I placed my first-ever order on the Google store last year for a Pixel phone. Then a FedEx employee left a voicemail asking suspicious questions about my package. Then my phone went missing. FedEx later said they had no record of an employee calling me and would "investigate". It took two weeks of relentlessly following up to get a replacement. FedEx was never able to locate my stolen/missing phone. Never order directly from Google and avoid FedEx at all costs.

I have no memory of opting in, I checked under Settings -> Google and "COVID-19 Exposure Notifications" was set to "Off", and the MassNotify app was still installed on my phone. It has no icon and the only way to find it is going to Settings -> Apps & notifications -> See all apps and it comes up under "Massachusetts Department of Public Health". Then when you go to the Google Play Store and search "MassNotify" or "mass notify" or even "Massachusetts Department of Public Health" (the exact name of the app), it doesn't come up in the search results. You have to go to "Manage apps & device" on the Google Play Store then scroll down to "MassNotify" which doesn't even match the name of the app in the other settings menu. This is pretty shady.

Would it be reasonable to assert pure proof of stake is less risky than delegated proof of stake? I don't claim to be an expert in crypto but from what I've read it seems like pure proof of stake is a leap ahead of other consensus algorithms in terms of security, energy usage, etc.

What's stopping Mercury or Brex's partner bank from pulling the carpet out from under them too? The bank I switched away from to join Azlo is archaic and frustrating to deal with but I'm having second thoughts creating an account with another banking startup if it might close a few years later. I now have to inconvenience my clients and ask them to update the ACH information they have on file. I have no idea if there will be problems getting my money out either. I never expected this from a bank.

Yo dawg, I heard you like Facebook, so I put a Facebook in your Facebook so you can Facebook while you Facebook.

It's called water hammer. You could try putting in water hammer arrestors.

I also have tinnitus from chronic ear infections when I was a child. I find that the WHM doesn't get rid of the high pitched hum but temporarily adds a white-noise-like sound on top of it.

The first strategy I completely agree with. Growth happens outside of your comfort zone.

The second and third strategies I don't completely relate to. If it works for you, great.

The fourth I would somewhat disagree with. You need to know where you're going before you start playing but "moving towards a perfect mental image" is just silly. Is this piano player trying to be a robot? There are countless ways to play certain pieces and a lot of the time it depends how you're feeling that day. Play like a human being. This quote by Beethoven is apt, "To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable." I would say the most important thing is to play with passion and to try to stay true to the spirit of the piece you're playing.

I think the actual product images are more tangible to the customer compared to the illustrations. My gut feeling is that the new design and repositioning of the elements on the page don't make a huge difference aside from drawing attention to the product images.
