Backchannel lascia definitivamente Medium e diventa una costola di Wired (Conde Nast).
Money quote: "Starting June 21, we will begin publishing Backchannel as a weekly digital magazine on wired.com. As players in a news cycle that’s rapidly approaching light speed, we believe our work will stand out more as a weekly event — an occasion — than as yet more fodder for the daily churn. And now we’ll be hosted on Wired’s site, rather than on Medium. We will still be editorially independent, of course, and our staff is unchanged"

Ecco il “Personal kanban” con i suggerimenti per ridurre il multitasking. Perché fa male al cervello.
Money quote: "James Benson, a former urban planner based in Seattle who authored Personal Kanban: Mapping Work — Navigating Life, tells Quartz that industrial Kanban was a way for Toyota to avoid overproducing. He has adapted the system to reduce overhead of the emotional sort—the “too many tasks on my mind” feeling that’s the biggest downside of our mostly doomed attempts to multitask"

Se lo stato spia, che legtittimità ha? Ci protegge? Ci aggredisce? Senza dimenticare che, nel mondo tecnologico, cambia dinamica delle relazioni, il senso delle informazioni. E poi: dovremmo difendere la nostra privacy a prescindere? E le aziende di tecnologia che realizzano prodotti a prova di controllo statale, sono "brave" o sono "pericolose" e anti patriottiche?
Intanto, i router di Apple (le AirPort e Time Capsule) risultano essere gli unici che resistono alle manomissioni a distanza del governo americano.
Money quote: "Grazie al dump dei documenti ottenuti da WikiLeaks, si apprende che la CIA aveva a disposizione firmware modificati per dispositivi di Asus, Belkin, Buffalo, Dell, DLink, Linksys, Motorola, Netgear, Senao e US Robotics; il firmware modificato era stato realizzato dallo Stanford Research Institute, partner chiave nello sviluppo dello strumento sfruttato dalla CIA. La CIA aveva chiesto un modo per entrare anche nei router AirPort di Apple ma sembra che gli sforzi siano stati vanificati per via di tecnologie di cifratura e la presenza di vario hardware personalizzato che ha impedito lo sviluppo di strumenti in grado di attaccare la famiglia di prodotti AirPort."

La fine di Theresa May, secondo il Guardian
Money quote: “hat tomb in the sky will be forever Theresa May’s monument. Grenfell marks the spot and her visit marks the moment the last vestiges of her career were finally rubbed out. She made it her own yesterday by that fateful “visit” to a handful of senior fire officers, guarding her from any contaminating contact with the bereaved and newly homeless. Dead to emotion or empathy, she sealed her fate.”

Theresa May was too scared to meet the Grenfell survivors. She’s finished
Symbolism is everything in politics and nothing better signifies the austerity of May-Cameron-Osborne era than North Kensington’s ghastly tomb

Money quote: ““This is a scene from a movie from the 1940s called Gaslight,” Todd Richmond told the packed room, pointing to a screen showing a man and a woman standing by an old gaslight in a home. “How many people know what gaslighting is? So the term gaslighting comes from when lights used to be gas fueled. And it's a way of driving someone into mental distress by manipulating their environment without telling them and then denying that it's being manipulated. So the classic, the gaslight lamp lighting is that you slowly turn down the lights on your spouse because you're trying to drive your spouse nuts. Your spouse says, ‘Is it getting darker?’ And you say, ‘No, I don't know what you're talking about.’ And if you do that enough over time, you would begin to freak people out.
“So is VR the perfect platform for this? The answer is, yeah, if you're going to use it for that.””

La seconda edizione del tablet Apple con schermo 10.5 è un missile, ma bisognerà attendere iOS 11 in autunno perché l'iPad dia il massimo
Ricordate il fallimento dei televisori 3D? Incapaci di aggiungere profondità all'esperienza già consolidata della televisione e per di più limitativi delle sue funzionalità? Comincio ad avere la sensazione che l'enfasi su VR e AR possa ripetere errori simili.
Quando hanno messo il motore non hanno solo tolto il cavallo alle carrozze; hanno proprio reinventato il trasporto creando l'automobile. Mi sa che pensare a software, device e schede video per fare VR e AR sia la fine e non l'inizio della storia.
Money quote: "Earlier this week, Bethesda Softworks gave fans two big virtual reality announcements: VR versions of beloved RPGs Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. You could argue that these kinds of big, open-world titles are the perfect application for VR — the medium needs games that can keep players entertained for more than a few hours, and people want to feel like they're really living in their favorite world.
I think, however, that you’d be wrong. Because so far, the little I’ve seen of both titles suggests that most of the great parts of present-day open-world games don’t translate well into a headset, and that the perfect VR open world won’t look anything like what we’re used to."

Abbiamo una opinione piuttosto stereotipata e generale dei Bitcoin, Tant'è vero che chi invece se ne sta occupando, utilizzando valute digitali per le sue transazioni, è in grado di fare ragionamenti più articolati e scelte maggiormente sofisticate.
Money quote: "To make micropayments of one cent, we can’t just use Stripe. Because Stripe’s fees are about 30 cents or higher, a one cent payment to a creator would cost 31 cents and 97% of the money would go to Stripe. So we have developed a micropayments solution on bitcoin. Our solution is like the lightning network, but is not dependent on segwit. We are the first and only group to demonstrate a working routed micropayment on bitcoin today. The marginal cost of a transaction on our network is zero, allowing genuine micropayments of one cent or lower."

Terapia e depressione. Una storia.
Money quote: "In the days prior to my appointment, I was so ready to acknowledge that I was unwell, feeling lighter for the first time in months, counting down the days until I’d finally have help. But when faced with a clipboard and forms that reduced my suffering to a checklist of symptoms — I feel sad or depressed. I have felt very depressed daily for at least 2 weeks. I have had similar episodes during my lifetime. I feel hopeless and helpless. I have been thinking about suicide — suddenly, I wasn’t so confident"

Invecchiare bene, invecchiare male, mantenersi giovani. Ma dopotutto cosa vuol dire invecchiare? Non c'è una definizione univoca, neanche un modo unico. E la mente, oltre agli stimoli ambientali e alle trasformazioni degli organi del corpo, gioca la sua parte.
Iniziando con un interessante esperimento, qui si ripercorre in maniera non banale la ricerca scientifica che cerca di capire il funzionamento dell'invecchiamento
Money quote: "As scientists have worked to pinpoint a person’s biological age, they have learned that organs and tissues often age differently, making it difficult to reduce biological age to a single number. They have also made a discovery that echoes Langer’s work. How old we feel—our subjective age—can influence how we age. Where age is concerned, the pages torn off a calendar do not tell the whole story."
