La distanza fra un sito o una app come Pocket, Nuzzle o Refind, che permettono di aggregare o trovare e leggere contenuto di altre testate, e Uncrate, è minima. Però nei dettagli è enorme: Uncrate è anche un sito/app di ecommerce dedicata agli uomini (si immagina, tendenzialmente bianchi e sulla quarantina) che vogliano essere virilmente maschili. Ecco, tra l’altro gli ci è voluto del tempo ma alla fine mi ha trovato (ora, se solo capissi come togliermela di torno, sarei più felice).
Dal punto di visita dell’analisi, però, è chiaro che il meccanismo è sostanzialmente lo stesso. Sono i piccoli dettagli che cambiano a fare la differenza nel senso complessivo.
Money quote: “Uncrate is the leading buyer's guide for men. With over 9,000 items covered and more than 1.5 million monthly readers, Uncrate is widely known for digging up the best of the best men's products. With new gear posted every weekday, Uncrate has quickly become one of the largest men's publications, both online and in print, with over 10 million page views each month. Since 2005, Uncrate's dedicated readers have visited multiple times per day to find out about the latest stuff for guys. Uncrate's insightful and daily updates, with near real-time coverage of new product launches, has gained the site an audience of discerning men who turn to Uncrate for the next great thing.”

Queste storie dei test del dna che fanno scoprire cose inimmaginabili in un altro tempo, mi affascinano. Dal mio punto di vista sono un esempio di cosa voglia dire vivere un cambio di paradigma. Chissà quando cominceranno a venire fuori anche da noi articoli come questo. Se mai accadrà. (Ma accadrà accadrà)
Money quote: “But not all biological parents want to be found. In conversations and correspondence with more than two dozen people for this story, I heard of DNA tests that unearthed affairs, secret pregnancies, quietly buried incidents of rape and incest, and fertility doctors using their own sperm to inseminate patients. These secrets otherwise would have—or even did—go the grave. “It’s getting harder and harder to keep secrets in our society,” says CeCe Moore, a prominent genetic genealogist who consults for the television show Finding Your Roots. “If people haven’t come to that realization, they probably should.””

Trovo LinkedIn odioso. È vero che non produce quell’odio tipico dei social convenzionali, ma è comunque particolarmente urticante per me. Questa spiegazione mi pare una delle più interessanti.
Money quote: ““Everyone at work has two jobs, and the other is the job of looking good,” she said. “These rules are largely oriented toward the second job.”
Scaling job two — looking good at work — up to a social network creates a new sort of venue: a non-office office, with thousands of bosses, none of them yours, all of them potentially watching.”

Se non puoi evitarli, unisciti a loro e diventa il migliore. La strategia di Apple per la GDPR
Money quote: “Apple is a prime example of a major tech giant taking steps to improve data transparency for its users. It recently launched a portal where customers can sift through all the data the company has on them, and CEO Tim Cook has been very vocal about data protection. He recently called it a "fundamental human right" and commended the implementation of GDPR, calling on tech companies to not only embrace the spirit of the EU laws, but to support the introduction of similar legislation across the US.”

But Deepin is also a standalone desktop environment, meaning it's possible to install it as your default "look and feel" on a wide range of distributions (an alternative word for desktop operating system in the Linux world).
Deepin does something unique that I haven't seen in any other Linux distribution I've tried. Or for that matter, in any version of macOS or Windows. This compels me to describe it as simultaneously sexy and sensible. I know, it's an unusual combination!”
