Time to get back to some focused reading. There’s nothing better than a quick, nice Poirot mystery. So I am reading The Mystery of the Blue Train.
Thoughts
Something deep within made me say this today - “Chickpeas in cuisine are like potholes on the road. More there are, more people learn to ignore and avoid them. Eventually, you don’t like them, but you don’t mind them either”. I think I now will always back this 🙃
With Stadia, Google underestimated the lack of interest amongst the pro gamers in streaming game service. And at the same, it overestimated the number of casual gamers that would be interested in playing A-list games. It had to result in a lack of enthusiasm for the service.
Musk, his tweets and predictions are irritating. I can never make up my mind if he is an unlucky genius or a lucky idiot.
I recently came across this unique app Mubi - a curated movies streaming app. “Hand-picked Cinema” is the message from them. The idea is interesting, a selected movie each day from across the world. 30 days to catch up on the movies. Sounds wonderful for discovery.
Any feedback on the Freedom app? I am into a trial period, however, feel that the trial is too limiting. 7 days, 7 sessions is too less to decide if the app will be useful. I feel the app can help, especially blocking access on all device in a single session is a nice feature.
Stop quoting politicians, making what meaningless they say the headlines. Quote experts, give them more space, more importance in what you write. Hopefully looking at the larger coverage that the experts gain, politicians will feel the shame. And stop playing politics for once.
Interesting to know what makes Llamas antibodies more effective again Coronavirus. Science, respect.
This more diminutive antibody can access tinier pockets and crevices on spike proteins — the proteins that allow viruses like the novel coronavirus to break into host cells and infect us — that human antibodies cannot. That can make it more effective in neutralizing viruses.
Tech news, especially about new products, just don’t interest me any more. Feel so futile. Superficial. Superfluous.
In this period of lockdown, we’re avoiding every visit outside the home as much as possible. It also means there are times when I wish we had more than the single iPad we’ve today. A privileged ask, I know. But just can’t help - it has been the most used device outside of work.
