C’è stata un’epoca in cui gli Expo hanno preso forma e sono diventati uno strumento per il progresso. Alcuni anni fa, in occasione del secondo Expo di Milano, ho cercato di raccontarne la storia e le motivazioni. Questo è un breve saggio dell’epoca, ma ho pubblicato anche due ebook ora fuori commercio che presto rimetterò online qui sul mio sito
Ma a questo racconto sono particolarmente affezionato perché contiene al suo interno una piccola e insospettabile storia d’amore…

Un po' di belle foto del Café de Flore
Money quote: "After the war Juliette Gréco, Ernest Hemingway, Trumane Capote, later Roman Polonski, Brigitte Bardot, Alain Delon, Belmondo and Yves Saint Laurent all were regulars. Juliette Gréco has said, “In Flore people are less ugly than anywhere else”."

Ci (ri)siamo, ecco a voi il nono episodio di Tilde, il podcast che conduco con Riccardo. In parecchi lo aspettavate (almeno, tra i miei parenti) ma non c'è una cadenza regolare, per cui esce quando esce, ogni 7-10 giorni o giù di lì. In compenso, ogni volta è sempre meglio. O perlomeno, così dicono i soliti parenti che l'hanno sentito.
Questa volta di roba di cui parlare ce n'era parecchia, quindi non mi dilungo oltre: si trova in tutti i soliti luoghi sospetti (Apple, Spotify, Spreaker., Google) e pure sul suo sito, che lo fa Riccardo ed è bellino parecchio. I testi sono miei, lasciate una recensione casomai, così la classifica cresce e diventiamo eroi del tempo perso. Buon ascolto!

Il futuro del mondo nel 2050: per me un traguardo piuttosto lontano ma l'idea è che siamo di fronte a un cambiamento di paradigma totale.
Money quote: "China’s rise is just one part of a larger shift that’s already under way and looks set to accelerate in the decades ahead.
Bloomberg Economics has used a growth accounting framework—adding up the contributions of labor, capital and productivity—to forecast potential GDP through 2050 for 39 countries, from the U.S. to Ghana. We’ve used that data to map some of the key geographic and political shifts in store for the world economy.
The results suggest that a remarkable period of stability, stretching from the end of World War II through to the early 21st century, is coming to an end. The center of economic gravity is shifting from West to East, from advanced economies to emerging markets, from free markets to state controls and from established democracies to authoritarian and populist rulers. The transition is already upending global politics, economics and markets. This is just the beginning."

Oggi Steve Jobs avrebbe compiuto 66 anni: "smart but directionless"
Money quote: “Born in 1955 to two University of Wisconsin graduate students who gave him up for adoption, Jobs was smart but directionless, dropping out of college and experimenting with different pursuits before co-founding Apple with Steve Wozniak in 1976. Jobs left the company in 1985, launching Pixar Animation Studios, then returned to Apple more than a decade later. Jobs died in 2011 following a long battle with pancreatic cancer.“

Ho usato il Mini Disc per lavoro e l'ho adorato. Mi piacerebbe averne uno, anche se mi rendo conto che è attuale come un Commodore 64. Forse un po' di più, ma mica tanto. Però era bellissimo
Money quote: "When digital music began to dominate, MD faded away with its niche no longer needed. MDs were unable to match CD’s quality for tangible media—though, the gap has closed in more recent years.
While Sony stopped selling MD players in 2013, it continues to make blank MDs and support its Mini-Disc players. Teac is currently the only Japanese company making and selling MD players."

Abbandono di minore. C'è un lato del reato al quale non si pensa, e che è profondamente discutibile
Money quote: "I didn't think too much more about it, but then a month later a Child and Family Services worker showed up. I was busy in the kitchen -- I was canning or something. He said he was from CFS and a complaint had come in. And I realized right away what he was talking about. It was a stranger interaction than I'd had with the woman. If people are watching out for kids in the neighborhood, I think that's great! But this wasn't a helpful interaction, it was more suspicious and accusatory. So I said, "I think I know what you're referring to. Let me explain the situation. I was watching where they were going, it was to a familiar place," and all that. And he said, "Yeah. I know. But you can't let them do that. Things can happen. They can get kidnapped.""

Sviluppatori del software italici che sognano di andare a San Francisco, ecco a voi il racconto di chi lo ha fatto per un anno (ma non è italico)
Money quote: "On my first trip to SF, it was already quite telling. Flying from Toronto airport I noticed a higher than usual technology themed tees, stickers on laptops and black terminals. Pretty exciting! By chance My Uber driver to downtown told me he was applying to a free machine learning course ran by Google. On the way I noticed that the billboards next to the highways were directly targetting developers."

Sarebbe arrivato il momento di capire finalmente il genio di Kurt Gödel. Seriously.
Money quote: "The logician and philosopher Kurt Gödel passes the Einstein/Russell test, in doing work whose importance is beyond argument, but can also seem beyond comprehension as well. If you wanted to make the case that he should join them as a celebrated public figure, you could point out that among his work is an important contribution to the interpretation of Einstein’s relativity theory, and that he pulled the rug out from under the project on which Russell spilled most sweat. And Gödel’s advocate would start out with more name-recognition to build on than you might imagine. In 1999, when Time magazine conducted a survey of its readers to determine the 20 most influential thinkers of the 20th century (a poll topped by Einstein), Gödel, who has often been described as “the most important logician since Aristotle,” came ninth—ahead of Keynes, Watson and Crick of DNA fame and world wide web pioneer Tim Berners-Lee."

The great theory of this emaciated genius of philosophy defeated the finest minds of the 20th century—and rescued the idea that there are truths that humans can never prove

Money quote: "Carrying proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, these particles ejected from a cell act like a postal system that extends to all parts of the body, releasing little packages known as extracellular vesicles. Their contents seem carefully chosen. “The cargo inside the vesicle determines not just where it came from but where it’s going and what it’s doing when it gets there,” says Tracy Bale, a neurobiologist at the University of Maryland School of Medicine."

As brands have warmed to social-media advertising, influencer marketing has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry. Unlike traditional television or print ads, influencers have dedicated niche followings who take their word as gospel."
