30 minutes on a bike in Boston

I was in Boston (more than a month ago, but I did not find the time to write it down), and I realized that also there there is a system for bike sharing (like my beloved ‘Velib” in Paris or ‘Sevici’ in Seville).

I have found out that they have come up with a very useful diagram that explains in a very straightforward way the payment system (you have to pay more if you use your bike for more than 30 minutes).

I wonder why the same diagram was not adopted in Paris (it was so difficult to explain it in words!)

Maximalist and Minimalist Perspectives on Infinity

Going back in Seville to what I was studying before diagrams… set theory and infinity. Should we be maximalist or minimalist about our universe of sets?

Maximalist and Minimalist Perspectives on Infinity: A meeting on set theory and its philosophy

Speakers:Tatiana Arrigoni (Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento); Joan Bagaría (Universitat de Barcelona); Laura Crosilla (University of Leeds); Sy Friedman (Kurt Gödel Centre for Mathematical Logic, Vienna); Ignasi Jané (Universitat de Barcelona)
