Insomma. siamo prossimi all'Olocausto nucleare o altro. E per salvarsi, i ricconi della Silicon Valley hanno capito che esiste un solo angolo del pianeta dove andare: la Nuova Zelanda. Ottima idea, no? Suggerisco l'Appennino tosco-emiliano come alternativa.
Money quote: "If you’re interested in the end of the world, you would have been interested, soon after Donald Trump’s election as US president, to read a New York Times headline stating that Peter Thiel, the billionaire venture capitalist who co-founded PayPal and was an early investor in Facebook, considered New Zealand to be “the Future”. Because if you are in any serious way concerned about the future, you’re also concerned about Thiel, a canary in capitalism’s coal mine who also happens to have profited lavishly from his stake in the mining concern itself."

La Silicon Valley? Piace a quelli che non ci lavorano (e per questo vorrebbero imitarla).
Money quote: "Sure, the country’s burgeoning tech enclaves in Utah and Kentucky and Oregon draw inspiration from the original. And sure, they’d love to have even a tiny fraction of the wealth, power, and jobs provided by a massively successful tech company. And sure, the only proven way to do that is to follow the Silicon Valley recipe of accumulating engineering talent, venture investors, incubators, and mentors. And sure, for the last decade, many cities around the country have tried to import the valley’s spirit, work ethic, and culture. Plenty have copied the Valley’s penchant for hype, too. “Could Toledo, Ohio, be the next Silicon Valley?” the PR blasts wonder. “How about Jacksonville, Florida? Care to take a media junket to tour the St. Louis tech scene?”"

Quest'uomo è un pazzo e un visionario (nel suo piccolo), però le sue idee mi piacciono. Qui parliamo di decentralizzazione.
Money quote: "The internet is the ultimate software-based network, consisting of a relatively simple core layer connecting billions of fully programmable computers at the edge. Software is simply the encoding of human thought, and as such has an almost unbounded design space. Computers connected to the internet are, by and large, free to run whatever software their owners choose. Whatever can be dreamt up, with the right set of incentives, can quickly propagate across the internet. Internet architecture is where technical creativity and incentive design intersect."

Perché adesso Jeff Bezos praticamente è sempre a Washington, intesa come capitale, oltre che a Seattle, che è nello stato di Washington, cioè tutta da un'altra parte.

Just as Bezos has busied himself pushing his Seattle company to new feats, the inventor of the “everything store” has been quietly moonlighting in a town that, friends say, he views as an everything city—a delta of diplomats and techies, military engineers and journalists, powerbrokers and problem solvers, a mélange perfectly suited to the tinkerer’s heterodox taste. Confidants report that Bezos spends more time in Washington than in any other city outside of Seattle—ten trips a year, give or take—and for good reason.

Contrordine: le smart city non vanno più di moda
Money quote: "Rome and London are two huge, sluggish beasts of cities that have outlived millennia of eager reformers. They share a world where half the people already live in cities and another couple billion are on their way into town. The population is aging quickly, the current infrastructure must crumble and be replaced by its very nature, and climate disaster is taking the place of the past’s great urban fires, wars, and epidemics. Those are the truly important, dull but worthy urban issues.
The digital techniques that smart-city fans adore are flimsy and flashy—and some are even actively pernicious—but they absolutely will be used in cities. They already have an urban heritage. When you bury fiber-optic under the curbs around the town, then you get internet. When you have towers and smartphones, then you get portable ubiquity. When you break up a smartphone into its separate sensors, switches, and little radios, then you get the internet of things."

Stop Saying 'Smart Cities'
Digital stardust won’t magically make future cities more affordable or resilient.
Il prezzo degli affitti di Tokyo è costante, mentre la città si ingrandisce sempre di più ed è sempre più centrale. San Francisco (ma anche alcune città italiane come Roma e Milano) guardano alla ricetta della capitale giapponese. La risposta è: pianificare in anticipo e costruire di più per avere prezzi abbordabili.
Money quote: "Three decades ago, at the height of Japan’s land price bubble, “affordable housing” would not have been words commonly associated with the country’s capital city. But 30 years can make quite a difference! As of 2015, the average residential rent in Tokyo was about $2.53 a square foot at current exchange rates. That’s about half the level for San Francisco. And Tokyo’s rents have held roughly constant for two decades."

Una stupenda intervista del 1947 al fotografo Robert Capa, cioè subito dopo la guerra. La personalità e lo spirito di Capa, di John Steinbeck, dei suoi intervistatori (Tex McCrary, Jinx Falkenburg) e degli altri che vengono citati vale più di un ponderoso tomo sul profilo sociologico della "Greatest generation", cioè quella cresciuta durante la Depressione e che poi avrebbe combattuto la Seconda guerra mondiale perché "era la cosa giusta da fare", che. è stata poi emulata in parte dalla Silen Generation (della quale invece ci stiamo liberando sostanzialmente ora).

Tempo d'estate, tempo di mare. Avete idea di come affogano le persone? Beh, no, non ce l'avete. Questo articolo, straordinario anche per la sua storia editoriale (è stato rifiutato da tutte le testate tradizionali e poi pubblivato nel 2010 su un blog ha fatto il botto ed è stato riacquistato decine di volte) è la cosa da leggere se andate al mare o anche in piscina.
Money quote: "The Instinctive Drowning Response, so named by Francesco A. Pia, Ph.D., is what people do to avoid actual or perceived suffocation in the water. And it does not look like most people expect it to. When someone is drowning there is very little splashing, and no waving or yelling or calling for help of any kind. To get an idea of just how quiet and undramatic drowning can be, consider this: It is the number two cause of accidental death in children age 15 and under (just behind vehicle accidents). Of the approximately 750 children who will drown next year, about 375 of them will do so within 25 yards of a parent or other adult. In 10 percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch them do it, having no idea it is happening."
