I guess I'll need a burner phone when traveling to the US in the near future. Just as a lot of people do when visiting China. What a turn of events!

There is a circle with 10 nuclear stations that is erroneously located (on the map) in the Atlantic just south of West Africa. That should be in/near China.

I would not use any influencer product either. But as an observer of the world around me I am intrigued. When I first heard the word influencer I thought that this is something that will never fly. But over the years I see how they have been "adding to the economy". Some of the things in the article made my jaw drop. Like, Bend OR spends over 100K on influencers and gets millions back as a result. And that is Bend, OR which is not a well-known destination!

Travel companies, places and influencers are changing the economics of travel. Here is an mutually beneficial system that is forming due to the need to travel somewhere with people "you know". Covid has changed the social life of (particularly) young people: they are lonlier than previous generations. Instagram provides a means to fix that. The travel industry and cities are making use of that with the aid of influencers.

Thanks for the link.

When I say "hard to believe" I don't mean to say that I don't believe it. With that out of the way, I am merely stating that it challenges my gray cells: how could sound waves hitting the ear drums cause the variety of health issues that are reported in the article.

Hard to believe that such severe health issues can result from noise. I find it harder to believe that Bitcoin mining can cause so much noise. Shouldn't Marathon realize the evil of their ways?

Not only is it not funny, it isn't true at all. Disclosure: I am Swiss too, albeit a naturalized one.

That Wikipedia article makes no mention of the new currency being gold-backed.

This post in HN has made my day! I have been a Digitec customer for over 15 years and I still buy all my tech items from them. Or from Galaxus if it is a non-tech. I am thrilled to see this "little Swiss" company getting wider exposure. I am glad to say that my overall experience with them has been 5-star. I remember I bought computer components from them in the early days as that was the cheapest way to get a custom computer built with the best parts. There were other sites but Digitec stood out when it came to dependability. Hat's off to you, Digitec/Galaxus!!

It was, for a while. It could have been much much more but I was just a nerdy engineer with no idea of marketing and full of idealism in my head. I asked for $2K for a perpetual license for any number of machines in the enterprise. I could have easily asked for $5K per year. That was a missed opportunity.
