After Valentine's Day, it's tempting to compare our relationships to everyone else's, but love is not one-size-fits-all. Celebrate your unique journey, regardless of how it measures up to others. Visit the @Cosmopolitan article below for five methods on how to put the blinders up and focus in on you and your partner. cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/a2…

I feel like every machine learning model you create always has that 1% defect similar to the old legend of Persian rugs and “the deliberate mistake” left by their creators. Maybe it is how AI models are just supposed to be: imperfect — just like us.

A note to designers and friends who lost their job at Google, Facebook or who are just fried: I'm so sorry. If you want to hang out, need a breather, a library jammed with 5,543 art + design books to inhale over coffee, donuts and talk, let me know. Coffeehaus starts Sunday.

Skip the national parks. Visit the legacy cities of the US. The food's way better. ethanzuckerman.com/2022/08/0…

Legacy cities and the changing nature of the good life - Ethan Zuckerman

America's legacy cities are shrinking, but they are as vital as our national parks. And they have much better food.

Democrats must evolve their voter communication strategies

One of my favorite moments as an author is when the galley copy arrives. Yesterday was that day for my next book, "How God Works," out Sept. 14. Excited to share the science behind how & why religious rituals & practices can benefit everyone (even the not religiously inclined).

Many fear how #socialmedia disrupts our elections, economy, & health. The @SocialDilemma_ is one of the hottest docs on #Netflix. I just released #thehypemachine book on the same topic. What's your biggest fear about how SM algorithms change behavior & effect society? #CIOchat

If we're going to beat COVID-19, we need self-control: to socially distance, to avoid hoarding, to sacrifice in many ways. We do difficult things because we feel we should: moral emotions give us power to do what's right. Re-upping from @poptech vimeo.com/190436729?ref=tw-s…
