17th Aug - Weekender: Weekly Support

Here is the ending week in review and the next one previewed. Happy weekends and do take the time to see the classic lecture on the exponential growth – if you lose your will to live because of that, don’t blame me – it’s the math, stupid :=). 

I will update this post as new stuff comes online, and the usual Weekender-posts are coming, so check back during the weekend. And do scroll down for some interesting articles (in Finnish) on Finland's recent fumbling.
