Mostly, I Write

L'ultimo messaggio di Amelia Earhart e la piccola Betty Klenck Money quote: "Close your eyes and imagine yourself in St. Petersburg, Florida in the summer of 1937. Now, step into the sitting room at the Klenck house, where you'll find 15-year-old Betty Klenck seated on the floor in front of her family's radio. Her father has set up a long-wire antenna measuring about 60 feet (18.3 meters) long that runs across the backyard to a pole outside the house. It's strong enough to capture transmissions from much farther than a radio normally could. It's a good thing Betty was so interested in cruising the airwaves — not to mention that she still describes herself as "crazy about airplanes." Otherwise, she might not have reacted so strongly as she sat there that July afternoon, doodling pictures of fashionable women and writing down the lyrics to pop songs, when she heard a voice come over the radio saying "This is Amelia Earhart. This is Amelia Earhart."" https://curiosity.com/topics/a-15-year-old-girl-heard-amelia-earharts-last-transmission-curiosity/

Dalla parte delle "brave ragazze". Che però raccontano storie sostanzialmente diverse da quelle dei "bravi ragazzi". Money quote: "Notice anything about all the stories above? They have one important thing in common. These women talk about feeling angry, entitled and delusional, just like “nice guys.” The difference is, they say they didn’t take it out on anyone—they just turned the toxic feelings on themselves. Of course, these women are telling their own versions of the stories. They may be unreliable narrators. We haven’t heard from the men who got Nice Girled." https://melmagazine.com/the-female-version-of-a-nice-guy-isn-t-what-you-think-6a0192346506

Conservare le cose. E conservare il suono delle cose. Interessante. Money quote: "»Conserve the sound« is an online museum for vanishing and endangered sounds. The sound of a dial telephone, a walkman, a analog typewriter, a pay phone, a 56k modem, a nuclear power plant or even a cell phone keypad are partially already gone or are about to disappear from our daily life. Accompanying the archive people are interviewed and give an insight in to the world of disappearing sounds. »Conserve the sound« is a project form CHUNDERKSEN and is funded by the Film & Medienstiftung NRW, Germany." https://www.conservethesound.de/en/

Un articolo fenomenale: il sogno dell'inventore del Taser: far fuori le armi da fuoco Money quote: "For twenty-five years, Smith said, his mission—rarely expressed, for fear of alienating customers and irritating the National Rifle Association—has been to make the bullet obsolete. “Today, would you keep a sword by your bed?” he asked me. “No! It’s ridiculous. But firing hot projectiles of lead shrapnel at people—we want to make that a ridiculous concept, because it’s a brutal, outdated, terrible thing to do.”" https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/08/27/can-the-manufacturer-of-tasers-provide-the-answer-to-police-abuse

Dopo Ups e FedEx anche Amazon si dota di una flotta di ventimila Apecar (una specie), per le consegne di prossimità Money quote: "Amazon is assisting small businesses across the U.S. by providing discounted vehicles, fuel, insurance, uniforms and access to delivery technology, the Seattle-based company said in June. The bulk purchase of Sprinter vans makes Amazon the largest buyer of the model, Mercedes said in a statement Wednesday." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-05/amazon-orders-20-000-mercedes-vans-to-bolster-delivery-program

Articolo vintage: rivedere per capire. Tesla: come finirà? È una lezione che vale per molti altri Money quote: "Meanwhile, the people who are first to bring the disruption to market may not be the people who end up benefiting from it, and indeed the people who win from the disruption may actually be doing something different - they may be in a different part of the value chain. Apple pioneered PCs but lost the PC market, and the big winners were not even other PC companies. Rather, most of the profits went to Microsoft and Intel, which both operated at different layers of the stack. PCs themselves became a low-margin commodity with fierce competition, but PC CPUs and operating systems (and productivity software) turned out to have very strong winner-takes-all effects. Being first is not the same as having a sustainable competitive advantage, no matter how disruptive you are, and the advantage might be somewhere else.

Non ho capito se la misofonia esiste o è una psicosi americana, però alcune cose di cui parla qui io me le ritrovo (per certe tipologie di rumore) Money quote: "Misophonia, also known as selective sound sensitivity syndrome, starts with a trigger. It’s often an oral sound — the noise someone makes when they eat, breathe, chew, yawn, or whistle. Sometimes a small repetitive motion is the cause — someone fidgets, jostles you, or wiggles their foot." https://bolesblogs.com/2018/07/06/misophonia-and-the-agape-orifice/
