Apple e la scuola: un amore antico - Macitynet.it
L’atipico evento di martedì all’insegna del settore education, dove Cupertino da sempre ha un occhio di riguardo
Oggi la chiamerebbero "una idea di business disruptive" e verrebbe paragonato a Elon Musk. Ma questo liutaio newyorkese che faceva miracoli con la spazzatura è in realtà un geniale artigiano. O no?
Money quote: "New York violin maker Samuel A. Stochek had a different approach. In the 1940s, his tonewood came not from renowned European mountain ranges, but from 19th-century New York buildings and houses under demolition during the Great Depression. Though his sources were unorthodox, his success was undeniable. Stochek’s floorboard violins were played in Carnegie Hall by the world’s most famous violinists."

The One Difference Between The Male and Female Brain That Most People Don’t Know About, And How It Could Be Hurting Your Relationships
Nel frattempo, proprio su quest'ultima segnalazione, mi scrive Mattia Giovanni *:
Member quote: "La sociologa Catherine Hakim sostiene da anni l'esistenza di un "deficit sessuale maschile", per cui *nel corso di tutta la vita* (quindi non considerando solo gli anni in cui il desiderio sessuale in entrambi i sessi è al culmine), *mediamente*, i maschi vogliono più sesso. Non c'è storia 🙂
http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0268580915569090
Ho letto il suo libro "Capitale Erotico": a parte il fatto che ogni tanto pecca nel voler tirare fuori la teoria del tutto (col risultato che tira un po' di cose per i capelli), l'ho trovato interessante - ma non sono un sociologo e non ho le basi per difendere scientificamente la sua teoria."
E questo paper peraltro andrebbe letto perché la spara abbastanza grossa (meno male che lo scrive una donna...)
Money quote: "The male sexual deficit (or surplus male sexuality) helps to explain sexual harassment, sexual violence, rape, rising demand for commercial sexual services and other behaviours that are almost exclusively male."

Photos from the "March for Our Lives"
Hundreds of thousands of Americans are taking to the streets today in hundreds of coordinated protests, calling for lawmakers to address school safety and gun violence.
Diplomazia cinetica. Se ne ho sentiti di eufemismi ipocriti, questo decisamente li batte tutti o quasi tutti. Ed è l'altro lato della medaglia: quello che succede quando si taglia il budget ma si lasciano i cani lupi liberi
Money quote: "As of March 2018, the Trump administration has appointed only 70 of 188 U.S. ambassadors. At the same time, it has increased the deployment of special operations forces to 149 countries – up from 138 during the Obama administration in 2016. So while U.S. ambassadors are operating in one-third of the world’s capitals, special operations forces are active in three-fourths."

Abbiamo tutti rinunciato alla nostra privacy. Non fare niente perché già lo sapevamo non è un buon argomento. Averne invece preso coscienza è una buona cosa. Agire è meglio.

Pensavate che il problema fosse Facebook? Non avete visto ancora niente, dice Doc Searls, perché il vero problema è che tutto il mondo dell’editoria digitale funziona così. Tutti i giornali. Tutti i siti. E ne vedremo delle belle.

What studies reveal about the good and the bad of loving a sports team
I governatori non se li ricorda nessuno (forse). Eppure cambiano la realtà delle cose. In questo caso, l'attuale governatore della California Jerry Brown è veramente mitico (e questo articolo spettacolare).
Money quote: "Brown turns 80 in April. First elected in 1974 at the age of 36, he was one of the youngest governors in California’s history; today, he holds the distinction of being its oldest. What’s left of his hair he wears buzzed close to the scalp, his thick eyebrows gone to white. He cultivates the look of a professor emeritus — striped Oxford shirts and crew-neck sweaters, dark boxy suits and black slip-on loafers. A Fitbit adorns his left wrist. His face, thicker now, has lost its boyishness, and there is a scar on his nose from a procedure he had to remove a cancerous growth. His gaze, though, remains unchanged, by turns puckish and withering."
