《The Amazing Psychology of Japanese Train Stations》

生活在日本，尤其是东京，压力大，想不开的概率高。为了减缓这种压力，人流量巨大的地铁站做了不少措施，例如在自杀率高发的站点安装能使人平静的 LED 蓝灯，播放舒缓的音乐等。这些才叫小设计大影响啊。

《3 things to keep in mind before you design for GDPR》

值得咀嚼的摘要

选自《The death of the newsfeed》：

You would not send 10 pictures of your child or dog to everyone in your address book very often, if ever, and most people (under 50) would not send every funny or enraging news article they see to everyone in their address book either, but the asymmetric feed makes posting at that kind of frequency normal instead of rude. Since you’re posting it to ‘your’ feed instead of sending it explicitly to someone, it’s OK to post lots and to post less important things. That, in turn, takes us to the tragedy of the commons - we’re ‘supposed’ to post stuff, but by posting stuff, we overload each other’s feeds. Facebook’s Growth team was too good at its job.
