Avviata negli Usa una “terapia digitale” che utilizza i sensori dell’orologio di Apple per risvegliare i pazienti se fanno brutti sogni monitorando i movimenti del corpo e la frequenza cardiaca

And God knows that humans have enough blood and gore to satisfy my, and many more’s, curiosity. They won’t have to worry about fighting against me, because they have nothing to fear.”

I politici storicamente non hanno una preparazione scientifica ma conoscono perfettamente una scienza: quella delle elezioni. Un italia come negli Usa. Questo è il racconto della vita di uno di questi personaggi che hanno "fatto" la politica americana.
Money quote: “Hofeller preferred to keep the details of his work private and to avoid paper trails. “E-mails are the tool of the devil,” he explained to fellow-operatives. Still, he did leave some documentation behind. About a week and a half after Stephanie learned of her father’s death, she made a trip to her parents’ retirement home, in Raleigh, North Carolina, where her mother, Kathleen, still lives, looking for keepsakes. She later described the visit in a deposition for a lawsuit concerning legislative redistricting in North Carolina. In her father’s bedroom, she found a jewelry box, which had been hers as a child. She also found four external hard drives and eighteen thumb drives that had belonged to her father. One of the drives was labelled “NC Data.” “

#Violenza #Donne
Oggi voglio consigliarvi un libro pieno di forza e coraggio: “Non è un destino” di Lella Palladino, sociologa femminista e attivista di Eva, rete campana dei centri antiviolenza.
Attraverso le storie di Tina, Lia, Francesca, Paola, Lucia, Sonia, il libro racconta come le donne, grazie al potere della relazione con altre donne, all’accoglienza empatica, esperta e non giudicante dei centri antiviolenza, possano rielaborare la violenza subita e ricominciare una nuova vita.
Storie di forza e libertà, testimonianze concrete che «la violenza non è un destino», che è possibile uscirne, recandosi «nel posto giusto al momento giusto».
📌 A questo link una bella presentazione con l’autrice che la Casa della donna di Pisa ha organizzato proprio ieri in diretta Facebook. Io l’ho seguita e ascoltare Lella Palladino è stato un vero piacere.

Questa cosa, e se non l'avete seguita vi consiglio di farlo, rientra negli argomenti che di solito ignoro per non rovinarmi l'umore. Ma è anche uno dei motivi per cui fare beneficenza alle strutture statali (leggi: le scuole, come abbiamo fatto durante il lockdown) è da fessi coglioni (siamo tutti grandi, e si può dire).

Money quote: “At the start of this project, I honestly didn't think or know if my Raspberry Pi 3 could handle running a Docker network. It's not exactly slow, but not super beefy either, and with the processor being in the ARM family I thought that might have presented some problems. Putting that aside though, the reason that I really wanted to move in this direction was upgradability and containerization.”

Money quote: “My father told me that the design process started with the abstract, moved to the concept and then finally the design. So I used to use these three words, back in the day, to convey the process of design to my unsuspecting clients. It wasn’t as effective – even if I knew what it meant. So I found myself saying, “Here- it looks like this…” and drawing the squiggle.”

Money quote: “A decade ago, the American psychologist Adam Grant and I argued in a journal paper that this ‘too much of a good thing’ phenomenon might be a general rule. Some motivation produces excellent performance; too much motivation produces choking. Some group collaboration produces cohesion and enhances productivity; too much of it leads to staleness. Some empathy enables you to understand what another person is going through; too much could prevent you from saying and doing hard things”

But when some people return to the office, a significant portion of those conversations are going to be moved off of Slack to in-person meetings, removing important context for remote workers.”
