MMT is a fringe view considered unscientific by the vast majority of economists.

I'm using Tiktok on my iPhone and I can't even find an option to allow access to my location? I'm pretty sure any Apps can't access my browsers or search history either..?

In all of the examples you provided there's either no personalization or you have to manually curate your feed. Tiktok and youtube are the only ones where your feed is automatically curate for you.

I guess China has some money-worth applications for face recognition which luckily there isn't demand for in Western countries

That's incorrect. Meta-analyses show all widely accepted therapies are efficient exactly because public health authorities only fund and support scientific therapies. There are plenty of great-sounding therapies which are not effective and thus not widely used.

There is a dramatic difference in how flattering the angle of a photo is. Portraits should always be taken minimally at eye level, never below. Having the camera any lower makes people look uglier on video or selfies.

That's incorrect. A company's market cap includes any cash the company has. Buying stock means spending that cash but increasing the value of the stock by an equal amount.

Stock buybacks don't affect market cap.

Is this the same Edge team which forces a Bing search bar on your New Tab page, even if you've removed Bing as a search provider in the settings?

Thanks so much for the validation! I really tried to love new fixed with fonts but they all look horrible compared to OSX default. Glad to know I'm not the only one who doesn't like the kool aid

That's assuming you want to leave the whole 2 million principal in your will to your children. I don't see why - if you want to retire, you can consume the whole principal while you live.

That's a bit incorrect. Returns from a typical investment portfolio have been over 4% for the last 10-20 years, so that's the amount you can withdraw without depleting any principal. If you're looking to consume your whole principal by the time you die you can go way ahead of 4%, easily double that.
