Si può vivere un mese senza software dei cinque big della tecnologia, cioè Amazom, Apple, Google, Microsoft e Facebook? Un giornalista ci ha provato. L'articolo non mi piace (secondo me fa scelte assolutamente surreali), ma l'idea e il tentativo sono molto interessanti.
Money quote: "My goal with going a month without the Big Five was to see if I could rely solely on open source or independent software without compromising what I was able to accomplish with proprietary code. Basically, could I live my normal life with open source alternatives?
Going into the experiment, I realized that there was a good chance I’d come crawling back to some of the Big Five services when it was over. Yet as I discovered over the four weeks, switching to independent alternatives didn’t negatively affect most parts of my life, but it did take a little getting used to.
Before diving into the nitty gritty of what worked and what didn’t, however, let me explain the limits of the experiment."

La fine di un equilibrio internazionale, la fine di un sistema, di un ordine mondiale: come avviene? E come si gestisce? E soprattutto, a chi pensano quelli di Foreign Affairs quando scrivono questo dossier? È un'astratta ricerca di politica internazionale oppure si cominciano ad esplorare i segnali deboli della nostra contemporaneità? Siamo insomma già tutti morti e cerchiamo di rendercene conto?
Money quote: "Eventually, inevitably, even the best-managed order comes to an end. The balance of power underpinning it becomes imbalanced. The institutions supporting it fail to adapt to new conditions. Some countries fall, and others rise, the result of changing capacities, faltering wills, and growing ambitions. Those responsible for upholding the order make mistakes both in what they choose to do and in what they choose not to do.
But if the end of every order is inevitable, the timing and the manner of its ending are not. Nor is what comes in its wake. Orders tend to expire in a prolonged deterioration rather than a sudden collapse. And just as maintaining the order depends on effective statecraft and effective action, good policy and proactive diplomacy can help determine how that deterioration unfolds and what it brings. Yet for that to happen, something else must come first: recognition that the old order is never coming back and that efforts to resurrect it will be in vain. As with any ending, acceptance must come before one can move on. "

Just because an order is in irreversible decline does not mean that chaos or calamity is inevitable. But if the deterioration is managed poorly, catastrophe could well follow.
La storia della quale non si sta parlando dalle nostre parti: i suicidi a bordo delle navi da crociera bloccate con i loro equipaggi in quarantena
Money quote: "Cruise ships were an epidemiological nightmare during the early days of the pandemic—combining prolific international travel with line dancing, endless buffets, and indoor karaoke—and they’ve also been a disaster for the mental health of some of their crew. Separated from families, confined mostly to tiny cabins, with no obvious legal recourse and at times no pay, sailors experienced a more extreme version of the household lockdowns that have sent people tumbling into depression."

Nel 2021 Leica potrebbe presentare una nuova "M" a pellicola più economica dei due modelli attualmente inc catalogo (due a pellicola!! La MP e la M-A)
Money quote: "The new 35mm Leica will have to be appreciably different from the MP and M-A in order to squash the price without destroying the surprisingly strong market for those cameras. But the new Leica will also have to be appreciably similar to the MP and M-A, or perhaps the still-popular M6, in order to inspire sales to begin with."

What a New, Budget-Friendly Leica M 35mm Camera Might Be Like
In the eyes of many, 35mm film photography was snuffed out in the early 2000s. But a small, dedicated fan base has continued to smolder. For all intents and purposes, Leica launched the 35mm camera. And it seems that nearly a century later, they are still…

La ricchezza dei collegamenti e la povertà di Kinshasa.
Money quote: "When a metropolis the size of Paris has only 13 departing flights per day, it challenges my existing mental model of a city’s necessary ingredients, such as industry, tourism, or trade. That is, big city = big economy. Kinshasa is a surprising break from historical patterns, labeled by Harvard economist Edward Glaeser as “poor-country urbanisation.”
To see why, let’s look at the world’s megacities (population is greater than 10 million people)."

What Airport Traffic Tells Us About the World's Megacities
Last year, Daniel Knowles wrote an account of Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, a city of 13 million people. One of his stats led me down a rabbit hole: Kinshasa has 13 departing flights per day.
