Nerd culture is destroying Silicon Valley. My first girlfriend was someone I met through a MUD, and I had to fly 7,000 miles to see her in person.
I read a paper version of the Jargon File at 15 and it became my bible. Just reading its descriptions of the internet I knew it was world-changing, even before the web, and as soon as I could I snuck into the local university computer labs with a borrowed account to experience the wonder of Usenet, FTP, and Gopher. I chose my college because Turing had once taught there, and the designer of the ARM chip would be one of my lecturers.
My first job out of college was helping port the original Diablo to the first Playstation, and I spent five years writing games. I’ve dived deep into GPU programming. I’m a grown man who still plays Dungeons and Dragons. My point is that if anyone can claim to be a nerd, it’s me. Over the last decade, that’s changed. Startups are sexy. And that’s where the problem lies. The Outlaw Instagrammers of New York City. The 17-year-old photographer Humza Deas spends so much time exploring the air above New York City that he’s begun to run into people he knows up there.
On a recent balmy night he strolled across the Manhattan Bridge, snapping long exposures of FDR Drive from the pedestrian walkway. He was descending into Chinatown when, about 50 feet over Henry Street, his name wafted out. “Hum-zah DEEEEEEEEEEEZ!” Two backpack-laden figures ran laughing over the rooftop of a six-story building across the street, just a few feet above the walkway. They scurried up a ladder to an empty billboard and disappeared around its far side. There has long been a subculture of so-called “urban explorers” who have made a game of accessing off-limits places. Even as individual Instagrammers have gained tens of thousands of followers, the community remained largely out of the mainstream, until last month, when Deas nearly blew up the scene. But Deas has been keeping a lower profile since the white-flag incident.
¿Es la gentrificación tan mala como la pintan? En 2008, tres universidades norteamericanas (Colorado, Pittsburgh y Duke) realizaron un estudio en más de quince mil barrios y llegaron a una conclusión que hoy a muchos les parecerá poco acertada: los latinos, los negros y otros sectores en riesgo de exclusión social no se habían ido de sus barrios.
Es más, ahora les gustaban más que antes de que se ejerciera sobre ellos ese proceso social y urbanístico que hoy está en boca de todos: la gentrificación. Claro que de eso han pasado seis años. Los nuevos hipsters. Hipsters, modernos sin remedio ni solución y gente guapa e incorrecta estuvieron anoche en la party por el 20 aniversario de Neo2.
Fotos: Nosolocurro Entré yo en la fiesta de Neo2 con mis gafas de pasta y un cometido fundamental: hallar la diferencia entre un hipster y un moderno y, más allá de eso, investigar si ha sido creada una nueva tribu urbana a la que podríamos llamar “los nuevos hipsters”, pero pronto comprendí que mi investigación no sería fácil ni sencilla pues a los invitados VIP (gracias) nos recibieron de la misma manera en que desearían ser recibidos todos los invitados del mundo: con champán Veuve Clicquot, y no una copita de cortesía, no: había botellas enteras en las mesas que los hipsters o los modernos abrían ellos mismos una detrás de otra de forma que en el momento mismo en el que el gentil camarero se daba cuenta de que una de ellas llegaba a su fin, era repuesta por otra. Study: Most People Aren’t Biased Against Female Bosses. A new study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology has analyzed the findings of 95 previous studies and determined that there is no difference in perceived leadership effectiveness of men and women.
Both genders were equally likely to be perceived as effective, competent leaders — though the study notes that there was an assumption in previous studies that people would be biased in favor of male bosses. For a fun note about self-perception though, the scientists write that if self-evaluations are examined, men rate themselves as better leaders than women rate themselves. So don't be so hard on yourselves, female bosses of the earth, they like you, they really do. The 3 Tree. Elciruelosblog. Out 2 brunch. Out 2 brunch. HfS. HIPSTERS FROM SPAIN.
