Aerei elettrici ibridi in fase di decollo
Gli aerei ibridi rappresentano la soluzione più concreta, mentre l’aereo elettrico dovrà attendere una ventina d’anni. Oltre a diverse startup, anche i colossi Airbus e Boeing ci stanno lavorando. Con soluzioni diverse
Azioni immorali: perché sono possibili/impossibili? Alcuni studi sull’argomento.
Money quote: “Rather than finding it bizarre or stupid that we are often blind to the possibility of immoral actions, it’s important to realise that it is actually a good thing. “

John Gruber (Daring Fireball) ha in prova un iPhone X. Il telefono questa volta Apple lo ha dato a pochi giornalisti per le recensioni. Negli Usa le maglie erano relativamente più large. Ecco le sue prime impressioni e soprattutto un interessante Roundup delle recensioni fatte dalla stampa USA.
Money quote:
“Face ID works great. In practice it’s like not even having a passcode on the phone. You just swipe and you’re in. It’s also very quick to set up — way quicker than setting up even a single fingerprint in Touch ID.
I don’t really notice the notch while using it.
I do notice the lack of a home button. I think I’ll get used to the new no-home-button UI soon, but 10 years of habits die hard.
The device feels great”

iPhone X Review Roundup
First impressions of the iPhone X, and comments on Matthew Panzarino’s and Nicole Nguyen’s reviews.
Sto partendo per Malta, dove resterò tutta la settimana. Come capita sempre più spesso, mi porto l’iPhone e l’iPad Pro, lasciando a casa il MacBook nuovo di pacca comprato tre settimane fa. Uno dei motivi è la leggerezza del setup (un solo caricabatterie) e l’altro è che, con il roaming europeo, avere la connessione LTE dentro l’iPad Pro è un vantaggio rispetto al MacBook (non faccio tethering con il telefono perché scarica la batteria e non ho abbastanza dati, ma sto pensando di cambiare strategia).
Il tema di fondo rimane sempre quello: si può usare l’iPad al posto del portatile? La risposta è “dipende”. Ma tra i tanti articoli che ho letto nel tempo, questo che segue è uno dei più interessanti, anche se ancora fa riferimento a iOS 10 (con iOS 11 molte cose sono migliorate ma non in maniera rivoluzionaria, secondo me).
Dal mio punto di vista, la chiave di lettura non è tanto l’apparecchio in sé, quanto il modo con il quale sono o organizzati i vostri dati (e cioè da quanto tempo accumulate documenti e in quale forma).
Ci sarà tempo per fare un altro ragionamento. Comunque, in questo articolo del 2015 emergono altri aspetti interessanti, soprattutto di interfaccia.
Money quote: “So, is it possible to work exclusively on an iPad Pro? The answer is a resounding… kind of. Depending on what you want to use it for. It has about as many advantages as disadvantages. What works for me might not work for you but so far it IS working for me. Just about!”

Se invece siete ancorati dentro il vostro Mac, vi ricordo che c’è sempre la possibilità di aumentare la vostra produttività in modo “soft” grazie agli Apple Script. Ce li stiamo quasi dimenticando, ma in realtà questi script sono estremamente utili per chi deve fare cose ripetitive nel Finder in modo rapido ed efficace. Secondo me non sono ridondanti rispetto alla parte Unix di macOS, ma servono a scopi di versi e si usano in maniera differente, più semplice per i non esperti.
Money quote: ““Never do anything twice” is an old programming maxim. And yet, faced with a computer capable of powerful automation, folks choose to instead manually repeat tasks. Programming is hard, after all, and it takes a while to learn. But you don’t need to be some kind of crack coder to automate a few things. With something like Applescript, you can automate basic tasks with only a teaspoonful of programming knowledge and a little syntax familiarity”

C’è un giornalista che, quarant’anni fa, aveva previsto tutto. Dal computer negliuffici sino alle tecnologie mobili. Ha sbagliato solo una cosa: la previsione del telelavoro. Secondo lui saremmo tutti andati a vivere in campagna e le città si sarebbero svuotate. Invece, le città stanno crescendo sempre di più non solo perché c’è il lavoro, ma anche perché c’è la vita. Un caso di ipermetropia analitica?
Money quote: “Ed Glaeser, an economist at Harvard University who is one of the foremost experts on cities, says that predictions about the city's decline were not uncommon when he entered the profession back in the 1980s. At the time, urban centers were sinking into cesspools of poverty, blight, and crime. Since then, there's been a remarkable reversal, with waves of development and gentrification, pushing more and more poor people out and bringing more and more rich people in.”

Se vuoi provare una serie italiana bella, diversa e non scontata, ti consiglio "L'età dell'oro" (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️). Trovata quasi per caso, ho iniziato a guardarla senza darle due lire (questo perché avevo perso la sigla iniziale e non mi ero accorto che era de La Buoncostume, altrimenti sarei partito più ben disposto, perché li conosco e stimo e amo), e invece mi sono ricreduto quasi subito, una volta che mi è passato quel friccichio sul collo per l'audio non perfetto (lo so, lo so, è letteralmente una mania, ma me l'ha attaccata Matteo Bordone ai tempi della radio, quindi prendetevela con lui: ogni volta che sento attori non microfonati o stanze che rimbombano vado ai pazzi). Insomma: è scritta davvero bene, recitata benissimo, non si preoccupa per forza di essere paracula e, certe volte, prende la strada meno facile e prevedibile, che è il minimo sindacare che devi aspettarti da una serie, ma purtroppo non è sempre scontato succeda. Ah, e in più è praticamente il reboot di "Klondike", uno dei primi esperimenti di serie dal basso realizzati in Italia. E' bello lasciarsi sorprendere così, ed è un buon passo avanti per Discovery-Dplay, dopo quello scherzo che è stato (perché era uno scherzo, vero? non faceva mica sul serio) la serie di Fabio Volo. Solo, ecco, un consiglio, specialmente sulle app di Dplay: io metterei in bella evidenza il numero dell'episodio: riportati in ordine cronologicamente inverso - così come appaiono sullo schermo - uno lancia le madonne quando si accorge di aver visto la season finale invece che la prima puntata.

Viaggio all’interno di uno dei più incredibili (e freddi) musei di storia contemporanea: il museo della polizia politica della Germania dell’Est, la Stasi, raccontato da due grandi esperti italiani di musei.
Money quote: “Human-Centered Museums should be more focused on their audiences deep emotional needs. History geeks can find somewhere else the fine details of how Stasi was bureaucratically structured — what we all want to find in such a museum is a human connection with real people and their stories, to be emotionally engaged and to try not to make it happen again.”

Money quote: “On the second day I spent with the Manson Bloggers, we found a tongue hanging from a tree. This was in the northwestern fringes of Los Angeles County, the half-wild, half-suburban part of the city that the Manson Family once called home. These days, most of the land is owned by the state and nearby there is a church; on top of a hill, a ten-foot cross looms in right-angled judgment. The Manson Bloggers did not seem to notice the cross, because they had another mission in mind: finding the Manson Tree, a gnarled oak that’s notable because Charles Manson used to perch in its crook and strum the guitar”

Cambio della staffetta con la Cina, che dopo l’America diventa la nazione che ascolta le stelle in attesa degli alieni. I quali, peraltro,, se mai arriveranno, ci mangeranno probabilmente tutti. Liu Cixin, lo scrittore di fantascienza più noto in Cina e anche da noi, è stato convocato come consulente.
Money quote: “But in other ways Liu is a strange choice to visit the dish. He has written a great deal about the risks of first contact. He has warned that the “appearance of this Other” might be imminent, and that it might result in our extinction. “Perhaps in ten thousand years, the starry sky that humankind gazes upon will remain empty and silent,” he writes in the postscript to one of his books. “But perhaps tomorrow we’ll wake up and find an alien spaceship the size of the Moon parked in orbit.”“

C'è uno che sta facendo i soldi vendendo cose su Amazon che ha comprato da WallMart. Praticamente, campa sullo spread, un baco del sistema. I margini di errore sono minimi però.
Money quote: "Since he started selling on Amazon, Grant says the business is on track to top $8 million in total sales by the end of this year. Profits are heavily reinvested back into the company, though Grant was still able to take a salary of around $150,000 when he was working for the venture full time.
The team also made mistakes made along the way. They lost $6,000 when a faulty nail filing product for dogs got Grant's Amazon seller account temporarily suspended, for example. They also had to pay the fees Amazon charges for products that failed to sell and sat idly in Amazon's warehouses.
All the same, Grant believes he has found an easy and effective formula for success. "I think anyone can do it if they're willing to put in the work," he says."

28-year-old makes millions buying from Walmart, selling on Amazon
It seems too easy to be true that you could make millions by raiding the clearance aisle at your local Walmart or Target and then selling your haul on Amazon. But that's exactly what 28-year-old Ryan Grant is doing.
