#Gentilezza
Oggi voglio darvi il buongiorno con un piccolo suggerimento...
Prendetevi una mezz’oretta e guardate il video dell’intervento di Gianrico Carofiglio al Festival della Comunicazione di Camogli dal titolo “L’arte marziale della gentilezza”, in cui Carofiglio, in modo convincente e appassionato, parla della gentilezza, non intesa come sinonimo di “educazione”, ma come “il più potente strumento per disinnescare le semplificazioni che portano all’autoritarismo e alla violenza”.
La pratica della gentilezza è una scelta, dice Carofiglio, che richiede coraggio. Una grande verità, non credete?
Ps. Se poi avete più tempo correte in libreria e comprate il libro di Carofiglio “Della gentilezza e del coraggio. Breviario di politica e altre cose” (Feltrinelli).

Tutte le volte che ho provato a usare la carica wireless per telefoni o altro non mi ha dato una buona sensazione né ha funzionato bene. Adesso salta fuori che è davvero mal fatta. Speriamo non diventi un sistema di massa con questi presupposti.
Money quote: “On paper, wireless charging sounds appealing. Just drop a phone down on a charger and it will start charging. There’s no wear and tear on charging ports, and chargers can even be built into furniture. Not all of the energy that comes out of a wall outlet, however, ends up in a phone’s battery. Some of it gets lost in the process as heat.
While this is true of all forms of charging to a certain extent, wireless chargers lose a lot of energy compared to cables. They get even less efficient when the coils in the phone aren’t aligned properly with the coils in the charging pad, a surprisingly common problem.”

La teoria del Big Bang, architrave della fisica contemporanea, ha dei punti critici non ancora risolti. Un’altra teoria, che funzionerebbe senza bisogno di cambiare le regole attuali della fisica e che si muove all’interno dei confini di quello che è sensato pensare, postula che il nostro universo sia il figlio di un buco nero all’interno di un universo madre. Il che apre la via a una serie molto ampia di riflessioni e ragionamenti. Soprattutto, spiegherebbe il problema della dark energy.
Money quote: “For an observer outside a black hole, called the far observer, the singularity is at a point in space. For the observer inside the event horizon, however, the sign of the r and t elements of the spacetime metric change places. Now, for the near observer, the singularity is at a point in time, some time in the future.
The BHBBT suggests that, at least for certain types of singularities, once matter reaches it, it enters a new universe where time at the singularity is the initial point of that universe.”

Magnasanti è la più grande (e tremenda) città di SimCity 3000. Studiata a tavolino per battere il gioco e farci capire qualcosa su come viviamo nei nostri spazi urbani (anche se il discorso su SimCity è molto vecchio, lungo e complesso).
Money quote: “Vincent Oscala, a 22-year old architecture student from the Philippines, spent years decoding the formula for success in Sim City 3000.
Sounds like lunacy…but his insane investment of effort into “beating” SimCity raises interesting questions about the urban landscapes we inhabit, and the ways in which they can go horribly wrong.”

Ma voi vi comprereste una maglietta in cui si infila, in una piccola tasca sul groppone, un microcondizionatore d’aria per raffrescarvi d’estate (e riscaldarvi in inverno) prodotto dalla Sony? Dicono che faccia miracoli, ma forse serve indossarlo sotto un abito formale da lavoro. Però che strana idea. C’è chi l’ha provato, comunque.
Money quote: “I wore the Reon Pocket while walking to a supermarket about a mile away for lunch today. The temperature was only 30°C (86°F), so we’re not quite into the swing of a Tokyo summer just yet, but the humidity was pushing 80 percent — this is still the kind of walk that would normally turn me into a puddle of sweat soon enough. I did find, generally, that the Reon Pocket improved matters somewhat, even on its lowest cooling setting. I was definitely still sweating by the time I got home, but the cooling sensation does make a difference while you’re actually out there in the heat.”

C’è questo tizio, RFS, che, a causa di un problema neurologico, è in grado di leggere e di scrivere ma non di leggere e scrivere i numeri. Strano eh?
Money quote: “The tests also revealed that RFS’s deficit is not a simple visual malfunction. After all, he could see the foam 8’s shape clearly in certain orientations. Rather, the deficit depended on his interpretation: As soon as his unconscious brain circuits registered a number, everything went haywire. That he could still interpret letters, Schubert says, lends support to the idea that the brain has a specialized module for processing numbers. And his ability to recognize and manipulate new figures as representations of numbers suggests his higher level math abilities remained intact.”

Mentre i nostri giornali e siti si cullano nel niente delle partite domenicali e nei giri di moto e di auto, negli USA il New York Times ne segna una da paura: ecco le dichiarazioni dei redditi di Donald Trump degli ultimi venti anni. Da paura.
Money quote: “Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.
He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made.
As the president wages a re-election campaign that polls say he is in danger of losing, his finances are under stress, beset by losses and hundreds of millions of dollars in debt coming due that he has personally guaranteed. Also hanging over him is a decade-long audit battle with the Internal Revenue Service over the legitimacy of a $72.9 million tax refund that he claimed, and received, after declaring huge losses. An adverse ruling could cost him more than $100 million.”

La mossa del giaguaro di Bird: adesso vende i suoi monopattini. Ma con quale obiettivo?
Money quote: “On average, I find my trips costing around $3-5, depending how far I go.
That’s fine for a once-in-a-while trip. But many people commute by electric scooter every day, taking advantage of the nimbleness and portability of the small EVs. That would add up to around $180-$300 per month for me at rental scooter prices. If I was a daily scooter rider, I’d probably realize that I could buy myself a GoTrax electric scooter for barely more than a month of Bird scooter rentals, and then the scooter would be mine to ride whenever I wanted!”
