Money quote: "Dear strategy gamers, I want to tell you about a little diamond in the rough I came across the other day. Its name is Rule the Waves, and you should be playing it.
Naval Warfare Simulations, the creators of Rule the Waves, describe it as “a game of naval ship design and combat at the birth of the 20th century.” But that really doesn’t do it justice. If you really want to get the flavor of what Rule the Waves does, think of it instead as Armageddon Simulator."

Money quote: "The bad news, which went unstated, was that I had unknowingly stumbled into a nationwide web of deception that appeared to span eight cities and nearly 100 property listings—an undetected scam created by some person or organization that had figured out just how easy it is to exploit Airbnb’s poorly written rules in order to collect thousands of dollars through phony listings, fake reviews, and, when necessary, intimidation. Considering Airbnb’s lax enforcement of its own policies, who could blame the scammers for taking advantage of the new world of short-term rental platforms? They had every reason to believe they could do so with impunity."

Comincio a non vedere più l'utilità di connettere tutto a tutti i costi. Compresa la pallina che alcune persone si portano in giro infilata nel didietro per il piacere di coppia. Perché se uno fa questa scelta - che non condivido ma considero lecita - e poi compra un "buttplug" connesso in rete, non è che ci si può lamentare se te lo hackerano e te lo weaponizzano.
Money quote: "When most people think of the Internet of Things (IoT), they think about light switches, voice controllers, and doorbell cameras. But over the past several years, another class of devices has also gained connectivity—those used for sexual pleasure. One such device, the Lovense Hush, advertised as the “world’s first teledildonic buttplug,” became the subject of a Sunday morning DEF CON talk this year after a hacker named “smea” managed to exploit not only the device and its associated computer dongle, but software used with it for social interaction (read: people remotely playing with each other’s buttplugs)."

È morto Giampaolo Pansa
Addio al famoso giornalista e scrittore, autore di numerosi libri sulla storia italiana e sulla politica. Si è spento all’età di 84 anni a Roma, ad annunciarne la morte un twitter del Corriere della Sera.
È stato uno dei cronisti e commentatori più noti ai lettori italiani. Cominciò la sua carriera giornalistica nel 1961 a La Stampa raccontando con acume la società e la politica italiana, mettendo alla berlina i vizi della classe dirigente e soprattutto proponendo un punto di vista controcorrente, sempre in grado di stimolare il dibattito e la riflessione.
Alcuni suoi romanzi:
La guerra sporca (2012)
Il mio viaggio tra i vinti. Neri, bianchi e rossi (2017)
La repubblichina (2018)
Quel fascista di Pansa (2019)
Il dittatore (2019)

Money quote: "Aside from the fact that I wrote my final paper on BDSM in our tenth grade psychology class, I was also the first person she knew who had multiple concurrent partners — partners who knew one another and were cool with sharing. She was fascinated by it. She couldn’t get enough of my stories about my boyfriends and that year, for my birthday, she even gave me two books in their honor — one to suit each relationship.
Specifically, I had two boyfriends. Let’s call them “L” and “M.” I had two hot, black boyfriends and I loved each of them in their own way."

Psicologici, psichiatri, medici, studiosi della mente. La più anziana sessuologa d'America è probabilmente l'ultima di una lunga genia di donne e uomini di origine germanica e di religione ebraica che, a partire dall'inizio del novecento, hanno costruito aspetti cruciali della società statunitense: dalla pubblicità alla psicanalisi, passando per tutto il resto.
Money quote: "There is no such thing as “normal,” Dr. Ruth would interrupt, emphatically, empathetically, again and again, until it became a refrain. Her age (she was born in 1928) and her accent (German, with a hint of Hebrew) suggested that she might have a particularly profound comprehension of how notions of “normalcy” could be made into weapons of cruelty. She had no patience for sanctimony, and no time for people who preached compassion but failed to practice it. Sexually Speaking was a lighthearted show with a serious implication: The line between sexual freedoms and freedoms of the other variety is not as stark as it might seem. A Ph.D. rather than a medical doctor, Dr. Ruth refused to take refuge in euphemism. She found clarity in the haze. There are so many things, her life had taught her, that are more important than politeness."
