Friday Links!

From DQ Fishing and Guitar Advisor David Gloier, a terrific read: Moscow’s Spies Were Stealing US Tech — Until the FBI Started a Sabotage Campaign

From David Gloier, and it's excellent: My weeks of reading hornily: steamy book sales have doubled – and I soon found out why.

From C. Lee, and it's a fascinating read: What can sea squirts tell us about neurodegeneration? Next, and this is tremendously concerning, it's Years of miscalculations by U.S., NATO led to dire shell shortage in Ukraine. Easy to see happening: Capacitive controls could be the cause of a spate of VW ID.4 crashes. This is amazing! Lanes for self-driving cargo being built on expressway. Unbelievable: Intel's CPU instability and crashing issues also impact mainstream 65W and higher 'non-K' models — damage is irreversible, no planned recall. This is remarkable: MIT scientists develop transistor with nanosecond switching and billion-cycle durability. Unexpected: Air pollution makes it harder for bees to smell flowers. Bizarre: The story behind that weird lever at the top of the stairs in old SF homes. A visionary author in many ways: How Octavia Butler’s 1993 book ‘Parable of the Sower’ predicted our climate reality. Last, but absolutely not least, a fantastic article about Douglas Adams in the Digital Antiquarian: The Later Years of Douglas Adams
