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。

论名人

约翰赫尔曼探索了前NBA野心家大卫约翰逊如何使用阅读收据来跟踪他发给杰伊的数百封电子邮件。疯狂的部分？Jay-Z似乎在看这些邮件，经常不止一次。

Believing you have a direct, one-way line to someone like Jay-Z also inevitably forces you to confront some questi***. What is he getting out of this? What does he think of me? And the one that you can only ignore for so long: If he's reading, why isn't he responding to me?

论不朽

埃文R。戈尔茨坦介绍了美国宇航局喷气推进实验室的老兵肯海沃思和他的死亡治疗搜索。

高等教育编年史：埃文R。戈尔茨坦-不朽的奇怪的神经科学

Hayworth has spent much of the past few years in a windowless room carving brains into very thin slices. He is by all accounts a curious man, known for casually saying things like, "The human race is on a beeline to mind uploading: We will preserve a brain, slice it up, simulate it on a computer, and hook it up to a robot body." He wants that brain to be his brain. He wants his 100 billion neur*** and more than 100 trillion synapses to be encased in a block of transparent, amber-colored resin—before he dies of natural causes.

论钉扎

卡琳娜·乔卡诺（Carina Chocano）反复讲述了这些钉住和翻滚的原因。

There’s a German word for it, of course: Sehnsucht, which translates as "addictive yearning." This is, I think, what these sites evoke: the feeling of being addicted to longing for something; specifically being addicted to the feeling that something is missing or incomplete. The point is not the thing that is being longed for, but the feeling of longing for the thing. And that feeling is necessarily ambivalent, combining both positive and negative emoti***.

简论

互联网正在改变礼仪也就不足为奇了，埃里克·斯皮尔曼（Erik Spiegelman）向我们展示了电子邮件的新规则是如何暴露代沟的。

巴士你自己的托盘：埃里克斯皮尔曼-论电子邮件的简洁性的优点

This conflicts with an older style of correspondence that associated pleasantries with tact. Tactful emails now are efficient, and pleasantries are a waste. People accustomed to pleasantries see their absence as rude, or a sign of being cross. They infer a tone that isn’t there, while people accustomed to brevity know how difficult it can be to ascertain tone from an email.

在coursera

本周，包括普林斯顿、杜克、佐治亚理工大学在内的十几所大学宣布，他们将加入Daphne Koller和Andrew Ng的CurSera在线高等教育机构。今年秋天，这些学院将提供100多个mooc（“大规模在线开放课程”），乔丹·魏斯曼（Jordan Weis**ann）正在考虑这对未来在线教育意味着什么。

马克·埃德蒙森教授在《****》评论版上对网络教育持不同观点。

And therein lies Coursera's promise. The company does not c***ider itself an alternative to a traditional university. Rather, it's more of a market for learning. Schools that design classes for Coursera retain the rights to their work, meaning it's a risk-free way for schools to dip themselves into online education without building the technology infrastructure from scratch. In turn, professors can incorporate the web material into their traditional courses, for instance by turning their 9 a.m. lectures into homework. In time, the process could breed more familiarity, less contempt, and much more efficient classrooms.

论漫画

当FILMCRITHULK回顾他在2012年漫画大会上的时光时，拥抱所有的帽子。

娱乐周刊：电影绿巨人-绿巨人VS.漫画场！

BUT AS HULK GOES THROUGH THERE IS SOMETHING DISTRESSING ABOUT THE NATURE OF THE INTERACTIONS AT LARGE HERE. IT’S ALMOST AS IF THERE’S A GAP BETWEEN THE PRESUMED SMARTNESS OF "THE NERD" AND THE ACTUAL SMARTNESS BEING PUT FORTH IN THESE INTERACTIONS.
