RIP weekly news

Dear friends, I have been publishing weekly mailing list for more than two years, starting in December 2016 and as of today, the few hundreds people signed. As I have only one life and it's moving way too fast, I have decided to stop working on the weekly news and focus more on building things and writing meaningful articles about them.
