Manyverse: il social (svedese) senza pubblicità che vive nel tuo telefono anche quando sei offline. Niente infrastruttura, bastano i client edge.
Money quote: "Manyverse is a social network mobile app with features you would expect: posts, threads, likes, profiles, etc. But it's not running in the cloud owned by a company, instead, your friends' posts and all your social data live entirely in your phone. This way, even when you're offline, you can scroll, read anything, and even write posts and like content! When your phone is back online, it syncs the latest updates directly with your friends' phones, through a shared local Wi-Fi or on the internet.
We're building this free and open source project as a community effort because we believe in non-commercial, neutral, and fair mobile communication for everyone."

In inglese "Going Dutch" significa dividere il conto (il nostro "fare alla romana"). L'etimologia non la conoscevo: è divertente.
Money quote: "In the 17th century, the Dutch Republic and the English competed over international trade, colonies, and domination of the seas. Starting in 1652, the Dutch and English fought three wars over the next 22 years, battling over everything from herring to current-day New York. Propaganda meant that relations soured quickly, and both the English and the Dutch considered plagues and fires in the other country to be a punishment from God."

Una bella intervista al ceo di Apple, per scaldarsi in vista della WWDC di stasera.
Money quote: “"Well, you know, people generally just dislike uncertainty, I would say as a general rule," Cook laughed. "I know very few people that thrive on uncertainty. They try to take an uncertain thing and make it a bit more certain. They do that by estimating where things are going, by predicting the worst that can happen and the best that can happen.
"And we have done all of those things, I would tell you. But the most important thing for us is, we viewed it as a challenge to overcome."”

La macchina della verità che invece dice tante bugie. Bel reportage di Wired Usa.
Money quote: "From WIRED’s public records requests, it appears that few jurisdictions retain these records, making it nearly impossible to systematically identify bias in their programs. That comes as no surprise to William Iacono, professor of psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, and law at the University of Minnesota. “[Demographic data] sounds like something these organizations don’t want to have,” he says. “Because if they have it, and someone asks for it, then it might reveal something that they’re not comfortable with. The examiner doesn’t really use an algorithm to figure out if people are employment worthy. The examiner’s decision is probably based primarily on the human interaction that the two people have.”"

Se Google anziché scannerizzare libri si fosse messa a digitalizzare i fossili che stanno nei magazzini dei musei inutilizzati, probabilmente staremmo facendo strepitose scoperte paleontologiche. Il costo oltretutto sarebbe stato notevolmente inferiore.
