I'm pretty sure that nerds respond well to (marketing) blog posts that show how some new tech solves all of their problems by showing a simple example of that tech, while ignoring edge cases and future complexity. That'll all be f

I don't believe it's actually the case that once you are infected by the delta strain your body has lasting immunity to that same strain. It looks like that also is affected by age and other constraints: https://www.nat

Back in the day, Apple simultaneously: * wanted a 30% cut on all Kindle book sales (sold via iOS) * had negotiated with most major book publishers that any book distributer (aka Amazon, Apple, B&N, etc) must sell their books at exactly
