In 1844, Samuel Morse tapped out ‘What hath God wrought’ from the US Capitol to a Baltimore railroad depot, and the four-word message took 38 miles of copper wire and a verse his friend’s daughter had chosen from the Book of Numbers

On May 24, 1844, Samuel Morse sat in the basement of the US Capitol and tapped a four-word verse from the Book of Numbers down 38 miles of copper wire to Baltimore — a message chosen by his friend's 17-year-old daughter, encoded in an alphabet his assistant had built by counting letters in a newspaper typesetter's case.

Psychology says people who forget names almost immediately after meeting someone may not be rude, scattered, or bad with people — their brain may simply never have encoded the name before the conversation moved on

Forgetting a name seconds after hearing it is usually an encoding failure, not a character flaw. Names are arbitrary labels with no meaning to hook onto (the Baker/baker paradox), and they arrive at the worst moment for attention (the next-in-line effect). What actually helps, and what it does not excuse. Read more

Как мы перестали толкать и начали тянуть(AWS ECR)

Хочу рассказать про несколько новых возможностей AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR), о которых, как мне кажеться, знают немногие.Когда мы только начали использовать ECR, это был совсем простой сервис: настроил репозиторий, положил туда образ - и забыл. Но каждый раз, возвращаясь к документации по очередному поводу, я обнаруживал, что функциональности там стало заметно больше, чем в прошлый раз. В какой-то момент этих «незамеченных» фич накопилось достаточно, чтобы пересобрать всю нашу схему... Read more

Результативное обучение сотрудников: почему зависит не только от команды L&D, но и от зрелости компании

Обучение проводится, поведение и результаты не меняются — распространенная ситуация в корпоративном обучении. По данным исследования Сберуниверситета, только 42% участников измеряют влияние обучения сотрудников на ключевые показатели бизнеса.Сначала я думал, что проблема в несовпадении ожиданий. Команды L&D создают решения, которые помогают достичь учебных целей — передать знания и отработать навыки. Бизнес ожидает изменения конкретных результатов работы сотрудников — роста конверсии, качества, сокращения с Read more

Rolex has no owner because of a 1945 foundation a grieving widower built after his wife died — and it’s now the company’s sharpest competitive weapon

When Hans Wilsdorf's wife Florence died in 1944, the Bavarian-born founder of Rolex built a Geneva foundation that has owned every share of the company since 1960. Eight decades later, that grief-born structure is the reason Rolex can under-produce, never discount, and out-think every shareholder-owned competitor in luxury. Read more

The quiet reason older adults stop attending reunions isn’t fading interest, it’s the slow recognition that nostalgia requires both parties to remember the same version of the past

Older adults often disappear from reunion guest lists not because they've lost interest, but because they've quietly discovered that nostalgia only works when both people remember the same version of the past — and the matching copies are getting harder to find. Read more
