Addio al salotto. Parola di giovane Millennial per i quali il salotto non appartiene più né allo spirito né allea disponibiltà eonomica di una generazione rassegnata a dire addio a questo spazio condiviso nelle case. Ciao salotto.

Gli ultimi arrivati nel mondo dell'hi-tech si beccano le cose migliori, o meglio le più nuove. In questo caso, la prima elezione al mondo in cui i voti non solo erano elettronici ma per di più registrati con una blockchain è il Sierra Leone (anche se pare che sia stata tutta una finta, successivamente smentita)
Money quote: "The citizens of Sierra Leone went to the polls on March 7 but this time something was different: the country recorded votes at 70% of the polling to the blockchain using a technology that is the first of its kind in actual practice.
The tech, created by Leonardo Gammar of Agora, anonymously stored votes in an immutable ledger, thereby offering instant access to the election results."

Quando Microsoft ha comprato Github, la loro principale piattaforma, il mondo degli sviluppatori open si è arrabbiato. Inutilmente...
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).

A New York hanno ritrovato per caso due scatoloni pieni di diapositive scattate dai fotografi del giornale nel 1978 che si credevano perdute. E oggi, oltre alla mostra in galleria, è stata montata anche questa pagina fantastica. Un viaggio nel tempo.

Long-forgotten pictures capture escape and discovery in the city’s parks.
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."

L'affascinante storia culturale dei Tarocchi: dall'Antico Egitto ai giorni nostri. E il ruolo dell'Italia è ovviamente notevole. Ma si tratta di un esercizio di psicanalisi antelitteram, non vi sbagliate
Money quote: "Tarot historians – few of them orthodox scholars – have long sought to reduce the symbolism of the triumphs, or ‘trumps’, to a single system. In 1966, the librarian Gertrude Moakley pinned them to Petrarch’s much-depicted poem sequence I Trionfi, which charted the procession of the allegorical figures Love, Chastity, Death, Fame, Time and Eternity. In 1972, the writer on the occult Paul Huson linked them to the late-medieval artistic tradition of the Danse Macabre, in which a host of tarot-like characters – the Pope, Emperor, Death – processed to the grave. Most recently, in A Cultural History of Tarot (2009), the Australian scholar Helen Farley detailed close allegorical correspondences between the trumps and the values asserted by Filippo Maria Visconti, the early 15th-century Duke of Milan whose court produced the most influential painted deck"

The truth about tarot
Whether divining ancient wisdoms or elevating the art of cold reading, tarot is a form of therapy, much like psychoanalysis
Lo compro da anni, mi piace molto, ma finora lo consideravo alla pari con The Paris Review oppure con il fratellastro The Believer. Invece, da oggi, McSweeney's, il trimestrale fondato da Dave Eggers e alcuni amici suoi, è ufficialmente geniale e stop. Non c'è più partita: hanno vinto!
Money quote: "Packed in Issue 53’s purpose-built ziplock bag are seven stories printed on eight party balloons, which one must blow up to read. Gracing these particolored balloons are arresting new stories from Carmen Maria Machado, Percival Everett, Lauren Groff, Kima Jones, Amelia Gray, Rebecca Makkai, and Sarah Wisby. You’ll also find, alongside these inflatable stories, a vinyl-bound hardcover containing electrostatically charged new work from Lesley Nneka Arimah, Jamie Figueroa, Namwali Serpell, C Pam Zhang, and many more besides.
Perfect for decorating a birthday party, reading and then popping as a zen meditation, or repeatedly blowing up and releasing in order to observe their whimsical flight around the room, these balloons will provide endless enrichment or a momentary distraction as they burst—reader’s choice!
Inside Issue 53 you’ll uncover a medically inexplicable hunger for forks, a world of unclothed single women, a bevy of dead dads infesting a city, a mystical power within the dismembered torso of a mummified bishop, and oh so much more."

Questo canale, Mostly, I Write, va avanti da un bel po' e, non so se lo avete notato, i link che condivido sono sempre "puliti", per quanto è possibile. Niente affiliazioni, niente amp (se riesco), niente tracker. Dopo averli ripuliti a mano uno per uno, mi è anche venuta la curiosità di saperne qualcosa di più sul funzionamento e gli utilizzi degli UTM la parte che segue l'indirizzo normale e fa da meccanismo di tracciamento di chi clicca su un link.
Interessante spiegazione.
Money quote: "A UTM code is a simple code that you can attach to a custom URL in order to track a source, medium, and campaign name. This enables Google Analytics to tell you where searchers came from as well as what campaign directed them to you. A common use of UTM code is to create a vanity URL for each offline campaign, and then redirect that URL to whatever forwarding address you assign to it — most likely your main domain. This will give you the ability to track how a weekly newspaper ad, coupon, radio ad, or TV commercial is working without having to create custom landing pages for each campaign. By creating a separate UTM code for TV commercials and print ads, for example, you can get data on which generates more traffic, conversions, etc. Furthermore, you can track not only the source and the medium (radio, newspaper, coupon, etc.), but even individual campaign names like “Fall Chevy Sale.”"

Adoro le mie AirPods e non potrei tornare indietro ai modelli con il filo o ad altre tipologie di auricolari Bluetooth.

Il capitale di ventura, elemento essenziale per lo sviluppo delle economie digitali, sta crescendo in Cina (Pechino e Shanghai). Di brutto.
Money quote: “Silicon Valley tech startups pulled in the most funding of any metro region globally during the last six years at $140 billion, according to CB Insights’ Global Tech Hubs Report, which the New York-based research firm published Tuesday. But Beijing and Shanghai startups appear to be working to keep pace, reeling in $72 billion and $23 billion, respectively—meaning startups in the two cities added $95 billion between 2012 and 2018, according to the document, which focused on the top 25 metro area tech hubs in the world.
That level of investment in Beijing and Shanghai is thanks to large rounds for companies such as Didi, Toutiao, Mobike, and Ele.me, CB Insights says. On top of that, the two Chinese cities have 40 “unicorn” tech companies between them (companies with billion-dollar valuations), compared to the 57 that exist in the Silicon Valley.”

Rifiutarono di farla partecipare alla cena in onore di Charles Dickens, che era venuto a visitare New York. E lei per tutta risposta fonda il primo club per sole donne negli Usa, "Sorosis", il nome scientifico di una parte del fiore che sta fruttando. Il resto è storia, scandalosa per i benpensanti dell'epoca, ma sempre storia. Inclusa la location: il ristorante newyorkese Delmonico.

Not only had Charles Dickens been hosted there (he declined Croly’s invitation to attend the first Sorosis meeting), but Delmonico’s was the culinary center of America. Founded in 1827 as a pastry shop, Delmonico’s became America’s first true restaurant, an island of good taste and good food in a country previously indifferent to fine cuisine. During its mid-century glory years, the kitchen was ruled by French chef Charles Ranhofer, who created dishes such as Lobster Newburg for the politicians, luminaries, and upper crust who frequented Delmonico’s. Croly made the restaurant Sorosis’s headquarters."
