Alcune interessanti meta considerazioni sull’alimentazione, i generi, faremo cosa giusta, etc.

Money quote: “Over a period of five years, Bowen, Brenton, and Elliott interviewed over 150 mothers and grandmothers, mostly low-income, who were primary caregivers for young children in North Carolina. (Though men are pitching in more with grocery shopping and meal preparation, the majority of both chores is still done by women—which, if you are a woman, you surely already know. The top tier of food punditry and celebrity chef-dom remains overwhelmingly male.)”

Lavorare di notte. Ed essere creativi.

Money quote: “If I write in these small hours, black thoughts become clear and colourful. They form themselves into words and sentences, hook one to the next – like elephants walking trunk to tail. My brain works differently at this time of night; I can only write, I cannot edit. I can only add, I cannot take away. I need my day-brain for finesse. I will work for several hours and then go back to bed”

Se volete entrare nella tana de bianconiglio delle tastiere, cominciate da qui.

Money quote: “Despite chances to reboot – many assumed synthesizers will undo the damage, just like we hoped to finally ditch QWERTY when an entire generation sat down to first computers – we still use the same piano keyboard. Mirroring typing, the only room for innovation is size, materials, and software. The layout might as well have been cast in stone”

Sulla totalità del genio di Charles Sanders Peirce

Money quote: “Who is the most original and the most versatile intellect that the Americas have so far produced? The answer ‘Charles S Peirce’ is uncontested, because any second would be so far behind as not to be worth nominating. Mathematician, astronomer, chemist, geodesist, surveyor, cartographer, metrologist, spectroscopist, engineer, inventor; psychologist, philologist, lexicographer, historian of science, mathematical economist, lifelong student of medicine; book reviewer, dramatist, actor, short-story writer; phenomenologist, semiotician, logician, rhetorician [and] metaphysician … He was, for a few examples, … the first metrologist to use a wave-length of light as a unit of measure, the inventor of the quincuncial projection of the sphere, the first known conceiver of the design and theory of an electric switching-circuit computer, and the founder of ‘the economy of research’. He is the only system-building philosopher in the Americas who has been both competent and productive in logic, in mathematics, and in a wide range of sciences. If he has had any equals in that respect in the entire history of philosophy, they do not number more than two.”

Una ricerca su cosa fa la generazione Z con Tinder che è anche una campagna di marketing con una forma di posizionamento lucido e poco meno che geniale

Money quote: "In pratica, Tinder ha scoperto il posizionamento giusto per non farci uscire dall’app—perché se trovi il partner della tua vita il gioco di swipe almeno per un po’ finisce, giusto?—e nel frattempo ha tirato fuori un report che offre un confronto generazionale piuttosto interessante"
