From what I understand (I used to live in the main city for that), even the vibration from local trains are a factor

That was a big one here this morning 50 minutes ago. Earthquake alert and later a rare tsunami alert. Very shaky.

It's such an exciting new wave of technology, I just wish it wasn't being spearheaded by Facebook. On the other hand, I can't wait to see how they further corrupt humanity with yet another tool in their pocket

I'd like to try a better version of using the default notes app on iphone. I keep attempting over the years to keep at it but end up never reviewing the notes. I have half the battle down...I use it for a crazy amount of ideas but yea, definitely need to adopt a more consistent routine. Interesting to see what others do like this article

Thanks for the interesting points, one quick question I don't quite get, you state interest rates are high now but then reference them being 0.25%?

I was a voracious reader as a child all the way until I got to university where I had to consume incredibly dense tomes of the most boring subjects known to man. It took me a while to get into the habit of being able to consume 10-15 of those a year. I did it. But it forever killed my thirst to read anything afterward that wasn't consumable within 30 minutes. The great irony of this...I write for a living now.

Interesting points, I hadn't thought of the discord-type thing before. I guess my premise is closer to the last point you made, recently found out there's massive networks of 'news' websites all using GPT-3 to produce, well, basically whoever their funders want them to produce. The one in particular had something like 1300 websites within 1 network all owned by 1 small company, with 1 real article to every 100 generated ones. And they were all the exact same positions on highly political stuff. Made me sigh. Thanks for your feedback

I'm just getting a more general evolving sense that the writing/information quality of top results for random topics on Google are diminishing. Probably just in my own little echo-chamber I suppose, thought it might be interesting to hear outside perspectives

I was excited to try it relatively early on in its popularness spike. I spent I think 3 evenings walking around listening to multiple channels or whatever they're called. Nearly every one seemed to be a snakeoil sales pitch and I just got sickened by it. Deleted it after a week and never looked back.

Using his Times' email addy after not working there anymore was probably the earliest red flag.

It seems to me their entire repeated justification is to pass the buck to foreign governments that buy their product. It's like the 4th time I've seen this company pop up in my newsfeed in the last 6 months, every time a similar story. I wonder when enough is enough for whoever holds authority over them
