Newsletters

Pocket has helped millions save articles and discover stories worth reading. But the way people save and consume content on the web has evolved, so we’re channeling our resources into projects that better match browsing habits today. Discovery also continues to evolve; Pocket helped shape the curated content recommendations you already see in Firefox, and that experience will keep getting better. Meanwhile, new features like Tab Groups and enhanced bookmarks now provide built-in ways to manage reading lists easily.

I like to think I mostly get done what I set out to accomplish. My success right there is pretty high in terms of delivering products that have lasting value. I’m not the guy to tweak things in production – it’s either a clean piece of paper or a complete disaster.

SUMMER DAYS / Moritz Schorpp - DECALOGUE Magazine

摘录

It took me a long time to figure out why founders don’t listen. At first I thought it was mere stubbornness. That’s part of the reason, but another and probably more important reason is that so much about startups is counterintuitive. And when you tell someone something counterintuitive, what it sounds to them is wrong. So the reason founders don’t listen to us is that they don’t believe us. At least not till experience teaches them otherwise.

On sharing the magic of the creative process, w/ Serbest Salih, The Creative Independent

They see the world from different levels. It’s a very innocent perspective because it’s without editing—it is a free moment without any pressure. When they see any moment that inspires them, they capture it. Their work is about the celebration of childhood; about seeing the world through the eyes of children, not as adults. … When I teach them photography composition, I don’t tell them what they should do. I tell them that photography doesn’t have rules—that when you shoot, you just have to feel it. I try to make sure not to pressure them. [Even though] it’s analog photography, and it’s a limited [medium], I tell them, “You have just to feel it, you can shoot whatever you want.”

周保松：公共生活的意義

⋯⋯第三，承接以上所言，公共生活總意味著我們與他人在一起。我們在一起討論，一起行動，一起感受，也在一起改變。我們雖然有不同的身分，卻總希望在公共生活中彼此尊重，沒有人會因為出身、階級、性別、信仰等差異而受到歧視。公共生活很重要的一點，是看到和承認他人與你是平等的存在，享有同樣的權利。我們因此要學會聆聽、容忍和尊重不同的觀點。 公共性總是和開放、多元、民主這些價值聯結在一起。

以上三點，都是規範性的，反映我們對公共生活的期望，而不是說現實已經如此。我們正是見到現實的不理想，才特別提出這些面向，希望我們一起努力創造條件去實現這樣的公共生活。

⋯⋯公共生活是有力量的，當人與人走在一起，當人開始獨立思考，體制就會恐慌，因為他們知道自己那套東西早已經不起理性檢視。現在的社會控制，就是要將人趕回私人領域，把人變成耽於消費的經濟動物，從而令我們忽略、甚至忘記人同時也是社會存有和政治存有。

王小波：积极的结论

我的积极结论是这样的：真理直率无比，坚硬无比，但凡有一点柔顺，也算不了真理。安徒生有一篇童话(光荣的荆棘路)，就是献给这些直率、坚硬的人，不过他提到的全是外国人。作为中国的知识分子，理应有自己的榜样。此刻我脑子里浮现出一系列名字：陈寅格教授，冯友兰教授，等等。说到陈教授，我们知道，他穷毕生精力，考据了一篇很不重要的话本，《再生缘》。想到这件事，我并不感到有多振奋，只是有点伤感。

真理一定是坚硬的，但坚硬的不一定是真理，被视作坚不可摧的往往亦不过是玩物尔尔。不过，还有人最大的乐观主义，时间和死亡。既然知道至多是一场大火或迎来冰河，至少也有生死在这之中轮替，再无力时也多了一份安定。

The Verge with Matt Mullenweg, How WordPress and Tumblr are keeping the internet weird

…There’s people that are sharing. That’s really, really exciting to me because it’s kind of like the personal web…I go to a Medium article, or even a Substack article, and I read the article and I just remember Medium or Substack. I actually forget the author because the sites all kind of look the same. How do you bring that — not just the editorial voice, but also the visual personalization — that you can really have your own home on the web?

林宏信：母語者心態

「母語者心態」是無法為他人帶來幫助的，然而這不容易避免，畢竟每個人都有這麼多差異，大家都可能是某方面的「母語者」，難以去理解他人所面臨到的困難。我想首先要察覺到自己與別人的不同，建立正確的認知，才能真正幫助到他人。

自主、自然的学习往往需要前期有一定程度的投入，未起步的人即使对这些所谓的学习方式有所认知，也极大可能仍在原地踏步。每个人都可能在某个领域存在一定投入，是这个领域的「精通者」，或多或少在遇到来自新手的提问时感到有些疑惑，「为什么他就不能想到我所想到的呢？」，无法先站在对方的角度理解其全程经历的困难，这便是母语者心态了。除了察觉不同、建立认知外，我想还需要把对方的问题不断细化，才能一点一点重新来过。

马华灵：身份自由主义的困境

身份政治的大麻烦是去公民政治。但是，公共自由主义并不排斥身份政治。这是因为身份自由主义一败涂地，表面上根源于身份政治，而实质上根源于去公民政治。如果美国自由派能够从身份政治走向公民政治，那么身份政治依旧可以从分裂的政治走向团结的政治。身份自由主义是排他性的（exclusive），它以自我为中心，只关心跟自己的身份息息相关的事务，而不关心跟自己的身份毫无干系的事务。但是，公共自由主义却是包容性的（inclusive），它不仅仅关心跟自己的身份息息相关的事务，而且还从自己的身份出发走向更广大的公民同胞。

身份政治的一大弊病是其无穷无尽分裂的特性，走到最后人人视对方为异己、形同陌路，个人主义的实质决定其自身被终结的命运。从身份政治走向公民政治，亦正是从分裂走向团结，从诉诸运动转向诉诸选举。在冲突中进化，但最终只得在包容中收获。

Paul Graham, What You’ll Wish You’d Known

The only real difference between adults and high school kids is that adults realize they need to get things done, and high school kids don’t. That realization hits most people around 23. But I’m letting you in on the secret early. So get to work. Maybe you can be the first generation whose greatest regret from high school isn’t how much time you wasted.
