Yes, columnar reading is something special. Reminds me of ACM communication magazine. Though this must be a very small niche with web being so convenient - just click any link and read it...

Yes, CSS3 has a new module CSS Paged Media Module [0]. This should eventually replace XSL-FO for formatting for print. What I don't understand is who finds these useful anymore? except big enterprises like telecoms with dying legacy requirements. Those requirements will get totally replaced by web... Maybe there is still a niche for archiving with PDF/A

*Maybe publishers that don't want to be locked in with a single formatting tool (indesign)

What is it useful for? I saw someone on medium saying they would pay for software that turns his posts into a book but more than that?

Interesting... We need more oxygen than reptiles because we are 4 to 6 times less efficient in turning food to energy [0]

Reading this struck me: What is the difference between primordial volcanoes and human pollution? During the dinosaur age it was a lot hotter [0] and there were really extraordinary organisms. Further reading seems to go down a rabbit hole [1],etc.

How was https traffic leaked? Cloudflare, in order to offer its services, acts like a man in the middle and internally decrypts https traffic [0]

1) InnerTrends summarizes user behavior from signup to customer. 2) I can't find competitors on crunchbase. Off the top of my head - the difference is that you are specialized on onboarding analytics. 3) Even if I know (what users do) can I take good actions based on it? or could I just critical think and ask some questions

I am a 1 man company. Took 30min during which I read your website and learned the concepts. Based on your price I am not your target

I say they should keep their money and control! Educate and involve them in important things early. The HARC initiative looks great. Such an initiative could answer questions like: What are important problems? What do we need to do to efficiently solve such problems? Have we spent too much effort on a single solutions? Is it time to try another way? What can we do to bypass bureaucracy? I trust businesses to have a mindset for risk and results. In my opinion charities behave more like guardians preserving/nurturing more than making a 10X change.
