Ci sono cose che le donne non sanno fare? Le raccoglitrici/coltivatrici, rispetto ai maschi cacciatori, sono forse inadatte a muoversi nei territori sconosciuti ed inesplorati? Nonostante le idee della società dell’epoca, all’inizio Novecento un piccolo numero di ardimentose cercò di spiegare con l’esempio che le cose non stavano così. Cercarono di spiegare cioè che le esploratrici-donne esistevano eccome. (La storia ha decisamente un lieto fine).
Money quote: “Over the previous decades, the women—Harrison, Blair Niles, Gertrude Shelby and Gertrude Emerson—had collectively covered hundreds of thousands of miles across five continents. Between them they spoke nearly a dozen languages. Niles was a travel writer and novelist who traveled by ox cart through Colombia; Shelby, an economic geographer, who had lived by herself in a small village on South America’s “wild coast”—a region that includes modern-day Suriname—studying the folklore of the indigenous inhabitants; and Emerson, the youngest of the group at 34, an editor and budding activist who had traveled with and interviewed Mahatma Gandhi in 1921. Each, like Harrison, had written extensively about the cultures, geographies and economies they had encountered in their work, but their contributions went under-appreciated by the public, which saw the woman explorer as mere novelty.”

Pian piano qualcosa si sta rompendo dentro il sistema della pubblicità di Google. Che è in realtà automatico (programmatic) solo di facciata, dato che dietro c’è un esercito di scimmiette che cercano di tenerlo assieme. Ma è il sistema che è bacato? Sempre più piccole aziende escono da questo meccanismo. Una dopo l’altra. Qualcosa alla fine potrebbe succedere.
Vi consiglio di leggere tutta la storia, perché mostra come, in cambio di qualche centinaio di euro, le pubblicità di Google inquinino l’immagine editoriale di un sito, che a sua volta viene bersagliato dalle pretese e dalle interpretazioni più sballate da parte del motore di ricerca.
Money quote:
“So Google accepts get-rich-quick ads featuring famous people without their permission, but will not let us run those adverts on a page with a photograph of nudity, even if it depicts news in the public interest. The insane hypocrisy and irony of it!
Perhaps at some point online publishers, in South Africa or internationally, will come together, agree to chuck out Google Ads, and find a new way to solicit advertising from reputable companies that pay properly. Meanwhile, we’re dumping Google Ads.
Obviously the behemoth in Mountain View won’t miss GroundUp, but we take some pride in saying the feeling’s mutual.”

United Airlines l’ha fatta grossa: il passeggero “espulso” per overbooking (ma in realtà volevano far volare quattro dipendenti) è finito all’ospedale con il naso e due denti rotti e contusioni varie compreso un trauma cranico. La compagnia aerea, e soprattutto il suo Ceo, non è stata capace di gestire la crisi e anzi, in un certo senso l’ha anche avallata.
Quindi, se volate con United o avete comunque un minimo di influenza in rete o tra amici, è arrivato il momento del boicottaggio. Perché un giorno potreste essere voi quello “espulso” di peso dall’aereo. Su certe cose non si sposta.

Il buco nero di Apple rivisitato. Quando l’azienda ha smesso di aggiornare il Mac Pro, dopo averne prodotto una versione più limitata delle precedenti come espandibilità, è andata in corto circuito una parte piccola ma influente della sua clientela. Adesso c’è di nuovo speranza, con l’atipico annuncio di una futura versione in via di completamento (fra un anno almeno).

I memoriali della Prima guerra mondiale negli Usa hanno praticamente tutti la stessa statua che rappresenta un soldato americano con il pugno alzato, in una posa che ricorda quella della Statua della Libertà (tra tutte le cose…). Sono frutto di una intelligente iniziativa imprenditoriale di uno scultore con il pallino per gli affari. Un discreto pallino, direi.
Money quote: “By 1920, two years after the war ended, Viquesney applied for a patent for his design, because he planned to mass market it, thus making the memorial statue more affordable and easier to set up all across the nation. His ingenious idea? Instead of carving each doughboy out of marble on demand, he created a mold for them. When one was ordered—at a reasonable rate of $1,500 (around $20,000 today, as opposed to the tens of thousands in 1920s dollars that a personalized memorial cost) Viquesney simply ran one in either pressed copper or cast zinc and then coated it in bronze. They were lighter than marble, thus easier to ship, and the molding process took much less time than sculpting each by hand. He also created smaller versions of the sculpture, as well as one that served as a lamp base, making it possible for veterans or others to place a doughboy in their homes. So much for not making any money as an artist.”

Nel caso i due astronauti che sono sbarcati per primi sulla Luna ci fossero anche rimasti per qualche possibile (oltre che probabile) guasto, i ghostwriter dell’allora presidente Usa Richard Nixon gli avevano preparato un discorso “dell’addio”. Niente male il memo. Per gli amanti delle teorie del complotto: avete visto che tipo di scrittura a macchina viene usata? Era davvero disponibile già nel 1969?
Money quote: “On July 18 of 1969, as the world waited anxiously for Apollo 11 to land safely on the surface of the Moon, speechwriter William Safire imagined the worst case scenario as he expertly wrote the following sombre memo to President Nixon's Chief of Staff, H. R. Haldeman. Its contents: a contingency plan, in the form of a speech to be read out by Nixon should astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin become stranded on the Moon, never to return, followed by some brief instructions relating to its broadcast. Luckily for all those involved, the memo was never needed.”

Bye bye Intel Developer Forum. Praticamente il giorno dopo che è uscita una serie di miei articoli su Nova24 del Sole 24 Ore sulla legge di Moore (sorry, carta only), Intel annuncia un po’ in sordina di cancellare il suo evento di San Francisco per gli sviluppatori sulla piattaforma x86 e dintorni. Giusto in tempo!
Money quote: “IDF has been Intel's yearly home to major product announcements. This has spanned from CPU announcements like Skylake and Kaby Lake, to storage products like Optane, to networking fabrics like Omni-Path. So the cancellation of IDF means that Intel no longer has a (currently scheduled) venue to announce new products and update the public and investors on their plans. Though what's more interesting is how this will affect developers (both presenting and attending), who were the heart and soul of the show.
While it seems highly unlikely that Intel is doing away with trade shows and launch events entirely, it’s clear that something is afoot at Intel, and that as a result the traditional IDF is gone. With Intel's product roadmap becoming increasingly elongated and less aligned to a yearly cadence, a yearly tradeshow is obviously a harder event to hold and justify. But what will replace their combination trade show and venue for product announcements remains to be seen.”

Il problema qui è semplice: il rapporto con la criminalità in Russia è istituzionale. Anzi, è parte delle istituzioni. Da questo ne consegue che c'è un uso costante di strumenti e canali criminali da parte del governo. Alla fine questo però si ripercuote nella cultura di un paese e del suo senso della statualità, con conseguenze temibili.

Sonneborn ha perfino dichiarato, in passato: "Noi non siamo nel mercato della ristorazione, noi siamo nel mercato immobiliare.L'unico motivo per cui vendiamo hamburger a poco prezzo è perché sono dei formidabili generatori di ricavi, che permettono ai titolari dei negozi di pagarci l'affitto".

Secondo me questo video, girato da un fulminato niente male, introduce un’intera nuova classe per l’estetica del futuro. Shenzen, il posto dove si può comprare ogni singola componente del vostro iPhone 6s e costruirselo su misura. Ma alla fine è quello vero, quello “buono”. Oppure un ibrido, se preferite. Per me è un documentario da premio, tutto da vedere.
