Le meraviglie gastronomiche di Llhasa, in pieno Queens. Ma piccole però.

Money quote: "For lovers of momos, Tibetan dumplings filled with pork or beef and heaps of chives or cilantro, Lhasa has been an open secret. Its walls, the color of creamsicle, are adorned with the American flag and a framed photograph of Bourdain with the restaurant’s owner and chef, Sang Jien Ben. The laminated menus are frayed, the daily specials are stuck to the wall, scrawled on green printer paper. The open kitchen is a fog of boiling stew pots, steam baskets, and the constant swish and thwack of freshly-rolled dough for dumplings and noodles. The Dalai Lama gazes beatifically over the proceedings from another framed portrait on a perch above the kitchen."

Una vignetta su un giornale sta rischiando di far scomparire la professione di vignettista satirico. Una
Buona lettura domenicale

Money quote: “Gérard Biard, redactor jefe de Charlie Hebdo, cree que esta medida es el reflejo de un mundo cada vez más dominado por una forma de puritanismo, entendido como un “totalitarismo de la pureza”: “Existen movimientos que se autoproclaman defensores únicos de una causa o de una comunidad. Ven el mundo en blanco y negro, buenos frente a malos; ellos representan al bien y tienen que erradicar el mal. Y el problema es que nos sometemos a eso”.”

Dovremmo ripensare a come si guidano le auto, e preparare gli automobilisti proprio come si aggiornano i piloti quando gli aerei di linea sono diventati più digitali

Money quote: "Luckily, there is another mode of transportation that has gone through a very similar technological transformation: airplanes. The 40 years of research and real-world challenges in the airline industry are replete with lessons, including how to best prepare drivers for this transformation.

In talking with several researchers who have studied so-called “human factor” issues extensively, as well as pilots about their experience in the aviation industry, the word I heard most often about the auto industry’s approach is “concerning.”"

Si, lo so, lo so: la ricetta della vera pizza napoletana. Fatta da uno straniero (tedesco di Amburgo). Su GitHub. Però, però... Se non altro è interessante che si possa utilizzare GitHub anche per questo, no?

Money quote: "This recipe is dedicated to helping you make the best possible pizza dough for Neapolitan pizza. My personal motivation has always been to recreate one of my childhood memories - a pizza in a small restaurant named Panorama in the Italian city of Olang(Valdaora1). For years I have been obsessed with tasting different pizzas, observing how the pizzaioli make the dough. I have tried endless times, discussed with people from all over the world. This repo is dedicated to sharing my quest of figuring out the best possible pizza dough. Please note - this guide is scoped to the dough only, not the actual baking/topping of the pizza."

Se state negli Usa e avete Comcast, potete cambiare canale sbattendo gli occhi. Anche così, chi è che guarda ancora la tv?

Money quote: "Wlodkowski says that channel surfing is just the beginning. Soon Comcast’s eye-gaze technology will be integrated with the company’s smart home services, allowing customers to turn on lights, control the thermostat, or open the door with their eyes. He says that Comcast isn’t collecting user data from its accessibility programs. “Entertainment should be enjoyable by everyone without having to disclose their disabilities” he tells Quartz. No data is kept unless customers specifically request that their preferences be logged on their file, he says."

Mo' te lo dico parlare con gli sconosciuti non è così male, https://www.bbc.com/news/world-48459940?utm_source=Gmi+Mailchimp+Integration+Prod+List&utm_campaign=b0c67448af-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_07_08_04_14_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ff3735a749-b0c67448af-56999793, a me è capitato la settimana scorsa al cinema: 💬 ho fatto due chiacchiere parlando di film e Banderas con una signora che mi ha salutato dicendo "scusa, ma non sono timida". Ah io fossi in te Almodovar andrei a vederlo.
Modaioli ma ambientalmente responsabili. È possibile. E non parlo di abiti riciclabili brutti come la fame. Bensì, abbigliamento con moderazione ma gusto e attenzione ai dettagli.

Money quote: "It’s becoming clear that frequent consumption of anything—especially overly trendy, seasonal, or fleeting fashion—is environmentally damaging, unnecessary, and irresponsible.

As we begin to eliminate or discourage all the plastic bags, containers, straws, and other temporary items used in food service and grocery, so too are the excesses of unsustainable apparel becoming apparent.
How does one reconcile the seemingly opposed motivations of being stylish and excited by fashion while also living a small-footprint lifestyle?

There are a number of strategies and practices that can help."

Non li uso, ma sono curioso. Vita, morte e anche qualche miracolo degli RSS

Money quote: "About a decade ago, the average internet user might well have heard of RSS. Really Simple Syndication, or Rich Site Summary—what the acronym stands for depends on who you ask—is a standard that websites and podcasts can use to offer a feed of content to their users, one easily understood by lots of different computer programs. Today, though RSS continues to power many applications on the web, it has become, for most people, an obscure technology.

The story of how this happened is really two stories. The first is a story about a broad vision for the web’s future that never quite came to fruition. The second is a story about how a collaborative effort to improve a popular standard devolved into one of the most contentious forks in the history of open-source software development."

Fotografi che vogliono essere "leggeri"

Money quote: "After much deliberation and experimentation, I settled on Adobe Lightroom CC with their cloud service as my main image storage and editing platform. The scaled down desktop app provides everything I need for my editing. Over the course of a week or so, I uploaded all of my images into the Adobe cloud. Prior to beaming everything up, I did a good bit of Spring cleaning, ruthlessly deleting a lot of old work. As of this writing, I have 32,000 images in the Adobe cloud. My subnoscription is for both Lightroom Classic CC and the CC cloud only app. When it comes time for renewal, I expect to move to CC cloud exclusively. That will cost me a mere $10 a month for the cloud storage I need."
