No idea, been happy with joplin app to be honest for personal note making. Simple enough and captures most use-cases cases. Just not as elegant as notion, but optionality is great

Great list! I'd just add one complementary platform to the fun. brilliant.org, the way they approach math puzzles is stimulating and has been great to enhance understanding. You need to subscribe, but if you actually use it I think it

Just because a fart can propel a person, doesn't mean it will take you to the moon... i.e. just because analogs exist, don't expect their performance characteristics to be invariant

Human greed is the problem. How much of promising tech, starts out so innocent till big money becomes aware of it or those who want to make a quick dime, tarnish principled thinking and action.

I recently read an article (sorry, can't find it now), that one of the risks with 5G is that it may adversely impact navigational systems. Wonder if this may be having an impact on GPS as it grows in market share?
