Your Phone Is a Confession:
Digital Exhaust, Privacy, and the Fourth Amendment

"Digital exhaust is the residue of ordinary digital life: logs, metadata, telemetry, identifiers, and sensor readings produced by devices to do what you bought them to do."

"Startups take off because the founders make them take off."

Paul Graham on doing things that don't scale:

[Francisco Gómez de Tejada | arquitecto @gomezdetejada]

Umberto Eco, propietario de 50.000 libros, dijo esto sobre las bibliotecas caseras:
"Es una tontería pensar que tienes que leer cada libro que compras, porque es una tontería criticar a aquellos que compran más libros de lo que nunca podrían leer. Sería como decir que debes usar todos los cubiertos o gafas o llaves o taladros que compraste antes de comprar nuevos".
"Hay cosas en la vida que siempre necesitamos tener en abundancia, incluso si solo usamos una pequeña porción".
"Si, por ejemplo, consideramos los libros como medicina, entendemos que es bueno tener muchos en casa en lugar de algunos: cuando quieres sentirte mejor, ve al 'armario de medicamentos' y toma un libro. No al azar, sino el libro correcto para ese momento. ¡Esta es la razón por la que siempre debes tener una opción nutricional!"
"Quien compra sólo un libro, lee sólo este y luego se deshace de él. Solo aplican la mentalidad de consumidor a los libros, es decir, nos consideran un producto de consumo, un bien".
"Los que aman los libros saben que un libro es todo menos una mercancía. "

The love of reading is an endangered species.

Just 16% of Americans do regular leisure reading—down from 28% in 2003. 41% of UK parents read daily to their toddlers—down from 64% in 2012.

Books aren't only a source of flow. They're a gateway to empathy and lifelong learning.

Jony mentions the Quakers, and his message is in some sense a Quaker exhortation. "Work as though you are being watched by God and for the good of mankind."
