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。

论交易

考虑到几周前骑士资本（Knight Capital）的崩溃，不要错过杰瑞•阿德勒（Jerry Adler）对高频交易领域的深入研究，华尔街正竞相削减毫秒级的数据传输时间。

This movement has been gaining momentum for more than a decade. Human beings who make investment decisi*** based on their asses**ent of the economy and on the prospects for individual companies are retreating. Computers—acting on computer-generated market trend data and even newsfeeds, communicating only with one another—have taken up the slack.

论白噪声

合唱团西夏审查了令人惊讶的白噪声录音范围广泛。

锥子：唱诗班西夏-审查白噪声录音

The dystopic title is correct. This is a very cold, unfeeling white noise. It has terrific bassy, rhythmic undertones however. It's not one you'd want in your regular rotation but it's nice on planes.

论美国**业

在关于将小玩意**业搬回美国的可行性的无休止的争论中，《****》回顾了近30年，探讨了日产将部分汽车组装厂搬回田纳西州的成功经验。

《****》：比尔·弗拉西奇（Bill Vlasic）、田口裕子（Hiroko Tabuchi）和查尔斯·杜希格（Charles Duhigg）——追求日产（Nissan），科技行业的就业教训？

But c***umer electronics are different. Though some jobs have moved to Asia, many were never here to begin with. And the biggest technology importers — like Apple, Hewlett-Packard, Dell and Microsoft — are American companies. Today, many c***umers do not know or care where their **artphones are made. "Where it was built, what it means for politics, how it affects the economy," said Raymond Stata, a founder of Analog Devices, one of the largest semiconductor manufacturers, "that’s not something people think about when they buy."

在扫描仪上

Adrien Chen采访了@SheboyganScan背后的多产人士，这是一个好奇的Twitter帐户，跟踪威斯康星州当地警方的扫描器活动。

新调查：陈德琳-推特拍

I got my first scanner for Christmas in 2004. I took it out of the box, put in batteries, turned it on, and heard a plane crash! I didn’t listen to it too much, but I noticed that a lot of interesting things never showed up in our local paper, which is woefully inadequate.

在被黑客攻击时

在他的“数字生活被毁”几天后，Mat Honan详细讲述了一群黑客是如何通过苹果和亚马逊的安全防御系统进入他的账户的。

连线：Mat Honan-苹果和亚马逊的安全漏洞如何导致我的史诗般的黑客攻击

But what happened to me exposes vital security flaws in several customer service systems, most notably Apple’s and Amazon’s. Apple tech support gave the hackers access to my iCloud account. Amazon tech support gave them the ability to see a piece of information — a partial credit card number — that Apple used to release information. In short, the very four digits that Amazon c***iders unimportant enough to display in the clear on the web are precisely the same ones that Apple c***iders secure enough to perform identity verification. The disconnect exposes flaws in data management policies endemic to the entire technology industry, and points to a looming nightmare as we enter the era of cloud computing and connected devices.

论机器人的临场感

瑞秋·艾玛·西尔弗曼作为一个任意机器人、网真机器人度过了一段时间。

《华尔街日报》：雷切尔·艾玛·西尔弗曼——我的远程办公机器人生活

Wherever I went, I needed a c***tant handler and guide, and the spotty wireless signal often left me stranded—the video window on my laptop in Texas frozen as the Robot Rachel in New York went dead. When a co-worker attempted to roll me into an area with better connectivity, the robot would thrash around, emitting an alarming, guttural noise that startled all in its vicinity.
