Just saw this via the London Reconnections blog and, oh my god, I think you could not do a worse job of redesigning the tube map if you tried.

“Paint all the lines the same colour. Send a train into London centre from Zone 6. Which identically coloured line does it emerge from on the other side? Fuck knows. Good luck!”

I mean, look at Oxford Circus? Which are the through lines? No? Me neither.

And this is promoted as “accessible”. God help us all.

@goatsarah there are some nice ideas, like the thickness of the lines (not that I noticed), and different stations and connections.
Losing the proper colours is obviously not going to work for anyone.
Who cares if something is overground or underground anyway?

Not enough people realize that the "Turing Test" as originally presented was "can a gay English man in 1945 tell the difference between a chatbot and a femme-coded woman" over a teletype connection.

(Turing was very gay and had a sex-segregated education and then work life: he basically didn't know women and his alienation is palpable. But today's techbros don't have any such excuse, and the emphasis on femme-coded AI is ... telling.)

If I remember correctly, psychopaths are usually male.

The film Ex Machina has a nice female psychopath bot.

Gibt es Fakten, die Vorteile von Meersalz gegenüber gewöhnlichem Salz beim Kochen belegen? So ziemlich jedes Rezept fordert den Einsatz von Meersalz, nirgends wird aber begründet. Dass es geschmackliche Vorteile hat, bzw. dass man diese herausschmecken kann, kann ich jedenfalls nicht nachvollziehen (bin aber auch kein Feinschmecker, obwohl ich unheimlich gerne koche).

Salz ist Salz.
Die Form und Größe der Körner kann eventuell einen Unterschied in der Wahrnehmung machen, solange es nicht aufgelöst wurde.

I don’t really understand why easyJet pushed a warning to be at AMS 2.5 hours early for security.

M gate security check took less than five minutes (BER was at least 15) and for the same luggage I had no secondaries (body and luggage check on BER).

American recently sent me a message to be 4 hours early at BCN for a flight to JFK.
Result: sitting around in the airport for more than three hours, plus the flight delay.
I wonder if they get commissions from the airport shops.

FUN FACT:
if you build electronic devices which contain a raspberry pi in them, consider what will happen if one of them gets thrown out.
someone might open them up, stick the microSD card in them into a reader, and open up that tantalizing "apps.json" file which has YOUR GOD DAMN AWS KEYS? IN UNENCRYPTED PLAIN TEXT?

I went to the aquarium today and there was a guy in a wetsuit pushing a penguin around on a box, back and forth through the water

someone asked why and he says, "yeah, she kinda just really likes riding on the box"

This week I enjoyed the podcast with Vitaly Pecherskiy, and the one about improv and presence.

If you like alcohol-free cocktails, the article from The Guardian has a good list, with some weird tricks, like clarifying coconut milk.

Let me see if I get this right:

A Nazi got kicked out of Nazi party, because he said the original Nazis were not all Nazis. And now other Nazi parties don't want to be associated with this Nazi party, to avoid people seeing them as Nazis.
