中心，对士兵（以及背后的科学家、医生和工作人员）进行精神活**物测试。

《纽约客》：拉菲·卡查杜里安-谵妄行动

To dem***trate the effects of VX, he was known to dip his finger in a beaker containing the lethal agent, then rub it on the back of a shaved rabbit; as the animal convulsed and died, he would casually walk across the room and bathe his finger in a Martini to wash off the VX.

在网络上

AnilDash认为，在过去的十年里，网络及其核心价值观发生了多大的变化，而且往往变得更糟。

阿尼尔·达什-我们失去的网络

We get bullshit turf battles like Tumblr not being able to find your Twitter friends or Facebook not letting Instagram photos show up on Twitter because of giant companies pursuing their agendas instead of collaborating in a way that would serve users. And we get a generation of entrepreneurs encouraged to make more narrow-minded, web-hostile products like these because it continues to make a **all number of wealthy people even more wealthy, instead of letting lots of people build innovative new opportunities for themselves on top of the web itself.

在8轨上

《收藏家周刊》采访了巴克·伯内特（Bucks Burnett），他是8轨的冠军，也是几个致力于这种备受嘲笑的形式的博物馆的创始人。

收藏家周刊：亨特·奥特曼·斯坦福-上帝保佑八轨

In the mid-’60s, Bill Lear of Learjet wanted a format to play music in his airplanes, so he had his engineers develop a tape cartridge that they installed in the jets. Very quickly a light went off in his head. He’s like, "Wait, my jet customers love having music in the air. Why can’t I put this in cars?" Lear went out and lobbied all the big auto manufacturers in Detroit and got them to introduce a line of eight-track players in their 1966 cars.

论摄影

托马斯贝勒认为他的摄影习惯，记忆和经验。

《纽约客》：托马斯·贝勒——告别现在

I like action shots. I don’t use a flash. A little blur is O.K., as long as the flavor and mood of the light is there. I don’t ask for poses, in fact I actively discourage them. I still remember when my daughter, at the age of three or four, first displayed her fake camera **ile. It was awful.

论仿真

杰森·斯科特谈到了通过仿真器严格、清晰地再现视频游戏所带来的麻烦，以及捕捉糟糕显示器的“模拟雾”的努力。

ASCII:Jason Scott-糟糕的显示器真是个奇迹

"The vector lines, which are created by aiming a beam DIRECTLY AT YOUR EYES only to be stopped by a coated piece of glass, have a completely different feel. The phosphor glows, the shots look like **all stars floating across the glass, and a raster line is not to be seen. It’s an entirely different experience, and the teenagers at MAGfest had never seen it before, and unfortunately, it is well on its way out."

在电缆上

《星球货币》的亚当·戴维森（Adam Davidson）深入研究了推动当前电视巨潮的经济学。

《****》：亚当·戴维森“疯子”经济奇迹

At first, the cable industry’s ascendance into arguably America’s single-most-profitable big business makes almost no economic sense. Not long ago, three major networks controlled all of our viewing. Now dozens of channels reach a fraction of that audience. According to the basic rule of supply and demand, the revenue and profits should plummet. But those rules break down when an industry operates as a near monopoly.
