Ho seguito e (quasi) conosciuto bene Andrew Orlowski. La sua epoca è la mia ma la sua traiettoria molto diversa.

Money quote: “I can't claim to be The Register's first employee – that honour goes to Tony Smith – but in early 1998 I was wondering if the fledgling El Reg might need some help. "We're a couple of anarchists who'll be bust in six weeks," I was told. "Accept that job offer from a large publishing company. But if we don't go bust and you're ever bored give us a ring."”

Si deve quotare Peloton, azienda specializzata in biciclette da camera per allenamenti intensivi. Vale moltissimo, ma il rischio è che sia un flop o una bolla. (Ah, i problemi del Primo mondo).

Money quote: "Now as Peloton prepares to go public, the New York City-based company — which investors have privately valued at $4 billion — is facing questions about how long it can stay on top. Fitness is a historically faddish category. Exercise manias, from the Thighmaster to Tae Bo, have all come and gone. SoulCycle pulled its initial public offering entirely."

È uscito il Fairphone 3, lo smartphone (Android) basato su tecnologie e lavoro eticamente sostenibili e riparabile. Brutto ma fa la cosa giusta, a quanto pare.

Money quote: "When it comes to features, the Fairphone 3 can't compete with premium phones like the iPhone XS. Still, it has enough power to handle the basics."
