Siccome quelli di 1Password utilizzano alla grande il software open source, hanno deciso di rilasciare abbonamenti annuali gratuiti (perché 1Password, che è un fantastico gestore di password e non solo per Mac, Win, Linux, iOS, Android etc, non è più un prodotto ma un servizio con canone annuale) per il mondo open source. Applicare è abbastanza semplice.

Cosa serve per capire meglio come funziona un DNS? Questa è una buona idea: scrivere i suoi messaggi a mano...
Money quote: "Writing binary sounds difficult, but I actually found it quite approachable. The DNS documentation is well written and easy to follow, and the message we’ll write is short - only 29 bytes long."

In generale l’idea che sulla Terra ci sia stato tempo e spazio per un’altra civiltà industriale prima della nostra è considerata una stupidaggine. Ma forse non è proprio così.
Money quote: “Given that all direct evidence would be long gone after many millions of years, what kinds of evidence might then still exist? The best way to answer this question is to figure out what evidence we’d leave behind if human civilization collapsed at its current stage of development.”

La storia di Palantir. Peter Thiel doveva essere proprio un bel personaggio. Si cominciano a capire sempre più cose... bella inchiesta!
Money quote: “It all ended when the bank’s senior executives learned that they, too, were being watched, and what began as a promising marriage of masters of big data and global finance descended into a spying scandal. The misadventure, which has never been reported, also marked an ominous turn for Palantir, one of the most richly valued startups in Silicon Valley. An intelligence platform designed for the global War on Terror was weaponized against ordinary Americans at home”

È domenica, tempo per la storia di una foto particolare: la Terra Levante
Money quote: "In today’s visually bombarded world it’s hard to imagine the immediate, global impact of that single image. The picture that came to be known as “Earthrise” offered a precious moment of transcendence after a year of violence and turmoil. The following year it was made into a U.S. postage stamp, and it adorned the cover of the Whole Earth Catalog. Walter Cronkite used it as a backdrop on the “CBS Evening News.” Wilderness photographer Galen Rowell called it “the most influential environmental photograph ever taken,” and it’s no accident that 16 months after we saw ourselves from the Moon, the first Earth Day took place."

Lettura per la domenica. La storia di una persona autistica e il modo con il quale chi ha delle disabilità mentali ma è comunque in parte funzionale può farcela: è compito della società creare i presupposti e l'accompagnamento. Perché si tratta di una cosa complessa.
Money quote: "A lot of disabled or mentally ill people are able to work a job, pay rent, and get by through an elaborate system of compromise and sacrifice. We may have abandoned career paths that were too demanding of our mental energy, or lost relationships that were too socially or emotionally taxing. We may neglect exercise or beloved hobbies in order to find the time to get work done and make the money we need to survive. We may devote ourselves to rigid schedules that allow us to be professionally productive, but make other life tasks impossible. Or we may be forced to isolate more often than we’d truly like, in order to recharge from the daily efforts of getting by."

Due fake celebrities, in realtà due Bot, litigano di brutto perché uno ha hackerato l'altro, e si minacciano a vicenda. Il mondo sta diventando interessante ma anche molto, molto strano.
Money quote: "On Tuesday, the Instagram account of Miquela Sousa — also known as @LilMiquela, a 19-year-old Brazilian-American model, singer, and Instagram personality with almost a million followers — appeared to have been hacked by a blonde, pro-Trump troll named Bermuda, or @BermudaIsBae. Over the course of about eight hours, Bermuda wiped Lil Miquela’s account clean, posting photos of herself instead with threatening captions like: “You can’t have your account back until you promise to tell people the truth.”
But wait, it gets wilder: Neither Lil Miquela nor Bermuda are real people. They’re computer-generated avatars with anonymous creators."

The book notes and ratings are rather subjective, based on where I was in my life when I read that book. These are not meant as a replacement for reading but perhaps they can help in giving you a few recommendations to add to your reading list."

C’è ancora speranza per i libri di carta?

Globally, the number of private libraries is much larger still—because who’s to say that even a humble shelf of Penguin or Pocket paperbacks doesn’t qualify as a private library?”

La lezione di Nintendo: le buone idee si cercano, non arrivano da sole - il mio articolo per La Stampa

La lezione di Nintendo: le buone idee si cercano, non arrivano da sole

La Voce offre una spiegazione semplice e lineare al collasso praticamente definitivo di Alitalia, che sta per passare di mano (Lufthansa, a quanto pare). Il punto è semplice: nel 2016-2017 l'azienda romana ha tagliato sui costi del lavoro ma è rimasta vincolata da contratti sfavorevoli (negligentemente?) sulle forniture. Ha però dovuto abbassare i prezzi dei biglietti per via della concorrenza. Risultato? Il disavanzo è esploso. Fine di Alitalia, anche se la cosa si cerca di non dirla, dato che il bilancio non è stato pubblicato.
Money quote: "Nel 2016 il gruppo Lufthansa ha ridotto i costi industriali per passeggero km del 5,4 per cento, principalmente grazie al calo del carburante, e del 5,2 per cento i proventi unitari. In sostanza, ha trasferito ai suoi clienti, attraverso minori prezzi, i risparmi di costo conseguiti e altrettanto han fatto gli altri vettori, low cost e tradizionali. Alitalia non è invece riuscita a ridurre i costi, ingessati da contratti sfavorevoli, ma ha dovuto egualmente ridurre i prezzi a causa della concorrenza sul mercato, peggiorando di conseguenza il suo disavanzo. Questa è la semplice, ma sinora sconosciuta, ragione del dissesto."

Non c’è alcun mistero nella nuova crisi di Alitalia. L’azienda, che già perdeva in passato, ha avuto un disavanzo molto più alto nel 2016 perché ha dovuto abbassare i prezzi, ma senza poter ridurre i costi, come invece hanno fatto i vettori concorrenti.

La bellezza dei giardini ingegnerizzati come si faceva una volta, con sapienza secolare e low-tech, a Pantelleria
Money quote: "Giardini Panteschi have been described as self-sufficient agronomic systems, because they create a nano-climate that simultaneously waters the tree, protects it from relentless wind, retains any rainwater channeled into the garden under the access door during rare rainstorms, allows in sunlight, and radiates stored solar warmth on cold nights. Once built, it “operates” without any need for further human intervention."

Il sogno di ogni singolo titolista inglese è diventato realtà, quando è uscito uno studio della rivista Nature in cui venivano enumerate le nuove scoperte riguardanti il pianeta Urano, rese possibile da un nuovo tipo di telescopio. Una di queste è che il pianeta puzza di zolfo, il che, tradotto in titolo da giornale, diventa: “Uranus smells bad” o, per i più creativi, “smell like farts”.
Tradotto: “Il tuo ano puzza” o “sa di scorregge”.
Perché anche gli scienziati sono stati dei bambini con dei sogni. Fuori uno.
