I’m curious if you have a source for that? There has been lots of speculation on how much X traffic has reduced, but the best data I can find basically says that it might’ve dropped from the 2nd most visited website to the 5th most visited website in the world (according to SimilarWeb).

I’m sure you didn’t mean it, but in the English language “Pollak” and its variations are derogatory terms for people of Polish descent. The preferred term is “Pole.”

There are also many students who have phones in high school and graduate valedictorian, so I’m not sure we can draw any conclusions.

When I was buying a Tesla with autopilot back in 2015, the salesperson was telling me that autopilot would become FSD with only software updates. Honestly, it felt more like poor training of salespeople rather than outright fraud because the marketing material said different.

I can confirm I’ve received a check for $0.01 from the IRS. My understanding is it was because of miscalculation of interest owed.

You assume that most people who want to invest even understand what SPY is, what a proper allocation looks like between stocks and bonds, what tax-loss harvesting or rebalancing is, etc. For those folks, robo-advisors provide a huge value-add in making it really simple to invest responsibly. If they were to do it on their own, they probably wouldn't know where to begin.

“Breached” seems like a strong word: “ LinkedIn tells Bloomberg in a statement that it looked into the matter and found that the data was web scraped public information from its site and other platforms.”

So they scraped a bunch of websites including LinkedIn and created a joint dataset?

An interesting side effect here is that people are opting for domestic alternatives. We are in the process of remodeling our house and were going to get our windows from Italy and our heat pump system from Japan, but given the long lead times for container unloading (sometimes as much as 6 weeks on the west coast in addition to the 4 week voyage) we opted for American windows and a Carrier heat pump system (at higher cost).

Do you know why Sia is overlooked so often? I see a lot of shills on forums and the founder seems to tweet bitterly about Filecoin, but folks seem optimistic about the tech. So what am I missing that makes Sia not get adoption vs. Filecoin?
