New research from The Atlantic about the working day

After March 2020, due to remote work, people began to work not from 9 to 5, but from 9 to 22. If earlier workers had 2 peaks of activity, now there are 3 of them - another, small one appears. late evening. This is called "triple peak day". Why is the work day so long? The fact is that remote work is not monolithic: I worked for 20 minutes, flipped through the tape, made tea. Although one can argue about the monolithic activity in the office, the general logic is clear. And endless phone calls lengthen the day - now people have to spend 250% more time in all sorts of meetings.

Dolphins help to catch fish

In the town of Laguna in southern Brazil, dolphins often help local fishermen. A group of dolphins drives a school of fish to the shore, at this time the fishermen stand in shallow water. Then one of the dolphins turns over at the right moment, which serves as a sign for the fishermen to throw the nets into the water. The advantage of dolphins is that they feast on fish that have escaped the nets and swim towards them. No one specifically trained dolphins for this behavior, and the first mention of cooperation dates back to 1847.
