If he's the Monster of Florence too, he didn't stop at all. He just moved to Italy, and kept killing people (the first documented murder there is just some months after he left the US)

As it turns out, the guy behind the Zodiac nick just confessed to be the Monster of Florence, the author of at least 7 murders of young couples in the area of Florence, Italy. Nothing official has been released to the public yet, but it seems he's a dismissed US Army officer. Here's the article in the Italian press: http://www.ilgiornale.it/news/politica/killer-zodiac-mi-ha-c...

Me neither, and I'm Italian. I'll also add that minimum age for retirement is being pushed farther and farther (I probably won't be able to retire until I'm 67 or something like that).

I can teach Italian if that helps me grow my hippocampus, I'm Italian, fond of Belgian beer and I drink at least 330ml a day - here's to hoping they cancel out :P

Not sure if psychotic or not, but I don't get how one can even think those are actually meaningful schematics. I mean, a basic calculator schematic looks more complex!
Giordano Bruno itself is pretty overestimated: now regarded as a protector of rational thought, some study of his life reveals an opportunistic relation with religion. He's probably the only one being excommunicated from every possible European confession at the time (catholic, lutheran and calvinist). One wonders why he got into those religious orders in the first place.
If it was a Tesla statue, I'd give a bit more hope to the intellectual value of those "encrypted" (very poorly, it seems) texts.
There are much more trustable examples of fool geniuses (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TempleOS).. this looks a mental outbreak at best, or just some attention seeking maneuver. Notice the strong resemblance of the two Brunos... maybe the guy thinks he's a descendant?
I really hope they'll find him safe and quickly.

Now I'm not sure but that would make a great videogame. Just to exorcise reality.

Not that i have any aversion to Roberto Saviano, but i would strongly prefer to see Giovanni Falcone being mentioned, above and before any other real (or so-called) anti-mafia warrior (anti-mafia means a lot of professional layers of "antiness").
intAligned | 9 years ago | on: Britain is the most corrupt country in the world?
Every time i read news about corruption i check if Italy is being mentioned. This is how i found your comment. This is how i decided to reply that yeah in Italy corruption is a second state (voluntarily lowercase).

Sketch actually arrived in a period when the vector / pixel drawing tool space was pretty filled up by giants like illustrator and photoshop. They still hold the "best software in da place" title. But, Sketch found its niche by offering a mixed, self-contained solution. The point is, first, distinction: while Adobe brought real innovation, Sketch somewhat aggregated functionality. Today, there are new fields opening (AI suffices to keep the thread open for ages). So it's actually safe to say that there will be a) space for primary innovation applications and b) space for aggregators, re-configurators of selected functionality looking for niche functionality (very much like Coda, today totally disrupted, did with web development tools ~ 5 years ago). Just look at Sublime and Atom. Even Coda.. wasn't it Vim with some fancy ftp plugin and tree plugin?
