The Apollo Digest - July 17th, 2017

in #tech7 years ago

 The Apollo Digest is a collection of my daily readings before work. I only include material that I believe have an actual value-add (new info, new perspective, insightful analysis, etc) regardless of opinion. Inclusion of material in the Apollo Digest is in no way a guaranteed reflection of my own opinions. A couple more points:

1) Given the selection criteria, I would be more than happy to engage in discussion of the material in the comment section!
2) If a particular story/article seriously grabs your attention and would like to read/know more about it, please let me know and I will try my best to cover it in the daily "Apollo Report".
3) If you make a comment about a certain story/article that ends up in the "Apollo Report", I will try my best to include your contribution to the report with full credit.
