Alla fine, cos’è la scienza? E il metodo scientifico?
Money quote: “Karl Popper poked huge holes in the standard view (Logical Positivism or Logical Empiricism), persuasively arguing that scientific theories can never be proven, and the best we can hope for is to falsify a scientific theory³. Platt argued that scientists should apply the “method of multiple hypotheses,” wherein they come up with as many alternative explanations as possible, and set out to test them against each other⁴.”

Non mi è mai piaciuto Eric Schmidt. Sono convinto che sia stato lui l'anima nera dietro a Larry Page e Sergei Brin che ha trasformato Google da super motore di ricerca cool in una macchina per schedare il pianeta (e in super avversario di Apple a cui ha "rubato" tutto quel che poteva rubare, sulla falsariga di Bill Gates con Microsoft venti anni prima). E dopo la sua uscita dall'azienda è andato a fare il super-esperto per i militari americani. Un duca nero il cui peso potrebbe essere estremamente negativo
Money quote: "Last April, Mr. Schmidt announced he planned to leave Google’s board. He had helped create an A.I. center backed by the Pentagon in 2018 and had also become co-chair of the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, a new group advising Congress on developing A.I. for defense.
A month after leaving Google, Mr. Schmidt invested in Rebellion Defense, a software start-up founded by former Defense Department employees that analyzes video gathered via drone. His venture firm later put more money into the company, and Mr. Schmidt joined its board."

Ecco, prove alla mano, come funziona la censura su WeChat, l’app di messaggistica più usata in Cina, gestita - e quasi imposta - direttamente dal governo. L’articolo spiega anche come chi la usa in Occidente non sia sottoposto alla stessa censura, ma aiuti il governo cinese ad affinare le tecniche per individuare i messaggi scomodi.

Avete sicuramente partecipato a un milione di videochat, e visto gente in tutte le parti della casa. In Portogallo vanno molto le librerie. Vanno talmente tanto che sono diventate oggetto di una vera e propria competizione
Money quote: "“We saw a paradigm shift taking place before our eyes,” the satirist says. (He asked not to be named because he fears retaliation for his political work.) As Portuguese analysts and media personalities put social distancing into practice and began sifting through the day’s events from the comfort of their home offices, “the previously sophisticated sets, where interviewers and interviewees competed for the audience’s attention with catchy chyrons and elaborated graphics, were replaced with the erudite backdrop of plain old bookshelves.” The evening news had joined the work-from-home movement, and just like that, the home offices of famous people went temporarily on public view."
