While the idea of living life under constant surveillance and scrutiny by an invisible audience of followers at all times may have been a nightmare in 1998, it’s become a reality in 2018. We each have the ability to broadcast our own life’s events, no matter how trivial or mundane, through livestreaming video capability on Facebook and Instagram, by posting photos of our food, or tweeting our every thought — even when our audience may only be the people in our daily lives.

Dringend nog eens herbekijken. Een film die volledig staat met z’n duizenden meta-laagjes. Twintig jaar na datum bleek het een betere voorspeller te zijn dan de toen-gimmicky plot deed vermoeden.

FiveThirtyEight met een geniale analyse van onze Rode Duivels:

Tactically, Roberto Martinez’s preferred system brings the best out of Hazard, who will likely flank Lukaku on the left of a front three, but shackles De Bruyne, who may be the world’s best offensive passer. During European qualifying, De Bruyne created just 0.32 “big chances” per 90 minutes, as defined by data firm Opta Sports, compared with 0.55 in the Premier League for Manchester City this season. Thomas Meunier, who plays right wing-back, was one of Belgium’s most important attacking players in qualifying, scoring five goals and assisting on seven. Given that the team’s first choice of left wing-back, Yannick Carrasco, is attack-minded as well, the defensive vulnerability is obvious: Belgium is aiming to out-score, not contain, its opposition.

it’s the more creation-oriented apps and tasks where the iPad Pro is really starting to shine. For me that means writing articles like this and the App Store is teeming with great iPad-optimized apps to help me out here.

Volledig mee eens.

David Tate:

Do you default to thinking first then working or working first then thinking? Do you understand the downsides of just working a lot of hours under pressure?

Hoera!

Ik ben grote fan en frequent speler van de iPad-versie. Maar dit is toch nog een stapje hoger.

Dat het hier veel stiller gaat zijn de komende dagen.

Harvard Business Review:

[F]eedback caused performance to decline in 38% of cases. This happened with both positive and negative feedback(…)

Er zijn weinig bazen met aangeboren skills, maar als je er dan toch eentje moet leren, laat het dan deze zijn:

Do not impose your solutions. The role of the listener is to help the speaker draw up a solution themselves. Therefore, when listening to a fellow colleague or subordinate, refrain from suggesting solutions.

Monica Heisey op Medium:

The entire world is one giant beeping alert to things we should do or can do or will do in the future, things we are doing at that moment but could be doing faster. It’s more or less impossible to be bored. Bored means there are not thousands of to-do’s to accomplish. Bored means it doesn’t matter that there’s not. Bored means you are free. In a time of endless, empty stimuli, it is a thrill to be understimulated. Being bored is wonderful and relaxing and I am going to help you get there. The first step is reading this article and then everything else I have ever written, ha ha, but shhh. Listen now.

Cool.
