But what if you knock on the door of a property, ask the owner whats the price he's willing to sell the property at, owner says a price, and then you accept that price? Is that binding without the property owner also accepting? Doesn&#

From my research the most important thing is for it to have soft bristles with round bristle heads (obviously you can't check bristle heads with your eyes, too small). Most you find in supermarkets have medium or hard bristles. The hea

I once asked the dentist why are there so many different toothbrush head shapes, with the bristles at all kind of angles and patterns, rubber inserts and so one. Surely by now we know what's the optimal shape? And the answer was that y

They seem to say that there is exactly one optical fiber going to exactly one device which is all of the connection of each of their datacenter. Is that correct? That seems very single-point-of-failureish to me.

Sounds like a job for a design & typesetting DALL-E AI. BTW, Kindle is pretty successful, and pretty much all books use a standard design template, so the great importance of typesetting & design is questionable.

Modern devices have tiny features which are extremely fragile to any sort of interference, which are much more abundant than cosmic rays. See the row-hammer attack where you can flip an unrelated bit just by read/writes to adjacent bit
