Se “una fonte”, della quale ho il diritto di proteggere l’anonimato, mi ha riferito una notizia “la cui fondatezza sto verificando”, siamo almeno d’accordo sul fatto che, fino a quando non l’ho verificata, non ho alcun diritto, a nessun titolo, di renderla pubblica? Siamo d’accordo almeno su questo, per la miseria?!
Pazzesco il colpo d'occhio a Milano: l'Area C è uno dei pochissimi posti d'Italia "riformisti" (csx alle Europee ma SI al referendum).
Quasi una regola: se vuoi vedere cosa succede in Italia, fai un giro nel centro di Milano e poi scommetti che succederà l'esatto opposto.
If you shuffle a deck of cards properly, the exact order you get has almost certainly never existed before in human history and never will again.
The number of possible arrangements of 52 cards is 52 factorial, which works out to a number so large that it has 68 digits. To put it in perspective: even if every person who ever lived shuffled a deck once per second since the beginning of the universe, you would still barely scratch the surface of all possible arrangements.
So every time you shuffle a deck, you are most likely holding a sequence that is completely unique in the history of the universe.
If Apple shares dropped near to $0. I would buy up all the shares, own 100% of the company, fire Tim Cook and make myself chairman and CEO. I would collect $112 billion in net profits every year and give all my friends free iPhones and MacBooks for life.
If Bitcoin dropped to near $0, what would I do with it if I bought all the bitcoins in the world ? Stare at the cute computer code?
That is the difference between a productive asset and a non productive asset
Lunchtime humour - Boss: There are 50 bricks on an aeroplane. If you drop one outside, how many are left?
Employee: That's easy, 49.
Boss: What are the three steps to put an elephant into a fridge?
Employee: Open the fridge. Put the elephant in. Close the fridge.
Boss: What are the four steps to put a deer into the fridge?
Employee: Open the fridge. Take the elephant out. Put the deer in. Close the fridge.
Boss: It's lion's birthday, all animals are there except one, why?
Employee: Because the deer is in the fridge.
Boss: How does an old woman cross a swamp filled with crocodiles?
Employee: She crosses it because the crocodiles are all at the lion's birthday.
Boss: Last question. In the end, the old lady still died. Why?
Employee: Er...I guess she was drowned... err...
Boss: No! She was hit by the brick which fell from the aeroplane. That's the problem, you are not focused on your job. You may leave now!
Moral: If your boss has decided to finish you, no matter how much you prepare, you will be finished! 😀😛😂 #boss
Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:
“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.
“There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.
“If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice!
“Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”
