Mettiamola così: la speranza dei giornali americani adesso è che emerga il fancazzista dentro Donald Trump e che questi, giocando a golf e cazzeggiando in Florida, faccia meno danni di quanti non se ne stiano temendo.
Money quote: "On Sunday, the administration claimed that he’d only played “a few holes” both days this weekend. That was revealed as untrue thanks to a blog post indicating that Trump was joined by professional golfer Rory McIlroy for 18 holes two days ago. (The administration’s response to the truth coming out? “He intended to play a few holes and decided to play longer.” The White House spokesman then added, “He also had a full day of meetings.”)"

Al concerto australiano di Bruce Springsteen un ragazzino sale sul palco e ruba la scena al Boss. Spettacolo notevole, una vera lezione di rock and roll, letteralmente.
Money quote:
"“When I was your age, I brought my first guitar, and I realized, it wasn’t how well you played it, but how good you looked doing it,” the 67-year-old musician said. “So I go in front of the mirror trying out different poses.”
For the full effect, he then struck several of his iconic rock and roll poses in front of the enthusiastic crowd."

Negozi, ristoranti, addirittura fabbriche. Nella mia top ten di posti da visitare adesso ci sono i tunnel di Chongqing
Money quote: “Chongqing, one of China’s fastest growing municipalities, is home to an array of tunnels built to defend the city—then known as Chung-King—from the hundreds of Japanese air raids that took place from 1939 to 1941. These raids usually targeted residential areas or other non-military marks. It was a campaign designed to terrify the local population into submission.”

Effetto nostalgia: la console Nes di Nintendo fa vendite record trent’anni dopo
Solo negli Stati uniti l’hanno acquistata 300 mila persone in un mese: nella top ten delle console è terza, subito dopo le più potenti e costose PlayStation 4 e Xbox One
In italiano non c’è neanche la parola: “jaywalking” lo potremmo tradurre come “attraversamento distratto” ma in realtà nel codice della strada degli Stati Uniti è la parola che indica il reato di “camminare sulla strada”. Perché la strada appartiene alle auto. Ma non è sempre stato così. Anzi: le strade fino agli anni Dieci-Venti erano un commons delle persone a piedi, a cavallo, sui carretti, in bicicletta (pardon: velocipede). Si facevano le marachelle e si giocava tra bambini, si correva o si passeggiava, soprattutto con il bel tempo e man mano che diminuiva lo sporco dei cavalli per l’entrata in circolazione delle prime automobili.
Già, le automobili. Le grandi espansioni dei mercati (come quello dell’automobile) non sono figlie della mano invisibile o accidenti della storia. Sono state pianificate e perseguite con determinazione. Infatti, ad esempio i lobbysti spingono per vedere approvate alcune norme, poche ma mirate, che consentono poi di scalare senza problemi. Per le automobili? Basta bloccare le linee ferroviarie a lunga percorrenza da una parte, multare i pedoni che camminano in strada all’interno delle città dall’altra, e in quattro e quattr’otto hai fatto quanto necessario per consentire la “crescita naturale”. E per evitare che la nuova arrivata della strada, l’automobile, venisse vista come un mostro assassino di vecchi e bambini, cioè dei principali “utenti” della strada.
Money quote:
"In the early days of the automobile, it was drivers' job to avoid you, not your job to avoid them," says Peter Norton, a historian at the University of Virginia and author of Fighting Traffic: The Dawn of the Motor Age in the American City. "But under the new model, streets became a place for cars — and as a pedestrian, it's your fault if you get hit."
One of the keys to this shift was the creation of the crime of jaywalking. Here's a history of how that happened.

The forgotten history of how automakers invented the crime of "jaywalking" - Vox - Pocket
Today, if there's traffic in the area and you want to follow the law, you need to find a crosswalk. And if there's a traffic light, you need to wait for it to change to green. Fail to do so, and you're committing a crime: jaywalking.
L'inferno della droga a Filadelfia
Monet quote: "The squalor and chaos along the rail line resembles a scene from Hieronymus Bosch. Addicts - many with needle marks so fresh that still-drying blood glistens in the sun - twist their bodies into unnatural forms to crouch and teeter on the trash-covered banks as they shoot up. Others sleep under nearby bridges or in makeshift shelters surrounded by garbage, drugs, and death."

Mentre la politica italiana post-referendaria litiga su tutto o quasi, il mondo fuori continua a correre.
Mia nonna avrebbe detto: mangiate di meno e vedrete che campate di più. In buona sostanza, decenni dopo le perle di saggezza dell’anziana progenitrice, adesso ci stanno arrivando anche i ricercatori giapponesi che studiano i loro sardi, cioè quelli che vivono nell’isola di Okinawa.
Money quote: “Some elderly Okinawans might attribute their longevity to habushu, a traditional rice liqueur with a pit viper coiled at the bottom of the bottle. In fact, the habu snake does possess the curious property of being able to survive long spans of time, up to a year, without food, and perhaps this is where Okinawans take their dietary cues from. In 1972, the Japan National Nutrition Survey found that they consumed 17% less energy than the Japanese average, much of it from plant-based material like the Japanese sweet potato, their staple food, in contrast with the rice-heavy cuisine of the mainland. Partly as a result of this diet, Okinawans died of heart disease, cancer, and cerebral vascular disease at rates 60-70% of the Japanese average, and lived on average a year and a half longer.”

I bot in rete fanno di tutto. Compreso litigare tra di loro. E, per quanto originariamente programmati, i loro sono in realtà comportamenti emergenti. Un po' come i nostri, programmati dal DNA e poi liberi di "emergere", no?
Money quote: "The research paper by the University of Oxford and the Alan Turing Institute in the UK explains that although the online world has become an ecosystem of bots, our knowledge of how they interact with each other is still rather poor."

Computer bots are more like humans than you might think, having fights lasting years
Bots appear to behave differently in culturally distinct online environments. The paper says the findings are a warning to those using artificial intelligence for building autonomous vehicles, cyber security systems or for managing social media.

No, instead, it has a collection of over 800 assorted programming tasks, from some as simple as “Odd or Even”, through to more advanced problems, such as maze-solving and web-scraping. Each task page describes the problem to be solved, then gives solutions in a range of programming languages."
