Riguardo agli Ufo gli Stati Uniti stanno effettivamente nascondendo parecchie cose. Solo che, a quanto pare, non sono quelle che pensate voi. Ne parla in un libro che promette di essere alquanto interessante il giornalista Garrett M. Graff.
Money quote: "There aren’t many secrets that John Brennan doesn’t know. He spent 25 years in the CIA, became the White House homeland-security adviser, and then returned to the CIA as its director. If a question interested him, he could’ve commanded legions of analysts, officers, surveillance networks, and tools to find the answer. Yet in a December 2020 interview with the economist Tyler Cowen, Brennan admitted, somewhat tortuously, that he was flummoxed by the wave of recent reporting about UFOs: “Some of the phenomena we’re going to be seeing continues to be unexplained and might, in fact, be some type of phenomenon that is the result of something that we don’t yet understand and that could involve some type of activity that some might say constitutes a different form of life.”
That roundabout and convoluted comment piqued my interest. Anything that puzzled Brennan was worth looking into. For the next two years, I dove into the history of the U.S. government’s involvement in UFOs as part of writing my new book, and along the way I’ve become convinced that a cover-up is real—it’s just not the one that you think".

The U.S.-Government UFO Cover-Up Is Real—But It’s Not What You Think

In questo articolo si parla di orologi. Ma si potrebbe tranquillamente parlare di molte altre cose. Perché l'impatto della cultura visiva e frammentata portata dai social come Instagram (e quando uno dice "social" dovrebbe dire "dalle dosi di endorfina che si autosomministrano con dei comportamenti ripetitivi") sta cambiando il modo con il quale la mente delle persone pensa le cose.
Money quote: "In a world where we can scroll through hundreds of digital photos of rare watches every single day, it’s easy to forget that we have physical relationships with these things. We even have IRL relationships with the little pieces of culture — books, catalogs, other tchotchkes — surrounding a watch.
Collecting — books, watches, whatever — was once a way of interacting with the world around us, of engaging with it and accumulating a bunch of things that only made sense together because they were yours. Owning things is an active way of engaging with the world around us. Only you can decide what you own; how it’s organized; what you pull off the shelf to flip through on a Sunday morning."

Le "donne della Cia" (è un concetto, seguitemi per favore) sono le donne che hanno lavorato per l'agenzia di intelligence americana e che hanno fatto cose incredibili nella lotta al terrorismo. Con un problema mortale: erano donne, i maschi in posizione di controllo le consideravano il giusto. Adesso c'è un libro che ne parla.
Money quote: "Back in 2018, I met with a group of CIA historians to talk about women’s roles and experiences at the agency. The historians pointed to the striking number of women engaged in several key missions, chief among them the tracking of Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda, both before and after the 9/11 attacks; Scheuer’s team of “girls” played a key part. Over three years of book research, I interviewed more than one hundred female officers at the agency, including at least a half dozen who were involved in the bin Laden effort—some of whom had not spoken previously about their work, or not extensively—as well as many of their male colleagues. What became clear in these conversations was that many of the women who charted al-Qaeda’s rise felt that their work was undervalued or ignored and that their gender was part of the equation."

Secondo Les Echos l'industria vetraria francese, uno dei settori tipicamente ad alto impatto ambientale nel ciclo produttivo, potrebbe passare all'idrogeno con ottimi risultati.
Money quote: "L'industrie du verre peut-elle réduire ses émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES), sachant que les fours industriels consomment beaucoup d'énergie, souvent produite à partir de gaz naturel, durant le processus de fabrication ? La solution pourrait se trouver dans [l'hydrogène vert ou bas carbone](https://www.lesechos.fr/idees-debats/cercle/opinion-hiver-energetique-hydrogene-vert-lalternative-credible-pour-eviter-le-desastre-1785959) (donc produit à partir d'énergies non fossiles), qui offre un rendement intéressant et une bonne qualité de combustion.
Le développement de cette filière se heurte cependant à trois obstacles. Actuellement, le recours à l'hydrogène augmente considérablement le coût de fabrication du verre, que les économies d'échelle pourraient réduire sur le long terme. Ensuite, il faut s'assurer que les producteurs de ce gaz, comme Siemens ou Orano, soient en mesure de satisfaire la demande des verriers. Enfin, il reste à surmonter des problèmes de sécurité et de design industriel propres à cette filière."

A partire da gennaio il premier spagnolo Pedro Sánchez vuole rendere il trasporto pubblico gratuito per bambini, ragazzi e persone con disabilità. È un ammortizzatore sociale in tempi di crisi e uno strumento di riduzione dell'inquinamento dell'aria. Invece in molte città italiane con tutta probabilità a cavallo di Natale verranno aumentati i prezzi dei biglietti dei mezzi pubblici.
Money quote: "Para esgrimir la medida de la gratuidad del transporte público, así como el resto de iniciativas sociales, Sánchez admitió ser "consciente" de las dificultades que sufren los españoles para afrontar el "alto coste de vida", a pesar de que España es la gran economía de la Unión Europea "que más está creciendo y que registra una de las inflaciones más bajas de Europa".
"Todas estas duras realidades y otras muchas exigen una respuesta firme y comprometida por parte de los poderes políticos públicos. Lo que tenemos que hacer es reforzar el Estado del bienestar, ensanchar la red de protección social", justificó en el hemiciclo."

Il primo dizionario di Madeline Kripke è stata una copia del Webster's Collegiate che i suoi genitori le regalarono quando frequentava la quinta elementare a Omaha nei primi anni Cinquanta. Alla sua morte, avvenuta nel 2020 all'età di 76 anni, aveva accumulato una collezione di dizionari che occupava ogni superficie piana del suo appartamento di due camere da letto a Manhattan e riempiva anche alcuni solai e cantine. Molti ritengono che questa caotica biblioteca personale sia il più grande compendio al mondo di parole e del loro uso.
Money quote: “We don’t really know how many books it is,” says Michael Adams, a lexicographer and chair of the English department at Indiana University Bloomington. More than 1,500 boxes, with vague labels such as “Kripke documents” or “Kripke: 17 books,” arrived at the school’s Lilly Library on two tractor-trailers in late 2021. The delivery was accompanied by a nearly 2,000-page catalog detailing some 6,000 volumes. But that’s only a fraction of the total. In summer 2023, the library hired a group of students to simply open each box and list its contents. By the fall, their count stood at about 9,700. “And they’ve got a long way to go,” says Adams. “20,000 sounds like a pretty good estimate.”

È morto l'investitore Charlie Munger, partner commerciale di lunga data di Warren Buffett. Con Warren Buffett, Munger ha costruito la Berkshire Hathaway fino a farla diventare un gigantesco colosso multimiliardario. Munger era considerato una leggenda negli ambienti degli investimenti americani. L'impatto del suo lavoro sull'economia mondiale è stato enorme e, per gli ingenui, molto positivo. La leggenda attorno ai due uomini è una storiella per deviare l'attenzione.
Money quote: "When Munger was well into his nineties, he told CNBC he lived by a handful of "simple rules."
"You don't have a lot of resentment," he said. "You don't overspend your income. You stay charitable in spite of your troubles. You deal with reliable people, and you do what you're supposed to do."
For him, that was staying away from fads, and being a careful, cautious investor."

Money quote: "One of my favorite things about all this is that in order to make these new quantum computers work, you have to cool them to within fractions of a degree of absolute zero, which means a lot of companies have had to work very hard on cryogenic cooling systems just so other people could work on quantum chips. Jerry calls early quantum computers "science projects," but his goal is to engineer actual products people can use."

Una delle mosse più strane e forse meno corrette nell'ambito delle relazioni azienda-cliente è stata leggermente corretta. Ma quello che c'è dietro (perchè un passaggio forzato così repentino?) non c'è nessun giornale nostrano che cerca di raccontarlo. Solo bollettini medici.
Money quote: "Isybank è una banca completamente digitale di proprietà del gruppo Intesa Sanpaolo. A inizio ottobre, il gruppo aveva comunicato che tra la fine del 2023 e l'inizio del 2024 i conti di circa due milioni di clienti considerati prevalentemente digitali, quindi che non frequentano spesso le filiali fisiche della banca, sarebbero stati trasferiti automaticamente a Isybank, con l'attribuzione di nuovi IBAN ed eventualmente di nuove carte di credito e di debito, dopo la scadenza di quelle attualmente in uso. La banca aveva garantito che si sarebbe fatta carico di tutte le procedure legate al passaggio, compresa per esempio la comunicazione delle nuove coordinate bancarie ai datori di lavoro dei clienti, per assicurare continuità nell'accredito degli stipendi.
Circa 300mila persone sono già passate a Isybank il 16 ottobre scorso, e un secondo gruppo di clienti lo farà il 18 marzo del 2024."

In questo articolo di giornalismo investigativo il magazine +972 indaga sull'utilizzo dell'intelligenza artificiale per i bombardamenti israeliani nella striscia di Gaza.
Money quote: "According to the investigation, another reason for the large number of targets, and the extensive harm to civilian life in Gaza, is the widespread use of a system called “Habsora” (“The Gospel”), which is largely built on artificial intelligence and can “generate” targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible. This AI system, as described by a former intelligence officer, essentially facilitates a “mass assassination factory.”
According to the sources, the increasing use of AI-based systems like Habsora allows the army to carry out strikes on residential homes where a single Hamas member lives on a massive scale, even those who are junior Hamas operatives. Yet testimonies of Palestinians in Gaza suggest that since October 7, the army has also attacked many private residences where there was no known or apparent member of Hamas or any other militant group residing. Such strikes, sources confirmed to +972 and Local Call, can knowingly kill entire families in the process."

With the meticulous work of perfecting mechanical objects left to their neighbors to the north, the Italians were free to create a culture out of watches: bold, stylish, and fun.

Il giorno successivo, su un piano di lavoro infarinato, ripiegate più volte l'impasto su se stesso. Avvolgete l'impasto in uno strofinaccio infarinato, lasciatelo lievitare per almeno un'altra ora. Preriscaldate il forno a 250° C, inserite dentro la casseruola. Una volta raggiunta la temperatura, togliete la casseruola, inseritevi l'impasto, mettete il coperchio e infornate per 30 minuti. Trascorso questo tempo, toglitre il coperchio e cuocete per altri 20 minuti circa in modo che la crosta sia dorata."

Avete già provato a realizzare uno squisito pane croccante e morbido al tempo stesso, dentro ad un utensile che tutti hanno in cucina... una semplice casseruola in ghisa?

Abbiamo letto, comprato, cucinato, cullato le nostre fisse, guardato e rivalutato - in questo podcast. Antonio è tornato dall'ultimo viaggio all'estero e si è scoperto casalingo (come cantava Bugo), mentre Riccardo è pronto a partire (di cervello) dietro alle poesie romantiche (ma che!) delle poetesse angloamericane.
Buon ascolto, buon martedì, e tanti grazie preventivi per stelline e recensioni. A buon rendere!

Robert Moses è una specie di creatura fantascientifica, vista dal punto di vista italiano, soprattutto perché non diamo mai nomi e cognomi agli autori delle grandi trasformazioni urbane del nostro Paese e poi perché non abbiamo una New York da pianificare. Piuttosto, un GRA da disegnare o una mediocre speculazione edilizia di stampo pasoliniano. Eppure, ce ne sarebbe da dire anche qui da noi.
Money quote: "Dad was brought up in Robert Moses' New York -- a city undergoing major infrastructural development to produce a sprawling highway network. In addition to his unelected political influence and scores of towering turnpikes, Moses was known for spearheading planning projects that splintered local communities. When my father recalled the Bronx that raised him, he described a place that was diverse and down-to-earth, sometimes veering toward mean, but one where people looked out for each other. They recognised one another. You could leave your house keys with your shopowner, whose brother would send condolences to your family when a loved one passed away. Moses was famous for blatantly overlooking this kind of social capital, and for celebrating rather than ignoring proposals that required entire neighbourhoods to be bulldozed. He was notorious for paraphrasing the adage, 'you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.'"

How the New York of Robert Moses shaped my father’s health | Aeon Essays
My dad grew up in Robert Moses’s New York City. His story is a testament to how urban planning shapes countless lives
Bisogna ammettere che Apple, con l'iPad, ci ha provato. Ma in realtà, dopo cinquanta anni, siamo sempre fermi qui, all'interfaccia mouse-menu-icona etc. Cioè quella dello Xerox Alto.
Money quote: "I'm talking about the Xerox Alto, which debuted in the early spring of 1973 at the photocopying giant's newly established R&D laboratory, the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). The reason it is so uncannily familiar today is simple: We are now living in a world of computing that the Alto created.
The Alto was a wild departure from the computers that preceded it. It was built to tuck under a desk, with its monitor, keyboard, and mouse on top. It was totally interactive, responding directly to its single user."

50 Years Later, We’re Still Living in the Xerox Alto’s World
The Xerox Alto, which debuted in the early spring of 1973, is uncannily familiar today, because we are living in a world of computing that the Alto created. Here's how the Alto came to be.
