Money quote: “ donde vivo, aquí en el morro, hay unos agujeros, especie de fosos, que cuando llueve mucho uno o dos sapos se quedan encerrados y si no los sacas se mueren, esos fosos se llenan de porquerías y los sapos acaban muriéndose. Los supersticiosos dicen que los sapos son venenosos, deben ser venenosos para quien los maltrata”

Money quote: "When citizens of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in June 2016, most observers were stunned. The polls had predicted a victory for the “Remain” campaign. And common sense made it hard to believe that Britons would do something so obviously contrary to their self-interest. But neither common sense nor the polling data fully accounted for a crucial factor: the new power of social platforms to amplify negative messages."

And the machines aren't even the real threat. What we need to understand is how the powerful might use AI to control us -- and what we can do in response."

Self storage, la Passione di alcuni. Gli Stati Uniti sono vivono sommersi dai beni che accumulano, schiacciati da una obesità culturale che li sovrasta. E ovviamente hanno trovato il modo di costruirci sopra un business. Anzi, più di uno. Ma questo in particolare è il più singolare: gli alberghi delle cose.
Money quote: "One in 11 Americans pays an average of $91.14 per month to use self-storage, finding a place for the material overflow of the American dream. According to SpareFoot, a company that tracks the self-storage industry, the United States boasts more than 50,000 facilities and roughly 2.311 billion square feet of rentable space. In other words, the volume of self-storage units in the country could fill the Hoover Dam with old clothing, skis, and keepsakes more than 26 times."
Money quote2: "Though the adage “sex sells” is hard to dispute, the decidedly unsexy self-storage industry made $32.7 billion in 2016, according to Bloomberg, nearly three times Hollywood’s box office gross."

Ma non è finita. Perché nonostante si provi a fare de-clutter, in realtà le cose ingombranti e disordinate stanno vincendo.
Money quote: "Clutter, like Satan, can assume many forms. It can present as a once-used bread machine or Lego hair that’s come unsnapped from its person. It can look like Tupperware without its assigned top, garden tools when there’s no garden, expired coupons, a bottle of hardened glue, a mushy basketball that will never again bounce."

il caso Facebook-Cambridge Analytica non ci dice che “il Re è nudo” ma ha piuttosto scoperchiato un vaso di Pandora da cui stanno uscendo i mostri che l’accelerazione della vita connessa associata a un’economia neo-liberale ha generato.
Un insieme di problemi reali che abbiamo cominciato da poco a trattare come ossessioni collettive di cui parliamo molto ma che non si traducono in comportamenti comuni o in regolamentazioni applicabili.
Parlare di privacy violata, denunciare gli algoritmi, accusare “la Rete” di manipolazione costituisce per ora una strategia discorsiva che non ha avuto la forza di tradursi in una preoccupazione culturale diffusa

Most businesses fail in their first year. Yet here we are, one of the largest open-source communities ever assembled, collectively building software that will run on millions of computers around the world. To know that your work was meaningful, and that a vibrant community of people will continue building upon it…. can any founder ask for anything more?"

La proposta di matrimonio. Rimettiamo in discussione l’istituto, sono d’accordo.
Ma mi aspettavo qualcosa di più da The Atlantic
Money quote: “But for a lot of heterosexual couples, the proposal—as movies portray it, as many millennial women have internalized it—doesn’t reflect the kind of modern, egalitarian relationships many women want today. Whom to marry is among the most important decisions most people will ever make in their lives, and yet it’s not a choice made in the course of a conversation—the normal way two grown humans make big life decisions. Instead, it has to be a show, with a prefixed grand finale: “yes.””

Cloudflare ha lanciato il suo indirizzo DNS: 1.1.1.1 - Lo ha lanciato il primo di aprile ma non è uno scherzo, c'è un motivo (oltre a una tradizione: Apple per esempio si è incorporata il primo di aprile del 1976).
Money quote: "The only question that remained was when to launch the new service? This is the first consumer product Cloudflare has ever launched, so we wanted to reach a wider audience. At the same time, we're geeks at heart. 1.1.1.1 has 4 1s. So it seemed clear that 4/1 (April 1st) was the date we needed to launch it."
Sto provando a usarlo. Pare andare molto veloce. Prima usavo quello di Google (8.8.8.8) quando mi ricordavo di scastrarmi da quelli dei fornitori di servizio. Sono ben lieto di lasciare il DNS di Google perché Cloudflare, a differenza di Google, fa esplicite promesse di privacy. Siamo appena all'inizio, vi saprò dire. Fa tutto parte della mia personale "privacy transformation" o "privacy plan 42" di cui un giorno, forse, vi parlerò
Money quote2: "We talked to the APNIC team about how we wanted to create a privacy-first, extremely fast DNS system. They thought it was a laudable goal. We offered Cloudflare's network to receive and study the garbage traffic in exchange for being able to offer a DNS resolver on the memorable IPs. And, with that, 1.1.1.1 was born."

Cloudflare lancia il suo server DNS: 1.1.1.1, la privacy prima di tutto - il mio articolo per Macity
Money quote: "Quando presentarlo? Per la prima volta quelli di Cloudflare avevano un prodotto consumer. Quale momento migliore di quello scritto nel nome stesso: quattro volte 1, cioè 4×1, è simile al modo con il quale si scrivono le date in angloamericano (numero del mese seguito dal giorno, anziché numero del giorno seguito da mese come da noi). Il 4/1 sembra così il primo di aprile, omaggio anche alla Apple che scelse con spirito giocoso, goliardico e hacker (ma anche di marketing) di registrarsi come società alla camera di commercio della Silicon Valley il primo di aprile del 1976."
