   I don't agree with any information tracking, but should note that this type of collection, e.g., of shopping data, doesn't exactly mean the information will be leaked or used for nefarious purposes, etc. And, for many, they do sha

   I can't see the comment you replied to but I assume it was about the US. If so, I'd recommend the South Park episode about the US's genius innovation of having its cake and eating it, too :)

   Political parties, unending terms, and lack of accountability on electeds' wages/benefits/post-office work have all hurt the US in my opinion.

   Yea I used AOL chatrooms and then AIM chatrooms in the late 1990's into the 2000's. I liked that AIM allowed you to connect with strangers who may have had similar interests but were outside your network (unlike Facebook). A few p

   TBL sold out a while ago, with DRM/EME only a recent example. Also not sure anything he says on this matter can be unbiased when both Facebook and Google pay membership fees to the W3C.

    I think Dalio used to be more against Bitcoin. His writing/books are definitely worth reading though.

    It's not standard for a broker to not have live customer service. When/after I make a trade I can call Fidelity and talk to somebody. This kid tried to contact customer support and got an automated message. Try calling Uber or GoP

    I liked the Edgar Scissorhands commercial the most, followed by this one. The Reddit commercial was good, too. I thought most of the commercials were pretty awful this year.

    Pre-COVID some restaurants in the US had started moving away from tips (and adjusting wages). In Japan it's very refreshing to not be expected to tip.
