Welcome to nonostantement: a random newsletter that gives you personal recommendations of cool stuff.
Next Wednesday (the 4th of December) I will give a lecture for IED at Circolo del Design in Turin!
I will discuss about Influencer Marketing, where it came from and where it is going - with some cool examples. If you want to show up, reply to to this email and we will sort that out ;)
This playlist has been the soundtrack of this newsletter (in random order)

"'La mayorÃa de los sitios regalan el historial de navegación de sus usuarios a Facebook. Ya no hacemos eso', dijo Chris Wiggins, Chief Data Scientist del NY Times."[In Italian] - No, Airbnb non è sostenibile. Il caso Firenze
"Perché i singoli host sono chiamati a discutere di un fenomeno di massa facilitato anche da Airbnb? Perché la responsabilità di trovare soluzioni per un turismo sostenibile dovrebbe ricadere su di loro?"[In Italian] - Chi è davvero Alessandro Barbero, lo storico che è diventato una star di Youtube
"Negli ultimi anni quella specie di piana del Serengeti che è l’internet italiano è stata un luogo abbastanza omogeneo e piatto. [...] L’unico elemento di rottura è stato rappresentato da un fenomeno quasi inspiegabile, quello di Alessandro Barbero."[Video] - Visiting a British Pub with BG

"A special training facility complete with duplicates of buildings, streets and businesses used to train Soviet agents in Western culture before sending them to the United States."Quantifying reputation and success in art
"In areas of human activity where performance is difficult to quantify in an objective fashion, reputation and networks of influence play a key role in determining access to resources and rewards.

"In Persian culture there is something called 'tarof' where everyone must yield/offer something to everyone else, and everyone must also refuse that offer, which leads to hilarious social circumstances like this"
