Don Mesa, capo del marketing: «abbiamo dovuto rispettare un accordo»
La protesta di uno abbastanza bravo che non fa più i colloqui di lavoro con Google e le altre big company del software. Per dire che, se da una parte non ce n’è quasi più, dall’altra invece ce n’è persino troppa. Ah, ma la spiegazione è perfettamente logica però.
Money quote: “I should have told her that I didn't want to be interviewed by some programmers, because I would most certainly fail. There was no need to try. I wanted to be interviewed by the person who really needed me: my future boss. That person will understand my profile and won't ask pointless questions about algorithms, simply because he or she will know what my duties will be and what kind of problems I will be capable of solving, if they hired me.”

La storia per immagini di Start. Quanti ricordi (che non ho, perché non ho mai avuto un Pc Windows)
Money quote: “Microsoft’s Start menu made its first appearance with Windows 95. It quickly became the go-to menu to find everything you needed from your PC, and it changed very little until the blue-and-green theme of Windows XP. The Start menu became so intertwined with the identity of Windows that users freaked out when it disappeared in Windows 8. It didn’t take long for Microsoft to reverse course: the Start menu was brought back to life with Windows 10.”

Secondo Adam Gopnik del New Yorker, lo scambio di buste agli Oscar è l'ennesima dimostrazione che potremmo stare vivendo tutti una simulazione al computer.

The theory, put forward by philosophers, is far from a joke, or a mere conceit.
Qui è dove sto lavorando oggi. Sì, perché sono uno che l’ufficio non ce l’ha e lavora spesso nei bar. Anzi, in realtà mi piace molto, se sono bar tranquilli, con molta luce, una bella vista, tanti libri (come la Librosteria dove mi trovo adesso, a Milano). E quando lavoro ascolto musica: molto spesso gli Asia. E in questi giorni mi è venuta una gran nostalgia di John Wetton, il cantante scomparso da poche settimane per un tumore: mi ha accompagnato con la sua voce per un milione o due di parole. Tristezza di quasi-primavera.
Volete un giradischi. Non lo sapete ma volete un giradischi. Molto. Anzi, moltissimo. E non ne volete uno qualunque. Volete questo. Davvero. Come si fa a non volerlo? Mannaggia.

Quella persona che non può più scaricare la responsabilità sulle spalle di qualcun altro. Quella persona è colui il quale fa il lavoro del Presidente, secondo gli americani. Anzi, secondo Harry Truman, che ne aveva fatto il suo motto: “The buck stops here”, intentendo per “buck” la parola slang per “responsabilità”. Questa è la storia di quell’idea.
In his farewell address to the American people given in January 1953, President Truman referred to this concept very specifically in asserting that, "The President--whoever he is--has to decide. He can't pass the buck to anybody. No one else can do the deciding for him. That's his job.

Ho una fascinazione profonda per Bruce Lee che risale alla mia infanzia, e che nel corso degli anni mi ha portato più volte a stupirmi semplicemente rincontrandolo: la Cina, Hong Kong, le arti marziali, il miglioramento e la realizzazione di se stesso. E tanto altro, incluso il concetto di “be water my friend” regalatomi da un mio amico e la filosofia di Lee che ho approfondito senza sapere (per poi leggermela avidamente).
Ecco qui c’è di nuovo Bruce Lee al suo meglio: l’uomo, non tanto l’artista o il “martial artist” e basta. L’uomo che scrive a se stesso per dire chi vuole essere e chiarsi le idee sui suoi obiettivi. Un gigante della volontà.
Money quote:
“My Definite Chief Aim,
I, Bruce Lee, will be the first highest paid Oriental super star in the United States. In return I will give the most exciting performances and render the best of quality in the capacity of an actor. Starting 1970 I will achieve world fame and from then onward till the end of 1980 I will have in my possession $10,000,000. I will live the way I please and achieve inner harmony and happiness.
Bruce Lee
Jan. 1969”

I forti sconti che Sony fa sulla sua Playstation 4 proprio nel giorno di lancio della Switch di Nintendo mi fanno pensare che forse la “piccola” macchina per l’intrattenimento videoludico di Mario e Zelda un po’ di paura la faccia.

Ci sono i telefoni smart e quelli dumb. Chi li vuole, questi ultimi? Costano pochissimo, possono essere usati per vari scopi. Ad esempio, un produttore cinese ne ha fatto uno che è anche un caricabatteria per altri apparecchi. Geniale o folle?
