The reliability of inferred archaic segments

Is the Era of Happy Tech Workers Really Over?
If you’re thinking about a future in tech, you might imagine working at a cool company with free food, comfy lounges, and flexible hours.

Amazing Update & Black Friday
Hia folks, Did you see the new update on the app store? 😮 We appointed Margelo as consultants and they started working on PB in October. The master engineer given to us was Christian Falch. This man created the technology that PB is coded in. 🧑🚀 I could immediately see he was a professional and knew his craft very well. That's why they were so expensive. You pay for quality - and I'm all for paying for quality work. In fact - I believe it's a Godly principle.
Thank You (we did it!) 🙏🏻
Hi folks, 👋🏻 As you may relate from the title - we did it! Apple accepted our iPhone version and we are free of the App Store police (for now). If you have no idea what I'm talking about - Apple wanted to take down PB from the App Store (see previous newsletter). The iPhone version is live on the App Store (read-only), but we hope to add finger touch for drawing very soon. I appreciate all the support! The PB Community is the best. 💪 We are still adding the NIV.
Apple wants to remove Pencil Bible from the App Store! 😡

Not for Pencil Bible though. 😅 We planned to release the NIV this weekend, but Apple suddenly decided that the iPhone version of PB is not up to standard (I didn't even want an iPhone version, but more on that later). So what happened? Apple did a random review and noticed that PB for iPhone does not really work.

Fake drugs are one reason malaria still kills so many
Malaria, a mosquito-borne parasitic infection that affects about 3.2 billion people in 95 countries, has become largely a disease of the young and poor.

It is one of the most common bacterial infections in children aged two to five years.
