Splatter

I have a valid phone number that ends in 0000 that I got multiple decades ago.

There are many websites where I enter my phone number and it's rejected. Sometimes programmers are too clever for their own good.

People who make posts like yours should be required to disclose how far in the red they are in their Tesla short position.

This thread is replete with ad hominems, mind reading, and speculation ("admit it, Musk's bid for Twitter was to unmuzzle Trump". No proof offered though).

I'm okay with Musk. If you're not, fine. Why the need to constantly assert evil intentions by those you disagree with? It's gets tiring.

WordStar had a similar fate.

I'm a big fan of Bitwarden and have been a loyal user for years. I'm a convert from LastPass and haven't looked back. I'd say more about it but I suspect there are going to be lots of positive comments that will echo my thoughts.

Seems like there would be an opening here for DDG to create a separate section (if they're insistent on this disinformation down-rank path) to publish a clear and falsifiable algo their systems use to determine disinformation and also an option to view those results that are down-ranked as a result of the algo.

Here are my favorites that I listen to on a regular basis and can highly recommend:

EconTalk (Russ Roberts)

Conversations with Tyler

Darknet Diaries

Security Now

Sean Carroll's Mindscape

Lex Fridman Podcast

Making Sense Sam Harris

Commentary Magazine

The Editors by National Review

The Fifth Column

The Glen Show (Glen Lowry)

Longform Podcasts have had a huge impact on my intellectual development over the last decade. And I thank god for speed control (2.2x for me).

Wouldn't it be better to argue why what was heard on Rogan's podcast is wrong, rather than implicitly arguing that all solutions heard on Rogan's podcast are wrong. To me, your response seems like the bigger problem.

Information (including dis- and mis-) is all around us. Arguing that information from sources you dislike is wrong because you dislike the source is illogical. Respectfully, you should address exactly why what was heard on Joe Rogan's podcast is wrong.

This is my experience too. In fact I stopped using todoist due to how it handled recurring tasks - which, like you, is a huge part of how I stay organized. For me, "remember the milk" does recurring correctly and is very low friction.

Epidemiology and history wasn't as effective as you think in identifying the origins of The Spanish Flu. The origin being Kansas is only one of many plausible theories.

I haven't seen him mentioned in this thread, but I was introduced to the phenomenal drummer Dave Weckl through Chick Corea and his Elektric Band. In my mind, Dave is the best drummer alive today. The mix of technical and musical skills is super impressive. After Dave played with Chick and the Elektric Band he's done several albums and is all over the place sharing his gift with folks from around the world. Look him up, you won't be disappointed.

This is why I think it's so important that the internet begins moving towards decentralization soon.

Much of the censorship and top-down control we're witnessing today will only get worse while there's no bittorrent-like or blockchain-like decentralization.

I have been a diehard user of the Vivaldi browser for a while now. I just posted the referenced article to their forum stating that Vivaldi should follow suit. Without such support I'll likely change to Brave specifically due to IPFS support.

The internet is in desperate need of decentralization.

> and a few months of rent amnesty for everyone (including businesses) (it's not like houses will disappear if somebody doesn't pay the rent).

This is being proposed where I live. I'm curious to know who, in this situation, pays the owners of the rental properties for the use of the house, for the expenses and maintenance, for the employees, plumbers, electricians, and contractors, etc. And what about lost profits due for the assumption of the risk of buying properties for the purpose of providing homes for people to live?

What's frustrating is that very many sites know of this method and simply trim the "+uniqueid" from a gmail.com address before inserting it into their database.
