Learn One Thing A Day

Happy New Year! Usually I don't discuss polics here, but The Overton Widow is a pretty interesting psychological mechanism! In the last 12 months, we did really get used to all the absurdities of the crazy old man -- and his team! -- that happens to rule the USA.

An interesting story I listed today. Worth to share it ;) Enjoy!

This is a quite interesting story... the facts behind the myth :) Enjoy!

The name "Bluetooth" comes from the Scandinavian Blåtand/Blåtann and Harald " Blåtand " Gormsson (935-985) was King of Denmark and Norway.

Hello Internet! Sorry for the long long absence! It has been a while since my last post! 2016 was a tough year for me, especially to the end... but here I am, again! I chose something really juicy for the comeback! If you haven't been there yet, please visit Rome at least once in your life. It's such a wonderful city!

Well Michelangelo hid a brain in the background figures and shapes behind the image of God!  (source: the verge ) This is at least of the theory proposed in ...

This is a very interesting video by CGP Grey . Highly recommended! Enjoy!

Every once in a while Google/Youtube succeeds in giving me some good recommendations about new channels/videos I could be interested in. This is was exactly the case with Mathologer , a really interesting math channel, that I warmly recommend too. In the episode How not to die hard with math Burkard Polster analyses the problem which appeared in Die Hard with a vengeance (1995, Bruce Willis & Samuel L. Jackson). I wouldn't be surprised if the same problem would be chosen for testing the skills of an applicant during a job Interview! Enjoy!
