The second part of your need is interesting. I'm being a bit generic but to speak with CEOs, it would greatly help to know about strategy and competition. It's a loaded term and here's what I would recommend: 1. Michael Porte

Love the amount of details that has gone into this. Truly is a work of passion. I am waiting for a part-3 which should hopefully cover some of the "techy" stuff that can be built into the home. For e.g., Ethernet cables all over?

Oxford is set to publish its results in The Lancet on Jul 20[0]. Would be interesting to see the differences and how these two compare (there must be something based on which we could say one is better than the other?) [0] https:/

I did a bit of digging around to see some data around TLDs and one of the top hits seems to be Hosting Tribunal[0]. Some interesting stats : The top 4 gTLDs seem to be .com, .org, .net, .co. dot com clearly won't make the cut for you

At a startup I worked earlier, we tried two things that helped : 1. Reserved instances (you commit for a year and you can save 20% - charged monthly. AFAIK no upfront costs) 2. Like another reader suggested here, there are accelerators

tl;dr Article mentions a longitudinal study of this theory but the study was criticised for selective data. Article mentions that Ms Kubler-Ross started researching spirit media and the likes which would have contributed to her decline.

My mind goes back to Sweden really. It was a sort of (unintended) natural experiment which seems to have gone wrong. In hindsight, the devil (of herd immunity) in details is really an eye-opener for many public health officials I guess. A
