Il colpo di coda del colpo di coda di Donald Trump ci sarà il prossimo 6 gennaio e coinvolgerà anche il vicepresidente Pence
Money quote: "“The role the V.P. plays in the transition is something that people have never focused on and never think about, but with Donald Trump, you now have to consider all the possibilities,” said Gregory B. Craig, a White House counsel under President Barack Obama."

Trump Allies Eye Long-Shot Election Reversal in Congress, Testing Pence
Some House Republicans plan to try to use Congress’s tallying of electoral results on Jan. 6 to tip the election to President Trump. The attempt will put Republicans in a pinch.

Il mio amico Roberto osservava intelligentemente "Che bias cognitivo tremendo col vinile. Una cosa che dal quinto ascolto inizia a friggere venduta al doppio di quanto pagavamo i cd negli anni ottanta...". Beh, il a quanto pare c'è pure chi si preoccupa di fare le classifiche dei migliori piatti del 2020.
Money quote: "Few things can compare to placing a record on a turntable, and having a refined listening experience like no other. Vinyl has also been back for a while, and it’s very much here to stay. As the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) reported that vinyl sales surpassed CDs for the first time since the 1980s, it reconfirmed this trend.
This growing popularity has seen some negative outcomes. The influx of cheaper made, all-in-one turntable systems are more prevalent than ever."

Ho deciso di vendere la mia Switch Lite grigia (quella che non si attacca al tv) e custodia da trasporto con porta giochi ma senza giochi.
Comprata su Amazon sei o sette mesi fa (io ho preso l'altra switch che va sulla tv).
È perfetta, vendo tutto a mano a Milano: occasione perfetta per un regalo ultimo minuto (su Amazon i prezzi sono impazziti). DM @antoniodini

Money quote: "Open Law Library’s mission as a nonprofit is to make all laws as open and accessible as possible. The library’s strategy is to achieve openness by making openness pay off for governments: it uses open, machine-readable laws to build software tools that make codification faster and more accurate. The cool thing about this is that governments can benefit from using Open Law Library’s software even if open data isn’t their highest priority, but in the background they’ll still be publishing their laws in an open and accessible format—everybody wins."

Videogiochi e spionaggio nella Germania dell'Est
Money quote: "January 6, 1988, was one of those Wednesdays when the old baroque building in Kloster Strasse in East Berlin was teeming with activity. The building was called the "House of Young Talents" (HdjT) at the time, but today its original name, Palais Podewils, has been restored to honor its one-time owner, who was Friedrich the Great's foreign minister. That winter day, 70 to 80 people crowded into a first-floor room, normally the rehearsal space for a local children's choir. The computer club met there every Wednesday, a group of mostly young people, with the lion's share of them around 20 years old, but some as young as 16.
Similar clubs could be found across the German Democratic Republic (GDR) during the 1980s and there were around 20 in Berlin alone. But some of those attending this particular meeting at the HdjT had come from far away. And they had good reason. Because even though this was the "Central Clubhouse" of the communist youth organization FDJ, not a single one of the computers sitting on the tables had been manufactured in the GDR. They were all from the West."

Casomai non lo sapeste, i Led Zeppelin erano famosi - soprattutto all'inizio - per i loro “prestiti” al confine con il plagio. Spesso dall'altra parte del confine. Adesso salta di nuovo fuori che anche Stairway to Heaven è stata scopiazzata. E il documento legale presentato davanti al giudice per chiedere una sentenza che lo decida, è straordinario nell'uso dei font originali... dei Led Zeppelin
Money quote: "Some courts mandate certain fonts, font-sizing, spacing, and margin size.
Let's hope the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania doesn't, because this complaint is a freaking work of art: font choices, formatting, bright red signature at the end -- it's all just so dang perfect. Take a look for yourself:"

Un vecchio classico, ma a Natale ci vogliono delle solide tradizioni
Fa le foto alle persone che guardano il telefonino, solo che sono foto di gente senza telefonino perché ha chiesto loro di restare fermi mentre gli toglieva l'apparecchio dalle mani. Insomma, fantastico.
Money quote: "The large format portraits are of individuals who appear to be holding personal devices although the devices have been physically removed from the sitter’s hand. They are asked to hold their stare and posture as I remove their device and then I make the exposure. The photographs represent reenactments of scenes that I experience daily."

Viaggio nel tempo a quando ancora si poteva volare: Scraping Ryanair. Ci riusciranno i nostri eroi?
Money quote: "Some friends and I wanted to take a trip out of Venice right before Christmas. We did not want to do a single round trip, though - we wanted to do a multi leg journey. The problem with Ryanair’s site, however, is that it only lets you make a single round trip itinerary. This is great for round trip flights to a single destination, but means that it’s a significant amount of work to cross reference which city goes where. If my flight plan is Airport A -> Airport B -> Airport C -> Airport A there’s no way to check that B -> C -> A is a valid journey without checking both the B -> C segment and the C -> A segment."
