Brockman testified that he never made any commitments to Musk about the company's corporate structure, and he never heard anyone else make them.

In 1979, a Harvard psychologist named Ellen Langer took eight men in their late 70s to a retreat house redecorated exactly like 1959 — old magazines, radio broadcasts, and furniture — and asked them to live as their younger selves for a week, and by the end their eyesight, hearing, memory, and grip strength had measurably improved

In September 1979, at an old converted Catholic monastery in the wooded countryside of Peterborough, New Hampshire — approximately 90 kilometres northwest of Boston, and approximately six months before Ellen Jane Langer would become, in the specific spring of 1981, the first female professor to receive tenure in the history of the Harvard University Department ...

Очередной выпуск гонзо-научпопа из сердца Анд. Поговорим о сукцессии

Месяц назад мы переехали из старого дома с садом в высотку-новостройку. Настолько "ново-", что стройка (отделка квартир застройщиком) еще продолжается. С точки зрения локальной экологии это значит, что местная экосистема только формируется. Обычно термин "сукцессия" применяют к ситуациям восстановления после катастроф, в частности, лесных пожаров. Но его вполне легитимно приложить и к ситуации формирования экосистемы в новосозданном [антропогенном] ландшафте. Вот как в доме в целом и квартире в частности. И Read more
