“We need to get better at treating this like a business,” ICE Acting Director Todd M. Lyons said at a border security conference in April, according to the Arizona Mirror.

The administration’s goal, he said, was to deport immigrants as efficiently as Amazon moves packages:

“Like Prime, but with human beings.”

Commercial real estate experts say concentrating detainees in warehouses would create its own logistical problems. Such structures are designed for storage and shipping, not human habitation.

They tend to be poorly ventilated and lack precise temperature controls — and, because they are typically located far from residential areas, they may not have access to the plumbing and sanitation systems needed to support thousands of full-time residents.

“It’s dehumanizing,” said Tania Wolf, an advocate with the National Immigration Project who is based in New Orleans — about one hour south from the site of a planned warehouse in Hammond, La.

“You’re treating people, for lack of a better term, like cattle.”

Nazi Germany’s Reichsbahn treated humans as "cargo," optimizing logistics via transit "warehouses" and standardized "bulk shipments."

By integrating cattle-car transports into national rail schedules, they achieved terrifying efficiency, managing millions like a routine industrial supply chain.

Hi guys, just wanted to take a minute to wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year, most of all good health! These days people don't spend much time or thought on some personal words to their friends and family, they just copy and paste some random message and send it on. So I just want to thank you and wish you a happy and fulfilling 2018 - you’re the best gymnastics group anyone could ask for. Helen x

와중에 최남매... 피붙이끼리고 그냥 따로 보면 남?매?인데 묘하게 닮은 구석 있는 게 좋아. 눈이 큼직하고 동그란 아미... 윤도 의외로 놀?람?쪽 서술이 굳이 눈을 동그랗게 떴다는 설명이라(+자택)... 물론 흔한 서술인데, 장소와 상황을 두면 일부러 택한 표현이지 않을가 한 오타쿠.

# Ask Hackers Pub : 이번 주말에 뭐 하시나요?

이번 주말에 뭘 하려고 계획 중인지 편하게 얘기해 보아요.
읽을 책, 가볼 곳, 해볼 것.. 어떤 것이든 좋습니다.
도움 요청이나 피드백 요청도 좋습니다.
물론! 아무것도 하지 않고 쉬는 것도 훌륭합니다.

* 지난 주말에 계획하셨던 일의 회고도 한 번 남겨보면 좋을 것 같아요.

I had this desire to play Tetris. I have a retro emulation handheld with basically everything from the 8 and 16 bit era on it.

I tried every variation of Tetris I could find on every platform, and somehow the best one is still the original gameboy? Every other port/sequel seems to feel the need to alter -something-, which in the process makes it worse.

Control changes, graphical weirdness, strange modes, odd music choices.

Like, I just figured maybe there was a colour version of the gameboy version, but seemingly they just HAD to mess with a winner.

Anyway, here I am, in 2025, still playing the original gameboy release of Tetris as it's still a great handheld game.

So, tell me I'm wrong! What's your favourite (came out for a console) version of Tetris? Something useable on a modern emulation handheld?

也許預設的節奏設得太快了 https://www.raptitude.com/2025/12/maybe-the-default-settings-are-too-high/

作者以自己重讀《魔戒》(Lord of the Rings, LOTR) 的經驗開場:他花兩個月才讀到第一部結尾,原因不是不喜歡,而是刻意用「朗讀」把速度限制在「嘴巴的速度」而非「眼睛的速度」,避免趕進度、漏掉細節、最後反而失去興致。起初他擔心 1500 頁會讀太久,但轉念想到「既然享受,何必急著結束」,於是乾脆再放慢到近乎荒謬的程度,把每句話都當成關鍵句,逗點停一下、句號後讓餘韻多留一拍,結果是中土世界的畫面、情緒與重量更自然地在腦中「長出來」,越不理會想快轉到名場面的衝動,閱讀體驗反而越好。

他把這種「放慢才更有收穫」的現象類比到吃東西:吃慢一點,少量食物就更能吃出滿足,因為你給每一口更多注意力,反而更容易接收到自己原本想追求的「好東西」(愉悅、滋味、飽足)。相反地,正因為急著得到那份滿足才吃得快,結果卻錯過多數感受。他也用吸塵器比喻:推得太快吸不乾淨,慢一點才吸得到更深層的灰塵;人腦接收意義與欣賞的「機制」也需要時間把連結做完整。

因此他主張應該質疑自己在閱讀、飲食乃至各種「消費/吸收」行為上的預設速度。除了個人急躁,現代生活面對無限供給(書、零食、知識、內容),很容易把「攝取速率」的旋鈕轉太高,內在卻像在輸送帶前手忙腳亂,來不及消化就往下吞。他提醒「少即是多、慢慢來」之所以變成陳腔濫調,往往是因為我們把它們也用太快的速度讀過、轉述過,以致於沒真的感受到其深意;不妨把閱讀、資訊、食物等攝取速度降到一半甚至三分之一,觀察自己那股想衝刺的衝動,以及慢下來後回報如何「自動釋放」。

他進一步指出,速度也會改變品味:用很認真的注意力去讀廉價的快餐內容(例如他提到的 AI slop,指大量低品質、流水線式產出的 AI 內容),只會更清楚看見其空洞;反而是濃密、精心寫成的作品,在不匆忙時更容易讀懂,意義會「綻放」。食物亦然:細細品嚐廉價加工食品會嘗到刺鼻與單薄;專心吃自製點心會發現層次更多。他把這連到文化面:當大眾習慣追逐表層、快速的回饋,文化就更傾向供應這種東西,如短影音、加工食品、特效堆疊的電影、未經檢驗的政治話術;而歷史上許多「慢」的消費方式其實曾是常態(例如直到 18 世紀,默讀才逐漸普及)。結論是:幾乎任何事,只要給更多時間與意圖,就更令人滿足,甚至包含寫購物清單、去信箱拿信這種小事。

Hacker News 討論多數認同「慢下來才吃得到價值」,並補充不同媒介的實作方式。有人推薦由 Andy Serkis 朗讀的新版《魔戒》有聲書,認為專業演員能讓容易略讀的描寫段落變得有詩意、也更不易恍神;也有人分享把《哈比人》或《魔戒》讀給小孩聽的經驗,表示這種慢讀不只強化親子連結,還可能激發孩子開始寫故事。另有讀者把主題延伸到「走路」:步行像是高解析體驗,能看見沿途細節;開車則像壓縮檔,速度換來的是大量細節的流失。

同時也出現保留意見:有人指出「是否值得放慢」取決於內容本身,尤其小說的機會成本(Opportunity Cost,指把時間用在 A 就無法用在 B 的代價)很高,不可能對所有作品一律慢讀。也有人討論「慢時代作品 vs 現代作品」的差異,認為《魔戒》是較慢節奏年代的產物,現代仍有能慢讀的書,但類型文學(特別是奇幻)常預設讀者熟悉類托爾金的世界觀。還有人把概念類比到網路內容與工具選擇:把短影音比作超加工食品,主張以更高品質內容、並以更高注意力去「好好消費」;也有人反向提醒音樂是特例,播放速度多半由演奏者決定,問題不在「太快」而可能是日常聆聽的注意力「太低」,需要透過關掉干擾、戴耳機或走進音樂廳來把注意力拉高。
