Designing A Better Death

12 Of The World's Most Jaw-Dropping Remote Hideaways. When you live in a constantly connected (but spiritually disconnected) urban environment, it's natural to dream about escaping to some wilderness shack and never coming back.

12 Of The World's Most Jaw-Dropping Remote Hideaways

Hide and Seek: The Architecture of Cabins and Hide-Outs, a new book from Gestalten, lets you indulge that fantasy without having to go all Grizzly Man. If Cops Understood Crowd Psychology, They'd Tone Down The Riot Gear. One of the clearest lessons from Ferguson is that the militarization of local police has become a major problem across the United States.

If Cops Understood Crowd Psychology, They'd Tone Down The Riot Gear

Images of grotesquely armed forces staring down peaceful protestors in the streets have given way to interactive maps of the armored vehicles and assault weapons distributed to police departments in recent years. On Saturday, President Obama announced a White House review of that unsettling trend--too late this time around, but appropriate nevertheless. The conventional wisdom behind forceful crowd control deserves a review of its own.

Rather than passively controlling a protest, heavy riot gear actively changes the dynamics of crowd behavior, according to the best new behavioral evidence. The twisted outcome is one that too many police forces have yet to learn: the military-style equipment intended to enhance public safety often ends up threatening it. 3 Things That Turned This Photograph Into A Ferguson Icon. The night Robert Cohen shot the most iconic photo of the Ferguson protests, “nobody knew exactly what we were about to get into,” the veteran photojournalist recalls.

3 Things That Turned This Photograph Into A Ferguson Icon

Edward Crawford, the 25-year-old subject of the photo, had picked out one of his favorite shirts and driven down to check out the ongoing protests that followed Michael Brown’s death. Police had used tear gas the night before, but there wasn’t fear in the crowd--just the familiar weird energy. “We thought we were going to have our first quiet night,” Cohen recalls. The 7 Common (And Totally Avoidable) Mistakes New Managers Make. The transition to management isn’t easy.

The 7 Common (And Totally Avoidable) Mistakes New Managers Make

The Most Unusual Strike This Year Shows Why It Pays To Treat Employees Well. Here’s one way to think about whether you’re treating your staff well: Ask yourself, would they stick their necks out for you?

The Most Unusual Strike This Year Shows Why It Pays To Treat Employees Well

This summer, CEO Arthur T. Demoulas got his rewards for being a good boss who paid his 25,000 employees well and treated them like they mattered. Over the last two months, workers at every level of Market Basket, a New England grocery store chain, walked off their jobs and risked their employment--some going without pay, others picketing in front of stores--when the board of the family-run company ousted the beloved CEO in June. With everyone from warehouse stockers to store managers on strike, shelves at the 71 Market Basket locations were soon empty. Customers couldn’t shop there even if they wanted to (and many didn’t, siding with the workers in a boycott). Intel's CEO Reveals The Company's Plans To Build A Conflict-Free Supply Chain By 2016. If you use electronics or wear gold jewelry, you're participating in an economy that finances armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which gather significant sources of income from the mining of tin, tantalum, gold, and tungsten in the country.

Intel's CEO Reveals The Company's Plans To Build A Conflict-Free Supply Chain By 2016

At least, that was the case until recently. An uptick in corporate social responsibility efforts, combined with pressure from the Dodd-Frank Act—a bill that requires U.S. companies to prove due diligence to the Securities and Exchange Commission that they are trying to remove conflict minerals from their supply chain—is making it more possible than ever to reach the ideal of a conflict-free supply chain.

Lift 170-Pounds Effortlessly With This DIY ‘Elysium’-Inspired Exoskeleton. Tastier, Healthier, And Animal-Free: Can Ethan Brown Reinvent Meat? Imagine that you had to describe meat to someone who's never encountered the stuff.

Tastier, Healthier, And Animal-Free: Can Ethan Brown Reinvent Meat?

It would be hard to do because meat is, you know, meat. You'd begin with where it comes from--the muscles and flesh of chickens, cows, pigs, etc. You'd offer characteristics (the sunset-pink of a medium-rare steak, the savory flavor, the chewiness, the grill marks when you cook it over fire) and the things you can make from it, such as burgers, nuggets, and cold cuts. If you wanted to describe what meat isn't, the top category on your list would clearly be plants.

But if you were Ethan Brown, a man who has given this topic as much thought as anyone on the planet, you'd come at it from a totally different angle. Bad Design Is One Of The Top 10 Reasons Apple Rejects Apps. To millions of developers, Apple's App Store review team can seem like an inscrutable shadow watch, where apps are rejected for the most arbitrary reasons.

Bad Design Is One Of The Top 10 Reasons Apple Rejects Apps

Apple, of course, usually cultivates such airs of mystery, but in a semi-rare bout of (partial) transparency, the iPhone maker has built a rainbow-hued chart, updated weekly, showing the top 10 reasons why apps have been rejected. And as it turns out, a sizable chunk of apps are rejected simply because they are poorly designed. While 14% of apps are rejected for not providing all the necessary information Apple requires, and another 8% are rejected for being buggy, 6% of apps are rejected simply for violating Apple developer guideline 10.6 which is basically Apple's "dont submit shit" policy":

Critically acclaimed Chinese photographer Fan Ho spent the 1950s and 60s taking gritty and darkly beautiful photos of street life in Hong Kong. His photographs, to be published in his new book “Fan Ho: A Hong Kong Memoir“, reach back through time and space to connect us to the everyday sights of this bustling metropolis in a way that many of us have never seen before. Ever since Ho moved to Hong Kong from Shanghai in 1949, he has been documenting these special everyday moments. Dis-moi ce que tu floutes, je te dirai qui tu es. Campaigns for economy. A Clever Logo That Can Only Be Read Properly When Bent In Half. Un caso de censura. “La obra de María Eugenia Trujillo se basa en la alegoría —una figura retórica que, según la Real Academia Española, ‘consiste en hacer patentes en el discurso, por medio de varias metáforas consecutivas, un sentido recto y otro figurado, ambos completos, a fin de dar a entender una cosa expresando otra diferente’—.

Esto quiere decir que la artista produce objetos artísticos ensamblados por ella misma, que hacen referencia a las custodias religiosas, sin serlo. Entender esta diferenciación es muy importante para comprender que en el universo simbólico de las representaciones estéticas se puede aludir a un objeto para comunicar otra cosa diferente a la lectura literal de ese mismo objeto”. “Los objetos que evocan custodias, pero no son realmente custodias, los elaboro yo misma con trozos de lámparas y candelabros. El objetivo es sacralizar la idea de lo que es la mujer. Sin embargo, como bien se pregunta la artista, “¿dónde queda el derecho a la libre expresión?”.

Information Equals Reality. A direct link to the above video is at How does music (or any other artform) communicate universal ideas? Here are quotes from two quantum physics experts who would probably be surprised to hear me insist that they are providing the answer to that question.

I don’t think there’s much new to say about Jennifer Lawrence’s image being stolen and circulated on the internet. Masculine entitlement isn’t new, and the Wikileaks of celebrity phone invasions is not too novel a twist on that very old story.

But I’ve been really interested in this disconnect between the appeal of Jennifer Lawrence as it is described on the internet, simultaneous to the voracious descent of browser vultures into her personal space after an iPhone leak.
