Early Quora was remarkable by how many high profile people were answering. That was a big part of its early appeal. An example I still remember. Someone asked How much it cost for AOL to distribute all those CDs in the 90s... and Steve Case

But there are more vaccinated people than unvaccinated people, so it’s proportionally not “almost as much chance”. Ultimately when enough of the population is vaccinated, you’d expect the majority of hospitalizations to be vaccinated.

What's your personal 'true' tax rate? Taxes paid divided by all income and all gains (unrealized capital gains, increase in real estate value, etc...). I'm sure you don't know. No one knows or has a frame of refere

Seems the solution to that (if u think it’s a problem) is eliminating step up basis. The reason that works is that basis is reset at death.

As others have said, I was simply offering a suggestion to help debug, not passing judgement on adblockers. I have had Safari open for 23 hours on my M1 MBP, and it is using ~800mb of memory right now. Extensions are the most likely culprit

If you are using an ad block or other extensions, that is likely the cause. I can't find specific reference, but try turning those off. edit: https://twitter.com/hondanhon/status/1329132372034347009

Facebook and Instagram use carousels for their Stories feature. Google uses carousels for News stories and product results. Are they the exception and if so, why? Or are they not aware of the user data?
