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.”

Storia e retroscena dei 100 milioni di dollari che Netflix ha pagato per ‘Friends’
Money quote: “But Netflix wasn’t the only streamer interested in “Friends.” Other bidders for the show included Hulu, the streaming service currently owned by Disney, Fox, NBCU and … WarnerMedia, as well as Apple, which doesn’t have a streaming service yet, but also plans on launching one next year.”

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!”

Considero articoli e riflessioni come questa, sul rapporto tra cinema e baseball, una cosa completamente aliena. Sono stato a vedere partite di baseball negli Stati Uniti, in bar dove si guardavano partite di baseball in televisione, in cene dove si parlava di baseball. E mi sembrava di essere la moglie dell'antropologo andato in micronesia. O su Marte, se è per questo.
Comunque, se siete infoiati di baseball oppure se volete vedere lo schema senza capire i movimenti, questo è il (cervellotico) articolo che fa per voi.
Money quote: "There have been so many new baseball movies in the past couple of years that it has seemed at times that filmmakers were taking on the form as a kind of penance. Some of the results have been pretty good, or partly good, and some god-awful; one of the movies is just about perfect, to my way of thinking. (It’s Bull Durham, which offers almost the first evidence that the phrase “baseball movie” is not an oxymoron.) "

Forse alcune persone con una intelligenza superiore, o una memoria superiore, hanno semplicemente una frequenza di campionamento più alta. Perché a quanto pare noi percepiamo la realtà come continua, ma in realtà la assorbiamo a frammenti, alternandola a rapidissimi momenti di coma celebrale. (Questo spiegherebbe cosa vuol dire essere nella zona o meditare: entrare e uscire da uno stato di flusso continuo e non frammentato della coscienza). Inquietante.
Money quote: "To understand these “rhythms of attention,” Fiebelkorn suggests imagining standing in Times Square on New Years’ Eve, surrounded by people, cars, and music. The scene presents far more sensory information than one human brain is capable of sorting through, and so, the brain deals with all of the information in two ways. First, it focuses on a single point of interest: the street corner where you might meet a friend, or Ryan Seacrest combing the crowd for interviews. Like a filmstrip, the brain takes snapshots of these moments and pieces them together into a cohesive narrative, or “perceptual cycle.”
We experience that moment as continuous, but in reality, we’ve only sampled certain elements of the environment around us. It feels continuous because our brains have filled in the gaps for us, explains Berkeley’s Knight Lab researcher and first author Randolph Helfrich, Ph.D. to Inverse.
“I think it’s more a philosophical problem that it is a scientific problem,” he says. “Because when we look at brain data we see a pattern that waxes and wanes, they’re never constant and stable. Everyone perceives the world as continuous and coherent, but the real tricky part is, how does the brain do that?”"
